Research to begin on hearing disorders New lab lures HDFL chairman
By DIRK MILLER Staff Reporter
Kansas brought a specialist in hearing disorders to KU from Purdue University by offering him a laboratory on the soon-to-be-remodeled fourth floor of Haworth Hall, KU officials said recently.
Larry Feth began his duties last summer as the new chairman of the department of speech-language-hearing sciences and disorders in the School of Human Development and Family Life.
Al Johnson, assistant to the vice chancellor for academic affairs, said the deal that brought Feth to KU was conducive to both parties.
FETH IS WELL—KNOWN in the field of noise research, Johnson said. The potential for growth in this field such as hiring faculty such as Feth, he said.
The new laboratory was not the only thing that brought Feth to the University. Johnson said, he said KU was a university that attracted high quality faculty.
The remodeling on Haworth Hall's fourth floor was designed partially to fit Feth's particular research needs, Johnson said.
Carolyn Hallenbeck, assistant to the vice chancellor for research, graduate studies and public service, said that she has conducted an active research program at Purdue.
Feth and the office of facilities planning worked together to draw up plans for the new psycho-acoustics laboratory, which Feth said would be used for speech, language and hearing research.
THE LABORATORY will include a used, 10,000-sound-attentuation chamber, which Poth received from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for Safety and Health, he said. It was
removed from the institute because of remodeling, he said.
The chamber, which has a controlled noise level, was given to Feth because he was planning to do research on noise effects, he said.
"They wanted the chamber to be put to good use." Feth said.
KU did have to pay snapping costs for the chamber, which came to about $400. There have been problems with the new lab. Feth said.
The laboratory was originally scheduled to be finished when he arrived at
Alen Wiechert, director of facilities planning, said as of yesterday that he did not know the projected cost for the laboratory.
Johnson said he thought materials were already being ordered for the laboratory. Secretaries reached at Feth's office said that microcomputers for the remodeled portion of Haworth Hall had come in.
Clean-up project sponsored by ONA
Trash wagons will trundle through the Oread Neighborhood this Saturday as part of the Oread Neighborhood Association's clean-un project.
The garbage trucks will leave from ONA headquarters, 1310 Louisiana Street, at 9 a.m. Saturday and on again Oct. 9. This Saturday, participants will drive from Ninth Street to 12th Street in the area bordered by Michigan and Massachusetts streets. They will help residents load trash into the trucks and deliver it to a landfill, organizers said recently.
Clean-up the second Saturday will be the area between 11th and 17th streets and Louisiana and Massachusetts streets.
GEORGE COGGS, president of ONA, said more than a hundred residents usually participate in the campaign. It has been on for four or five years.
"It has been a highly successful program and has definitely made a difference for the betterment of the Oread Neighborhood Association," Coggins said. "Over the years we've hauled out hundreds of tons of junk."
Carol Hood Henderson, coordinator of the program, said participants would gather in the park at 15th and Louisiana streets in the afternoon for free refreshments provided by residents and local merchants.
"Anyone who calls a piace home likes
to live in clean, safe and attractive surroundings," Henderson said. "Since our clean-ups were started, hundreds of residents have collected and carted off hundreds of tons of trash, brush and clippings from alleys, lots and yards. And everyone has had enormous fun doing it."
ONA PAID FOR a special city pick-up on the days of the clean-up effort and the group has rented trucks, too. Coggins said.
Money for the project comes from community development funds, he said. The project makes money available for community development programs.
Hospital administrator opens lobby for friendly atmosphere
By VICKY WILT Staff Reporter
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Bell Memorial Hospital has a more open look today, which Eugene Staples, the hospital's new administrator, says reflects his philosophy toward patients.
To create an impression that hospital personnel care about patients, Staples, administrator at the University of Kansas Medical Center has wanted to create a friendly and welcoming environment for the partitions that divided the lobby.
Openness is the key to better performance, he said. Staples said he ford for giving a reasonable decision today, over a perfect one tomorrow.
STAPLES BECAME administrator last July, filling a position that had
been vacant since 1978. He had been administrator at the University of West Virginia's hospital for 22 years.
He took over the Med Center at a time when the hospital was experiencing financial difficulties caused by low hospital occupancy rates.
The cure is simple enough. Stapesi said: attract patients to the hospital by letting them know what the Med Center has to offer.
"I believe we have some of the finest physicians in the world, certainly in the country," he said. "You can't be for better facilities than we have."
STAPLES ALSO praised the Med Center's nursing staff.
He and his wife, Moreen, decided to move to Kansas because now was the time to devote himself to a new institution, he said.
"In my stage of career development, I have about 10 years of active
administrative life left, so I can kind of pick and choose what I want to do," Staples said.
He said he preferred a university hospital over a private one because he enjoyed the excitement of working at a teaching hospital.
Staples said the private hospitals did not have the 'students and the students' inquiring minds. There's no brightener in the world today than people who will keep you honest."
BECAUSE THE Med Center is a teaching hospital, the facility is put on the cutting edge of the newest in technology in patient care. Staples said.
Providing care to patients under these conditions is rewarding to him, he said, because Med Center personnel can be trained and can not be done at other hospitals.
