Danger, Construction Prevails!
SGA Opens
’66 Session
The 1966-’67 Student Govern
ment Executive Board held its
first meeting of this academic
year Monday night. In an ad
dress to the board Student Gov
ernment President, Dwight Wag
ner, expressed hope that the
board would make a special ef
fort to bring about improvements
in at least three areas of col
lege life. He expressed a hope
that student - faculty relations
could be improved, that there
might come about a better un
derstanding between the Board
of Trustees and the student gov
ernment, and that there might
develop improved community re
lations.
Jerry White, vice - president,
noted that the interest forms
which had been passed out to
Freshmen had received a good
response. He noted also, that he
is in the process of personally
answering each form.
In other business, the board
approved motions to bring be
fore the students two proposed
Constitutional amendments. The
first, if passed by the student
body, would give the President
of the SGA“ the power to ap
point committees he deems nec
essary for the proper function
ing of the Student Government
Association, as long as these
appointments are approved by
the Executive Board.” This same
proposed amendment came be
fore the student body last year
but did not pass. The other pro-

New Blood-Testing Used To
Reveal Presence Of Mono
As millions of students return
to classes, school and college—
physicians and nurses soon will
be faced with long lines of young
men and women complaining of
feeling tired and listless and hav
ing other difficult-to-pin-down
symptoms.
Some students will simply be
suffering from laziness. Biit
many others will have a legiti
mate reason for “back-to-school
slump” — infectious mononucleo
sis _ a common back-to-school
disease which in the past has
been more difficult to diagnose
than to treat.
A theory that “mono” is trans
mitted by close personal contact
has led college students to ro
mantically call it the “kissing
disease.” Yet, when it strikes,
infectious mononucleosis can be
one of the most miserable ex
periences in a student’s life. Re
covery can be slow and every
day lost from school can en
danger marks and play havoc
with education plans.
Now, experts have found that
it can be an indicator of emo
tional stress. Recent studies con
ducted by the Tulane University
School of Social Work in New
Orleans revealed that high school
and college students who were
being treata^ for ^{^,^were
momentarilyU.depreseed ^iat the
time they ill. iThHSgmon!)
becomes a trigger for drop-outs,
an excuse for failing to repeat
a year, a last straw for request
ing medical excuses for postpone
ment of examinations.
In addition, mono is also a se
rious problem because of its abil
ity to mimic other ailments in
cluding appendicitis and hepati
tis. One authority, in fact, re
ports that no fewer than 29 sepa
rate maladies can be mistaken
for mono if disagnostic proce
dures are imprecise. These ail
ments may call for exploratory
surgery to verify or potent drugs
to treat, while the usual treat
ment for mono is three to six
weeks’ bed rest, aspirin and gar
gles.
Therefore, because of the possi
bility of a mono patient being
subjected to the risk of being
diagnosed and treated incorrect
ly. physicians have been search
ing for a quick and accurate
test to confirm or rule out the
disease. The Tulane study fur
ther indicates the need for ear
ly detection of the disease since
postponement of needed bed rest
adds to the stress and makes for
emotional as well as physical
complicatons.
This year, however, it will be
less difficult for school health of-
to tell whether a listless

Stain Students
Of AC Campus
By CHARLES WOLFE
As the largest student body
ever to attend ACC, 1525, began
readying itself for the Fall se
mester of the 1966-67 academic
year the students found present
not only the normal hazard of
classes, but they found that this
year they must watch their step
in an even more literal sense.
The reason being that ACC is
right in the middle of its fifteen
year building program, and
wherever one^oks he finds con
struction takmg place.
Just completed is the five-story
completely air conditioned dormi
tory for women. Named Hilley
Hall, in honor of the late ACC
President Howard Hilley, the
new facility has acconomodations
for 144 women students plus
guest room and an apartment for
a resident counselor.
Also put into operation for the
first time this semester is the
new Wilson Gymnasium. The
new gym will seat some 2,400
persons. The building includes
both air conditioned classrooms
and offices, plus spacious dress
ing rooms. All home basketball
games will be played in the new
gym.
Also, for the first time the
Art Department is all in one
building now that the Case Art
Building has been completed.
This building contains many at
tractive features including nu
merous art studios, a gallery,
and complete shop facilities.
However, with the completion
of these buildings, construction
on the ACC campus has not
ended. Students will have to con
tinue to watch their step as
construction begins on the Cafe
teria - Student Union Complex.
It is also not unusual to find
new holes and ditches appearing
on campus as work is done to
install new telephone lines and
repair the heating system. At
the same time that part of the
classroom building which has
previously housed the bulk of the
art department is undergoing its
own remodeling job. This is be
ing done for the purpose of add
ing new offices and a faculty
lounge. Another feature of this
construction is that it will allow
the present faculty lounge, which
is located in administration
building, to be converted into
office space for administrative
personel.
But don’t look now for this is
not all that the year holds in
the way of construction. It is
