Phil Rankin, chairman of the committee and assistant director of personnel services, said yesterday that the committee added information to its Safety Procedures Manual because of serious injuries that resulted when classified employees
A committee bulletin said that 21 accidents occurred last winter and that someone was seriously injured in more than half of them.

"We wanted everyone to be aware of these procedures before the snow and ice set in," he said. "We hope this will cut down on the number of accidents.
The recommendations are addressed to classified employees, he said, but will help everyone.
The addition to the manual is titled "Walking Safety and Recommended Footwear."
The committee makes recommendations to improve situations for classified employees after looking at accident reports. Rankin said.
Students and employees should use available handrails when walking on steps and avoid carrying objects that block their vision.
He said the statistics were taken from accident reports of classified employees and did not include accidents of employees or students who were not classified.

"People should be aware of weather conditions and make an additional effort to avoid slippery areas and be cautious."
The bulletin said that maintenance workers tried to clean the sidewalks, steps and drives as quickly as possible but they could not clear everything at the same time.
The committee recommends that employees wear appropriate clothes

THE
WINNER LEADING EDGE MODEL "D"
PC Magazine—Oct.,1985
"PC EDITOR'S CHOICE—Among the bargain-priced PC-compatibles tested, Leading Edge Model D is the clear winner. That's not surprising—it's the newest machine tested and was designed around lessons that were learned from some of the others. It combines all the features that you could possibly want as standard equipment with a price that you'd expect to pay for a stripped IBM machine."
Consumer's Report-Oct.,1985
"THE BEST BUY among the IBM compatibles is the Leading Edge Model D. It comes with a high-resolution monitor and the circuitry necessary to display very sharp text as well as monochrome and color graphics. And it has enough ports and expansion slots to build just about any computer system you might want in the future."
