One of Southern s Special employees Helping to keep Southern alive in 85 are many persons working behind the scenes. One such exam¬ ple is Gary Evans, supervisor of mechanical maintenance. If it weren ' t for us, there would be a lot of problems which wouldn ' t be prevented, ' ' said Evans, who started working for the College in 1977 after spending 20 years as an auto mechanic. We get about 50 or 60 preventative maintenance work orders each month in all areas, including electrical, plumb¬ ing, air conditioning, and heating work. ' ' As mechanical maintenance supervisor, Evans checks out work orders and then schedules the work to be completed. But I still have to get out there and do the work with the other men, ' ' he said. He cites his work at Southern as a continuous challenge, and he takes pride in doing his work pro¬ perly and efficiently. One reason I came to Missouri Southern was because I always en¬ joyed working with electricity, ' ' said Evans. It ' s always a challenge to do things right the first time because if you don ' t, you ' ll have to go back and do them again. ' He has seen the College ex¬ perience growth since his arrival eight years ago. This growth has af¬ fected his own work load. Since we ' ve acquired the new dorms and other new buildings on campus, our work load has become heavier, ' said Evans. However, a few years ago the College installed computers to regulate heating and air conditioning. They make things a lot easier for us since we used to use timers to regulate the heating and air conditioning. ' ' He has also faced some new challenges as a result of Southern ' s growth. One example is the in¬ stallation of a lighting system at Missouri Southern Television. We had to install about 15,000 feet of wire when the College added the TV station, ' said Evans. I had never done anything like that before. I never get bored because there ' s something new every day. ' ' Evans enjoys meeting Southern students and considers his ac¬ quaintances with students as im¬ portant to him personally. You kind of miss them when they graduate, but there ' s always more coming in ' he said. Gary Evans □
