LSAC adopts 'truth in testing'
University of Kansas students taking the Law School Admissions Test tomorrow will be the first KU students affected by the bill requiring "test billing" coded in New York.
The New York bill took effect Jan. 1, and college teaching services to a file of eagles will be added to the State Department of Education and to provide a graded answer sheet to any answer questions.
Although the bill affects only the state of New York, the Law School Admissions Council (LSAC) of which the KJI law commission is a member, it ceded to comply through the country.
Lilian Six, law school admissions director, said the law would require many changes in the testing procedures.
Changes already begun by LSAC include cutting the number of tests from 32 to 16 and providing special individual test dates. Previously, a student could pay $100 and receive a computer lab credit.
LSAC attaches the test cancellations LSAC has built into the software in truth testing pill. The publication of test answers requires the service to produce more tests at a cost of $125,000.
County offers no rest home aid
By BENJAMIN JONES
Staff Reporter
A Douglas County county nursing home has serious deficiencies, an administrator of the home says, but County Commissioner James Schoenfeld isisting building may be used "infidelely".
The administrator of the county's Valley View Care Home, Kathy Smith, said that the county had been supportive of Valley View, planning plans for renovating or moving the home.
Smith said the county provided a subsidy of more than $30,000 a year that sojourns of the nursing home could afford to live in. The county also paid residents'—more than 75 percent—was paid
"We've been operating in the same building and serving the same number of people for the past 18 years," Smith said. "We've provided the needs of nursing care indefinitely."
by residents' Medicaid and Social Security
Smith said that utility costs for the Valley View building were about $23,000 last year and that maintenance and repair costs were about $1,000 a month. She said she hoped to save $10,000 or $10,000 at improvement of the home, if the budget would allow for that.
BUT VALLEY VIEW cannot be remodeled to meet state specifications because of structural problems, she said. State regulations require Valley View to be built so that workers come into effect since it was built if any part of the home was remodeled, she said.
She said one reason the county commission gave for not remodeling Valley View was that state regulations were changing constantly.
Valley View opened in 1961, two years before Medicare and Medicaid came into existence with a new set of structural regulations for nursing homes. She said that nurses had to not change hands, it could operate under building specifications set before 1963.
Bradley agreed, but said it would be impossible to bring Valley View into complete conformity with regulations, even if the state regulations remained constant. She said that the rooms in the home were six bedrooms and two bathrooms; the brick walls would be impossible to move.
SMITH SAID the home had no bathrooms in the patients' rooms, no electrical outlets and generally "just not enough snail."
"The rooms are small," she said. "If they were any smaller, we'd have to close our doors."
"But I've talked to the state people, and they've assured me we're in no danger of being shut down."
Smith also said the home was not able to handle all the requests for rooms. She said that the capacity was 61 persons and that there was a waiting list of close to 40.
"We had one bed open last spring, but it was in a four-bed room and the people on the waiting list all wanted private or semi-
private rooms," she said. "But that's the only time in the three years I've been here that we've had a bed we've been unable to fill."
County commissioners recently had discussed a purchase of Wakarusa Manor, a privately nursing home in Lawrence which has been up for sale for 10 months. John Jobsholl, D.Lawrence, has said Wakarusa Manor together with one-fourth of its unoccupied beds.
BUT BRADLEY said, "Wakarus probably is not something we want to buy."
The building has no basement where the residents could go in the event of a tornado, she said.

Bradley said Wakarusa also was energy inefficient, because it had a metal-frame and single-panel glass windows.
Bradley said the county probably would not make an architectural study of Wakarusa.
Smith said it would cost about $3,000 for an architecture to make a teach-on an evaluation of Wakaraus and to produce an estimate of the regulations modeling it to meet present regulations.
