Custodian
"I just wish we would have had some hamburgers or marshmallows to roast," he said.
Johnson is quick to pause from his duties to tell a joke or share a story, but he takes pride in his work.
When Johnson's not working at Anschutz he can often be found fishing for crappie off the marina at Clinton Lake. After work he likes to take in a classic Western movie while enjoying a six-ounce glass of dry, red wine.
Greg Albrecht, circulation supervisor of Anschutz Library, has worked with Johnson for nearly two years and said that he has an amazing work ethic and that he genuinely cares about his duties. It is Johnson's thoughtfulness, however, that makes him such a great person to work with, he said.
"I like the stuff that makes you spit dust and tumbleweeds when you're finished," he said.
Albrecht recalled one night
Johnson accidentally threw a student's pair of reading glasses that were hidden by newspapers in the trash. Later that night Johnson went inside the dumpster outside of Anschutz and went through every trash bag until he finally found the glasses.

The Naismith residential lease agreement states that "the consumption of alcohol is not permitted in the common areas of the property."
The lease agreement also says written warnings, fines or eviction from the premises can result from violations of this rule.
“Our alcohol policy has not changed,” said Wendy Sylvester.
Lauren Hendrix, Wichita junior, lived in Naismith during the 2003-2004 school year. She said if alcohol was seen, it was taken away and a verbal warning was given out. She didn't recall having any mandatory meetings, like the one last week, while she lived there.

LAW
Patriot Act under review

WASHINGTON — The House on Wednesday agreed to extend the USA Patriot Act for a month while conservative Republicans and the White House work out changes intended to protect people from government intrusion.
The Senate was expected to follow before the law expires on Friday.
Just before leaving for Christmas, Congress extended the law until Feb. 3. Senate Democrats and four Republicans had blocked a final vote on a measure that would have made permanent most expiring provisions. The Republicans were concerned about excessive police powers.
"It is imperative that we not play political games with the tools that our law enforcement needs to prevent another terrorist attack," said the chairman of the House
judiciary Committee, Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis.
At issue are 16 provisions that Congress wanted reviewed and renewed by the end of last year.
Objections centered on the degree to which people and institutions that receive National Security Letters — secret requests for phone, business and Internet records — can appeal them in court.
House Democrats said they did not want the act to expire but are pressing for civil rights protections before renewing it permanently.
Originally passed five weeks after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the act was due to expire Dec. 31.
President Bush in his State of the Union speech Tuesday called on Congress to renew the expiring 16 provisions.
"We must extend it, mend it, but not end it," said Rep. Jane Harmon, top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee:
COMMUNICATION
Western Union puts 'stop' to telegrams
P. SOLOMON BANDA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — For more than 150 years, messages of joy, sorrow and success came in signature yellow envelopes hand delivered by a courier. Now the Western Union telegram is officially a thing of the past.
The company formed in April 1856 to exploit the hot technology of the telegraph to send cross-country messages in less than a day. The final telegram was delivered on Friday. Telegrams reached their peak popularity in the 1920s and 1930s when it was cheaper to send a telegram than to place a long distance telephone call. People would save money by using the word "stop" instead of periods to end sentences. Punctuation was extra while "stop" was free.
Samuel Morse, inventor of the Morse Code, sent the first telegram from Washington to Baltimore on May 26, 1844, to his partner Alfred Vail to usher in the telegram era that displaced the Pony Express. It read "WHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT?"
