play our role. We don't want to play management's
role. We don't want to manage ourselves, We want
people to strictly enforce work rules.

I: How would you guys change things if you were
the supervisors of the departmeit ?

B: Heck, all you really need to do is to establish
procedures to deal with people in a consistent, fair
manner and the place would just about run itself.
Because if you had procedures, and made sure that
employees understood your procedures and you used
your procedures in a fair way and you kept people
informed, things would pretty much run themselves.

I: Do you think it would be good if everybody could
be given more authority ? :

B: I think the authority is already there. WhenI was
foreman I found out that there were all kinds of pro-
cedures. How to reprimand a guy, how many repri-
mands a guy's suppose to get, what evaluation means,
the merit system... they have all these procedures,
all these bureaucratic tools to do things and in my o-
pinion a lot of lower line supervisors don’t even know
how to use those procedures. And so, when you have
an employe that's not very good, they don't know how
to weed him out. They end up getting rid of people
without going through proper channels.

I: Why didn't your report recommend that Watson be
fired?

D: We can't even get a recommendation that we need
to get three foremen out of the sanitation department
that are father, son and son-in-law. ..we can't even

i get that stopped so how can we recommend that Watson
: be fired? You know that's not going to be approved,

: If you can't get the littlest things accomplished, how
do you expect to get the major ones done ?

B: Lawrence is just too big a town to have one person

try to keep tabs on everything. Watson should
have people under him that he can trust, that know
how to do their jobs in a proper manner,

D: No man should have enough power that he can rule
this whole city by himself and that's the case we have
right here.

I: Do you ever see Watson and Purdy in your dreams
at night ?

B: It gets to me. You see l‘ve always been a person
that likes to get along with people andI‘ve found my -
self being an adversary and I've found myself for the
first time in my life having enemies, very powerful
enemies, people that don't like me and that bothers me,
ButI guess that is just a part of gYGwing up.

I: Do you think that labor and management will ever
get along ‘

B: I think that the day is coming... maybe what we need

 

is for everyone to sit down in a room and yell it out.

REMINDERS...

(Continued from page 3)

In the Office of Admissions dozens of pamphlets de-
scribe KU to the prospective student and parents.
"The University of Kansas... picturesquely located
on Mount Oread is the largest..."

The beauty of the Hill is a powerful magnet for the
administration in their efforts to increase student
head count. It’s sad mockery that the very people
responsible for aesthetic disasters such as new
Fraser, Blake, Robinson and Wescoe (to name a few
of the disasters) are those who have boasted and
thereby gained from the beauty of the University of
Kansas

The beauty of Mount Oread remains hearty and ro-
bust. For despite the many scars inflicted, some-
thing has protected nature‘s own from complete anni-
hilation.

I leave the KU dump, pondering a value system that
hauled Fraser, Blake and Robinson and discarded
them unceremoniously beside piles of trash, that
sold the clock that once graced the front of old Blake,
that recently ordered Buildings and Grounds to mow
the Pre're Acre southwest of Blake and that insists
on bobbing the trees, shrubs and grass on the Hill
like a fashion-conscious, meticulous flapper of the
“20s. ;

Someone should bring Daisies to the KU dump in me-
morium. Yes, Daisies and Daisies and Daisies to
scatter on the limestone fragments of the past. A
sign is needed before the entrance to the dump:
