No, it’s not a cold, it’s ALLERGIES. Many students come to the Willamette Valley never having experienced allergies, but with our vast amount of rainfall and foliage there O is no end to the amount of allergens fl oating around. The fact is; the Willamette Valley has been called the allergy capitol of the world – and for good reasons, because our grass pollen count can surpass any throughout the world on a given day.

Allergies are an abnormal reaction of the immune system to a harmless substance (allergen) within the environment. The allergens that we are exposed to in our environment are typically inhaled, swallowed or come in contact with our skin. Some of the substances that allergy sufferers are typically affected by in the Willamette Valley are: dust, pollen, animal dander, grass, trees, shrubs and fl owers. Since we live in an area fi lled with a wide variety of plant and animal life, it puts us at a higher risk for uncomfortable symptoms. These symptoms range from those that mimic a cold to those that need immediate attention due to a full body allergic reaction called anaphylaxis.

Mild allergy symptoms: • Skin Rash Typically these symptoms don’t spread to other parts of the body • Itchy, Water Eyes but can cause a lot of discomfort and sensitivity. • Nasal Congestion What does one do to alleviate these symptoms • Sneezing that two out of every 10 Americans suffer from?

If you cannot avoid the allergens, here are some helpful tips: If you are a student who suffers from seasonal allergies, there are a wide variety of treatment options offered • Wear a pollen mask - especially on dry, windy days; when cleaning house or doing yard work. Masks are available at your Health Center Pharmacy. through the University Health Center: • Wear sun glasses or eye glasses to create a physical barrier to reduce the • Consultations on asthmatic and allergic conditions amount of pollen that enters the eye. from board-certifi ed allergists. • Shower at night and shampoo hair to remove the pollen that accumulates • A nurse-run allergy clinic that can assess and administer allergy during the day. immunotherapy injections. • Wash your bed linens often, especially your pillow case. • A pharmacy that has over-the-counter allergy medications, prescription medications and pollen masks. • Don't let pets sleep with you. • Peer Health Educators giving out • Damp dust your room.

And next to the big, wide bodies on the line, his lean, muscular frame seemed a bit out of place. AThe unorthodox frame belonged to Frantz Dorsainvil, a rising senior forward for the Oregon basketball team, and it was his first time on a football field. “He wants to give football a shot,” coach Mike Bellotti said. “I’m excited to see what he can do. He’s the kind of body type you like to see out there.” Dorsainvil said that Bellotti has told him in passing this year that he should “come see him and talk,” about trying football. He said he never gave it much thought, until Monday in study hall when a member of the football team told him that tryouts were starting, and he should come out. Which Oregon football player? That’s just one of the many things that Dorsainvil will try to learn this week. turn to Football, page 13
