     peared in the Personnel 
     
     Board hirings? The Personnel 
     
     Board has not received a 
     
     single complaint from either 
     
     the Chief, Assistant Chief, 
     
     or Comptroller concerning any 
     
     of the people we have hired. 
     
     The four students mentioned 
     
     in the article that were 
     
     not hired, although they had 
     
     some previous experience, 
     
     were not hired by the Board 
     
     for a variety of reasons. 
     
     Decisions of the Board hap- 
     
     pen to be confidential and 
     
    
   
   
    
     if  was not so, I would 
     
     explain why these certain 
     
    
   
   
    
     people were not hired. 
     
     I would‘simply like to 
     
     say that we feel the 
     
     force we hired are the 
     
     best of the applicants 
     
     that applied. 
     
    

    
     This article of Oct. 
     
     7,1977, went on to say 
     
     that one of the people 
     
     we hired was On proba- 
     
     tion in residence and 
     
     that another had trou- 
     
     ble with the Narcotics

     Control Act. I think that 
     
     uhoever wrote this article 
     
     could have at least been 
     
     responsible enough to Sign 
     
     it so people could ask if 
     
     he /or she always wrote 
     
     whatever rumors happened 
     
     to be floating around cam— 
     
     pus. 
     
    

    
     Now to clear up the "con- 
     
     flict of interest" concern- 
     
     ing certain" members of the 
     
     PersonnelBoard being hired 
     
     as campus police. Due to 
     
     my previous experience on 
     
     the force I was hired as 
     
     a Senior member of the 
     
     Campus Police last sprin . 
     
     My position on % Person~ 
     
     nel Board was applied for, 
     
     approved, and accepted this 
     
     fall. I don't see how this 
     
     could be termed as ‘ "the 
     
     Board favoring its own 
     
     members." 
     
    

    
     Clearing up another ass- 
     
     umption: many of the app- 
     
     icants had used Campus 
     
     Police Chief, Gorden Coffin, 
     
     as a reference. However, 
     
     Mr. Coffin was contacted 
     
     about the hirings. Unfort— 
     
     unately he was. working and 
     
     could not attend the in— 
     
     terviews. 
     
    

    
     In closing, I would like 
     
    
   
   
    
     S  
     
    
   
   
    
     to say that the present 
     
     Personnel Board is the 
     
     best one we have had in 
     
     numerous‘years. 
     
    

    
     If people feel they can 
     
     do a better job they are 
     
     welccme to try. Positions 
     
     will be open next spring. 
     
    

    
     Let's hope that con— 
     
     cerned and responsible 
     
     people apply.

     Dear' Editor 
     
    
   
   
    
     I am writing with 
     
     regard to the recent 
     
     editorial (re: Personnel 
     
     Board) which mistakenly 
     
     was classed as a piece of 
     
     responsible journalism. 
     
     Surprisingly, this sur— 
     
    
   
   
    
     . passed an earlier article 
     
    
   
   
    
     on the selection of Pres- 
     
     idential candidates in 
     
     sheer ignorance. I fully 
     
     realize the value of 
     
     controversy in a student 
     
     newspaper, but this 
     
     malicious sacrifice of all 
     
     standards of journalism is 
     
     totally irresponsible, 
     
     I am,
