Bous was ordered to fix the WUSC-FM transmitter which sits atop Columbia Hall July 17. When Bous went up the steps to the transmitter, he noticed oil on the steps. "There was oil everywhere. It was on the steps and even on the handrails. I could tell it was some sort of set-up," Bous said. "I have never seen spilled oil up there in my 15 years of service." While working on the transmitter, Bous slipped and, although he was not hurt, he "got the hint to get out." Bous said he was asked to resign for the past year, but refused different attempts by Russell House University Union director Eddie Daniels Jr. and Brewer. "It's interesting in that Eddie tried to talk me into resigning again the day before the accident He said, 'It's time you leave, Harry,' and I told him I wasn't going to," Bous said.

The memo says Zuleba was, "astonished to find the Technical Services account debited for $34,430.39." Zuleba also said the transfer could not have occurred at a worse time. "Several major purchases of needed inventory were to be purchased this fiscal year out of carry-over funds," he ' said. Bous' resignation isn't the only mysterious one in Student Life. Zuleba resigned from his post last year and was replaced by Daniels, who, according to k Bous, didn't go through due process to acquire n his new job. 5t According to fellow workers, Zuleba was un> popular with Brewer and other Student Affairs officials. e T.W.
