By Dr. Hal Powe, University Health Genter
Q. I have heard a lot of common wisdom about the dangers of
preservatives commonly found in foods today. How much of this
is true?
A. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a very power
ful, diligent and effective government agency, keeps very tight con
trol on safety factors relative to the use of preservatives. Any
product, drugs or prepared food, must be appraised by the FDA.
Q. How often should immunizations against such diseases as
diphtheria, polio, tetanus, etc. be renewed? Are they necessary for
people as old as college students?
A. As a general rule, the immunizations you mention should
be given during early childhood. Other immunizations should in
clude measles, German measles and whooping cough. Older people
should concern themselves with immunity against tetanus, in view
of the probability of puncture wounds, common in automobile acci
dents. Booster shots should be taken every three to five years.
Q. I have heard that it is dangerous for older women to have
children, and that this danger extends even to women as young
as 25 years old. What problems are involved here?
A. The incidence of complications during pregnancy and child
birth are higher in the very young and very old. The optimum age
probably lies between 19 and 26 or so.
I don’t believe age 25 should be considered too old for procre
ation. While a 19-year-old may have a somewhat easier delivery
because her tissues are more elastic, an older woman, being more
mature, can and does often discipline herself better, which largely
offsets the “old age” of 25.

STARTS FRIDAY
A DOUBLE BARREL OF “TRINITY” FUN!
The recent meeting of the Grad
uate Student Council was held
Oct. 18. The topics discussed rang
ed from recommendations of fine
revisions to the planned deans’
luncheon.
James Summers (Education), a
proxy representative for Floyd
Bevers, moved for a revision of a
fine policy set by the GSC a num
ber of years ago. The specific
change suggested was in regard to
setting an upper limit on the
library carrel key fine of one dol
lar per day for an unreturned key.
Such library carrels are available
to graduate students studying for
preliminary examinations or writ
ing dessertations or theses. The
carrels are administered by the
council. It was pointed out that as
the situation exists now consider
able fines can accumulate and was
decided that a limit be set in order
to prevent excessive fines. A com
mittee was appointed to investi
gate further the fine policy and
recommend the fine limit. The
committee includes Henry Smah-
lik (Ed.), Bennie Leeth (Ed.), and
James Summers (Ed.)
