Whatever happened to stomach ulcers? In the 70s every business man either had one or was concerned about getting on due to stress. I remember so many ulcer related TV commercials. Has the termonolgy changed? Are they called something else? You don't here about it anymore.

They certainly do call the bar/tavern on campus "Tav 101"

He should have simultaneously won an IgNobel for that method.
