Toothache may be pain in the neck
By DONNIE WALLACE
After repeated visits to the dentists to relieve that persistent toothache, have you ever found yourself not to be free of the nagging pain?
The oral pain which you may be suffering from could have originated from a source entirely remote from the mouth itself according to Dr. John I. Ingle, dean of the School of Dentistry.
Addressing an annual dentists* meeting in New York, Ingle explained how a patient might very well mistake a toothache for another ailment.
“One of the biggest problems that the dentist faces today is that there are a variety of pains in and about the mouth that might not be related to the teeth.” Ingle noted.
Among the pains most commonly mistaken to be toothaches are those of the sinusitis. In this case the patient may feel some pain in the upper teeth which extends into the floor of the sinus. Severe inflamation inside of the nose may result also. These pains could be the result of a cold or an allergy.
“Literally, there is really nothing wrong with the teeth. It's just that the pain is referred to the teeth from the sinus area.” Ingle explained.
Ingle also described a type of pain which deals with the patient's mental condition. The “psychogenic pain” is pain that a person usually feels in the mouth and face that affects the teeth but has no real organic reason for existing.
This pain is only a mental pain. “It is not the mouth or teeth that have been injured,” he explained, “but it is really the persons psyche that is sick.”
Intense oral pain can also be experienced during a heart attack. In about 18% of heart attack cases, pain will be referred to the teeth and jaws, he said.
In addition, there are some cases in which a person will suffer an apparent toothache while he is really experiencing a “phanthom pain.” He feels the pain in a tooth that has already been extracted.

City honors Widney Hall
ByDORETTA ZEMP
Widney Hall, the first building ever built on campus, was recently selected as a historic-cultural monument by the Los Angeles City Cultural Heritage Board.
Speaking for the board, President Carl S. Dentzel said:
“Truly a part of the cultural heritage of the California southland, Widney Hall’s significance in the field of education is unmatched by any other college landmark.”
Under its new designation, Historic-Cultural Monument No. 70, the 90-year-old building must be preserved as a sample of historic Los Angeles. It cannot be demolished, substantially altered or removed from its present location.
Widney Hall has been in continuous use for educational purposes since its doors first opened to USC students on Oct. 6. 1880. It is the oldest university building in Southern California.
It was first situated in the midst of a mustard field to which students made their way by horse-drawn streetcars.
The two-story frame building was designed at no charge by architects E. F. Kysor and Octavius Morgan.
The building has occupied three different locations, but has been altered only slightly in its appearance. It was originally con-

ISOM AT A joins Performing Arts
The Idyllwild School of Music and the Arts (ISOMATA) has been integrated into the School of Performing Arts. President Hubbard announced recently.
Dr. Joseph Saetveit, current director of ISOMATA, will continue to lead the educational program at Idyllwild.
A master plan is being devised to develop programs and campus facilities for ISOMATA. These efforts will lead toward the creation of a new and exciting setting for special studies and activities in the arts and related topics, Dean Grant Beg-larian said.
The current activities of ISOMATA consist of an extensive and diverse arts program in the summer months for children and adults.
The rest of the year the campus is used for conferences and seminars. New college level courses have been instituted this year to complement those offered in summer months.
The campus will be used as a center for concentrated study in music and other arts by high school-age and junior college
students during a seven-week session next summer, July 4 to Aug. 21, while retaining the current summer programs.
Plans are being formulated for a two-week festival of professional caliber Aug. 22 to Sept. 5.
College level and adult programs will be augmented beyond the summer months. ISOMATA will also become a center for special conferences and seminars organized by USC and other institutions.

.According to one report, a fraternity pledge was instructed to accost him with a pleasant Good Morning, Rufus!
When the naturally-timid student had thus addressed him, the President halted him, bidding him to approach nearer, then in a low tone confided. My close friends call me Barney.
