  • THURSDAY FEBRUARY 13, 1975 ^♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦^ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ »♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦<>♦■ THE I DOCTOR'S BAG] if AimU Wuku, U.7).\ Question: My boyfriend showed me an ariicle in a magazine which says thai swallowing semen increases bust size. Is this true9 Answer: No. + + + + + -*- + + + + Question: I'm a very squeamish person. I've always wanted to work in a hospital, but for ihe last several years my phobia is getting worse. I couldn'i even waich my baby being born. I'm afraid if anyone had to depend on me in an accident, I'd faint or have a cardiac arrest. Is i here any hope of overcoming this squeamishness? The suggestion has been made 10 me ihai I start laking Red Cross courses and get used to ihe idea of helping bleeding and helpless persons. Answer: The phobia jou describe clearly places minimal limitations on a person, unless ihai person wants to be involved in the vpc of situations you describe. Squeamishness at the sight of blood or injury is a normal reaction. One is much less apt 10 faint or feel squeamish if actively involved in events rather than standing by as a passive observer. Those of us who are exposed to relative gory things by vinue of our professions, have had the opportunity during our training 10 gradually become used lo situations which would normally offend one's sensibilities. Sometimes we even become insensitive in the process - an undesired side effect. As long as the phobia is well defined and anxiety is not pervasive, a form of behavior therapy known as desensiiization is highly effective in fining rid of the symptom. Basically, the person is confronted with a carefully worked out series of anxiety provoking stimuli which are alternated with pleasurable stimuli. This is usually accomplished by imagining a variety of scenes presented by the treating person who has ascertained the nature of the phobia through a careful and extensive history. Many psychologists and psychiatrists are familiar with the techniques involved in this type of symptom removal. In ease all of this fails, treatment of fainting involves lying the person flat on their back and staying calm. Under no circumstances should ihe person who simply faints be kept in an upright position. ++++++++++ Question: I enjoy performing cunnilingus, but in the process I often consume pubic hair. As I understand it, our systems are not capable of digesting ihe hair, so my question is what happens to it and should I worry about it ? I have seen the hair balls they take from cattle and the thought of one in my stomach does not appeal tome. Answer: Hair is not digested by humans or by animals. When consumed in large amounts it forms a tightly knotted ball which can sometimes lodge in the digestive tract and cause obstruction. The technical name for such a formation is a bezoar. They are more commonly found in ruminant animals, such as cattle, although they are occasionally found in babies and small children and some unluckily disturbed adults. Your fear sounds more like the fantasy of a thwarted producer of erotic films. Either that, or your technique is terrible. ++++++++++ Question: I want to shave my pubic hair for a change of pace. How do I go about doing it so it doesn't pull? Also, how long would it take to ^growback? (Thislelter was written by a woman). Answer: A change of pace? No matter how well you shave, you still won't restore yourself to a state of pre-puberty innocence. The way to do it is to trim off all the excess hair wilh scissors first and get the remaining hair good and soapy and wel so that it is soft. Then shave only in the direction in which the hairs grows. Now that I've told you all this lei me warn you, hair grows back at much less than a millimeter a day and it can be a long itchy business that mighl make you unhappy thai you ever started ihe projeci. ++++++++++ Question: My roommate is reluciant lo lose weight because she fears her bosom will appear more prominent than ii presently is. When I lost weight I encountered corresponding loss in bust size (to my dismay) so I suspeci her fears are unfounded. Will her bust size decrease when she loses weight? Do you know of any exercises which will facilitate a decrease in breast size? Answer: Pass my reassurances on to your roommate, the odds are overwhelming thai her bust size will decrease as she loses weight. Busi size varies tremendously with body weight since breasts are made up mostly of fauy tissue. In some circumstances, a woman may- lose weight, improve her posture and have ii become apparent for the first lime thai she actually has breasts, once body contours become more clearly defined. I know of no exercises to decrease breast size. One could try a slumping posture with rounded shoulders to give the appearance of having small breasts but the limitations of this approach are obvious. Some women who have unusually large breasts find them awkward, unattractive, and the cause of skin irritations. They can at times benefit greatly from a surgical procedure which reduces the size of the breasts. While ihis is an uncommon condition, it can be extraordinarily distressing and can be remedied by plastic surgery. Incompletes to T's (Cont. from p. 1) thought it was a logical request.'* Committee chairman Jim Shive said last night that the policy "described by the memorandum penalizes the student, not the instructor who has failed to notify the registrar of the THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 5 removal of an incomplete. "The University" Shive said, "has been cooperative with the senate in recent matters and I hope they will respond in the same way again. The announcement does not affect fall quarter incompletes. 10 Million Turkeys by Rich Hall Fear and Loathing in Waynesville Part II ... We had four gallons of Romilar, a plastic jug of Robitussin, 300 hits of Corieidin, a shoebox of hallucogenic orange-flavored children's aspirin, eight ounces of the finest Contac this side of California, 40 pellets of dynamite Excedrin, a mayonnaise jar half full of Nyquil and a thermos jug of pure liquid codiene: Everything we would need for two people with minor sniffles and sore throats about to embark on a weekend trip to the package store. Five miles outside of Sylva a highway patrolman pulled out and started following us. "Don't Panic," I said to my attorney whose face was running the full color of the spectrum. He began to follow every traffic rule in the manual. "For God's sake speed up," I said . We were doing fifteen. The cop, from the rear view mirror, appeared to be radioing somebody. My attorney was panicking. His hands began searching frantically for the stash. "Calm down!" I screamed. The car was careening madly back and forth across the yellow line. Before I could get my attorney back under control he had already swallowed all the Excedrin and was starting in on the Nyquil. Suddenly the cop hit his blue light. My attorney gave up and slumped down in his seat. "Dirty bastard!" he kept repeating. I brought the car under control and to a stop. Out stepped the patrolman and sauntered ominously up to the car. I leapt out of the Pink Dolphin, onto the hood and started my patriotic soft-shoe routine, singing in an off-key voice: "Why hello Mr. Policeman how do you do? We admire and respect the men in blue We know you hate hippies, and we do to. Oh Crazy Fred how we love you--hoo-hoo." The policeman broke into smiles and returned to his car. My attorney was sweating like a madman. "It's okay." I said "Let's go." Ten minutes later he was more or less stable again, but I noticed he was having trouble breathing. "By dose is stobbed up." he said. I gave him a handful of Corieidin and some Romilar to wash it down with. Suddenly we realized that the traffic was as congested as my attorney's bronchial tubes. A half-mile ahead a logging truck was tottering along at three miles-per-hour. Led's take 'em," ventured my attorney. "Why not?" I replied. Quickly we whipped out into the oncoming < lane, and my attorney floored the accelerator. We [ had approximately 50 cars to pass and three extremely dangerous blind curves to manuever. "I think this calls for a shot of Codiene," he screamed as we reached 60 miles-per-hour. At 70 I had the Thermos jug uncapped. At 80 we had both guzzled a good pint of the nasty stuff. At 85 (maximum speed) we noticed the transfer truck bearing down on us. The codiene was taking effect immediately. The transfer truck was a 100 yards away. My eyeballs had released themselves from their sockets and were climbing down my cheeks. The truck was 50 yards away. The Pink Dolphin Volkswagen was shimmying crazily. At 25 yards my attorney had said his confessions. The transfer truck was on top of us. There was a wild, excruciating, screaming sound of crumpling steel as we went underneath the truck. When we emerged on the other side the Volkswagen was suddenly a convertible, and we both had crewcuts. "Holy Crap!" I screamed. "Was that a rush or wasn't it?" "By dose is still stobbed up" replied my attorney. (Cont. next week.) Pay toilets discriminatory (CPS)-Twenty-four women have filed suit against a long list of defendents alleging sexual discrimination against women in the use of pay toilets at the Denver CO Stapleton International Airport. According to spokeswoman Linda Meyer, the purpose of the suit is not to eliminate pay toilets, thought she felt that "personally, I think there is no justification" for them. Rather, the suit seeks to force an equalization in the number of pay toilets for both sexes. Currently, all women's toilet facilities require a dime to enter, whereas men at least have free urinals. Last month, Denver director of aviation Robert Michael reported that according to his survey, 73 per cent of the men's facilities are free as compared to only 27 per cent of the women's. He suggested reducing the number of women's pay facilities by half and that plan has been approved. But there were still more women's pay toilets than men's, and the women's group are asking damages of $500 each. If the suit is successful, Meyer said, "most of the women have agreed to put the $500 back into a legal fund," which will be used for projects such as prison reform and rape legislation. Record enrollment The University has a record- high winter quarter enrollment of 5,789 students enrolled in resident credit courses at Cullowhee and in Asheville. The total tops last winter's record of 5,428 students by 361. The 1975 head count equates to 5,177 full-time equivalent students, up by 288 over the 1974 FTE of 4,969. .-.T.rf* .-feu xnkt "I'm tired of fooling around with inffafioa ... let's Whip Recession Now!"
