Wednesday May 11, 1949 Trench Mouth Scare Sends Hundreds to Student Health "All I ever got was trench mouth . . . . " The words of the familiar song mean a little more now to the some 300 University students who know positively after their visit to Student Health that they have the disease. Until recently the words fuso pirochetosis (ulccromembraneous stomatitis) might have been nothing more than competition wi'h the name of a New England lake for greatest length. Trench mouth, its equivalent in a lay man's vocabulary, had only a lit tle more meaning. NOW THE WHISrER of the words is enough to send happy coders scurrying to see a Univer sity physician. Despite the fact that they were flocking to Student Health, a few people seemed to know much about the disease. They only were aware that people living in their houses had "it" and, becoming womed, wanted a ch' kup. Students lined up outside pr.vtcd their friends with glad cries: "What are you doing here?" The one questioned would cas ually remark, "Oh 1 just dropped in ... " Eventually the two were Ftnr.ding together and buying the 8rl hydrogen peroxide and peni cillin troches which are the basic treatment of the disease. To questions, "What is it? Dr. Samuel I. Fuenning, director of the Student Health Center has this to offer: Trench mouth is an infection of the gums caused by fusiform bacillus and rpirochete It spreads very rapidly and can cause considerable discomfort. The (Turns may be reddened and later purplish and covered with a mem brane. Penicillin is effective in the treatment and, if property treated, the infected mouth can le made clean in a few cays. . NOTE the "if property treat ed." Proper treatment means more than half taking of the pills your sister got when she went over and Lambert toTalk On A; Careers What about my career?

If means going to the health center yourself and having your treat ment directed by the physician in charge. Student Health, busy with a great many people who actually did not have the disease, sends up a plea: If you have soreness in your mouth, come in for a check up; otherwise your are probably all right and don't need attention. If you don't have the disease and don't want to get it, there are several things you can do, like eating at places which have ade quate sanitary facilities. You can avoid all close contact with other individuals, too. The Student Health suggestion blank mentions "common" drinking glass in par tocular, but let's face it close contact also means what every one knows it means. Student Health knows what it's doing, and you know just what you'll do about it. Counselors Choose 149 New Members Coed Counselors has named 149 new 'big sisters for next year.

He said that the get-acquainted meeting was being held this spring in order that the service program would be under way when school opened next fall. Workers, who successfully com pleted the work program this year, will be presented with the Cob emblem, said Lindwall. In addition, col ored films, taken of last years iooioan games, will be showm. Those men who have as p i r a t i ons of wearing the red sweater i. with the corn . t Cob emblem L4 N LJ on the front will need to Lindwall fill three primary qualifications. They must: 1. Be of sophomore standing, (24 to 55 hours completed by the end of this semester). 2. Be carrying at least 12 hours satisfactorily at the time of par ticipation in Corn Cobs; and be credited with at least 12 hours for the previous semester in which enrolled in the University of Nebraska. 3.

Lindwall urged all unaffiliated men who can satisfy the above requirements to be present. He also asked all organized houses to send two representatives that would best represent the house. From this group will be chosen the new workers who will assist in planning for the Big 7 outdoor track meet and other activities that will occur yet this spring. Lindwall expressed hope that workers' schedules for next year would permit time on Saturday mornings for work projects. Free time then would prove to the worker's advantage, he said.

Although the motion requested that the committee present its resolution to the Faculty Senate that body did not meet before the Assembly re-convened, Sorensen reported. The committee also at tempted to present the resolution to the Faculty Senate committee on student organizations and so cial functions but it was not in session. THE COMMITTEE then pre sented the resolution to four fac ulty members, Dr. Curtis Elliott, Dr. Mary Mielenz, Dean T. J. Thompson and Dean Borgmann. Sorensen presented a composite of the views expressed by the four persons. "The Assembly has th,e com plete support of the faculty mem bers interviewed," he said. Those we asked felt tliat the "Assembly is the best answer to the problem of student govern ment, Sorenson reported. "The faculty is looking to the Assembly to come up with the answer. If the Assembly will for get about the faculty and work out a fair constitution it will have the supoprt of the faculty and be put to a student vote or approved by whatever means are most ex pedient," Sorenson said. ALTIIOUGH this announce ment met with a round of ap plause, the applause was not unanimous. Winton Buckley, Uni versity party delegate, did not feel that the Assembly was fulfilling a useful function. "We are groping in the dark. I don't think that in three days we can draft a better constitution than David Fellman, a political science authority, has drafted and that is the Constitution the Coun See Assembly, Page 2 Prep Winners In Ag Judging Contest Named Winners of the 32nd annual state judging contest at Ag Col lege were announced Saturday.
