Eugene: not a very pretty place
for the chronic allergy sufferer
Eugene can be one of the most
beautiful spots in Oregon dur
ing the summer with its acres of
green grass and rows of
blossom-filled trees, but first
time visitors should beware
because they may have to pay a
price for the scenery, says Or.
lames Jackson. Student Health
Center director.
Eugene is one of the largest
commercial grass seed pro
ducers in the country and.
therefore, one of the worst
places for allergy sufferers, he
says.
Heavy concentrations of grass
pollens, the most widespread
allergy culprit, come from the
grassfields north of Eugene and
become trapped here, lingering
in the air from about mid-spring
to mid-summer.
In addition to this. Eugene is
the home of a wide variety ol
tree pollens. Jackson says.
“They’ve planted just about
every tree known to man here,
so no matter what allergy you
have, you'll find it here," he
says.
In fact. Jackson says that a lot
of people who never had
allergies before may experience
them when they come to
Eugene because of the variety
and amount of pollens in the
air.
t %
Jackson says that over the
years young adults can become
sensitized to certain things,
such as grass pollen or dust,
and then finally suffer a reac
tion when exposed to high con
centrations of it. »
More that 10 percent of the
University population has
significant problems with
allergies, which can hamper
their abilities to study or even
go to class during the pollen
season.
Them am. however, certain
ways to avoid or lessen the ef
fects of allergies. Jackson says.
The first solution is simply
avoidance. }ackson says that it
may be best to |ust stay inside
and keep the window closed on
warm sunny days.
If this does not sound appeal
ing, them are many over-the
counter antihistimines. such as
Chlor Trimeton and Actifed.
that may alleviate some allergy
Symptoms, iackson says.
The Health Center also can
supply prescription medica
tions. Allergy injections
sometimes are recommended
for. severe allergy sufferers to
build up their sensitivity to cer
tain pollens, but Jackson says
this is a long-term process tak
ing anywhere from three to six
months to complete.
Jackson says that for most
people this may only be a tem
porary problem because grass
seed „ concentrations tend to
level off in July, reducing
allergy symptoms.

Camp and conference visitors
help keep the University alive
By Andrea Skufca
Of tfe* t” w»n)rt
The more than 7,600 hundred people who
will attend conferences and sports camps this
summer wiil do more than learn a new skill or
(lain some new ideas ~ they wtU help sub
sidize student housing costs for next year, said
Matt Schermerhorn, University conference
manager.
in addition, the influx of tourists and
students helps area businesses maintain hours
and revenues during the summer months
"For every $100,000 we bring in during
the summer, w« reduce student room-and
board fees 3 percent each year." said
Schermerhorn. who predicts the University
housing department will gross between
$650,000 to $700,000. which is down from last
year's $8041.000 gross.
By providing housing, food, meeting and
catering services, the housing department
brings in between $8,000 and $15,000 each
conference, Schermerhorn said, adding that
those figures do not reflect EMU food sales and
catering revenues.
Duane Partain, EMU food service director,
said the EMU caters a variety of receptions
