Facial Restorations Available at Dental School Ever wondered how new faces are made out of old ones? Restoring lost facial structures is one of the many jobs performed by the University's Dental College. Dr. Raymond H. Stein t acher, Chairman of the Prosthodontics Depart ment, is in charge of this process, knowii as "maxillo facial prosthesis." He de-( fines this as "making arti ficial substitutes for lost structures in the facial area due to carcinoma." Carcinoma Carcinoma is a cancer which necessitates the re moval of parts of the face, eiliher exitraorally (outside S mouth) or intraorally (inside the mouth). It is the task of Dr. Stein acher and his associate, Dr. Jack M. Knodle, to make and restore these parts. The process s ac complished in co-operation . with the Surgical Depart ment of the College of Medicine. Dr., Steinacher described the process in the following five steps: 1 "1. We make a facial moulage, a repetition of the face as it is. An impres sion mat is used and this is called the "working model." 1 2. Modifications are made if any intraoral structures are to be replaced. 3. A wax pattern is fit ted duplicating the struc ture of the other side of the face. 4. With the wax pattern, the patient is fitted for fine adjustments. 5. The model is fabricat ed into the materials avail able." , The 42-year old Instruc tor, who hag taught at the University for 15 years, list ed the materials as a soft rubber type, a hard plastic and a new plastic. The soft rubber type didn't last too long and was not colorfast and there was a weight problem in volved with the hard plas tic, Dr. Steinacher indi cated. New Plastic He said that recently a new material has been de veloped. This new plastic is made up of silicone mixed with methyl methac rylate. The advantages of it are (1) colorfastness 'and (2) easy adaptability, accord ing to Steinacher. In cases of eye replace ments, the plastic has been preferred to the glass eye recently, he commented. "The new structures are held in position by various IFC Reorganization Board of Control Won't Comment Parts of the proposed Interfraternity reorganization plan nave Deen dropped by the IFC Board of Control, according to reliable sources. No official statement was made concern ing the outcome of Tuesday night's meeting. Members of the Alumni Advisory Group and the IFC tsoara oi control were present at the closed Board meeting held Tuesday night. The meeting was the second held in con nection with proposed plan. Board Plan The IFC presented its plan after turning down a plan sug gested oy tne board. means. Glasses are used for the eyes and special adhesives have been used for the lips," he said. Dr. Steinacher said that the facial prosthesis has been used at the University for approximately three years and he has worked on 11 or 12 cases. Cases Vary He pointed out that these cases varied in complexity "from prosthesis in the hard palate to complete res toration, such as the eye and the jaw." "The complexity varies, depending upon the magni tude of the cancer," he re ported. "There is no pain in the process if the patient is properly fitted," he stated. Dr. Steinacher, who grad uated from the University with three degrees (Bach elor's, DDS and MS), ad mitted that the restora tions "do require some amount of time, artistic ability and knowledge of anatomy." NU Graduate His co-hart, Dr. Knodle, is 33, has been at NU seven years, and is also in the Prosthodontics Department. He graduated from the Uni versity and obtained his masters at Montana State. The two dentists also combine their talents to make a cleft palate; con sidered a "cosmetic res toration." . "For these cases, in which the hard, so t or both palates may be missing, the appliances are used to close off the nasal cavity to the mouth so the pa tient can speak more clear ly," Dr. Steinacher stated. "The majority of these cases are people between the ages of two and 20," he said, "because we are working with the State Crippled Children's Home." tfiTe- ivcRSiTY of Neerr L1B5 r-sJ vi nnn K J liJ Vol, 74, No. 40 Lincoln, Nebraska Friday, Dec. 2, 1960 Two persons attending the closed session declined to comment stating that any news from the meeting was to be released through the IFC Board. Board President Ernest Dewey said, "No decision was made. It (the plan) is all un der study. For the moment we don't have anything we can say When questioned about parts of the plan having been dropped, Dewey commented, "No action has been taken to that effect that I am aware of." 'Discussion' He said there was "lots of discussion" and the next reg ularly scheduled Board meet ing is not till the end of De cember. Jerry McCracken, Presi dent of the Alumni group, said, "This (the release of r..iy news) is the function of tne Board of Control and we ft'.ia Alumni group) are leav i"3 it up to them. Until t.;2y. come out with a state i lent, we are remaining in tin background." Dr. C. Bertran Schultz, ISC ptiv'sor, said there was no ('::'skn and the group was 0 i ;os.?d to any publicity at t.: momsnt. "It is gc'.n to take, months p.rJ months for this to be 1 !l ironed out. It can't be done overnight," he said. He continued, "They cer tainly are putting a lot of tlnught into it." Marty Sophir, IFC Presi dent, said he had received "no formal word" of the mooting. Sophier indicated the feel- In;' of the IFC was "its plan was workable with the addi tion of the Board's support."

"Over 700 tickets have al ready been sold and there is still a week left before the Ball." said Captain Charles Svoboda, project officer. Capt. Svoboda estimated that 1,700 people would attend the event Dec. 10. Dick Rueter, tickets and tables committee chairman, attributed the rapid ticket sales to several things. "More reserved tables were available this year and we made arrangements for more floor space for danc ing," Reuter said. "And, of course, Richard Maltby and his orchestra is a big drawing card, and the fact that we've allowed more actual dance time." . ! Dave Calhoun, elections committee chairman, an- j nounced that 1376 students voted in Tuesday's election of the 1960 Honorary Com mandant. The winner's iden tity will be revealed during the Ball. .

This question was raised during the Student Council meeting Wednesday when Bill Connell told of seeing "a campus cop going through my glove compartment two or three weeks ago." Connell asked fellow Coun cil member and Chairman of the Parking committee Deon Stuthman if , the policeman was within his rights. Captain Masters explained that a policeman "is com pletely within his rights to check the contents of a car when he is in the line of duty. "However," he continued, "he cannot search a house or apartment without a search warrant." ' Connell related that he was "rather surprised" to see someone going through his glove department. "It seems to me it is an invasion of pri vacy," he said. DECK THE HALLS University Singers soloists include (from left) Carolyn Rhodes, Paula Kneppet, Louis Lawson and Jocelyn Sack.
