Emergencies alter routine for live-in student orderly
Watkins Memorial Hospital employs three people as part-time hospital orderlies. Two of them lead lives roughly similar to that of many University of Kansas students. They attend class, go to work and go home to study, relax and sleep.
For Greg Mailen, Clay Center junior, the hospital and home are the same. Mailen lives in the hospital. He's the only person who is generally in residence 24 hours a day.
Mailen originally began his duties with the hospital as a custodian in the old hospital building, now Twente Hall. When the hospital moved to its new building earlier this year, he became the first live-in orderly.
Mailen explained his responsibilities:
"I'm here in case of any emergency. I work with the nursing staff at night and with any patients who may come in. I do a lot of
nurses' aide type of work. When physical time comes along in the fall, I'm in charge of that. And I'm kind of in charge of security."
Mailen described his room as similar to a patient's room in size with a bath attached, just big enough for him and his personal belongings.
Maleen said he generally enjoyed his work and the Watkins Hospital staff in particular.
"I used to live in a scholarship hall at Kansas State. Here it's kind of a private existence. But you get used to it after a while."
"Here at the hospital people will bend over backward to help the student. These doctors don't care about making the kind of money they could make in private practice. They care about healing people," Mailen said.

Recent University of Kansas graduates won't have to wait 10 months to find out what opportunities are available.
Mini-reunion planned for recent KUgraduates
The idea of a mini-reunion was designed to get new alumni on campus and is a departure from traditional 10-year reunions. The reunion will be Sept. 28, the day of the KU-Florida State football game, and will feature a post-game party with a live band and beer at the Kansas Union Ballroom.
Steve Clark, assistant director of the Alumni Association, said yesterday that most recent graduates didn't attend alumni meetings and contributed a stuffy affair with many older alumni.
Because the past four graduating classes comprise 12 per cent of the total alumnials, officials of the Alumni Association said they thought it was important to design an event that would be economical and appealing to recent graduates.
The KU Alumun Association will sponsor a
a-mission-sept. 28 for 1970, 71, 72 and 73
members.
Graduating classes are getting very,
very large and we have a need for
them.
alumni population." Clark said.
The post-game party will cost $2.50 a person.
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes will make a brief appearance at the party to officially welcome the new alumnum back on behalf of the KU Athletic Association and the KU Athletic Association at the event.
Alumni from the four classes will be offered a $2 discount on tickets to the game.

According to Clark, almost 500 alumni are expected to attend the event.
A total of 189 alumni have registered and paid reservation fees for the reunion. Clark said he expected a large number of reservations to come in just before Sept. 28.
