Exhaust system causes fire in car as owner drives
By the Kansan Staff
A 1978 AMC station wagon caught fire last night while the owner of the car was driving in the northbound on the 1300 block of Connecticut Street.
The owner of the vehicle, Jack
Snodgrass, 1908 E. 19th St., said that
he had just bought the 1978 Pacer
earlier that afternoon.
"I just had the car a little more than an hour and a half," he said.
Fire investigators said the car was destroyed and estimated the value of the car at $1,800. Sndrograd said that his wife's purse, which contained $151, was lost in the fire.
Capt. Jerry Karr of the Lawrence Fire Department said that the fire was caused by a faulty exhaust system.
City employees see the other side as interns
By SHARON BODIN Staff Reporter
City employees now have the opportunity to "see how the other side works" by temporarily working in the city manager's office.
With the approval of their supervisors, the employees can leave their positions for five to six weeks and work in the manager's office as "in-house" intern.
"The point in this is to expose the interns to how the city manager's office works," said Mike Wilden, assistant city manager.
THE INTERNS TRANSFER from their regular jobs in the city and go to work for the same pay from 8 to 5 in the city manager's office.
Interns write letters for the mayor and the city manager, answer phones and help people who call in with questions. Wilden said the interns also conduct research work for the city manager.
Widgen said he brought the idea up to City Manager Buford Watson, and they put the idea into action late last year.
"If you didn't take it as a learning experience, you could get bored," Wildden said of the program.
He said that only one intern worked at a time.
at a time Doug McCauley is the intern for the office now, and he said the experience is valuable.
"It gives you a lot of insight as to what goes on in city management," he said. "It's a great opportunity to learn about government."
MCCAULEY, 28. WAS WORKING in the City Water Department before applying for the intern position. He said his job consisted mostly of maintenance work and fixing breaks in water lines.
"Most people who work for the city are pretty set in their jobs," he said.
McCauley graduated from the University of Kansas last fall with a bachelor's degree in public relations. He plans to return to KU this summer and start work on a master's degree in public administration.
He started the internship Jan. 9 and will return to his job in the water department in three or four weeks, he said.
"They want to be laborers. I've never had that attitude, and I applied thinking that someday I would be doing something like this."
"WHEN I STARTED THE internship, I had quite a few apprehensions, but nothing has been that hard. So far I love it," McCaulley said. "I think any city that would do this type of program is good. The city is

Brunt, a 27-year-old KU student from Nebraska major in psychology, had to complete his internship in three weeks between semesters at the University. After his internship, he moved to 2 a.m. shift at the police department.
Brunt is taking six hours in psychology this semester, and working four 10-hour shifts a week at the Police Department. He also teaches a karate class and a self-defense class for women two hours a week.
HE SAID HE HE READ about the internship from a memo written to people working in the Law Enforcement Center. He put in an application to the assistant chief of police and the chief of police, and later heard he had been chosen.
His reason for applying?
"I like to be the man who makes the decisions, rather than the one who just
started.
follows them, and I like to try anything new. It keeps my mind from staging.
He learned two things,he said
Adjusting to the change in working hours was the hardest part of the internship. Brunt said. He had to adjust his schedule earlier, and getting to work by 8 a.m.
For Brunt, the internship was a change of pace from police work, which is exciting sometimes, but like any other job, often boring, he said.
"I found that I can do administrative work," he said. "I also found that city government is like a play in that there is no one person that is most important. It's like you have the producer, the director, but no one person can do it alone."
In addition to answering phones and writing letters during the internship, Brunt said he did research on an emergency snow ordinance.
