Anyone who suffers from tension head
aches knows they can be a real bite.
Waldemar Derijk, senior UNL dental
student, said there may be a correlation.
Derijk said if a patient's teeth do not
fit together properly, the jaw will open
wider preventing two teeth from grating
against each other.
This extra muscle activity can cause ten
sion headaches, he said, just as a pebble
causes blisters if not removed from a shoe.
Derijk has been chosen to present his
paper concerning muscle activity in
patients suffering from jawbone mal
functions to the 55th International
Association of Dental Research (IADR)
in Copenhagen April l,he said.
Derijk said he uses electrodes to moni
tor changes in a patient's jawbone muscle
activity. "
To pinpoint muscle strain, Derijk piaces
one electrode on the patients cheek and
another on the earlobe and connects the
two to an FM radio transmitter.
When a patient clenches hjs teeth, a
light tap by the dentist's hand is given to
the chin, he said.
A muscle reflex occurs, and, as the mus
cles relax , electrical impulses are absent,
causing silence in the radio transmission,
he said. ,
If a patient's teeth do not fit together
sroperly, he said, the silent period i3
onger. It is a warning signal, he explained,
ust as a person limps when a rock gets in
lis shoe.
The teeth are ground in isolated spots
to correct the height difference, Derijk
said.
Only "very, very small" bits are
removed, he said, because everything in
the mouth is magnified about 10 times.
Derijk, 32, is from Holland. He graduat
ed from the University of Amsterdam in
1968 and came to the United States where
he received his Ph.D. at UNL in 1974 in
atomic physics.
Derijk received the Edward Hatton
award in 1976 for his research project "An
Optical Test for the Groove Adaptation of
Dental Amalgams (silver fillings) Using a
Helium-Neon Laser.
He is the second student from the NU
College of Dentistry to submit his work to
IADR and is the first to win an award.
Derijk said he hopes to continue his
research after he graduates in May and he
plans to apply for a research grant from the
National Institute of Dental Research.

Rinne said each student organization
should be allowed to use its own proce
dures to deal with disciplinary problems.
When an administrator is too involved in
dealing with student discipline, "the po
tential for abuse is too great," she said.
At UNL, the university Judiciary Board
hears and decides cases of students with
alleged violations against the university,
said Ron Gierhan, acting vice chancellor
for student affairs. The vice chancellor
then implements the decision.
This is unlike UNO's proposed discipli
nary policy, which does not separate
executive and judicial functions, he said.
UNL's requirements for student govern
ment candidates also differ from UNL's,
Gierhan said. UNL's only requirement
is that a student be registered in regular
day classes. Student organizations can set
their own additional criteria for involve

Life has been advised to consider changes
in eligibility requirements, he said.

The notice allowed Shovers to continue

dissatisfied, he can appeal to the chancellor.
Some persons, including current UNO
student regent John Malone, have
questioned whether someone besides a stu
