They also said a referendum is not necessary considering the faculty members have already voted for the Faculty Senate as their representa- tive body in university matters. The senate members forgot, however, the essence of the issue: faculty input. Nothing is wrong with opening the polls for the faculty’s opinion. It can only help with an all-encompassing issue such as constitutional planning, especially considering that only 13 of the 300-plus faculty members make up the senate. The constitutional plan, a proposed list of goals for Eastern to achieve over the next couple years, covers all aspects of the university – the faculty included. With a referendum, the number of faculty members who turn out, regardless of the out- come, is a decent assessment of how much they collectively care about an issue or how much they trust the senate members as their represen- tatives. Further, the results of such a referendum would show the faculty’s degree of comfort with the constitutional-planning process as it stands.

What happens when 32 teeth try to fit into a size 28 mouth? For most of us, wisdom teeth represent four additional teeth that our mouth can’t accommodate. The result can be impacted wisdom teeth producing pain and possibly causing damage to the other teeth. It is not unusual at this time of year for students to have trouble with their wisdom teeth. Stress and lack of proper rest and diet seem to act as a catalyst for a wisdom tooth flair-up. Ideally the mouth should be x-rayed in the teen years to tell if the wisdom teeth are going to present a problem. If so, early removal is usually easier, less complicated and recovery time is much shorter. At Affiliates in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, the removal of wisdom teeth is done as an outpatient surgery in our offices and is often covered by insurance.
