Thursday, September 28. 1972 University Daily Kansan 7 Here Are Facts OnContraceptives Oral contraceptives have proved to be effective in arthral control, but their use carries some attendant risks. Women taking oral contraceptives have ten times greater chances of developing blood clots in their veins than do nonusers. The most serious complications resulting from these blood clots are clots in the brain (stroke), clots in the lungs, and heart failure. The most common complication is clots in the lower. Other frequently occurring complications are nausea, vomiting, bloating and abdominal cramps, break-through bleeding (spotting), breast changes, nausea or vomiting in hair growth, weight changes and depression. One of the more serious complications of oral contraceptives is the failure to ovulate after treatment is stopped. Oral contraceptives work by suppressing ovulation. They can suppress ovulation permanently in some individuals. This causes sterility. There are several other types of contraction. The second most commonly used means is the diaphyrax. This method has worked well for eight different applications, but not for jelly in combination with a vaginal diaphyrax. The vaginal diaphyrax is made of soft rubber shaped like a bow with a flexible spring at the outer edge. The effectiveness of this method, when applied to the abdomen, is for oral contraceptives — 60 to 88 per cent. the IID (Intrauterine Device) differs greatly from the devices because the woman who uses it has a relatively low risk of infection. The IUD is inserted into the uterus by a physician and in left place for as long as the woman wishes to have it. It is inserted only when it is in the uterus. The woman may check its for presence by feeling a short thread that is left behind. Some women are unable to retain the IUD and it is expelled. If this goes unnoticed, the woman has no contraceptive protection. This method is used in women who have had children. Bertha E. Bell, M.D. --eight-week program and the 16 week full semester program.

Student TeacherTransition Is Rough The School of Education is having some difficulty changing its eight-week student teaching program to a 18-week program. Howman, assistant process of education, said Tuesday. By JOCELYN WOLBER Kansan Staff Writer "We did not recognize that it would be so complex to move from one program to another, Bowman, who is also a coordinator of our new laboratory Experiences, said. A major difficulty in the change is the reorientation needed for the cooperating school." "Many teachers in these schools simply do not understand the full-semester idea," Bowman said. The universities also have to be reoriented for the 16-week program. Bowman said THE UNIVERSITY of Kansas at Wichita Falls, Kansas, years ago. Plans called for the removal of the eight-week program from the system by Bowman said that for several years students would be able to choose between the traditional In the 16-week program, students leave campus for the week to attend credit hours for student teaching and six credit hours for block courses. Howman said he contributed to the eight-week program because it certified the student to teach in most classroom experiences. Under the "eight and eight" or eight-week program, students will be required to return to campus to take six to eight hours of block courses. The student would not certify a teacher after only eight weeks of student instruction. "BECAUSE it is a more con- clusive program and because all states recognize it, we are in the midst of a week-peek program." Bowman said. Schools that cooperate in the 16-week professional semester between their institutions and Multi-Institutions Teacher Education Centers (MITEC). The program is a "cooperative" educational experience for universities that provide LAWRENCE public schools do not belong to MITEC but they do a biweekly program on the elements of law, and who want to do their student teaching in Lawrence on or near only eight weeks; therefore most secondary students must走出 of Lawrence." Howman said. MITEC enables supervisors from different institutions, both of higher education and elementary and secondary cooperate in the training of future teachers. Bowman said. Bowman said students could gain "different kinds of experience" by stead of taking the traditional block course, "Understanding language." Boam said. The University of Kansas State University, Kansas State College at Pittsburgh, Kansas State Teachers College at Emporia, and the Shawnee Mission public schools cooperate in developing additional MTEC is also being added to Topeka, Boom said. BOWMAN SAID that there were some problems in the teaching program, but that the students involved "oiled only about one per cent of the students who simply are not aware of the discipline of being teachers." cooperative supervision for student teachers." Bouwman said. Because the expanded program allows many prospective teachers to participate as junior, many students find out for themselves that they are not suited for teaching, he said. "We feel it is better for a student teacher to follow a course in an a school board meeting, or PTA meeting or participate in a parents' night program rather than hear lectures," Bowman stitution," student teachers learned through practical experience. A student aiding program builds the student's confidence because it gives him the chance "OUT OF EVERY gallon you sell the state gets four cents, the federal government seven cents, the state takes another two or three cents. "Since we're lucky to get gas now for 12 or 13 cents per gallon from our distributor, that doesn't leave us much." Crude Oil Shortage, Rise in Use Blamed for Region's Gas Problems "The lowest we'll probably go in the near future is 27.9 cents," he said. "That's about right," one independent station attendant said, "They (major brands) are usually at 33 or 34 cents a gallon in Lawrence, and we are always two to five cents under them." By CHUCK POTTER Kangan Staff Writer By the second half of a student teacher's experience, he can be a great help to his cooperating teacher. By the end of the student teacher allows the cooperating teacher freedom to concentrate his efforts in other tasks. Jayhawk Oil obtains its gas from the Williams Brothers terminals in Topeka and Olathe. Bowman said this semester that the University of Kansas had 258 student teachers in the public school system, and 167 students going out in the second quarter on the eight-and-eight program. These students are distributed among 25 different schools and 43-mile radius of Lawrence he ABOUT TEN per cent of the students teaching on the elementary level are men as well as per cent on the secondary level. Prices in Lawrence stations Wednesday ranged from 29.9 cents per gallon of regular gas at an independent station to a high of 37.9 cents at a brand station. The average price is 35.9 cents per gallon for regular The gasoline shortage gripping the Midwest may last a year, according to Jim Myers, vice president of Jawahry Oil Co. "It could last a few months, or maybe longer," he said. "No one knows for sure. But at least they knew that they were six weeks ago." "Since the government cut back on depletion allowances, most oil companies have been able to recover more consequently, finding less gas." "IF ANYTHING good has come out of the shortage, it would be that at least prices have stabilized," he said. Independent jobbers, gas dealers who distribute gas independently of national gas companies, have been feeling the pinch for the last six months. A shortage of crude oil, coupled with gas consumption, has made it difficult to obtain gas regularly. "There are a lot of different views about the shortage." Myers said. "But a major reason for it is the lack of crude oil. to watch other teachers before he begins student teaching, Bowman said. The company then supplies gas to three local stations. "We supply umbrellad gas, but that doesn't mean it's definitely not a major brand," the attendant said. "When our trucks don't rain, we all feel, we don't know what kind of gas we will necessarily get." "A LOT OF PEOPLE think unbranded衣服 is inferior, but that is not true. It's all basically the same gas." A spokesman for M & M Oil Co. which supplies local Phillips 66 stations, said they have not been affected by the shortage. "We haven't had any problems, but in Oklahoma and Texas the refineries are getting short of oil and we're not drilling any new oil wells. The spokesman did not then that antipollution devices, which lower gas mileage, were in use. The gas consumption appreciably. "Phillips is going into a lot of new fields, and we may run into a shortage in the future," he said. "WE HAVEN't noticed that as an essential factor. Certainly our business doesn't reflect it. Our customers are, however, are using more gas." M & M Oil is supplied directly from a refinery in Kansas City. They could receive gas from the oil plant, but it would be necessary, the spokesman said. M & M's prices are uniform with other Phillips jobsbors, the spokesman said. "All major brand prices are pretty much the same across the country. Phillips sets our prices for us." The spokesman declined to state what percentage of losses absorbed by Phillips stations were subsidized by the corporation. go below 25.9. "Independents can only go as low as 23.9 before they really start to lose money," Jayhawk's Myers said. **'THE AMOUNT' varies.** Besides, no one really wants gas wars. The independent stations that maintain major hospitals have to follow them down. "The majors generally won't "A MAJOR BRAND station sets themselves up as an independent, and not under, they are under. They increased their business considerably, since they are a major brand, but everyone else is not," he them. It caused a lot of problems earlier in the summer, but the station is at a standout now, "he said. Myers also said independent stations are usually about two cents under major brand prices During the spring semester Bowman said he expected to have at least 100 more student teachers because "many like like to have student teaching as their last experience." He recalled an incident several months ago that led to a gas war. "Even when the major brand stations do lose money, their respective corporations usually cover 50 per cent of their losses." Many gas stations set their prices in direct accordance with their competitors. One attendant admitted the owner of his station that he would be "on every night" just to check what everyone else is doing.* "Everybody went up two or three cents a gallon the first week of school, when a lot of students were using cars. One the students settled down, though, they got up to $10. Prices go up on weekends, too, when a lot of people are in town for the football game." Gasoline prices vary locally depending on the situation, the attendant said. This semester there will be a change in the evaluation procedure of student teachers, Bowman said. Instead of the traditional letter grade, student teachers will receive a grade of honor or even a report of the report of the cooperating teacher and the university supervisor. Students teachers receive an evaluation which becomes a part of their certification. In the Placement Bureau in the School of Education, Bowman "There are jobs available."
