Allergies expected by Watkins
By DON WALKER
Allergic reactions will become more frequent among KU students as campus elms and grasses begin pollinating and warm winds circulate dust.
A student may be allergic to either or both of these, Mrs. Annette Bee, Watkins Hospital clinic nurse, said, but the specific allergen—allergy-causing a genet—has many possibilities.
"An allergy is a highly individual thing," Mrs. Bee said. "The symptoms of rash and sinus drainage can be caused by one or more allergens."
THE STUDENT WHO does not know the cause of his misery must visit an allergist and undergo skin
Once the allergen is discovered, Mrs. Bee said, the allergist writes a prescription for the necessary resistance-producing injections. These can be prepared and administered at Watkins Hospital but cannot be filled over the counter by a pharmacist.
tests for as many as 200 different allergens, she said. Watkins Hospital does not have facilities for the tests;
Allergy shots are given at Watkins Hospital on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays between 8 and 11:30 a.m. and from 2 to 4:30 p.m.
The student who first experiences an allergy in the pollinating season will probably find little relief in the shots, she said.
"WE RESTICT THE SHOTS to these times," Mrs. Bee said, since a physician is here to cope with
"It takes several months to build up antibodies to an allergen," she said, "so a student would have to begin taking shots in the fall and increasing the dosage slowly until spring when the dosage is cut back."
ANTIHISTAMINE sprays are a good source of relief for less severe cases, she said.
any reaction to the injection that might occur."
There is little chance allergy-free students will meet any material so foreign as to initiate an allergic reaction during their vacations over the break, Mrs. Bee said.
"KU is in a middle ground between allergens from the East and West," she said, "and students from around here will not run into anything they haven't already lived with."
Tau Sigma symposium
SUA Bahai forum set
Dance can notate sports
Bu JOHN MARSHALL
In the future, theater lovers will be able to see KU basketball games replayed on stage.
Dance notation was the central theme of the fourth annual Tau Sigma dance symposium held in Robinson gymnasium Saturday.
Notation, explained K. Wright Dunkley, professor of dance at Oregon University, is a system of writing dance movement.
"DANCING USED to be a non-literary art form," Dunkley said, "but now, we have a system of recording dancers' movements."
Not only are dancers' movements being recorded, but anything that moves can now be captured in writing. Dunkley said.
Dunkley used sports to emphasize his point.
"IN THE FUTURE, actors will be able to re-create basketball games, golf, and tennis matches, track meets and all other sports events," Dunkley said.
Dunkley said he has a friend in Illinois who is notating the mating dance of the jumping spider.
Notation is also being used in the sciences, Dunkley said, with the most recent advances
being made in recording astronauts' movements in space.
"WE WANT TO BRING to the campus the same kind of art forms in the dance that other classical works do." Dunkley said.
Prof. Dunkley is mainly interested in dance notation, and promoting a very active program to train dance notators.
Right now, all the original choreography from Broadway is being notated so that original choreography, like the original script, Dunkley said, may be brought to the college campus.
Eventually, Dunkley said, dancers will be able to take home a score and memorize it as actors and actresses memorize their lines.
"It interested us to go out and learn more about this new art form so we can present it at KU." Miss Keller said.
Kathy Keller, Los Altos, Calif., junior and president of Tau Sigma, said everyone who attended seemed to enjoy the symposium.
ABOUT 120 PEOPLE from seven colleges and five Kansas high schools attended the symposium.
Dunkley said he will spend the summer in Alaska notating Indian dances.
The SUA Religious Forum will feature discussions on the Bahai faith at its meeting 7 p.m. Monday, March 27, in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
"The Bahai Faith and Today's World" is the topic of guest speaker Sam Jackson's lecture. Jackson, a Bahai, is professor of speech at Iowa State Teachers College.
The Bahai faith is a fast spreading religion which originated in Persia 124 years ago. Bahai are now located in 300 countries. In the U.S. there are several thousand and in Lawrence there are 20 Bahai.
Everyone is invited to attend this informative meeting.

Is there a best glass for beer?
With some beers maybe the glass doesn't matter. But when the beer is Budweiser, our brewmaster hold strong views.
"I like a glass will plenty of room," he says. "Size is more important than shape. A big glass, say one that'll hold a full bottle, is best."
A big glass gives Budweiser a chance to show off . . . lets you pour it straight down the middle to get a full collar of foam. (Those tiny bubbles are the only beer bubbles in America that come from the natural carbonation of Beechwood Ageing.) Another thing about a big glass: it lets you quaff the beer. And who wants to sip, when the beer tastes as hearty as Budweiser?
That's about the size of it! Choose any kind of glass you want . . . as long as it's big enough. (Of course, we have our own opinion on the best beer for the glass.)
Budweiser.
