Date Gadd last week said he would relinquish the security of a tenured position at the University of Kansas for a chance at Hollywood success.
FORGE A great way of life.
Gadd, associate professor of journalism, said he would leave KU after the 1983-84 school year to write scripts for television.
He said he had been writing scripts in his spare time for years, and was chasing a dream many people shared, but few pursued.
"Everybody in LA and his brother in Cincinnati and sister in Dallas has scripts he would like to sell," Gadd said.
HE SAID HE first thought breaking into the film business would be easy, after he almost sold ABC-TV a series idea he had written.
The decision to change careers was not easy, he said. While other Hollywood hopefuls are sitting back to watch Gadd take his shot at fame and fortune, Gadd said he was scared to death.
"But that was several years ago and I still haven't sold a thing." Gadd said.
He said he did not like Los Angeles because it was too big and the cost of living there was too high.
"I don't like guys in purple long underwear on rollers," he said. "I wear a skirt now, but he was now wearing it."
that he could enter Hollywood's usually closed doors.
Gadd, who teaches a script-writing class, said there were many people who had broken into the film business who could not write well. He said he thought his experience as a teacher would be an advantage.
Television audiences are accustomed to quick, easy plots, but cable television has created a demand for more programming, be said. As competition among stations stiffens, he said, there is greater need for new material.
better, better, better
Better television programs are coming back because people are getting tired of all the fluff, Gadd said.
GADD SAID the many Kansans in Hollywood were nicknamed "Wheat-backs"
"The '80s are going to be unbelievable in Hollywood," he said.
Gadd sald he would soon send a formal letter of resignation to the School of Journalism.
Del Brinkman, dean of the School of Journalism, said he had not received formal notification of Gadd's resignation, but said he knew Gadd had been thinking about a career change.
Gadd said he had considered moving to Los Angeles several times in the past. He told journalism officials about the possibility of his move about three weeks before Chancellor Gene A. Budg announced that the University had postponed indefinitely the construction of a new broadcast building.
New FDA rule requires tamper-proof packaging
When a new Food and Drug Administration regulation goes into effect Feb. 7, it will be harder and more expensive to get aspirin out of the bottle.
By SUSAN STANLEY Staff Reporter
The regulation will require all manufacturers of over-the-counter drugs to use tamper-resistant packaging, Jail Hawley, community affairs officer for the FDA in Kansas City, said last week.
"The packages will be harder to get into, but safety will be insured," Hewley said. "You are buying security and insurance now."
She said the new packaging would increase costs to the consumer from 5 to 20 cents a package.
O. Newton King, owner of King Pharmacy, 1112 W. Sixth St., said that protective packages were beginning to appear in area stores.
Hewgley said that she doubled that the move was a temporary reaction to the seven deaths last September of the man who took cyanide-laced Tylene capsules.
ANN WYATT, spokesman for Bristol-Meyers, said that the new Excedrin package costs about 5 cents a package more to produce, but that the cost was not being passed on to the consumer.
"The question now is whether the packaging makes it harder for people with arthritis and handicaps to get into the packages," she said.
Tylenol manufacturers said in a brochure that the estimated 2-cent added cost of the new packaging would not be passed on to the consumer.
SOME NON-PRESCRIPTION drugs, such as skin ointments, toothpaste and insulin, will not be subject to the regulation. Hewgley said. Also not subject are drugs used for dental care, over-the-counter drugs, vaginal products and suppositories.
The standard will require producers to use one of 11 methods to deter tampering. A warning must be printed on the packaging of products consumed to any signs of tampering.
The regulation recommends that manufacturers make the seals from materials not readily available on them, so tampering cannot be easily disguised.
The FDA suggests that manufacturers use film wrappers and packs that would encase individual doses, foil wrappers around the entire container or over the mouths of bottles, and seals over carton flaps.
The FDA said, however, that making the packages completely tamper-proof was impossible.
