Former Technical Services Director Harry
Bous believes the accident forcing him to resign
was a conspiracy ordered by Student Life Director
Jerry Brewer.
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.
"I remember him (Daniels) saying under his

Bous said Student Life has been forcing ou
long-standing employees without the best inter
ests of the students in mind.

Bous said Student Life has attempted to fore

the department with a low rate of loyalty.

The only paperwork discovered on the money
was a memo written by Larry Zuleba, former
t RHUU director, to Dennis Pruitt, vice president
- of Student Affairs.
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. Tillman, former assistant director of
n K.nuu upcrauuiis, saiu uc nevci iciiicmucis
hearing that Daniels applied for his job.
t- "He (Daniels) was the associate director of
d programs there, so I guess he was just moved
d up. I don't remember any advertisement for the
job," Tillman said.
>f Other anonymous Student Life employees
y agree with Bous' statements about the admix
nistration forcing employees out of their jobs,
is "I care to not go on the. record, but I can tell
1- you Harry is very loyal, reliable and sincere in
what he says," an employee said.
