It's all part of a new training course for the supervisors spon sored by the Civil Service Com mission. The program is being conducted by Dr. John Myers, head of the psychology depart ment at Willamette University. "As part of the discussion por tion of the course 124 workers in the supervisors' departments filled out questionnaires on their bosses. It as all done anonymous ly, of course. Previously, using the same questionnaires, the supervisors had graded themselves. These grades were a little higher than the grades handed out by the employes. Based on the questionnaires it would seem that many state em ployes lack a felling of "belong- ing to tne organization, inoi an seem to understand the goals and purposes outlined by their bosses, civil service officials said. A major criticism of employes is that their supervisors don't al ways keep them informed as to "what is going on." Few employes mentioned wages. And most ended up with kind thoughts about their bosses. Some labeled their supervisors as "tops" or a "swell fellow." One worker thought his. boss ought to do something about the air con ditioning in their office. Dr. Myers stressed that the questionnaires were for discus sion purposes only and could not be considered as a valid evalu ation of any one group of super visors. The answers were tabula ted in one general compilation and kept confidential Damage Suit Asks $4,145 More than $4,000 for injuries allegedly sustained in a recent Salem accident is sought in a suit filed Wednesday in Marion Coun ty Circuit Court Agnes Foreman is suing Char les R.
