Mrs. Becker said she would await her termination letter, as promised by Hanson, at her home this week while she took an already planned vacation. "THEY CONSIDER coffee-making part of my job and I do not," she said. "If it would have anything to do with my work, I'd do it. It's not what I was trained for and it's so far away from my secretarial work that it's absurd." secretary says she is not a waitress, so her adamant refusal to make coffee for her bosses and coworkers may have cost her the job she had held for 10 years.

The Waterloo Community School District's personnel director, Dr. Donald E. Hanson, contends that making coffee is part of the job. He told Mrs. Becker, 28, Thursday that if she did not make the coffee Friday taking her turn with three dozen women employes she would be fired.

The purchasing department secretary said she studied typing and shorthand in secretarial courses and said the instructors did not toss in lessons on how to brew coffee. "IF I'D WANTED to do this type of thing, I would have applied for work at a restaurant. I can't be a secretary and be a waitress," she said. She said she is being used as an example by school officials in the handling of the situation which is grievable under the state's public employe collective bargaining law. "I feel like that runaway slave from Roots.

However, the CalTech researchers say swarms THERE IS evidence of curious contortions of the earth, a rapid-fire series of small quakes and a puzzling cracking of highways near the fault. Scientists who monitor the network of fissures in the earth's crust called the San Andreas Fault emphasize they do not know what the unusual geological turbulence means.

They stress there is no definite evidence it signals the approach of a big quake. But at least some of them say privately they are concerned the unusual activity might presage a substantial earthquake. LAND ON opposite sides of the fault is drifting slowly in opposite directions with land on the eastern side moving south-southeast, and land on the western side, north-northwest.
