Clancy Davidson, foundry worker Clancy Davidson, an environmental life science major from Pittsburg, works the 3:30 p.m. to 12:00 a.rn. shift at the McNally Pittsburg Man- ufacturing Corporation. Davidson, a junior, carries a 10 hour class load. He began college in San Angelo, Texas but dropped out after a couple of semesters to work for the railroad. I transfered to Girard as a signal maintainer in 1971. I worked for them 5 years. Davidson began working at McNally's in Sep- tember, 1976. Pm working there so I can eatg it doesn't have anything to do with my major. We design and build equipment for major in- dustry - that's what our letterhead says. I do heavy molding frnake castingsl. We've got a quota for a number of molds to turn out every night. My shift is also responsible for cleanup. That means we never get out of there before 12:30. Davidson says his job can be pretty dangerous since he works around heavy machinery and molten metals. But nothing has happened to me yet. It's not luck either. I'd like to think it's because I watch what I do. Working at McNa1ly's is definitely just a stop- ping off place for Davidson. 'Tm a white water canoeist. The reason I got interested in environ- mental life science is because of all the muck and crap in some of the creeks I've been down. Something really needs to be done about the environment everywhere -- not just in Kan- sas. And Davidson's dream: To be able to play in my canoe in the Snake River -- and maybe even make National Geographic Magazine.
