KU employee gets coverage from Redbook feature article
By LISA GUTIERREZ Staff Reporter
Evy Gerson isn't letting national exposure go to her head, but local reaction to an article about the killing of a black man is growing.
"It's a little disorienting." Gersson, KU assistant director of student financial aid, said.
"Everybody was really pleased with me," she said. "They wanted to know what had led up to
A feature article about Gerson appeared in Redbook, a national magazine for young women, in its February issue. The feature was part of a series about jobs and how women find satisfying work.
GERSHON, who has worked in the financial aid department for three and a half years, reached her present position through a series of clerical and secretarial jobs—working as a member of the financial aid department and an receptionist in the and, later, acting placement director in the School of Law.
"The goal I had set for myself was to work in an administrative office in a central part of the city."
The Redbook article highlighted her goal and the way she achieved it.
How did a national magazine published on Park Avenue in New York City Hind Eyre Gershini wrote about it?
"The consulting editor who wrote the story contacted her sister, who is an English instructor"
When the editor, Jane Cibattari, called her sister Dense Low, Low told her about about her brother.
Clabattari contacted Gershan in November and asked her whether she'd be willing to do the
"It sounded like a good opportunity to share my experiences." Gerson said.
THE ENTIRE story took about two weeks to complete, she said, with Ciabattari interviewing her by telephone and sending a photographer to get a picture of Gershon at
"They were mainly excited that KU had gotten some good national publicity," she said.
When the February issue came out during the last few weeks of January, people started calling for an update.
the attention Gerisman received because of the article hasn't affected her life in any dramatic way.
"It's exciting," she said, "but I don't know that it makes me any different.
"He's more concerned with who's asking him to do something than what he's asked to do. The basic issue is whether or not the city commission has the trust of the broadest spectrum of com-

Watson
To fire Watson, three of the five commissioners would have to vote for the move.
"There's some merit in favor of the suggestion that we go through the evaluation," Glesson said.
Gleason would not say whether he would move for Watson's dismissal tonight.
DURING AN evaluation last October, some commissioners discussed Watson's job performance with him. There was to have been another evaluation of Watson in about six months, Commissioner Nancy Shontz said Sunday.
Gleason did not say whether he would wait until after the second evaluation to move for dismissal of Watson. But he did say, "When the evaluation comes, I will make motion for
Gleason said that no individual instance of Watson's not performing well on the job was very significant apart from all the other instances.
He said that one instance alone carried as little weight as a snowflake.
"But you wind up with a sufficient number of snowflakes you have enough to build a snow fort," Gleason said.

But, he said, monthly electrical bills may be only $10, the telephone, $7 and rent was usually less than $10. Such things as medical care and education are provided by the state.
Cuba
He said housing in Havana was at a premium. There is not always adequate space appropriate for the size of the family living in an apartment or house.
Woodyard said there was some free enterprise. He went to a square in old Havana where there was a farmer's market on the weekends. He said that although the plaza goods sold there was rather poor, the plaza jammed shoulder-to-shoulder with people.
ONE PLAY at the festival, he said, satirized the housing problem and the elaborate plans some people go through to change residences.
He said people who sold their own goods would often make more money than a salesman.
He also said the news from and about the United States was very slanted. The Cuban people were very wary about the possibility of an American invasion. He said there was a mobilization of people in the reserves last December but nothing happened.
Merit

"It will not hold up as it should in the first place
(with the 0.39 percent increase.)" O'Neill said,
The previous pay plan contained six steps which were fewer and farther apart than the steps in the current merit plan. But each of the previous steps represented a 5 percent increase.
"That would in essence be worse than the pay plan we had before this was instituted."
The alternate to raising the merit increase is to change the plan to reward only outstanding merit. An outstanding employee would receive a one-step pay increase, but employees evaluated as average or above average would not get raises.

he said Keightley got the job of campus director because he would be at KU through next year, while Gerstenberger would leave school this spring.
