Reporter's Notebook

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Last week's story in this space, drawn exclusively from the films of a recently completed three-part series on the University Health Services, appears to have rankled some nerves at UHS.

The notebook included as items about how Mary Kocyk, the assistant to UHS Director Dr. David & Rosenthal '59, week back on a promise to reporters to allow unlimited access to doctors. As she was telling a reporter he year free to call UHS doctors, Kocyk arranged to have an electronic mail memo sent throughout the health service instructing personnel not to speak with. The Crimson, Some secretaries refused to take messages from reporters.

The bischout backfired on UHS, he disgruntled staffers, learning from the memo that. The Crimson was writing about the health services, began calling reporters. But a conversation this week between a reporter and UHS Coordinator of Human Resources Karen Fischer shows the bischout has not yet been lifted in some areas of UHS.

Six former and current employees in the clinical laboratory of UHS independently told. The Crimson last month that Fischer had worked as soothe tensions between management and union workers in the lab.

But Fischer, asked this week what measures she had undertaken to improve management-worker relations, reserred the reporter to Rosenthal, insisting that Rosenthal knew more about her activities that she did.

That, in conjunction with last week's reporter's notebook, appears to have prompted a cell this week from Kocyk to the Crimson, Kocyk asked to speak with the secretary to President Irs E. Stoll, Stoll, unlike practically every administrator at UHS has no secretary.

Stoll and Rosenthal will meet later this month to discuss the situation.
