Red tape delays search for Haskell's president
The final selection of a new president for Haskell Indian Junior College will be made at least one month later than originally announced, according to officials of the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington, D.C.
A replacement for Haskell President Wallace Gallucci, who will retire Dec. 31, was to have been named by Nov. 1. However, a final decision on the selection will be delayed at least a month, Gabe Paxton, deputy director of the BIA's office of Indian education programs, said yesterday.
The delay is a result of the selection process itself, which requires that an applicant be approved by various government officials and committees.
The bureau's servicing office has received 29 applications for the
position, according to Wanda Byrum, a personnel officer.
The applications were collected at the BIA's branch office in Muskogee, Okla., but they must be processed by the federal office, she said.
"We are responsible for rating and ranking the applications and for issuing certificates for those who are eligible for consideration," Byrum said.
The eligibility certificates will be forwarded to the office of Indian education programs, which in turn will send the names of the eligible candidates to the Haskell Board of Resents.
A review committee will narrow the field to three names and will submit their names to a list of interested education programs, who will make the final decision, Paxton said.
Medical Center stroke test given at lab
By LINDA ROSEWICZ Staff Reporter
Smokers with high blood pressure and hereditary history of vascular disease now can undergo a safe, painless screening at the University of Kansas Medical Center to detect the threat of a stroke.
Staff Reporter
The Vascular Laboratory, which opened early last month at the Med Center, tests high-risk patients, assesses the progress of vascular diseases and finds non-surgical ways to prevent strokes.
A stroke is a sudden attack of paralysis, often accompanied by a disturbance of speech and thought. It is caused by a brain hemorrhage, vascular damage, clotting or insufficient blood circulation.
Karen Wright, a licensed practical nurse who operates the lab with one
other nurse, said there were many people who came in for the vascular testing.
WRIGHT SAID a doctor or clinic had to recommend the patient before testing could be conducted.
"Most of the people we test here are more than 50 years old and have suffered previous strokes, heart attacks or other vascular diseases," she said. "But people of all ages who smoke a lot or suffer from hypertension are also prime candidates for our testing."
A pencil-shaped instrument, the "doppler," is the primary testing tool. The doppler is held on the skin above an artery or vein to send high-frequency sound waves into the vessel.
According to Wright, the process works much like the use of sonar waves in detecting submarines. After a sound wave hits an obstruction, possibly a clot in a vessel, an echo is transmitted. The various frequencies of the echoes are evaluated for evaluation by laboratory advisers.
The recorded echoes are analyzed to determine the velocity and pressure of blood flow to the extremities and to detect clots in the veins—or bulldogs in the carotid (neck) arteries.
"If there is a blockage or narrowing in a vessel, the testing equipment sends out a high-pitched whine that reminds me of Martian landings in science fiction movies. Wright said. The frequency of the whine call much blockage there is and the approximate location of it."
THE ADVISERS give their test findings to the patient and his doctor, if necessary, recommend non-
surgical methods to prevent a possible stroke. For example, if a person smokes a lot, they re-commense the stop. If neurological problems show up, medicine is prescribed.
"We don't give the last word to operate in this lab," Wright said. "Our purpose is to detect the threat and stop it before on happen."
happens when taking tests from 15 minutes for a single artery to 90 minutes for an extensive survey of the vascular system. The test does not break the skin, and no radiation or X-ray is used.
"This type of testing is a major breakthrough for those people who are prone to strokes," Wright said. "Patients no longer have to worry about the pain and anxiety of the other type of testing for strokes, the arteriogram."
