NU Research May Lead
To Human Stress Test
After more than a year's taken from chickens subject
research with cells from a ed to stress.
mouse and serum from chicfr
en blood, a team of Univer
sity medical scientists has ob'
tamed evidence which may
lead to the first simple test
for detecting emotional and
physical stress in humans,
said Dr. Kenneth D. Rose.
Such a test has long been
sought according to Dr. Rose,
research chief of the Univer
sity's Health Service who con
ducted the research.
Other members of the re
search team are Dr. Samuel
I. Fuenning, director of the
University Health Services,
originator of the project; Dr.
Donald M. Pace, director of
the University's Institute for
Cellular Research; and re
search assistant Richard
Maca, a pre-medlcal student.
The doctors recognize the
wear and tear resulting from
today's faster living pace is
an important and baffling fac
tor in most mental and physi
cal illnesses including the na
tion's number one killer cor
onary disease. So far, the
presence of stress has eluded
simple and accurate detec
tion. Transplanting
The University researchers
found that animal cells trans

Council Asks
6Noon Class'
Investigation
A resolution suggesting the
lnvestigation'of the possibility
of better utilizing the class
room space and the noon hour
for classes was accepted by
the Student Council Wednes
day. The resolution was present
ed by council members
George Moyer and Don Witt
and amended by Chip Kuklin.
In final form the resolution
stated:
"The Council respectfully
suggests to the University reg
istrar that an investigation be
undertaken to determine the
possibility of holding classes
through the noon hour or
scheduling classes on the half
hour inasmuch as better use
could be made of otherwise
vacant classroom space.
"The Union food service
would be better able to serve
students if the peak load on
food service were better dis
tributed and it would consoli
date the time which students
must spend in class.
"The Council feels that the
benefits of a staggered noon
class scheduling procedure
might be desirable. Along
these same lines, perhaps the
greater use of one and a half
hour classes on Tuesday
Thursday could be made to
eliminate the generally dis
liked Tuesday-Thursday-Sat-urday
classes."
Moyer suggested that a sys
tem of scheduling classes on
the half hour would help to
alleviate the problem of idle
classrooms and increase the
classroom efficiency of the
University in future years.
Council members pointed
out that scheduling on the
half-hour was becoming the
trend in universities and col
leges in the U.S.
Test cells grown in serum
from chickens living under
normal conditions develop no
particles. Furthermore, the
researchers found if thev re
moved the stress from chick
ens, the cellular particles
would not form.
Cells used in the experi
ments came from mouse tis
sue selected for its sensitiv
ity. The cells are similar to
the type which compose ha
man arteries.
The chickens were stressed
by subjecting them to above-
normal temperatures and also
by overcrowding in pens
Each type of stress produced
the fatty cellular particles.
Nature of Particles
After the first discovery the
team is continuing experi
ments to determine the nature
of the fatty particles. Also un
der way are tests designed to
isolate the unknown substance
which stress produces in the
blood and which causes .for
mation of the cellular fat.
Of importance the scientists
have found that the amount of
fat normally in the chicken's
blood does not vary greatly
when stress is applied. Dr
Rose said the fat particles de
veloped in the cells before any
fat increase occurred in the
blood.
if the fat level had risen,
the scientists could have as
sumed logically that the fatty
particles in the cells resulted
merely from more fat in the
blood. Since no consistent in
crease occurred, the develop
ment of the particles seems
independent of the amount of
fat in the blood, Dr. Rose
said.
mis tinaing couia mean
that stress, rather than the
amount of fatty food you eat,
is the predominating factor
governing your chances of
Journalism Gratl
Edits Magazine
A University graduate in
agricultural journalism has
been named editor of the
Turkey World, a national tur
key industry magazine.
Walter Patterson, who
graduated from the University
in 1959, has been with the
magazine's staff for less than
a year. Turkey World is pub
lished by the Watt Publishing
Company of Mount Morris, 111.
Patterson was one of sev
eral students selected from
colleges throughout the na
tion to work as a summer
trainee in the Office of Infor
mation in the U.S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, Wash
ington, D.C. He also worked
in the Department of Informa
tion on Ag campus while at
tending he College of Agriculture.
escaping America's number
one killer coronary artery
disease," said Dr. Rose.
' However, more extensive in
vestigation is needed to def
initely substantiate this
point."
. Deposits of Fat
The current popular belief,'
subscribed to by many doc
tors, is that a primary cause
of heart disease is a high-fat
diet. The basis for most cor
onary disease is the narrow
ing of arteries caused by de
posits of fat within their walls.
These deposits either block
the flow of blood entirely or
severely restrict it, thus dam
aging the heart or the brain,
said Dr. Rose.
What has not been pinpoint
ed before, he said, is the
source of fat. Many doctors
claim it comes from a fatty
diet which, they say, in
creases the amount of fat in
the blood which in turn depos
its it in the artery.
Because the University doc
tors found that fat develops
within the cell before fat con
tent of the blood increases,
they believe the source of the
fat is certain cells within the
artery wall and that the fat
is created within these cells
by stress.
From these cells, the re
searchers believe, the fat
finds its way into the blood,
thus accounting for the high
fat content especially large
amounts of choleserol found
in the blood of most patients
with heart disease.
Dr. Rose said they found
the test cells grown in blood
from stressed chickens devel
op cholesterol at a greater
rate than cells grown in se
rum from normal chickens.

been collected from states
ranging from Massachusetts
to California and Wisconsin
to Texas.
According to Skinner, sta
tistics will be kept on each
egg, beginning with the num
ber broken in shipment and
continuing through the rear
ing of each bird, until it is
marketed.
The poults will hatch about
May 1, and will be reared
under close surveillance, said
Jskmner.
Hens will be marketed at
22 weeks and toms at 26
weeks of age. To further ex
pand the information gathered
from this test, the white fur
keys will be reared separate
ly from bronze birds, a depar
ture from practice of past
years, Skinner noted.
Statistics and information
compiled during the Nebraska
test, which is one of eight con
ducted in the U.S., will be
tabulated on IBM cards and
sent to the U.S. Department
of Agriculture.
USDA will then integrate
the data with those of the oth
er seven nationally recognized
tests and the results will be
distributed to the turkey in
dustry, explained the Univer
sity Extensionist.
Vital statistics include mor
tality rates, rates of gain,
body measurements, dressing
percentage and the number of
market grades and market
rejected birds in the various
strains included in the test.
Dilliard: 'Abandon Trivia,
Tell Public 'Why' of News'
Newspapers were, charged
with the ultimatum to aban
don "trivia" and resort to
"depth reporting" and telling
the public the "why" of news
by Irving Dilliard Friday eve
ning at the Sigma Delta Chi
banquet.
The former editorial page
editor of the St. Louis Post
Dispatch highlighted the
men's journalism society pro
gram with his speech, Pub
lie Information, How Public
and How Informing."
Also on tne program were
E. W. Scripps II, vice presi
dent of Scripps-Howard News
papers and national president
of Sigma Delta Chi and War
ren Agee, executive officer of
the society.
All three were commis
sioned Admirals in the Great
Nebraska Navy by John
Kelly, assistant to Gov. Frahk
Morrison.
Dilliard's speech paralleled
one given Thursday night at
the Phi Beta Kappa banquet,
"Are We Undermining Our
Bill of Rights."
Our Children's World
"We didn't make the world
we live in, but we are making
the world of our children,"
the noted authority and au
thor. on the U.S. Supreme
court warned as he critized
newspaper's neglect of the in
dividual citizen.
To illustrate his argument,
Dilliard cited several in
stances wnere little men in
the country had been
stamped on by the govern
ment and the papers had not
publicized the fact.
One case involved the de
portation of a Finnish house
painter from Portland, Oregon,
who had lived in this country
since he was eight months
old.
The reason for his deporta
tion involved his attendance
at a socialist meeting in the
thirties in search of a job.

"Freedom", Dilliard argued,
"is the only defense against
Communism. Things that
count are those things which
happen to the individual citi
zen, neither engineering, nor
ballet, nor agriculture .are
battle grounds for America,
instead, we must buckle down
and live by our life the

concluded.
"Not only proper but nec
essary" were the words with
which Dilliard described the
recent discussion of the ac

Activities committee by
Herb Probasco, Daily Nebras

"The University should be
proud that the student news

involved other students," con-,
