This fall, Beck, Overland Park junior, will spend less time working on her projects by hand and will spend more time using one of the 18 architecture studios. Computer stations with network access and computer programs will be available in the studios.
Each studio offers computers with programs including Netscape, Microsoft and AUTOCAD, one of the major architectural drawing programs, said Tim Gillessen, computer specialist for the Architecture Computer Resource Center. The studios also offer a common workstation that
Alison Beck spends many late hours working on her architecture projects in Marvin Hall.
"The studios are good because they give students the opportunity to use some of the latest architecture equipment." Beck said.
The department also is working to set up more computer locations throughout the school, which will give students greater access to the AutoCAD program. Locations include the architecture.
The department is working to bring up two servers that will allow internal communication throughout the department. Gillesse said the Website servers would allow students to have inbound access to the studio computers. The new technology will offer a means of convenience for the students, he said.
will allow students to transfer information from one studio to the next.
Flatbed scanners, large-format printers for drafting, slide scanners, CD burners and the Design Workshop program are other additions that the architecture school has added to its studios. Gillesse said.
"We are constantly in a state of upgrade here," Gillesse said. "By upgrading, we can provide the students with much better technology. We take an incremental approach so that we always have a staple of moving technology."

Remedies sought for allergy struggles

With seasonal allergies in full swing, ragweed, pollen and mold are a nightmare for some students.
"We're seeing a lot of students this month with allergy-related symptoms including itchy eyes, runny nose, congestion and tightness in the chest," said Randall Rock, Watkins Memorial Health Center chief of staff.
Ragweed allergies continue until there is a temperature freeze, which is usually in October, said Krishna Schmidt, physician assistant for K.C. Allergy & Asthma Associates, P.A., in Overland Park.
However, it can be an all-year struggle for those allergic to mold.
Unless you get prescription drugs for seasonal allergies, over-the-
"Molds tend to be higher after rain and humid weather, so spring and fall we see mold counts rising," she said. "Molds can even occur in the winter, especially if we get a lot of moisture and then it warms up for awhile."

or indoor dust and mold allergies.
For indoor dust and mold allergies, vacuum carpets, clean regularly and change your air filter every two months.

Dust allergies can be another problem for students. Schmidt said that pillowcases and mattress encasements could be purchased to protect against dust mites and suggested washing them every week or two
Schmidt suggested that students see a physician specializing in allergies when symptoms interfered with everyday life and are not controlled with medicine. If medicines are interfering or if sinus infections are recurrent, she said an allergy physician could do skin testing to identify specific allergies.
with other bedding. She said cloth or vinyl encasements could be purchased through an allergy company or a discount store.
"Then that one area where you spend eight hours a day — one third of your life — is a haven from allergens," she said.
An air purifier for the bedroom is another way to filter out allergens. Schmidt said the air purifier should run 24 hours a day in the bedroom with the bedroom door closed.
