"Babes in
BY BETTY WOODRUFF
Although they may be "Babes
in Boyland," -the first and only
women hired by the USC Mainten
ance department say the general
reaction is "lots of kidding."
Ross Robinson, a Carolina jun
ior, and Claudia Smith, a Clemson
student majoring in horticulture,
said they think their boss "didn't
know what to do with us at first
and gave us a lot of little 'extra'
things around to do.
"But now we mostly weed,
water the plants, clip ivy and do
other ground work. They don't ask
us to do anything really heavy."
Smith was the first girl to get
a job in the department and she
said she wanted it "because I'm a
horticulture major and I thought

Robinson said that their boss
had gotten a lot of feedback about
the two workers, and Smith added
that people always wanted to know
if they "are big women's libbers."
"We aren't really," she said,
"I'm learning a lot of stuff about
insecticides, plants, just a lot of
odd stuff that'll help me when I
get back to school and start work
ing."
They both agreed that "it's
hard work," but said that some
things were more difficult than
others.
"We're usually on our knees
crawling around in the bushes. We
have to wear jeans and gloves, be
cause this work really beats up
your hands and it takes hours to
get clean," they said.
The consensus was that poison
ivy was the worst thing that had
happened concerning the job. "We
had poison for two weeks," Smith
said. "We couldn't even work for a
couple of days and we still have it
all over our arms." Although the
women said that it did get hot
sometimes, they said that it wasn't
really all that bad.
"These are good people to work
for," Smith said, and Robinson
agreed that "everybody is real nice.
They don't hassle you. When we
come in (at 7:30 a.m.) they tell us
what needs to be done and give us
a ride to wherever it is. Then they
might check on us two or three
times to see if we've finished and
tell us what else to do."
Although Smith will work all
summer, Robinson will be quitting
"in about a week," she said, "to go
to summer school, maybe. But
this will leave my spot open. For
someone who's willing to do work,
and do it for nice people, this is a
real good job."

it would be good experience."
Robinson said she heard about the
job opening from a friend of hers
who told her the department was
looking for women to hire.
'When I applied, they had jobs
in three areas--clean-up, painting
and this one. I think they gave me
this one because they didn't want
me working alone with the men,"
she said.
Both women said that they get
a lot of reaction from their work.
"While we're worki.ng, people will
stop and ask what we're doing and
talk to us for a few minutes." she
said. "'People almost always take
second looks when they walk by
where we're working. Some people
will make smart remarks, but us
ually not anything really bad."
