Oslo Doctor Ends Look At KU Health Service
A six weeks visit at Watkins Hospital, where he has observed how a student health service is operated in the United States, will end Wednesday for a Norwegian doctor.
Dr. Aage Haagenrud, who arrived at the University Sept. 5, will visit student health services, state boards of health and hospitals in the Western and Northern sections of the country before he returns to Oslo Dec. 15, where he is director of student health at the University of Oslo.
The doctor is here on a Fulbright grant, which was awarded him after Dr. Ralph L. Canuteson, director of the Student Health Service, arranged an exchange program between the University of Oslo and KU. Dr. Canuteson will leave Dec. 8 for his visit to Norway.
While here Dr. Haagenrud has maintained an office at Watkins Hospital and has observed how the officials and attendants care for the patients. He was especially interested in the physical examinations given all new students during orientation week.
Have Clinic In Oslo
Have Clinic In Oslo Citing differences in the student health services at the two schools, Dr. Haagenurd said there is no student hospital at the University of Oslo, "but we have a clinic where we employ two full-time nurses and three part-time doctors to treat minor ailments."
"We give all students medica examinations, similar to those given here, during the first week of school," the doctor said. The University of Oslo has an enrollment of about 5,000 students.
Dr. Hagenrud said there is no student housing on the campus in connection with the university. Students who are not residents of Oslo live in private homes or student dorms.
"Because there is a compulsory health insurance in Norway, students with an illness which the clinic is not equipped to treat may enter city hospitals in Oslo or the university medical school hospital which corresponds to the KU Medical Center." Dr. Hagenrud said.
Free Hospital Care
Students are charged about $4 a semester for the insurance. Families in Norway pay about $70 a year for the health insurance which entitles them to free hospital and medical treatment.
Dr. Haagenrud has become an enthusiastic football fan.
"Although I have seen the soccer football games played in Norway, I had never attended an American football game until this fall, and I did not miss a KU home game."
The doctor visited the National Tuberculosis Assn. offices and the Department of Health in New York City when he arrived there Aug. 24. While in this area, he visited the State Board of Health in Topeka and the Medical School in Kansas City, Kan. He attended staff and committee meetings of the Kansas Tuberculosis and Health Assn., in Wichita.
He returned Thursday from a week-long World Medical Assn. meeting in Cuba to which he was a delegate from Norway.
"I am quite satisfied, especially from the medical standpoint, with my visit here, and I will try to apply the knowledge I have gained to our system in Norway," Dr. Haagenrud said.

KU Entomologist To Add Bee Species

Dr. Michener returned Saturday from the University of Nebraska, where he studied a collection of South American bees gathered by Lawrence Bruner, a professor of entomology at Nebraska U. in 1900.
Professor Bruner and entomologists at Nebraska had neglected the collection which was still largely intact when Dr. Michener went to study it.
