VD, cervix cancer linked
By PAULA JOLLY
Medical Center Reporter
A venereal disease second only to gonorrhea in frequency has been associated with cancer of the cervix in women and damage to newborn infants, Daniel R. K. Fuchs, professor of medicine in infectious disease at the KU Medical Center, said recently.
The disease is caused by herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). Hinphorn said.
The association between HSV-2 and cancer of the cervix was discovered by investigators at a university with HSV-2 in women with cancer of the cervix with the antibody level in women without cancer of the cervix. Women with cancer of the cervix had lower levels of antibodies against the virus. Hinrichs said
HSV-2 can damage a newborn child if the mother is actively infected with the disease. Hintnach said. The newborn may get the herpes virus in the form of encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) and may die, he said.
Hirthorn estimated there were 200,000 cases of HSV-2 in the United States last
Raymond Schwegler, physician at
Watkins Hospital, said 37 cases of HSV-2 had been reported among KU students in the study.
Kay Kent, administrator of the Douglas County Public Health Department, said it was difficult to say how many cases of HSV-2 had been treated in the county because separate records weren't kept for the disease.
The disease is characterized by blister-like lesions on and around the genital area, HI.
Another herpes virus, HSV-1, causes cold sores on the lips. It is also found in about 15 per cent of the venereal herpes cases, Hinthorn said.
Venereal herpes may be detected through an abnormal Pan smear. Hinthorn said.
Another detection method involves growing the virus from a lesion sample in a special culture medium, Hintorn said. The test has the facilities for the culture test, he said.
An individual who has contacted HSV-2 often will have a recurrence of symptoms because the virus is extremely difficult to get rid of once it is in the body, he said.
Hinthorn said it was hard to tell why some
people had a recurrence of the disease while others didn't.
Schwegler said that it was possibly a matter of immunity.
"It's probably a matter of controlling the other side," he said. "However, this is just a guess."
One method of treatment for HSV-2 would be to develop a vaccine consisting of a weakened virus.
However, it may not be a good idea to give the weakened virus as a vaccine because the virus could possibly cause cancer of the cervix. he said.
Schwegler said a treatment used recently at Watkins Hospital involved painting the lesions with an organic dye and then exposing them to light.
The treatment has been controversial because some doctors thought it could possibly stimulate the development of cancer.
“A recent publication from the American Cancer Society recommends this treatment,” Schwegler said. “There is no proof that the treatment could cause cancer.”
Both Hinthon and Schweigel said that HSV-2 venereal disease wasn't new.

The Council of Chief Academic Officers (COCAO) has yet to develop specific recommendations to eliminate duplication of course offerings at the undergraduate institutions, Institutes, Ambrose Saricks, vice chancellor for academic affairs, said recently.
Course duplication changes stalled
Saricks, representative on the council for the University of Kansas, attended the monthly COCAO meeting last week. He said he thought COCAO carried considerable weight as a discussion group that formulation resulted in improvements of state institutions.
The members of OCOA want good undergraduate programs made available with the money the state now pays, Sarkis said. The council is now having difficulty accommodations because there are so many undergraduate programs to consider, be said.
The main topic of discussion now is duplication of course offerings at the six state institutions at the undergraduate level, Saricks said. The council is to decide if too much duplication within the state exists. If this is true, COCA will suggest
Federal community funds spark citizens squabble
Citizens expressed concern last night that Community Development money would fund the Haskell Loop rather than "people programs."
The controversy over priorities developed at the first in a series of three public meetings designed to provoke citizen action and participation for Community Development funds.
The Community Development Act
Development and Urban Renewal program
Mayor Jack Rose said the City of Lawrence would receive $292,000 a year for the amount of three additional years under the new program. He said the city must make an application for the funds by April 15 but has not yet set target data for submission of the application.
She said the purpose of the act was to provide decent housing and a suitable living environment for all residents, and increase their quality of life. The people of low and moderate income levels.
MARSHA EBAUGH, OF Obfinger-Smith, a consulting firm hired to write the application, said that a variety of projects were eligible under the act.
By JILL DOLES City Reporter
She said the act wasn't designed for physical, rather than social service, purposes. She explained that the programs under Housing and Urban Development are to be physical, but projects of Health, Education and Wellfare tended to be social.
City Reporter
SHE PROPOSED A community coordinating center that would coordinate existing city and county agencies providing services.
Delores Tolar, 2714 Ridge Court, said she thought 10 per cent of the funds was a reasonable amount that could be used for social services. She said that she accepted the fact that the city would probably use the money for the Haskell loop.
Rose said the Haskell loop project had a legitimate place in the considerations. He said it would benefit all citizens of the city and its surrounding sections from the residential neighborhoods. It would also remove the traffic from the neighborhood.
Rose said that he didn't know where the money for the project would come from but that it wasn't unrealistic to think that the city wouldn't complete the project.
Glen West, representing the Chamber of Commerce, proposed improvement of the north-central business district in the areas between the Kansas River and 7th Street
CAROL BOONE, DIRECTOR of the Consumer Protection Agency, said she would like to expand the agency so it would be available and accessible to all citizens of Lawrence. She also proposed an education program on consumer programs.
Betty Mallonee, representing the North Side of her neighborhood, proposed beautifulness of North 21st Street. She said that it was an entranceway into the city and that she would like to see it clean
Many people at the meeting were concerned with the housing situation and wished the money would be used for improvement of housing.
Ebaugh said the city had more housing problems than could be solved, so the said the act would provide for loans and grants to removelate but wouldn't allow for housing purchases.
GENE KEAKE, REPRESENTING the Douglas County Child Care Association, said he wanted funding for his service. Other citizens in the audience also expressed the desire and need for child care services.
Keane said child care facilities would ease the housing situation by allowing families to spend money otherwise spent on child care or rent.
Commissioner Nancy Hambleton said it was going to be hard to decide which programs were included in the application. Most people are going to be disappointed, she said.
"There are tools but not enough," she said.
The next public meeting on the use of Community Development funds will be Dec. 16 at 4:00 p.m.

COCAO's goal is to get the recommendations to the President's Council, made up of the presidents from each of the states. The president said. After the President's Council has made necessary revisions in the COCAO report, it will send the report to the Board of Regents. The Regents make the final decision on the recommendations in their guidelines for state schools.

The council agrees that a certain number of duplication is necessary, Särkis said. Each state institution must offer basic maths, mathematics, science and English, he said.

"You have to have a certain amount of dedication to pursue undergirded degrees," Sarickes said.
6th & Missouri Lawrence, KS.
The next COCAO meeting will be Dec. 5 and 6 at the University of Kansas to continue the discussion of recommendations for undergraduate programs.
According to the 1972 Board of Regents Guidelines for Increasing Academic Efficiency, "These disciplines not only contribute to the intellectual, personal and social development characteristic of the educated individual, but also serve as the roots of specialization in any academic or professional field."
Saricks said COCAO had no specific deadline for its report.
