  • i DOCTOR'S BAG] if A*mU (Ouku, M.7>.l QUESTION: Is there any danger to swallowing chewing gum, other than it catching in the Throat? An unrelated question I have is that I heard that Listerine mouth wash can be applied to the ear to prevent the build-up of wax. Is this true, and is there danger of possible damage to the ear? ANSWER: One of the not-so-clever folk tales that mothers pass on to little children is that swallowing chewing gum will make their intestines stick together. There is no evidence to support such a notion. Normally, when "swallowing occurs a lid like device (glottis) functioning as a valve, covers the opening leading to the lungs, preventing food from being aspirated. Gum and other small objects in the mouth are occasionally sucked into the lungs, but not by swallowing. An untimely rapid inspiration, such as might occur during coughing or laughing, causes the aspiration. If the object is large enough, such as a chunk of food, it can get stuck in the larynx (voice box) and cause choking and death from asphyxiation. Smaller objects can find their way into the lungs where they can cause incredibly nasty infections. If someone aspirates and starts to choke in your presence, you may save his life by reaching into the mouth and pulling out the object if it is .large enough to grab, or with assistance turning him upside down and pounding on his back. Beyond either of these expedients you would need the assistance of a person knowledgeable enough to cut an emergency opening into the trachea (windpipe) below the larynx. If you are going to use mouthwashes, which are worthless from any health point of view, keep them in your mouth. The skin in the canals of the ear is extraordinarily sensitive and should not be poked at or messed with unless one is directed to do so by a physician. Some people do have unusual amounts of wax build-up which can block the ear canal and cause a painful situation. For the vast majority of people, ear wax tends to dry up and fall out. There are preparations which soften and liquefy dense, sticky wax allowing it to work free. Some of these can be irritating to the ear. Gentle weekly flushing of the ears using a rubber bulblike ear syringe also works well. A physician can instruct you in the use of either of these techniques. QUESTION: My doctor said I had a right ovary fixed onto the uterus. My complaint was severe backaches and some right sided pain making me ill and causing me discomfort. He recommended birth control pills; however, I have no real menstrual problems. Can you explain this to me? He said that if the pills didn't help, he would recommend a hysterectomy. I am 40 years old. ANSWER: From your description, it sounds as if your physician believes the pain you are having is related to ovulation (the release of the egg from the ovary). IF there are adhesions between the ovary and the uterus, it's conceivable that they could cause considerable pain although in no other way affect menstrual function. The use of the birth control pill in such a situation would be to prevent ovulation and therefore prevent the pain. The birth control pill is used in a number of medical situations for reasons other than its contraceptive value and this would be one of them. If the birth control pills do not stop the pain, the suggested surgery might well be in order. Pregnancies at age 40 are generally not recommended but if this painful condition existed when you were younger and interested in having children, it is possible that surgery could have been performed which would remove the ovary but would not involve a hysterectomy and therefore would probably not affect your ability to have children. QUESTION: In my semen I have quite a few small, translucent jelly like particles. Is this any cause for alarm? ANSWER: No. Semen is made up of a small amount of sperm and larger amounts of secretions produced by the seminal vesicles and the prostate gland. It should come as no surprise to you that there are people who have studied the stuff very carefully. They report that the prostate, among other things, contributes two enzymes to the ejaculate. One of the enzymes causes coagulation and the other causes liquefaction of the semen after several minutes time. These substances are added to the semen in the last milliseconds before ejaculation. Most likely, you are observing normal coagulated semen. Consistencey of semen varies somewhat depending on the frequency of ejaculation and the degree of sexual excitement, among other things. THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN THURSDAY APRIL M974 PAGE 5 /lilllMililJlliiilUliiiiiiiilinRiiim Bv K. H. Boutelle THE DOOBIE BROTHERS—"WHAT WERE ONCE VICES ARE NOW HABITS" Insofar as significance is concerned, "What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits", the latest from the Doobies, is basically a directionless album. In a broad sense the work in this recording does not measure up to that of previous efforts. However, several of the songs on the L.P. surpass any former accomplishments of the band. The content of the record is controlled predominantly by dance-beat rock & roll, one characteristic of the group which leaves little room for variety and contributes to boredom. After all, one can only do so much with two guitars. Tom Johnson and Patrick Simmons keep the album afloat with tracks like "Black Water" and "Daughters of the Sea." Along with the remaining Doobies they are assisted on this recording by notable Arlo Gutherie (autoharp), and sideman Milt Holland (tabla, mirimba and pandeiro). The superb songs on the disc, "Black Water" and "Daughters of the Sea", exemplify the only noticeable diversity in the Doobie's music. These wre good. "Black Water", a local color song about the Bayou region, features some talented lick switching from guitar to viola and strong underlying harmony influenced by the dixieland style. This is a big change from earlier Doobies but decidedly a benificial one. "Daughters of the Sea" is a driving song with intense percussion and adroit guitar leads. The time changes in this track are admirable, and toward the end of the piece become a flowing instrumental, terminating with the soothing sounds of breaking waves. "Another Park Another Sunday", "Spirit", "Eyes of Silver", "Pursuit on 53rd Street" and "Road Angel" make up the dominant sound of the album, and help considerably in destroying its potential originality with the outstanding songs. Instead, these trite and unimaginative bursts of music give the entire release a stale flavor of Top 40. I was fairly impressed with "Down in the Track", a powerful rocker which contains noteworthy guitar leads and appropriate lyrics for its "macho" atmosphere. "Tell Me What You Want" (And I'll Give You What You Need) is also effective and suprisingly emotional. The music and harmony are tight and work well together on this selection, exhibiting sound professionalism. "Song to See You Through" features horn work, but was disappointing due to a restriction of leads in the arranging of the horns. Rather than take control of the music as one would imagine, the horns merely provide a background for the Grand Funk-like noise on the track. "What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits" is the Doobie Brothers at their best and worst, Unfortunately, the weight is unequally distributed, with the backbone composed of crap, and the heart possessing truly innovative music. It's a pity that this album can't be balanced, for it would certainly be an asset to the impending success of the Doobie Brothers in the future. VAm&RNS 03 mougnz After the April-Fools edition of the Western Carolinian hit the streets last Tuesday (they hit the streets after people read them), Patterns of Thought conducted an informal poll of student reaction. Originally the poll was intended to discover how many students were april- fools, that is how many were fooled by the foolish articles foolishly published in the Fools- day edition. But the poll soon confirmed that the biggest april fools were not the readers, but rather the writers, if we can so refer to them. For sure, a number of students did believe the 'legitimate' article about the water being cut off, and some even fell for the beer sales on campus nonsense, including most of the restaurant managers who were 'quoted' in the story. However by-in-large, the Fools- day edition did nothing other than to make the average student wonder just what type of people the Western Carolinian has on its staff, T know they're up there in Joyner,' said one student, 'a- way from everything and all,., maybe that has something to do with it. Golly, maybe they need help or something—somebody ought to check on them and see if they're all right.' 'Yea, I agree,' began another student, 'especially that editor Alice Barden or something like that. I mean that guy's about as fummy as a kick in the ba by Tom Tornado lis. And Hank Komodosky—he couldn't write his way out of a a paper bag, or a confessional either! As for Dwight Sparks is it true they keep him chained up in the basement during daylight hours? I sure hope so anyway,' Well, we really hate to disappoint anyone, but (Note: we were forced to print this) Barden is very funny (just ask him), Hank can write well ('as good as I can play golf,' he says), and Dwight is definitely not kept locked up during daylight hours (Frank Browne signs a release for him each year), PUBLIC ENEMA OF THE WEEK: John Slater, your American Pa rty Candidate, (This is legi- itimate.) Patterns of Thought hasn't committed any heresy in a while. To remedy this, we offer to enlighten our readers by re-exposing the dark, blasphemous cult of Must-Lust, which the Church declared an idolatrous and pagan practice at the beginning of the medieval age. Founded by an obscure (some say obscene) monk in a monestary outside Dresden, the cult usually remains underground for most of the year, surfacing during the spring, Must-Lusters have been known to be behind such devious developments as the bikini, topless dancing, and streaking. Some groups of Must-Lusters form front organizations , with deceptive names such as P.O.W.(PieceOur Way) and S.G.A. (S G A ); Must-Lusters are renowned for their many pacts with the devil—how they get through White House security is anyone's guess, In North Carolina, the cult was outlawed by legislative action in the 1870's, "Next to Republicans, Must-Lusters are the biggest evil in the state," remarked one ligislator at the time. University Officials have warned that any students who are found to be Must-Lusters will be expelled from school immediately, right after a "private conference"with "appropriate officials,"
