Earlier Tuesday, the State De partment of Personnel Services slap ped 10-day suspensions on 1,500 striking workers for failing to comply favor of the volunteer cleanup plan came after a 2 1 /2-hour emergency meeting of the board attended by more than 500 parents. Last week, the board voted down the cleanup plan, also in an emergency meeting. The three dissenters expressed concern for unanswered questions of the safety of the parent volunteers and the students who would be cros sing picket lines, and criticized Gov. George Ariyoshi for not taking initia tive in the problem. said, “If we open the schools, we will be placing the children in an en vironment of anxiety and tension, with no assurances of safety or even if the schools might have to be closed again.” The school board also said that for those students whose schools could not be opened immediately, alterna tive educational opportunities would be provided. Personnel Department Director Don Botelho said the suspensions and directors of state agencies affected would determine the speci fic dates of the suspensions.

The prison chapter, founded in 1965, includes 62 inmates and four guards at the 1,300-man facility. The traditional Jaycee age limit of 35 has been waived, and the Old Town chapter has one member in his late 60s. John Bush, a convicted burglar who serves as chapter president, said Jaycee involvement keeps him from becoming bored. “I get up every day at 6 o’clock and am going all day,” Bush said. “When they turn out the lights at 11 at night I m still at my typewriter. Through Jaycees you learn management. communication, decision-making, and many other things. Through ap plying these principles, a man can build himself a new life.” Bush, who is serving a 17-year sentence, stressed the importance of Jaycee leadership training seminars on communication and manage ment. The program seems to be working, because prison officials say Jaycee members are generally the most well-adjusted and best- behaved inmates. Davis and Bush were critical of prison administrators, claiming the administration does not cooperate with them in planning projects and special events and petty harassment makes their difficult task of running the $15,000-a-year organization even harder.
