11. Mr. Howard mentioned a Mr. K.G. Jones, recruited by TETOC
"a bag as a Principal Lecturer in 1973 who was a complete failure of nerves", "plays up the staff" "no administrative capacity" "arrives late for meetings". Mr. Howard showed me the interview report from which it was apparent that Mr. Jones was one of those people who show up well before a panel but who cannot be ruabled in a three quarter hour discussion.
(5) Languages Department Mr. K.E. Collins
12. This department had already expanded from four to 26 staff and the 1977 target was 50. Three or four new teachers were now required, and Mr. Collins insisted that he did not want married men because the inadequate salary scale caused too many problems. Single persons could just get by. Mr. Collins also mentioned that all the teaching of the department, which was mainly remedial, was- practical, to improve speaking and comprehension.
