HULSEY DIRECTOR SUPERINTENDENT OF SANITATION ORMAN A . POWER RICHARD W. RESPESS AS S T . SUPERI N TENDENT OF SANITATION DEPUTY DIRECTOR Mr. David Whelan Atlanta Urban Corps 30 Courtland St., N. E. Atlanta, Ga. 30303 Dear Mr. Whelan: Upon your request, I have submitted a critique of the activities of interns of the Atlanta Urban Corps: The Sanitary Division employed 14 interns for various duties during the summer months of 1969. Their functions ranged from administrative work, to time and motion studies, cost analysis, public relations, and general survey of garbage and rubbish collection. Their purpose was to do research into almost every aspect of the Division's operations and report the relative efficiency of each and report any new concepts they deemed relevant'~ Each intern, within minor limitations, was allowed to work on his project q u ite freely, with little hindrance or interference from any supervisory personnel. Although much of the 'WOrk is still in process, we are able to draw some conclusions and assessments at this time. On the whole, the interns have done acceptable work which is generally of above-average quality. There have been no major problems during the course of the surnmer's operations and, generally, the Sanitary Division feels that this program is of considerable value to both the student and the department. As an e x ~le o f our hi g h re9 ard f o r the Cor p s* Mr. R. E. Hulsey has authorize me to hire, i f poss i ble, s e veral interns to continue into the fall on a full-time basis. As far as the operation of the Urban Corps itself is concerned, I feel that the operation was basically efficient. Although there were some minor problems with getting the program under way, these are to be expected in the first year of such a large operation. All in all, the San itar Division h a s ben fited f r om the ram and we feel that t e students ha a r e al e x p e rience so far as the 11 service - lea:cning 11 concept is concerned. Very truly yo u rs , r~~ JHE/ gb S a n itary Divis ion . ATLANTA TUE D OG WOOD CIT Y �
