Unknown Diabetic's
By Wendy Roger
While only 25 students at
the University are k n o w n
diabetics, there are approxi
mately 135 diabetic students
on campus, estimates Dr.
Kenneth D. Rose, chief of
the medical laboratories
and research at the Uni
versity Health Service.
. Diabetes is one of the eas
iest diseases to detect, yet,'
according to Dr. Rose, the
medical profession has been
universially unsuccessful in
mass screening to discover
the disease, largely because
of public apathy.
Ranking seventh in the
list of causes of death by
disease, diabetes in its
early or, low grade stages
may be present with no
warning signals at all. V
"People remain apathetic
because, in thefirst place,
they don't want to be sick,
and in the second place,
when they do feel good,
they see no need of medi
cal attention," said Dr.
Rose.

50,000 Foreign Students
Educators Fear
Anti-US Feelings
More than 50,000 foreign students are now studying in
this country and there is danger that many of them may
become anti-American, a group of ranking educators said
Monday.
They said the selection of these students, their prepara
tions and their programs must be drastically overhauled if
the United States is to meet "the greatest educational chal
lenge of the age."
This report was given to
the' annual meeting of the
American Association of Land
i y-..n J c.-. it-I
urani colleges uuu oiaic tiu-
versifies bv Dean John Mc
Connell of Cornell University,
chairman of the 11-man study
group.
The meeting in Kansas City
is being attended by some
15-20 representatives of the
University including Chancel
lor Clifford Hardin, Adam
Breckenridge, dean of facul
ties; Walter Militzer, dean of
the College of Arts and Sci
ence; Walter Beggs, dean of
Teachers College; Elvin Fro
lik, dean of the College of
Agriculture and Merk Hobson,
dean of the College of Engi
neering. Foreign Students
'All evidence points to in
creasing numbers of foreign
students coming to the United
States," the report said.
The report included this
quotation from the recent best
seller, "A Nation of Sheep,"
by William Lederer:
"Wt often fail to pick the
right students. On top of that
we have the uncanny talent
for insulting the ones we do
invite. A frightenly large num
ber of foreign students are be
wildered and antagonized dur
ing their stay in the United
States. They seldom get to
know us for what we are.
Many foreign students be
come withdrawn for lack of
ability to speak English well
enough, the report said. Many
are confused about what is
expected of them in relation
ships with the opposite sex.
Racial Problems
"And despite our best ef
forts," the report noted, "Af
rican students will undoubt
edly encounter some form of
racial discrimination during
their stay in the United
States. ' ' '
The study group recom
mended that the problem be
met in part with federal
grants to provide: better
academic counseling and test
ing of foreign students to se
lect the right students and di
rect thera to suitable U.S. col
leges and universities; E n g
lish language centers in for
eign countries and in the
United States for all foreign
students needing instruction;
and orientation programs for
all foreign students, both at
home and in the United
States.

Dr. .Rose, "that we know
of untold diabetics gbing
around, we have the facil
ities for easy detection, yet
because of public apathy,
we can't, do the job."
"There is no way to force
a person to care for him
self," he .added, yet the
University Health Service
is offering every student at
the University a free chance
to be tested for the disease
which can lead to blindness,
heart disease, more rapid
hardening of the arteries,
cerebral hemorrhage, dia
betic coma, or even gan
grene in later stage's.
"These complications go
on insidiously when unde
tected," explained Dr.
Rose. That is why we want
to find the low grade clini
cally Inapparent diabetic.
A more severe diabetic will
be sick and go to a doctor."
Nov. 12-18 is "Diabetes
Week," and anyone may
pick up a free test kit for
the disease, which strikes
one in every 70 persons in

The disease which in

said.

Jack Goodwin, vice presi

closely with the Innocent's So

soonsors. said that 70 of the
27. students in the pilot proJ

"Many of these University
students have either accepted
positions in their sponsor's
business or work with him
part-time. One law student,
for example, is now preparing
briefs for his sponsor," Good

Evaluation
Evaluating some of the ad
vantages of the program,
Goodwin said. "A University
graduate, although steeped in
theory and text-book knowl
edge, has had little opportu

gains.
"The Protege Program
gives him the opportunity not
onlv to see first hand many
of the problems he will be
facing in business, but to ac
tually meet some of these
problems as he shares the
experiences of the sponsor in
business and social life,"
Goodwin said.
"The business or profes

added, "as he discovers the
student's modern theoretical
approach to problems ad
vanced today at tne univer

in telecasting the programs in
