Director holds tough position (Continued from Page 1) the buildings and cottages go up and still our pay is miserably low and we don't get proper payment for overtime and holidays." Bob P. Steiling, Executive Director of the Idaho State Employees Association, said the ISSH administration "is balancing its budget with people." Christensen admits he would like to do more to improve conditions for the employes.

He said he hoped starting salaries for employes could eventually be raised'to $400 per month. "We can hardly keep people at $323 a month." But he noted that the budget is so tight that he had to cut back on personnel in order to pay lor the increase in the minimum wage rate from $1.45 to $1.60. Asked what improvements in personnel practices have been made, Christensen cited the "unit staffing" on each ward "to get direct employe input. "Where we have direct contact with employes, they are fairly supportive," he said. But Christensen said there is another group of employes who haven't even talked with the administration.

"We don't even know who they are," he said. Christensen said his administration is trying to move patient care toward "an individual normalcy with parent figure supervision" approach and also to reduce the staff-patient ratio. He said both aims would improve the employes' condition. Asked what problems the administration has, Christensen said, "If anything, we are just trying to get more residents and staff members interested in the programs." Christensen said he would agree to an investigation of personnel practices at the ISSH. He said he hoped the three cottages closed last week would be reopened.

But he said, "We were in the spot of either closing them or delaying and running the risk it would cost us more money in the end," The Health Department advised Christensen last week to close three cottages because of the pending wage suit. The plaintiffs are reluctant to discuss the specifics ol their complaints against the administration before the case reaches federal court. They fear "administrative reprisals." Christensen believes the current problems could have been averted if the plaintiffs had been willing to meet with him first to discuss grievances. The plaintiffs say they were afraid to because of past administrative practices. They say their only recourse is with the courts and an investigation of the personnel practices at the Idaho State School and Hospital.
