Pregnant women may no;
longer have to worry about
possible damage to unborn
babies from X-rays used in ob-1
stetrical examinations, thanks
to the latest developments ina
the use of Ultrasound at the
University Hospital.
Ultrasound involves the bounc-
ing of high frequency sound
waves from tissues to bones
with therwavestransmitted to
an oscilloscope for viewing.
ULTRASOUND, though not it-
self a new development, has
been used in the past to study
heart and eye diseases. But only
recently has it been recognized
as an innovative method of'
examining the sensitive tissues
of a developing fetus, according
to a hospital official.
X-rays, the traditional method
of checking up on a trouble-
some pregnancy, can cause
damage to the tissues of an
unborn baby. Ultrasound, on
the other hand, is completely
painless to the patient and won't
harm the fetus since there is no
build up of potentially dan-
gerous radiation.
The other great advantage of
Ultrasound is that it can detect
very fine tissues, such as those
of a developing baby. X-rays
show only bonesand other hard
areas, unless a radioactive sub-
stance is taken into the body.
Ultrasound involves no such in-
take, only the lubrication of the
skin with mineral oil. Ultra-
sound will not, however, pene-
trate heavy bone areas like the
skull.

which make up about 40 per
cent of the procedures done in
the Ultrasound unit, reveal such
important things as the position,
size and age of the fetus or
fetuses in the mother's body.
Another 40 per cent of the
Ultrasound examinations are
pre- and post-surgical exams.
The remainder of the time, the
unit is used as a source of in-
formation about Hotchkins' Dis-
ease - cancer of the lymph
nodes, thyroid disease and
other deadly conditions.
Unfortunately, the new dis-
coveries in the field of Ultra-
sound have not yet been widely
implemented. Although some
other hospitals have a unit
"there aren't many places that
can use it to the sophisticated
degree that we can," according
to the hospital official. Hope-
fully the ever expanding use-
fullness of the technique will
spread more rapidly in the near
future due to its most recent
innovations.

LSA clamps down on
independent study
By JIM FINKELSTEIN
The Literary College (LSA) Curriculum Committee yesterday
clamped down on independent studies, directed readings and
experiential work, by directing academic departments to review
their criteria for granting such courses credit.
According to Assistant LSA Dean Jean Carduner, this action
by the Curriculum Committee is "not a crackdown," but rather
an attempt to "legitimize this kind of work in the best possible
way. If we want a good Independent Study program, it must in
fact be good, not cheap."
He pointed to instances of students being granted academic
credit for participation in employe recruiting boards in the
dormitories. "That kind of thing," said Carduner, "ought not to
be an independent study - it should be something else."
According to the proposed guidelines, all work not done
under a listed course number will be subject to review by
Boards of Study in each department and, if necessary, by a
college-wide board of study. There will be a limit of 15 hours
granted for all such experiential work.
Students and faculty haggled over a further limit to the total
independent study and directed reading credits a student may
elect. Mark Gold, President of LSA Student Government, said
that he opposed in principle any limitation on course work done
outside the classroom.
IT WAS evident though, that most of the Committee felt
otherwise. "We're saving the student from him or herself," in-
sisted Eugene Nissen, Director of Academic Counseling.
However, representative Jane Praeger stated that she didn't
think the measures would mean less non-traditional course of-
ferings by the department.

dorm spaces, with fewer rooms

UNDER HER proposal, class

receive the spaces.
HUC members called the

posals. We had a serious debate
going on."
The Housing Office will de-
cide over spring vacation which
plan it will institute to 1ighten
the projected housing burden.
The consensus among HUC
members is that the Anderson
and Higby proposals are the two
most likely alternatives.
Which way the Housing Office
will decide is anybody's guess,
but Housing Director John Feld-
kamp says, "If I had to decide
now, I'd favor a plan giving
recognition to the class levels."
