To make sure that the job gets done, the Building Service Workers have been divided into three shifts. Neil and Stephen on days, Gary and Jack on early evenings and Bob on the late, late shift, 11:30 p.m. to 7:30 a.m.

"He doesn't have time to watch Johnny Carson," says McCoy.

On top of these "regular duties", each service worker is charged with cleaning up outside the campus, lawn watering, driveway salting, sanding, shoveling and sweeping of sidewalks and clearing plugyed drains.

To describe the harried life of the BSW, McCoy points to the example of when the anthropology department brought in a museum display to

the campus.

Packed in 14 massive wooden cases, the display

of Native Indian foods took over one and a half hours to just unload fromthe truck.

This meant that none of the other duties could be done during that time," McCoy says. "No light- bulbs could be changed, no washrooms cleaned and no floors swept."

But there's more.

If the campus electrician needs help, he calls on the BSW's. If an instructor locks his keys in an office, often a BSW will be called to open the door. And if a classroom needs tables set in a particular fashion, again it is the BSW's work.

In fact, when the permanent campus first opened its doors in 1983, McCoy requested 16 people be put on staff.
