Adams said: “All of (the re- comtnendations) then collective ly constitute a kind of planning document. From there on out, then the Southern Association has the right to say, ‘Fine. You’ve got 10 more years worth of accredidation, good work ... We think you ought to look at this, and this and this and this.’ Barzak said, “From there on out (after the visiting team’s re commendations are turned in), it’s on the desk of the men and women who run the University — the administrators. And it is for them ... to make the changes recommended.” Adams said: “And in the last two self-studies ... the University administrations in office (at the time) have implemented those changes that were necessary in their own way, in their own time, but basing them on the self- study.” After all the papers are turned in, recommendations are made and committees are dis solved, the process continues. “We are obligated to respond to the Southern Association within a year after they leave on what we have done, if anything, and if not, why not, to their re commendations,” Barzak said. “We turn in an annual report anyway. It is mostly statistical ... who are the officers, how much have you grown. It’s kind of just a summary to bringing up to date the source of funds, the size of faculty, the programs, what degrees are of fered and so on.” But every institution — the successful ones and the unsuc cessful ones — has to submit, in addition to the first-year report, a fifth-year report, a midpoint report. “Compared to the original self-study this (fifth-year report) is minimal,” Barzak said. “The Southern Association really just wants some figures about what’s happened in the last five years in regards to finances, volumes added to the library, this kind of thing.” Adams said the abstract idea of a self-study never« cause one is constantlvti it. “So that’s why the i preserved, that’s why ti are preserved, and thj| periodically, at yean two and year five,onelt down on paper whati doing about it,” he said i He said the self-studij nations bring about i changes that can’t bed “When the people i the University ceasetoh|/()| 75 T to-day part of it, no_ can lie well run," he said students and faculty ami nistrators and staff dott each other in the exctj Se ideas, things get donebajjl I think this isoneoftheiii; ties in which il’sdonepre* "And this self-studylj without any doubt the imp.

Dr. Peter M. Schantz of the CDC said Tuesday the use of microwave ovens to cook meat could be dangerous because they don’t always produce uni form temperatures throughout the product. “To be absolutely safe, you really have to take a thermo meter and check the tempera tures,” Schantz said. He said pork must be heated to at least 137 degrees in all parts to avert trichinosis. “It’s fairly well known certain microwave appliances don’t al ways achieve a uniform temper ature throughout the meat,” Schantz said. He said the even-heating rule should apply to all meats, but especially to pork because of the threat of trichinosis. Schantz said prevention of the disease is extremely important since treat ment is not always satisfactory. Early symptoms include swell ing, fever and muscle pain, he said. USDA studies showed in fected pork thawed in a micro- wave and cooked on a charbroil- er still carried the trichina lar- When you come back from spring break, will you be ready for 6* March 25-28. 1982 science fiction/fantasy convention.
