learn but were not so different By Jillyn Smith Science Writer Utah State University Students in the Middle Ages had it better in some ways There wasn’t so much to learn But they also had it worse in some ways They used their memories much more because there were no printing presses or xerox machines Edward Grant a historian of science from Indiana University visited USU He specializes in the last week medieval period of European history or the “Middle Ages” which lasted roughly from 500 to 1500 AD and he told me w hat it as like to be a student then The students were all males to begin with Boys began study at the university at about age 14 They represented a small minority of the population-le- ss but they did not than 5 percent necessarily come from wealthy families Grant said Priests would identify bright young men from their villages and they were sent to study on the equivalent of Some of the church scholarships and universities were others were owned by the cities The students were valued in their countries Because they often traveled long distances from their villages to the urban centers where the universities were located laws were passed to protect them against brigands or highwaymen It was a crime against the stale to attack a student-- or a teacher for that matter Today’s universities owe much to the medieval system he said The students earned baccalaureate degrees in four years and could stay on another two years for a master’s degree The older students helped teach the younger ones A faculty member might give a lesson in the morning and a master’s student would repeat it in the afternoon for lower classmen to help them commit it to memory Everyone studied the same things however None of this business of different “majors” They all had to pore and it was a kind of over Aristotle passive education system But students had power in their communities They organized and forced the enactment of rent control laws If their neighbors were noisy they could and have them evicted complain because everyone knew that students need peace and quiet for their studies They wrote on rag paper using goosequill pens There were no books but they could rent manuscripts and make copies of them Needless to say this system led to a lot of errors over a few hundred years and it keeps today’s scholars busy trying to sort it out have also Grant said historians found that medieval students used form letters when they wrote home to ask for their parents money government survey found more than half of young black men smoke compared with 42 percent of young white men A 4 More news from Japan by Jane Beckwith foreign correspondent I’m surprised that school has been so irregular since it began in April (The school year begins in April and has three semesters: April to July September to December and January to March) School began on April 6 but there has been one interruption after another April 13 the students took a Sports Fitness Test Teachers were checking eyes giving endurance tests monitoring hearts AND get this: students were required to bring a urine sample to school the folowing Monday The school supplied the vials and labels Each student was to take the vial filled to the school nurse in the morning and she sent the vile kit and caboodle all 1400 to a local lab I stood and watched in utter amazement Last Friday the Grade 3 (seniors) were excused from class because their parents were required to come to hear In fact career guidance information Grade 3 is not required to come to class in the afternoon for six days guess it is similar to our conferences Saturday the Grade (sophomores) half of them went to camp The other half left this morning Upon a little further inquiry the definition of “camp” students will came to this Grade spend their enitre year with the same students unlike American students who are with a new group of students So to facilitate the every period students being able to work together camp they

or pull on the posterior tibia! tendon This repetitive action produces a tendinitis Other causes include poor alignment problems of which excessive pronation (or flattening of the arch) is most prominent Pronation is a significant cause of shin splints and occurs when the inner aspect of the foot contacts the ground more than the outer edge during the phase of running TREATMENT Treatment should be started after a good history is obtained The athlete should be thoroughly questioned regarding changes in the daily exercise routine mileage shoes or running surface The initial management should clude: rest application of ice after ercise and wrapping or taping of the leg prior to running Hot soaks prior to the initial may also be beneficial As the pain of the shin splints gradually decreases strength and flexibility exercises are started Ankle lifts and heel cord stretching are emphasized When the athlete resumes running it should be on a soft flat surface with proper shoes and reduced distances Additional treatment may be necessary in patients with excessive pronatioD collapsed arches or with poor running gait Molded orthotic insoles help prevent over pronation These devices are light flexible and permit the athlete to Most runners will at some time during their training complain of soreness or pain over the lower portion of the leg This area is commonly referred to as the shin and the symptom complex as shin splints It is commonly seen in athletes participating in track cross country tennis basketball and occasionally football Shin splints usually begin with a soreness or dull aching pain along the lower half of the tibia Most commonly this discomfort is experienced along the inner aspect of the leg Less frequently the pain is localized along the front or lateral (outer) portion of the leg In one of the early stages of this injury the onset of pain begins after a long run The pain may be replaced by a nagging soreness With repetitive running the pain begins shortly after the running starts Without proper rest or treatment the symptoms become more intense The pain increases and is constant before during and after exercise Shin splints is an overuse syndrome often caused by increased training in the poorly conditioned athlete It can also be a result of running on hard surfaces or the steep shoulder of a road Many runners experience shin splints during the winter months when they run on banked indoor tracks All of these mechanisms produce a significant compete without significant restriction Simple arch supports easily Fit into the running shoe and relieve the pull on the tendons Most athletes have partial or full recovery after conservative treatment A small percentage of this group will syndrome” develop a "compartment This develops as a result of swelling in the muscles of the leg While this is a normal process in all runners the swelling may be great enough in some to vessels and the blood compress diminish oxygen supply With less oxygen the muscles produce pain which is cramping in nature In these stances surgical release of the restrictive fascia provides excellent results Releasing the fascia (the muscular envelope) allows more swelling by the muscles before the blood vessels are ' compressed If these symptoms fail to respond to other conditions proper treatment which are similar to shin splints should be investigated Of these tibial or fibular stress fractures are common and should be ruled out Should you have symptoms similar to those of shin splints please consult your physicain for proper advice and treatment If you have a question regarding please forward it to Dr 1361 Stephen Henry Tyler Park Louisville KY 40204 Senior Citizens: health news for today from FC4A Health News Foods containing
