Furthermore, Frier asserts that
the hand rails, designed by the
University architect, are an af-
front to Angell Hall's neo-classical
interior. Frier describes them as
"shoddy Danish modern."
Frier points out that the admin-'
istrative directive allows for Uni-.
versity appeal to the Department
of Labor and he hopes that the
University will make such an'
appeal.
As of now, the Classics Depart-
ment's appeal rests in the hands,
of the Dean's office. Soon after!
the appeal was made, Bland Le-
verette, senior administrative as-
sociate in LSA, said that an appeal
to the state was being considered
and that "as a last resort" the
Plant Department should work out;
some sort of mutal agreement on
the design of the hand rails.
The Plant Department is in1
charge of building the railings. i
One week after Leverette's letter1
had been sent, work on the handi
rails was resumed with no advance'
notice given: in two days it was
finished..

DETROIT UP1h --Ford Motor Co.
announced yesterday it is recall-.
ing nearly 400,000 Ford Torinos
and Mercury Montegos-virtually
the entire 1972 model run of inter-
mediate-sized cars--to correct a
defect which could allow rear
wheels to come off the car.
Gordon Robertson, service engi-
neering manager of Ford's Cus-
tomer Service Division, said the
company has received reports of
rear axle bearing deterioration
caused by a variety of factors. In
extreme cases, Robertson said, the
condition could lead to an axle
shaft coming detached.
A Ford spokesman said there
have been five reported cases
where Torinos or Montegos lost
rear wheels while driving, caus
ing damage to the cars.
Ford said it is sending certified
letters to the owners of the cars,
instructing them to take the ve-
hicles to their dealers for installa-
ion of retained plates which will
give an audible warning of bear-
ing failure before it becomes cri-
tical.
