Bids will be taken on new med. building
The KU Endowment Association will accept bids April 2 for the construction of a clinical pharmacology research laboratory at the University of Kansas Medical Center, according to Irvin Youngberg, executive secretary of the association.
The building, to be at the southwest corner of 38th and Cambridge Streets in Kansas City, will provide space for research under the direction of Dr. Daniel L. Azarnoff to study the factors affecting the responses of drugs, poisons and medicines.
The laboratory, costing about $160.000, is to be completed in the late fall and will be leased by the Endowment Association to the research program.
The association also has under construction a $225,000 addition to
the Maurice L. Breidenthal Communicable Diseases Center which was built at the Medical Center in 1931. This project, to be finished by September, will provide additional space for the Center, a division of the U.S. Public Health Service.
Two similar buildings recently have been completed by the Association on the Lawrence campus. A pharmaceutical chemistry laboratory was occupied in September by Dr. Takeru Higuchi, Regents professor, and his associates and students in pharmaceutical chemistry. A second laboratory and office building, also located in the area west of 19th and Iowa Streets, was occupied Feb. 1 by the U.S. Geological Survey.
Overexertion, not mono is reason for being tired
This time of year weary students often complain about having mono, but chances are they're just working, or playing, too much.
Like any other virus, mononucleosis occurs more frequently during the winter and spring months, but there is no time when the disease is very widespread. A student who feels tired all the time may think he has mono, but often he is just exhausted, Dr. Raymond A. Schwegler, director of student health, said.
Mononucleosis is suspected when fever, sore throat and enlarged lymph nodes are present. A diagnosis is made from a study of the patient's blood. The white blood cell count is usually high and there is a relative increase in the number of lymphocytes, corpuscles formed in the tissue of the lymph glands.
Mono occurs predominantly in people from 10 to 35 years of age, but it may appear at any age. Younger people are affected more frequently because they have not built up an immunity to the disease as older people may have, Schwegler said.
"Mono is not a highly contagious disease. There are sometimes two or three persons a week who come to the hospital with mono, but never a large number from any one living group," Schwegler said.
Recent medical research proves mononucleosis is caused by a virus, but the type of virus and a specific therapy for the disease is not yet known. Schwegler said.
Mono usually lasts from 2 to 14 days, but it may persist for several weeks. Rest and a good diet usually help the patient feel more comfortable during this time.
Wescoe's father dies
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe left about noon today for Allentown, Pa., where he will attend funeral services Wednesday for his father, C. Herbert Wescoe, 84, who died Sunday morning after a brief illness.
Besides the chancellor, C. Herbert Wescoe is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Walter Benning, Washington, D.C., and two sons, Charles H. Jr., and John, both of Allentown.
Seminar draws CBS V-P
Theodore F. Koop, vice president of the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS), has been added to the list of principal speakers for the Seminar on Mass Media in a Free Society to be held at KU April 28-30 as a part of the William Allen White Centennial
Koop, who will represent the electronic communications media in the seminar, joins seminar leaders Carl Rowan, syndicated columnist; Bill Moyers, publisher of Newsday and former Presidential press secretary; advertising consultant Stan Freberg; Bosley Crowther, emeritus movie editor of the New York Times; and press analyst Ben Bagdikian.
Now chairman of the Joint Media Committee on News Coverage Problems, Koop is leading the fight against legal implementation of the entire Reardon report, recently adopted by the American Bar Association. The recommendations, if adopted in the states, would set tighter rules for crime-news coverage in the areas of pretrial news and trial coverage.
The joint media committee was organized by the professional societies and management associations of nearly all the various communications media.

In World War II, Koop, a lieutenant in the Navy, was named assistant to Byron Price, director of the wartime censorship office. He later appointed assistant director and then deputy director. He later wrote the book "Weapon of Silence," the story of censorship in the war.
The William Allen White Foundation has organized the seminar as a featured part of the celebration honoring the late Emporia newspaper editor whose grass roots wisdom drew national recognition seldom accorded a small-town journalist.
A 1928 journalism graduate of the University of Iowa with Phi Beta Kappa honors, Koop served the Associated Press in Des Moines, New Haven, New York City and Washington until 1941, when he joined the editorial staff of the National Geographic Society.
