New name proposed for Flint
There is a name change in the works for Flint Hall that may meet some resistance from students.
A proposal to change the name to Stauffer Hall was made last month by the faculty of the School of journalism. However, the proposed change, which would honor the late Oscar S. Stauffer, former chairman of the Kansas Board of Education, would be announced by the William Allen White Foundation, is not well liked among students.
In a random survey yesterday, 15 out of 25 students opposed the change, seven did not care, and only three were in favor of it.
About half of the students polled were journalism students.
"Just because the guy gave big bucks doesn't mean they should change it," said Gary Covey, a graduate student in journalism.
Stauffer's donations to the school of journalism, including a $1 million gift in 1979 which helped make possible a renovation of the hall, are not the only reason to bind the proposal), said Del Drinkman, dean of the journalism school.
"There will be feelings like that because that's the initial association people make," he said. "There are a lot of reasons and they're not all mine."
Among them is the change of the name of the school to account for the expanded interest in the broadcast end of journalism."
Stauffer was the president and chairman of the board of Stauffer Communications Inc., a group with both newspaper and broadcast interests in 11 states. He also established the Oscar S. Stauffer Professorship in Journalism, created the Distinguished Service Citations awarded annually by the University and Alumni Association, and set up journalism scholarships.
"It was the feeling of the faculty that Stauffer was the number one person who had more to do with it than anyone else," Alen White School of Journalism. "Brinkman said,
"I have some mixed feelings myself about the name change, but there is a precedent with other buildings on campus. I'm sure there's something wrong with it, but I don't see any problem with it (the proposal's passage)," he said.
The proposal currently is before the University advisory committee headed by Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor for the Lawrence campus, Brinkerchurch College. The chancellor Gene A. Budig and then to the Board of Regents for final approval.

Ragweed leaves sufferers breathless
Wheezes, sneezes ahead
by MATTHEW BARTEL
Staff Reporter
For the more than 10 percent of the population who suffer from hay fever the beginning of the fall semester is also the beginning of the most uncomfortable part of the year—ragged season.
Martin Wollman, director of Student Health Services, said the season lasts from late August until the first fall freeze. During this time, he said, Watkins Hospital can expect to treat about 15-20 cases each week.
One treatment that has few side effects is a process called desensitization. A series of pollen doses are administered over a period of time to help the body build tolerance. However, this procedure must be administered by an allergist, and is not always effective.
The ragweed plant is native to most parts of the United States, and its pollen is found nearly everywhere during this time of year.
The symptoms of ragged allergy can range from itchy, watery eyes to violent sneezing. In many cases, the itching can lead to infection if it is continually scratched, and nasal congestion which often accompanies a difficult breathing, especially at night. Wollman said.
Watkins has a full-time allergy nurse.
To handle the large load of cases.
"Different people have different sleeping habits," he said. "If they're used to breathing through the nose, they can have fits, or if they open their mouth, they wake up with a changed mouth."
In some cases, the Eustachian tubes between the ears and the throat can swell up, and may affect the person's hearing. In severe
Treatment of allergies remains limited to relief of the symptoms since there is no cure. Many prescription medicines are available, including decongestants or anti-histamines. However, some people may develop a tolerance or serious side effects to these drugs.
cases, Wallman said, the sneezing can be so violent that it causes back or muscle pain, or may even break a rib.
One such medicine is cortisone, a drug that simulates a hormone produced in the body, Cortisone is powerful, and can help bring relief in some cases, Wollman said, but it also has more serious side effects. Cortisone can suppress the body's production of cortisol, or it can cause ulcers.
"There is not a medication without any side effects," Wollman said. "But with medicine, the more good it does, the stronger the chemical, and also the side effects can be more serious."
"Most of the time you just have to make a trade-off," Wallman said. "I can't afford to be drowsy, but I can't afford to be sneezing, so I trade off and don't take any medication."
