Dr. Samuel Fuenning said dampness, exposure, and late hours can create the type of environment in which colds thrive. Other factors are the student's natural resistance, periods of extreme stress (Rush Weeky-finals, etc.), and how prone the student is to catching colds. Two or three colds a year are normal but they can be avoided or lessened if the stu dent keeps his resistance high and takes a cold pill at the first sign of a cold. Accord ing to Dr. Fuenning, cold pills are available from the health chairman in ninety percent of the living units on campus.

Architects Win Praise Sketches by two University of Nebraska architecture stu dents for use in the city plan ning of Pittsburg, Pa., have won recognition from Pitts burg officials and from the National AIA Journal, high ranking professional publica tion of American architects. In its September Review of Nebraska Architecture, Pro fessor Patrick Horsbrugh's report to the Pittsburg Plan ning Commission (PPC), the Journal includes seven sketches by Richard Farley and Joe Johnson, both in their fifth year of study. Opportunity for the students to display their talents came several months ago when Prof. Horsbrugh, com missioned by the PPC to of fer suggestions on what Pitts burgh might do to solve traf fic problems and still save historic buildings, called upon them to produce some of the sketches needed for the project. Both students plan to do landscape architecture when they graduate next June. Students who are prone to catching colds and other re spiratory ailments should re ceive flu shots early, before the flu and cold season be gins. Dr. Fuenning, a graduate of the University of Nebras ka School of Medicine and a member of the Health Serv ices since 1948, said the func tion of the University Health Service is to prevent illness and accidents among the stu dent population. "It is our goal," Dr. Fuenning stated, "to help the student under stand himself and the medical facilities on campus. The stu dent must take the initial responsibility to be concerned about his health. "If possible, " Dr. Fuen ning quipped, "the University Health Service would like to work itself out of a job." It will establish the rules, and procedures. It will also choose the topics for debate. Topics will follow the general trend of questions used in other Big Eight schools.
