William Timmins, a national consultant con-sultant on government aclniinistration issues and a business consultant for such companies as Union Pacific and Trans World Airlines, says politicians too often take office believing they "have a mandate from God to change the world" and end up alienating employees who have been around for years. Those old-timers, on the other hand, too often sabotage elected officials' of-ficials' honest efforts at change and improvement, he says. Both parties could benefit by trying to see things from the other's perspective, says Timmins. Elected and appointed officials, for example, sometimes have a distorted perspective and would do well to tone down their idealism. "Too many of these people come in literally feeling like they've now been knighted. They come in thinking they have some kind of divine sanction sanc-tion to change the world," Timmins says. Hi-.

Even though the Corps of Engineers helped and funding is no longer available, Utah County is still working on finding a solution for increasing in-creasing the flow out of the Utah Lake through the Jordan River. Utah County intends to work closely with Salt Lake County to find solutions to all of the problems which might prevent preparing the Jordan River for effective transportation transpor-tation of water from Utah Lake. Utah County intends to proceed with surveying and land purchase along the banks of the Jordan River to provide access for construction and maintenance of the river chan- ' nel. Because the spring floods of 1984 will be over before any solution to the Jordan River can be implemented, implemen-ted, Utah Lake is still expected to rise to an elevation of 4496 feet above sea level (approximately 6.7 feet above compromise). Property owners around Utah Lake should complete preparations to protect their property for the 1984 flood peak. Flood insurance is a must for owners in affected areas.

KEITH RIGBY Kiwanis Hear China Report Dr. Keith Rigby, professor of Geology at Brigham Young University, Universi-ty, was the speaker for Orem Kiwanis Club on Monday, Jan. 30. Dr. Rigby was a visiting scientist to the Republic of China during the past year and as such was given an extensive tour of the oil resources of that country. The Republic also provided pro-vided a tour of new housing in various parts of the country. , Dr. Rigby was able to see much heavy equipment in operation but observed that manual labor is still the primary way of getting things accomplished. ac-complished.

I'm going go-ing to go out and visit everybody, talk to everybody, read the back records, find out why we're doing it this way. It might actually make sense." . Career public employees, on the other hand, ought to try harder to see things from the policymakers' point of view, Timmins says. A vehicle for increasing understanding could be fellowships for careerists, he suggests. The White House fellowships, for example, might be extended to allow a manager in the Department of Education or a Justice Department researcher to spend a year at the White House (or the state capitol on the state level) and help make policy, then return to their career jobs in the bureaucracy. "Once they get in the role of being be-ing the policymakers and initiators, it changes the whole view they have of the world," he says. "Their value system is altered. Politicians then would have a group of people they could count on to understand, if not agree with, policy decision. I w$ ''40w -ife- 'V . , J.
