Special Services crew sets up for KU events
It is Friday evening and after three days of students' standing in lines, seeking their advisers and paying tuition, fell enrollment is baked them.
At 3:46 p.m. Friday, the doors slam shut in muggy Allen Field House, marking the end of another fall enrollment. Then the 15 members of the Special Services crew of Facilities Operations begin the task of returning Hoch Auditorium, Wescoe Hall and Allen Field House to normal.
The crew works late into the night, tearing down more than 400 tables and 1,100 chairs, returning boxes and filing cabinets fitted with student records to various departments and returning typewriters and adding machines to the office of the comproller in Carruthro'o'Leary Hall. Special Services will use three-one-ton cargo trucks and a pickup truck for this job.
Pat Mills, supervisor of the Special Services crew, said the crew had to work until it "gets the job done." He said everything had to be done so the buildings would be ready for classes Monday morning.
"We make it look just like nothing ever happened." Mills said.
Although the Special Services crew does not begin removing equipment until a fire has been detected, they do
they still come in Friday morning at their regular time of 7:30. Mills said the crew usually was not finished with its task until after 10:30 p.m.
"It depends on the crew," Mills said. "If we've had a bad week it will take us some time to get back on."
In addition to its work for enrollment, Special Services sets up commencement and special events such as rock concerts, symphony orchestras and ballet companies. It is responsible for delivery of new office furniture and office supplies on campus, moving furniture and equipment in and between campus offices and campus trash disposal.
Mills said that it took about 150 man-hours to tear down after an enrollment, but that it took nearly 400 hours to set up for an enrollment. He the crew began setting up about a week before enrollment."
"Setting up takes more time because he can do it," Mills said. "It's a lot easier to learn."
Jacman Flagg, lead man on the Special Services crew, said he had told the crew to remember what they were doing when they set up for enrollment and to do just the opposite on Friday night after enrollment.
