Before applying for firefighters positions, Eendlam and Clemens were both teachers. Engleman was attending the University of Kansas, teaching as a graduate assistant and working on her master's degree in physical education. "I was overqualified, so I couldn't find a 1 I was making do with waitressing" "English." "WHEN I FIRST started, it put some pressures on my husband. "Now I think he's a little jealous—he wants to be a firefighter too." Engleman said she never thought she would do anything like firefighting. "I used to play with dolls and was into clothes," she said. "Now it's a career, not just a job." Clemens was teaching at the Ballard Community Center when she read the ad for firefighters. She said she'd been interested in firefighting since she was a girl. "I fell in love with the trucks and the whole idea of being a hero, but as I got older I wasn't given any support so I put it on the shelf," she said. "When I began this my 17-year-old daughter thought I might want to reconsider. WHEN THE WOMEN began working at the fire department, it took about a week for the men and women to adjust and develop a family atmosphere, the women said. "It been a good experience for her to realize she's self-sufficient." Working with eight men required adjustment, the women agreed. "At first they wouldn't swear and they were real polite, but gone are the days when they were fake." "At first I was rather uncomfortable. I knew my place was my place. Now I think I've found my place." "I like coming to work, I like being here and I just love my job." Engleman said, "We didn't quite know how much they three days. But you live with these people. It really doesn't matter." "I do the same things they do. There's no favoritism. They help a lot, and they'd do the same for any rookie." Clemens said, "These men make the difference. They are not. If they had a bad attitude, it wouldn't happen." "It's a team anyway. You don't want to have a person on the team that doesn't pull his load." Engleman said that men from other stations were more skeptical about women "Men from other stations are real curious," she said. "They ask the others if I do a good job and they always ask questions about the sleeping accommodations." The three Lawrence fire stations have separate sleeping dorms for the women. Two of the stations converted offices and the third had an extra room. "We've arranged each station for private facilities," McSwain said. "It was better for successful integration and provides privacy and convenience for the "Overall integration of women in our station has been very successful." MURPHY SIGHTED The men of SAE were pleased to hear of a confirmed sighting of their lost brother Paddy Murphy, known rumhound and sheep botherer. Harvey county law enforcement officials arrested Murphy late yesterday for alleged shoplifting and drinking a gallon of charcoal filtered, distilled, bovine cleaner, from Johnson's Feed and Cattle depot. Murphy escaped from the police vehicle shortly after his arrest. Newton's police chief/mayor, Vern Beds commented on the escape, "Shoot, I reckoned I took a piece quick and I reckon he plowed阻 dem haybales on a clean dah back down dau truck." It was reported that Murphy approached Billy, Jo McCrackow, local woman, and between belaches and hic-cups, slurred. "Hey (hic) yery, wanna shug down (hic) a few wil me an (hic) my hooch (hic)?" After which Murphy disgorged the contents of his stomach on Mrs. McCrackow's print smock. Mrs. McCrackow was 81, and leaves behind two sons. Fraternity Vice President Bill Bacurus commented, "I would like to apologize to the surrounding communities and sheep owners. We kept him locked in the attic, heavily secured with Mad Dog 20/20, just as we usually do. However, we were very lucky that he was not shot." Bachus reminisced, "Paddy was a lady, a degenerate, an ewe plunder, a true sleep and eat, the best." Fraternity spokesman Anus McSphincter gave a description of Mr. Murphy, "Paddy was wearing an Ala buddadda Shriner's hat, hip waders, and a Hunter S, t-shirt. If you could get him to stand up long enough he d be about 6' tall Otherwise he is a yucky mess." when asked if it steps were going to be taken in regard to Murphy. Bacchus replied, "We're going to sleep on it." Anyone knowing the whereabouts of Paddy Murphy is encouraged to call the Chapter House. No collect calls accepted.
