Miss Betty Dudley, assistant to Dr. John Lease, said that Lease, and Dr. F. H. Lauter will go be fore the Senate Committee on Nu trition and Human Needs on Feb. 19. This survey, according to Dr. Lease, showed that ascaris, a round intestinal worm, is prevalent in pre-school chidren in Beaufort County. Miss Dudley added that this infection extends from Appa lachia to Galveston, Texas. The ascaris worm can be very dangerous, since it takes partially digested food from the victim be fore it can be sent to the blood stream. This often causes mal nutrition. Miss Dudley said, "The survey showed that most victims of ascaris already have substandard diets an(l that the food they get is often not enough to keep them healthy. They would need much more food if infected with the worms." Te ascaris must enter the body through the mouth, Lease em phasized, not through the skin as does the tapeworm. The egg is swallowed and goes to the in testines, through the intestinal wall and then to the bloodstream. After passing through the body, the as caris is coughed up and reswal on Debate ['omorrow Southern Regional Council, will be Matthew J. Perry, legal counsel for the NAACP, and N.

Dr. Lease added that a full grown ascaris worm can be from 12 to 15 inches long and the size of a lead pencil. A victim may be infected with from one to a hundred worms, each of which pro duce 200,000 eggs a day. These eggs are filled with high quality protein which is taken from the victims food supply, especially milk and meat. "Poor nutrition, overcrowded liv ing conditions, and lack of proper (or any) medical care intensify the problem," said Miss Dudley. She said that the research had been conducted in Beaufort County because this was the area that had received publicity. "The project, a cooperative one between the College of General Meter Maids Hired Campus By KITTY MeCASKILL Staff Writer Two newly-hired meter maids are one visible sign that changes are taking place in the University Department of Security. According to George A. Key, Director of this department, "The meter maids were hired so that our patrolmen can devote full time duty to se curity matters." Even though other changes may not be so noticeable. Key said, the Security Department constantly strives to ensure safety. Another improvement is the addition of a third patrol car mainly to cover areas where students park cars. Key reports, "We've had quite a few thefts from automobiles. At the beginning of the year largely clothing was taken and it was stressed not to leave things in cars. They're going now after hubcaps, batteries, and stereos." Protection at night (from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m.) consists of these three patrol cars and four walking policemen. In the day there.,are two pptrol cars plus the two new meter maids. Mr. Key says the University is "trying to get security on an over all scope. One thing we have done .is to instruct our people to ques tion any strangers that they see on campus. In doing so they are going to stop students, but past experi ence has shown us that we have to do this. "For example .two white males started to break a door on Sims Building early Sunday morning. * Downtown * Richland Mall It's not too ec holiday.

Security They were apprehended quickly because a patrolman had observed and followed them," Key continued. Patrolmen have all had walkie talkies for the last four months but Monday aftermoon repeater sta tions were installed. 'his improve nient allows a patrolman at aiy point on campus to talk to another patrolman at any other point. -Staff Photo by Tom Mills Meter Maid Before it was necessary to talk to a base station which would relay mes&sages.

In some cases the children had both. "'This tudy has prompted na tion and statewide interest in the problem. 'The ascaris problem can be eliminated if sanitary facilties, correct personal hygiene and well balanced diets are introduced. '7he problem can be checked in 15 to 20 months," said Dr. Lease. He continued, "Since there is a need for educational material to combat lack of information to both the victims of this disease and the general public, USC is making two educational films to explain the treatment a n (I prevention of ascaris. These films are in co operation with S. C. ETV and funds granted to the School of General Studies by Title One. Changes make the arrest. This lowers the chance of having to shoot." Still another recent improvement is "a man on the desk at'the police station 24 hours a (lay to whom calls can be made anytime, andi there will be a response to what -ver the situation calls for. Here tofore calls after m.dnight and on week-ends had to be made to a telephone operator who would pass them on, but now a student can call police directly seven (lays a week." "We have made security all en compassing. Safety might be a better word to explain what the University wants me to do in the job that I'm in."
