Antifreeze,good tires necessities in winter
By PAUL JEFFERSON
Staff Writer
With the onslaught of icy gusts of wind, blanketing snowfalls and the ever-present slush of winter, many students need to take shelter. They should ensure themselves of continued good health.
But students aren't the only ones who need that extra care in a less-than-ideal environment.
Mechanics in Lawrence say that car owners also need to pay a little more attention to their cars during the winter when they are them of continued mechanical health.
"They should always keep enough antifreeze in the car to avoid cracking the engine block," Jerry Weeks, service manager at Dale Wiley Pontiac-Cadillac.
A GOOD antifreeze should protect a car down to 10% degrees or lower, Weeks said. Operating a car without antifreeze would ruin the engine because the heat generated by it would be much higher than the outside temperature, causing the block to crack.
*You should change your antifreeze every two years to maintain visibility,*
*from frosting inside the cabin.*
non tarp, service writer for John Haddock Ford, said that many antifreeze also acted as coolants during the summer, but they must be changed regularly.
He said that gas fire freeze-up can also be a problem if water condenses in the gas
Jin Bilderback, service manager at Jayhawk Volkswagen, said that the majority of the cars he serviced never had a freezing problem in winter.
"A METHANOL additive, such as Heet, will absorb the water and then get burned in a small amount of time."
"A lot of the Volkwagens are air-cooled, so they don't use water or antifreeze," he said. "All our Rabbits, Dashers, Datsuns and others have water-cooled and use an all-year, coolant."
Brothers . . .

"I avoid movies or things where you don't get to talk or be on a one-to-one basis," Green said. He said a one-to-one relationship with an older male was what the little brother didn't have at home, so it was the man's job to establish the relationship.
relation should it was best to base the relationship and said it such as taking, or walking.
**THEY LOVE just walk around on campus during the day. They get a big kick off.**
Parker said his little brother liked playing catch, going to the park or just riding in a car.
"Jance, Parker recalled, his little brother wanted to go to a store to buy a "bunch" of candy. When asked whether he had any milk or water, "Wahdya mean? I gotta whole quarter."
Baska said more students were discovering that little brothers and little sisters could be both cute and interesting companions.
He said the number of Big Brothers and Big Sisters had increased so much that occasional holiday parties, funded by the Student Senate, were becoming too crowded to host all the people involved in the programs.
BASKA SAID he hoped the programs and the facilities would keep expanding, because they helped give needy things that were often taken for granted.
Scott recalled, "The first thing my little brother said to his mom when she told him he was going to a Big Brother was, 'Are we gonna get to go to the football games?'"

office so it can be distributed to other post offices and police stations.
"WE JUST ENCOURAGE people to know they're buying from," be said.
The easiest way to solve the problem of mailboxes full of junk mail is to "drop the mailbox" and have it sent directly to a server.
However, if bare mailboxes are a problem, people can write to the Direct Mail Marketing Association and mail order companies to have their name added to mailing lists everywhere, insuring more junk mail than ever.
equipped with snow tires because "they didn’t learn to spin and get air" and are a bello. Bidders can be a hell of a job.
Weeks said that radial tires were excellent for driving on snow and ice.
"NOW WE have cars with front-wheel drive and they're equipped with radials."
"You can leave your radial tires on all
weather," he said.
Tarp said that he thought studded tires had an advantage over radial tires because they are less expensive.
"But I think they're passing a law in the legislature to prohibit rape in court." he said.
According to a spokesman for the Kansas Highway Patrol, studded tires can't be on the road before Nov. 15 and they must be removed by April 1.
WEEKS SAID that cars equipped with windshield washers could get a special antifrost solution to keep the windshield clear.
"You can also buy it in a can. It's similar to antifreeze in what it does," he said.
Tarpy suggested that drivers carry a large bag of salt or some sand in their car trunks in case they became stuck in snow or on ice.
*ALWAYS carry some jumper cables,*
*they can save you $15 for a towing*
*chair.
Buberback said that the best insurance to keep a car running in winter was to keep it covered.
"It shouldn't cost any more to run a car in the winter. Just make sure the battery has enough water in it, and is charged. If a car has been maintained, it won't break down."
