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

found she had the disease. 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.

All new candidates for pledge

Rod Lindwall, newly-elected
president of the pep organization,
announced that actives would re
ceive the prospective workers at
the Student Union, Parlors B and
C. 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. Have a weighted average of
4.5 (75) and also an average of
4.5 for the semester preceding
initiation, first semester next fall.
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.
Beside Lindwall, other Cob of
ficers are: vice president, John
Connelly: secretary, Rex Petti-
john: and treasurer, Neal Baxter.
Col. C. J. Frankforter is the ad
viser and sponsor.

terviewed members of the faculty
who have worked closelv with
students in student government.
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

Those we asked felt tliat the
"Assembly is the best answer to
the problem of student govern

"The faculty is looking to the
Assembly to come up with the
answer. If the Assembly will for

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

plause, the applause was not
unanimous. Winton Buckley, Uni

that the Assembly was fulfilling
a useful function.
