NU Health Service Develops
Diabetes Detection Technique
4Do-It-Yourself Test Strips Involved in Approach
By Nancy Whitford
A new technique for the
early detection of diabetes,
which may 'have nation-wide
significance, has been devel
oped by the University
Health Service.
The new approach to dia
betic case finding consists of
mailing "do-it-yourself" test
strips to persons who are then
asked to return the results.
Significance lies in the fact
that the method is both cheap
and effective.

Winter Park Is Invaded:
'Skiing Is
Nobody qualified for the
Winter Olympics, but 14
students and their chaper
one returned from Colo
rado with the opinion that
"skiing is great."
The group spent five days
during Christmas vacation
at Winter Park, Colo., as
representatives of the Stu
dent Union's annual ski ex
cursion. One Sprain
Only one member wa3
listed on the casualty rolls
and escaped with a
sprained knee.
The daredevils of the
slopes left Lincoln early
Dec. 29 and traveled in the
clubcar of the Burlington
Zephyr. (Due to overcrowd
ed conditions, the car had
working overtime (at left) as black clouds
of smoke and white clouds of vapor rose
nearly straight into the air. And it was
just as cold downtown as on campus. The
Continental National Bank temperature
sign (at right) reminded passersby of
what their cold faces already told them.
who tested positive have been
identified as "probably dia
betic." "The significance of these
figures lies in the fact that
2 to Vh persons per 1,000 on
the University campus have
been found to have diabetes
without being previously
aware of it," said Dr. Ken
neth Rose, director of re
search for the University
Health service.
"This means that there are
probably 200-250 persons in
the city of Lincoln who may
also have diabetes without
realizing it," he said.
1.7 Cents Each
Cost of the tests is approxi
mately 1.7 cents each, while
similar testing done in a doc
tors office would cost about
$2. However, once a year dur
ing National Diabetes Week,
Nov. 15-31, all doctors coop
erate to run free tests on in
dividuals who desire them.
Due to lack of initiative on
the part of the public, this
method has been successful
to only a limited degree.
Suggested by a consulting
physician to the University
Health Service who wishes to
remain anonymous, the new
idea was given Impetus by
Dr. Samuel Fucnning, direc
tor o f the health service.
Much of the "legwork" also
wag done by Dr. Rose and
Miss Celeste Knipmeyer, pub
lic health nurse.
The importance of early de
tection cannot be overempha
sized, according to Dr. Rose.
One example of this is the fact
that when the body fails to
burn sugar, it burns fat in
stead. This causes the for
mation of certain fatty
substances believed to cause
hardening of the arteries.
Still another result may be
blindness.
Persons who have family
histories of diabetes should
be especially careful to have
frequent test checks, Dr. Rose
noted. All persons are rec
ommended to be tested once
a year though he said.
Additional possibilities for
the method are seen in the
future when similar test strips
may be used to discover kid'
ney ailments and other dis
eases.

Many observers believed
Howells' interest in social
reform died with the defeat
of the Populist Party m 18,
Prof. Hough writes, but to the
contrary Howells continued to
speak for reforms such as
prison reform, woman suf
