University Daily Kansan / Thursday, September 17, 1987 11 Nation/World Nursing homes fail to meet standards The Associated Press WASHINGTON — More than 3,000 of the nation's nursing homes repeatedly failed to meet at least one federal health requirement over a four-year period, and Kansas is one of four states that repeatedly has failed to meet requirements. Congress was told yesterday. "Repeated noncompliance with nursing home requirements is widespread," said the report, released at a news conference by the General Accounting Office, the investigative arm of Congress.

California, Connecticut and Kansas — were picked because researchers said they had a large percentage of their facilities repeatedly fail to comply with selected requirements. Homes in Wisconsin were added for comparison purposes because there were relatively few repeat offenders. No state-by-state compliance records were made available. The report also described a Kansas home, also not identified, in which 13 residents in 1985 had bedsores, and one of the residents had a bedore on the hip that was four inches in diameter with muscle visible.

The company is now a New Hampshire) and the Tandon PC line has become increasingly bouncil on campus. Since the late seventies, Tandon Corporation has been known as the leader in the microcomputer disk drive market. To maintain their position as a market leader, they have redirected their marketing and manufacturing efforts to better meet the needs of their manufacturers and end-users, including the introduction of an IBM-compatible computer. In March, the State of Kansas signed a contract with Tandon Corporation to purchase PCAT/compatible machines. The PCA is functionally equivalent to the IBM PCAT/at almost half the price. Tandon went to the top to ensure the success of their microcomputer launch. Four IBM veterans, who were closely involved in the development and manufacturing of the IBM Personal Computer, were hired to manage the engineering and marketing divisions. This dedication to a quality product has allowed Tandon to make significant inroads into the PC marketplace. With an 80286 microprocessor, an optional 80287 co-processor, and keyboard selectable clock speeds of 6 and 8 MHz, it offers comparable performance. The PCA was rated "operationally compatible with IBM PC/AT" by Future Computing, which is the highest compatibility rating given. The University of Kansas has The Tandion PCA comes with 1 MB of RAM and a wide selection of hard disks for about half the price of a comparable IBM. found that a computer with these features and benefits is definitely a good buy, especially at state contract prices. Tandon also has a PCNT model which is ideal for word-processing and data entry. Both Tandons are a good choice for anyone who needs the security of a brand name and nearby dealer service. "Tandon offers high quality workmanship at an affordable price", says Mark Husby, Computer Olet Sales Representative, "Overall, it is a good value."
