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. OBSTETRICAL examinations, pregnant women Alr's 220 Fuller Rd. under the Red Canopy in the Huron Towers across from VA Hospital m U W20 7ArborM rW ROWsA, An . 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.

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." Music School group to play for President The Amazin's Blues, a Music School ensemble of 24 vocalists and instrumentalists, will enter- tain before President Ford in Washington at a Congressional dinner March 5. Group member Mark Felsen- feld says, "We feel privileged in having this opportunity to perform for the President." The President will also hear music arranged especially for the occasion. The melodies, composed by Jerry Bilik, who does arrangements for the Marching Band, will range from "rock to popular melodies for our Washington presenta- tion," according to Felsenfeld.
