Skin Irritations Provoke Study Of Bubble Bath
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Federal Trade Commission has launched a nationwide investigation of bubble bath in response to persistent water quality concerns among children.
The Trade Commission investigation, began earlier this month, is a renewal of concern over a problem originally tackled by the Commission. Administration (FDA) three years ago.
The FDA said then that the major producers of children's bubble baths had agreed to reformulate their products to use less detergent.
But an FDA official said Thursday that the action did not diminish the number of complaints to the agency concerning rashes and urinary tract infections among small children.
Heinz Eiermann, director of the FDA's division of cosmetics, said that of the 1,822 cosmetic reaction complaints received in July there had been 85 involving bubble baths.
Although the number is relatively small, federal officials said, the complaints represent only a slight fraction of all the irritation cases.
Part of the problem, according to FDA officials, may be that as manufacturers reduce the sudsing ingredients in the bubble bath, there will be more bubble bath to get plenty of bubbles.

Tenure Reports Go to SenEx
Committees Endorse Bulk of Present System
By ERIC MEYER
Korean Staff Reporter
The Faculty Senate Committee on Faculty Rights, Privileges and Responsibilities (FRPR) Friday issued a generally positive report on cases of misrepresents received by FRPR. Sept. 4.
"We don't feel that we should attempt to draw the four reports together into a unified set of specific recommendations at this time," he said. "We are a professor of psychology, said in the report to James Seaver, chairman of the Committee (SenEx) and professor history.
Kiesler said the four reports had rejected all alternatives to tenure and had endorsed it.
"We feel that the four subcommittees (and Tony Genova, who played a major role in coordination) did an exceptional job," Kiesler wrote. "However, in relaying these reports to you, we do wish to stress several themes running through the reports."
"We (members of FRPR) add our endorsement to that principle," he said. "However, when the University Committee on Promotion and Tenure (UCPT) has approved a new faculty member consistently endorsed by all lower units, UCPT should be required to invite an appropriate departmental representative or dean, if there is no department involved, to appear in person before UCPT to discuss the case prior to final determination by the Board.
FRPR ALSO FAVORED the present seven-year probationary period, Klesier said. The Committee on the Impact of Public Funding has extended lengthening, the period to nine years.
"The reports," Kiesler wrote, "document the fact that much of the discussion of the 'tenure crisis' has exaggerated the reality that tenure will soon become completely tenured."
Kiesler said the present system needed "more fine tuning that it does an overhaul." "Fine tuning," he said, includes the reduction of administrative errors which leads to grants of tenure without serious review of candidates.
FRPR supported the committees in rejecting the enquiries quotas, Kiesler said.
Several committees had recommended early retirement plans. Kiesler said FRPR would favor early retirement if it was a matter of choice for individual faculty members and if it did not result in financial loss to any faculty member.
Kiesler said FRRP suggested that teaching and scholarship would continue to
be the critical determinants in awarding tenure.
FRPR GENERALLY supported the concept of granting special contract appointments outside the tenure track for faculty and students who involve involvement in teaching and scholarship.
The tenure committees suggested a periodic review of tenured faculty mem-
"A combination of review and development could aid individual faculty to reach their professional goals and generally work in a team environment," University and the faculty," Krusel said.
Several committee reports implicitly suggested raising the standards for awarding tenure, Kiesler wrote. He said the university could tighten its requirements further without danger of losing potentially distinguished faculty members.
KIESLER SAID FBRP strongly endorsed mandatory evaluation by students as a part of the assessment of teaching performance when promotion or tenure decisions were made.

individual attention to students to ensure that their particular needs were met.
"Oftinten't the American Indian student gets his degree without learning the skills of how to meet with life," Justiz said. "Title III will provide a learning process to teach them how to manage a crisis, cope with their environment and make decisions."
The program also will provide for assistance in reading, writing, study and social skills through a tutorial program, Wallace Galluzzi, superintendent of
"The third phase of the program involves examination and possible revision of our present curriculum structure so that it can be used as a resource of the American Indian," Galluzi said.

Kiesler said FFPR hadn't made a full report because "a suitable time lag appropriate for open faculty discussion is required" and yet a fifth report for the faculty to digest.
FRPR agreed with the committee definition of "adequate cause" for removal of tenured faculty members, Kiesler wrote. The committees had defined it as demonstrable and willful deference; substantial, manifest and wilful neglect of duty; or grave misconduct.
