Flowers and trees mean sneezes
By VANESSA HERRON
Staff Reporter
Most people can't think of anything sweeter than the smell of freshly mowed grass.
But the thousands of hay fever sufferers at the University of Kansas can probably think of at least one nasal spray.
Spring is the season for flowers and trees But for hay fever sufferers, it is also the season for ithvey eyes and soggy Kleenexes.
"They're cutting the grass everywhere I go," said one sufferer, Pat Weems, Kansas City, Kan., junior. "I'm going to stay inside."
Hay fever sufferers can be bothered year round by dust or animal dander. But hay fever is mainly a seasonal annoyance.
From April to August the pollen count increases and so does the number of allergy-related cases (receded at Watkins Memorial Hospital in Walnau, director of the hospital, said).
Although Watkins does not know the exact number of allergy sufferers at the University, Wollmann estimated that 10 to 15 percent of all students had allergies.
ALLERGY SYMPTOMS CAN include itchy eyes, rashes, puffiness, asthma and hay fever. A reaction can be triggered by makeup, makeup, insect bites or even sunburn.
The symptoms result when antibodies, which are supposed to attack dangerous foreign substances in the body, wage a midirected war between relatively harmless bacteria.
When an allergen enters the bloodstream, antibodies attack and release chemicals.
including histamine, that produce allergy symtoms.
But most sufferers can give a much simpler description of an allergy attack
"I just feel like I have a cold for months, a KU student said.
TO RELIEVE NASAL allergy symptoms, either prescription or over-the-counter antihistamines and decongestants are recommended.
But to fight the choking sensation that asthma causes, Wollmann said prescription drugs were preferred. The prescription drugs he said, but they also can cause side effects.
An allergy can be present for years before any symptoms are detected. Wollmannism is a rare disease of migrants from Northern Europe three to five years to develop allergies to North American foods.
"Most people tolerate them very well," he said, "but they may get drowsy or feel spacey."
Wollmann that only an allergist could positively identify an allergy. Once an allergy is diagnosed, its symptoms can usually be controlled.
If contact with a food or plant suddenly leads to a rash, itchy eyes or non-stop sneezing, the advice is stay clear of it. Then see an allergist.
Then, even freshly mowed ragweed can be faced without fear, or a bottle of nasal spray.
State office to investigate alleged meeting violation
Acting on a complaint by a KU student, the attorney general's office will begin an investigation into allegations that Lawrence Mayor Ed Carter and City Commissioner Barkley Clark violated the state open record law, attending an Action 80 meeting April 10.
Action 80, a non-profit corporation, was formed last summer to develop plans for a downtown mall.
The law prohibits the majority of a quorum of a public body—two commissioners or lawrence—from having a closed meeting, which commission business is discussed.
The student who filed the complaint, Patti Hackney, Lawrence junior, said she thought that even if Smoot found that there was no violation of the law, her complaint would be public officials more aware of their responsibility to keep their deliveries open.

Israeli prof satisfied with peace talks
The Midearce peace process is moving along at a satisfactory pace, and the Middle East peace process will be with the parties involved, a former member of the Israeli government said yesterday.
By RICK HELLMAN Staff Renorter
Shimo Aviiner, former director-general of the university, served as professor of political science at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, was on campus yesterday as part of a program sponsored by the Israel Ministry.
AVINERI, WIO WAS a member of the Israeli negotiating team on trade between Israel and Egypt, and tended to forget that the West Bank autonomy plan now being negotiated by Hamas was unavoidable.
"These are more complex problems than drawing a line on a map," Avnieri said. "Thirty years of war are not being dismantled in three months."
the first stage of a lengthy process of achieving peace in the area.
Avineri said Israel and Egypt already had made great sacrifices to initiate the peace process.
"Both sides have paid quite a lot for something intangible. His has given up not only the right to rule but relations with the rest of the Arab world, from whom they are now almost totally excluded."
"In this context, I am not so concerned about deadlines like May 26," he said. "We have really come a very long way, further into the process and I will ever be accomplished in our lifetimes."
"IN TWO YEARS," Avnieri said, "israel and Egypt have moved from a state of war, belligerency and con- dition to one of normal, peaceful relations."
Avineri said the peace process might look slow to some observers, but it was actually moving along rapidly.
"The point is not to have a quick solution, but one with which all the parties in the area can live." Avneri said.
"AUTONOMY IS a half-way house, and on the basis of that experience, the future of the West Bank will be decided."
"If they're not going to join, they're going to spoil the whole bloody thing and they can just stay in their camps."
Aviniere said he hoped the Palestinians in the area would join the peace process at that point.
