Doctor Reveals
Developments
In Diabetes
Recent developments in the
study of diabetes are centered
around a simplified treatment nf
the disease, according to Dr. Ste-
fan 17., I
ajuns. associate protessor
of Interna Medicine at the Uni-
'"a"J aucmgan.
Dr. Fajans, while visiting at the
University College of Medicine in
Omaha, said that early diagnosis
ill aid in retarding the onset and
severity of the disease as well as
lessen the treatment necessary. I
Dr. Fajans added that the "pre- j
dication of those predisposed" can !
be heightened by well-established
clinical routine. Those persons who
are overweight or who have an-,
cestors who were known t- have!
fliaDetes are most likely get
the disease. Routine checkups can
id this susceptible group.
"Three and one-half to four per
cent of the American population
have diabetes but, only about
two percent of them know tljey
have it," remarked Dr. Fajans.
The control of diabetes lies in
early detection and adherence to
medical instruction concerning diet
and medication by those afflicted.

Primitive Crevture:
Prehistoric fossil Elephant
Given NU Residence
By GEORGE MOVER
Staff Writer
It takes time, know-how, and
muscle to put stegomastodon
back together again.
In fact, the staff of the Univer
sity Museum worked on-and-off
about ,19 months to restc the
700,000-year-old "fossil" elephant,
which is the newest addition to the
famed Elephant Hall.
The only other such skeleton on
display in the nation is at the
National Museum at Washington,
DC.
The Ice-Age Nebraskan meas
ures 29 feet long from the tip of
its tusks to the tip of its tail and
stands nine feet, four inches tall.
The bones of the stegomastodon
were discovered in 1939 in a fossil
quarry on the Dan Bowman ranch,
east of Broadwater. Dr. C. Ber
trand. SchulU, Museum director,
explained that the mounting of the
elephant was delayed because of
the lack of space and funds.
However, during the last two
years extensive renovation has
been done in the Museum's famed
Elephant Hall with funds conated
by H. C Wear of Brandon. Colo.,
through the University Founda
tion. The renovation included rear
