Colds Remain Number One On List of Student Ailments
By KATHY TUSSING
Korean Staff Writer
Upper respiratory infections
are the most common aliment
treated at Watkins Memorial
Hospital and Schweiler and
Schewer said Wednesday.
Schweiger said that influenza had not been around, but that three or four students with the flu attended the hospital this semester.
Schweiger explained that most people had three attacks of colds every year although most were not hospitalized to require hospitalization.
Students are more susceptible to colds than nonstudents, Schweiler said.
This can be attributed to the fact that students are compacted into tight groups such as organized living groups or classrooms, seizing student spreads germs over at least 12 feet, he said.
The second most common medical problems seen at Wake Forest are injuries you would anticipate with young, active people," Schuh said.
According to Schwegler, breaks, cuts and sprains are also more prevalent among bicyclists than motorcycles, said that bicycles and motorcycles are far more numerous on campus than on foot and they involve injuries.
After considering these two common medical problems Schwegier said the incidents of other single ailments drop off.
Since student communities are also more athletic than the average community, students use armaments, unorganized athletics and just tossing a football around were more active than nonstudents.
"We see practically everything under the sun," he said.
Mononucleosis is not as widespread as some people think, according to Schwab. They often tell us usually some students in the hospital with "mono," but that the disease didn't reach the great proportion.
Schwegler said that he didn't believe students' diets were lacking in nutritional value.
He said that the foods students
SUA Plans May Include Excursions
Weekend trips to Chicago, St Louis or places of interest in Kansas may be future attractions offered by the Student Union travel agency, Tony Mosiman, SUA travel director, said Wednesday.
Ideas for such trips are a result of the Association of College Union International Region XI conference that officers and staff members of the university attended a Rock Springs Ranch near Junction City.
Mosman said that no definite plans for weekend trips had been made but that future trips might be made to Kansas or occurring in Kansas. Mosman said those trips would be of interest for foreign or out-of-state students.
Mosman said he thought there was an equal exchange of travel ideas between KU and other colleges attending the conference, and shared sessions, each school contributed ideas and information in the area with which it was most familiar. For example, KU contributed more ideas for international travel, and Kansas State University provided more information about wilderness and ski trips. Mosman said.
Each session included open discussions of individual, domestic, and international trips.

chose were sometimes not the best, but most students' diets were not deficient.
Schweiger said there had been a few epidemics in recent years. He remembers epidemics of food poisoning, influenza and
German measles in the last seven years.
During the meaes epidemic,
Schwegler said, the students
"filled the side porch and they
sent in (situations) were just
everywhere."
