policy. I lie policy is not new . Inn actually bas been in effect lor two years. i he polio requires that organizations be responsible lor their members' behavior while a group activity is being conducted. Part of the reason for sending a written statement of the policy to organizations was the recent development of the all-l'nivcrsiry judiciary program. It was thought desirable to have organizations familiar yyith the policy since it is one of the bases on svhich the judiciary w ill operate. SAM also desired to |;now bow the organizations proposed to comply with tin policy and requested that the policy he annually rcvicyvcd by each group. Some organizations, namely, those that have a rather unique organizational setup, refused to sign the policy either because they felt the terms were too vague, or because they failed to see Inm they could comply yvith the policy. Many of the objections stemmed from a misinterpretation of the terms. t present, many of the misunderstandings have been, or arc in the process of being solved.

Mony University students hove their teeth fixed by dental seniors or graduate students. dentistry Dental pets are not encouraged For mosr students, brushing their ow n teeth is problem enough. But brushing a monkey's teeth presents even more complications. And some students must perform this chore on occasion. There's ft reason for it all, however. I'he students are Dcntistrx majors and they arc receiving valuable practice and knowledge through their work. On the top floor of Owrc hall arc located the animal laboratories of the School of Dentistry. Mere it is not unusual to find monkeys w ith dentures and rabbits missing a square of ear. Students and professors arc responsible for such happenings. The abnormalities arc part of research projects through which they can test unproven denture materials and observe how tissue will grow around a piece of cellophane implanted in the car's hole. A recent experiment required that each phlegmatic monkey be removed from its cage daily while one person held it still and another cleaned its teeth. Special toothbrushes were used as well as ropes to tie the animal and metal bits to keep him from biting Occasionally one would show a 24 spark of brilliance by putting his arms in position before he w as forced to do so. Professors do much of the research here, bur even undergraduates may get permission ro undertake some simpler project. (Jraduatc students are required to do research work with animals before receiving their Master's degree. They may spend more than six months giving cancer to I lamsters, operating on the jaws of dogs or seeing how certain materials w ill stop the flow of blood in a rat’s rail. For an unusual experiment they may use animals not generally found in a laboratory like ferrets that arc proven to have no qualms about biting the expressmen who deliver them. Both students and professors work to the sound of music from the dental clinic below. Of the many kinds of animals here, some smell and others even bite. Bur often a member of some anonymous cage becomes a special pet. Pets are often kept here but arc seldom welcome. I hex cost money to feed. And besides, at the end of an experiment it is difficult to slice up a pet in order to make a tissue slide.
