Car manufacturer to begin hot lines to monitor defects
DEARBORN, Mich. (UP1)—Ford Motor Co. will establish hot line number lines in five cities as part of an effort to determine if any Ford cars and trucks have an automatic transmission defect which could cause the vehicles to slip into reverse while parked.
The company said yesterday that the toll-free number in operation Sept. 11 in Detroit, New York, and San Francisco. Ford car owners will have 30 days to report any problems with their vehicles.
Herbert L. Misch, Ford's vice president for environmental and safety engineering, said each call would be answered per call. If the complaint was conducted if the complaints appeared valid.

Panel delays decision on events scheduling
A decision on a proposal that would make it easier for students and organizations to schedule events on the University of Kansas campus was postponed until next week by the University Events Committee at its meeting yesterday.
Another proposal, which also was postponed, would establish new guidelines for the regulation of cell carcinoma.
Both proposals were tabled because of lack of time, but the committee did pass 18 routine requests, one allowing Sigma Phi to hold a house ceremony in Danforth Channel.
STUDENTS WANTING to schedule events on campus must appear before the admissions committee.
One reason committee members want to change some procedures is because of the fact that they have not been trained. Ann Ewensol, chairman of the committee and director of the office of student services, said:
"Hopefully, it will be more convenient to the students," she said.
The proposal would enable students to receive immediate approval in routine cases by applying for permission from the student activities office. Eversole said.
Under the terms of the proposal, the committee would be reorganized into three levels: the student activities office would handle routine requests and disperse information; the program committee, the second level, would deal with requests that require more expertise on facility regulations; and the third level would be the committee as a whole, which would review action taken by the other committee and revise the committee's guidelines.
THE COMMITTEE plans to discuss the proposal again at Wednesday's meeting.
proposed change in the guidelines concerning the distribution of literature on
A part of that proposal states, "Intermittent newspapers or periodicals printed on sold by students are permitted to be sold in the boxes provided for them by the
The only guidelines regarding the issue state that committee approval is needed to issue a contract.
Although the proposal has not been approved by the committee, two lock boxes have been constructed in front of the Kansas State University and the distribution of intermittent publications.
Frank Burge, director of the Kansas Union, said, "I thought it was the prudent and practical way to go in the interest of serving students."
In response to the policy change, the Lawrence-Douglas County Public Health Committee, acting as the board of directors for the local health department, wrote a memo to Gov. Robert F. Bennett Aug. 17 requesting payment for the increased work load.
to effect July 18, when the agreement was signed.
Mettler said he would meet with the department heads of the county health departments on Sept. 22. He said he hoped the inspection work load problem between SRS and the health department and the county health departments would be worked out by then.
Currently, 97 of the state's 105 counties have local health departments that would be included in this study.
Metzler said the budget process this year would be postponed to mid-November because of the election. The budget process normally begins in mid-October.
KANSAS HAS about 5,000 day-care homes and centers, and 70 are in Douglas County. A day-care home is an institution providing care for children under the care-center serves more than six children.
In addition to inspecting homes and centers applying for licenses, the health departments will have to inspect day-care centers(twice a year).
"This system has been working since 1919, so it might take a little time to work out the changes," he said. "For now, the inspection notice will remain the same."
Kay Kent, director of the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, said the nurse's nine current cases should whom inspect day-care facilities. She said the six nurses currently could devote only 3 hours a day to care.
Stan Byrne, chairman of the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Committee, said, "We needed financing for any additional duties put on him by his department with department is overloaded now, and we just wanted the governor to know that we would need help."
ON AUG. 23, Bennett responded to the committee's request with a letter acknowledging the need for increased aid to the community and departments to support the added work load.
METZLER SAID his staff was studying three methods for funding the health departments; federal funding, for which a state appropriation would be delivered; state appropriations, which would be delayed this year by the gubernatorial election; or a fee system by which the daycare centers licensed would be charged a help defray local health department costs.
"My staff," Mettler said, "has developed some proposals for paying the costs. But I had some questions about them, and they are back on the drawing board now."
Metzler told his staff had been working on methods of obtaining financial aid for the local health departments, but it could be late September before a source for the aid was found. He said two counties, Douglas Wyandotte, had requested additional aid.
Aid will be provided to all counties, though, when a plan is developed, he said.
