Everyone knows the type of person who gets veneeral disease. The women are promiscuous; the males are found in dark bars and alveus.
Not so, according to Martin Wollmann, director of Watkins Hospital. Wollmann said last week that all kinds of people have been treated for venereal diseases at Watkins.
In "1794 we had from 50 to 60 cases of positive gonorrhea, which were split about half and half between the men and women," he said. "There were many fewer with syphilis; probably no more than eight or nine."
Wollmann said that although Watkins tested many more than the actual number of positive cases, the rate of venereal infection is higher of giant proportions on campus."
Kay Kent, director of the Douglas County Health department, said there had been a great increase in venereal disease in Douglas County.
Kent said there were 123 cases of all types of general disease reported to the health department.
In 1974, however, 257 cases of gonorrhea and 20 cases of syphilis were reported at the University Hospital.
Kent said the national average for the disease was tending to remain stable rather than increase, and that Douglas County's increase was particularly high for this region.
She said statistics kept for Region Seven, which includes Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska, indicated a doubling in reported svilhill cases between 1973 and 1974.
Veneral disease, according to Wollmann,
should be broken down into the three main
types. Gonorrhea is a venereal disease carried by the microorganism gonococcus, which causes infection of the genitourinary tract and may result in some discharge. If untreated, gonorrhea can seriously affect membranes, especially those of the eye.
Syphilis is caused by a different microorganism, a spirochete, and can be passed genetically. Syphilis passes through several stages, and, if tainted, can cause infection and displacement of bones, muscles and nerve tissue.
A third type of venereal disease is an
infectious herpes. Herpes simplex II
virus, Wolmann-Jeppson virus
"It's a virus condition somewhat related to her injury, but not caused by the same thing," he said.
The chances of contacting a carrier of veneral disease are tremendously high, according to Marvin Cohen, Lawrence University. The chance of the disease fit no stereotype, he said.
One University of Kansas student, who asked to remain anonymous, said it was a great surprise to him when he found out he was the girlfriend his girlfriend reacted in the same manner.
"I was quite embarrassed at first," the woman said. "But then after you get treatment it's all over and you can just for it."
It was the first time either on had con-
tended to wait and both received prompt
treatment.
She said that she had little knowledge of the disease before and that counseling was her best tool.
Counseling and treatment are available at Watkins from Monday through Friday and at the Douglas County Health Department Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
The University of Kansas has built an impressive record in its higher education doctoral program, Kenneth E. Anderson, chairman of the department of administration, foundations and higher education (AFHE), said Monday.

Administrators commend AFHE
AFHE is a five-year-old program for graduate students to earn a doctorate in higher education. Seventeen students have completed the Ph.D. or Ed.D. work since the program began and about 50 more are now in the sequence.

"In recent years, the process of managing higher education schools has become a complex situation," said Jerry Hutchison, associate vice chancellor for Academic Services and staff. "The program acts as a training ground for later administration."

Major areas of study in AFHE entail at least 40 semester hours of work in higher education, including a thesis. Basic courses are taught by seminars and individual study.
Candidates for admission to the program must have at least a 3.3 GPA in graduate level work, strong verbal and quantitative scores on the Graduate Record Examination and departmental recommendation.

"The placement is pretty good." Anderson said. "All but two are now placed in college jobs. We don't prepare them for specific jobs. We prepare them in the field of education. The job market is tight, but we've got a good record to overcome that."
Contacts Anderson has acquired over the years have helped in placement, he said.
"Everything is individual," said James Henry, assistant registrar and doctoral candidate in the program. "If you have the credential you can walk right into a dean's position."
program include vice presidency at both Johnson County and Butler County Community colleges, a professorship at Northern Missouri State College, a position with the Department of Health, Education Johnson County and the chairmanship of the Department of Continuing Education at Washburn University in Topeka.
Six men teach in the higher education program. Besides Anderson and Hutchison, they are George B. Smith, former vice chancellor and dean of the School of Education; James K. Hitt, associate Institute of Research and Planning; Keith Watson, director of facility planning and operations; and Chancellor Archie R. Dykes.
"I have a high regard for the faculty," Henry said. "They know education inside out."
"I teach several courses as well as serve
on the masters and their committees," Hutch-
son said.
semester on the college student. I've taught the community junior college course."
Hutchison also teaches one undergraduate course a year.
Anderson, who returned to faculty status in 1969 after serving 16 years as dean of the School of Education, said he had thought his duties would decrease then.
"I thought I was stepping down from the
frying pan to a part-time leisure job," he said. "I'm working harder now than ever before. It's fun, but it's a hell of a lot of work. I carry the brunt of it all."
"Higher education is a new field in graduate work. It hasn't been in vogue yet. It's a study of higher education and the work of science. God knows we got a lot of problems."
