Health center
warns students
of hay fever
By Jan Knight-Sinner
Staff Reporter
One of the coolest and wettest Nebraska
Augusts on record may have delayed the hay
fever season somewhat, but doctors and nurses
at the University Health Center are worried
about the potential of this fall's allergy season.
They know that the rains that have delayed
pollination have given rise to a border of weeds
around the UNL campus. With one or two sunny
days, pollen from those weeds will be airborne
and will find its way to the nostrils of unsuspect
ing hay fever victims.
Nurse Jeannene Flotree of the health center's
allergy clinic said that many students think
their itchy eyes, runny nose and tickly throats
are caused by a flu.
"But if they stop to think about it," Flotree
said, "they might realize they get this 'cold'
every August, about the time the worst allergy
season of the year begins."
The "cold," she said, is probably hay fever and
will last through the entire pollen season, from
late summer until the first frost.
For S5, Flotree said, students can visit with
one of the health center's allergy specialists on
Wednesdays.
Dr. Fred Kiechel, one of two allergy specialists
at the allergy clinic, said that while treatment
must be tailored to the individual, there are
three basic routes to hay fever relief.
He said the sufferer can stay inside with win
dows closed and air conditioning on, take over-the-counter
or prescribed antihistamines and
decongestants, or go through a gradual desensit
ization process, a series of weekly allergy shots
taken over a period of two to three weeks.
The shots, Kiechel said, can end hay fever
problems completely or greatly reduce discom
fort. Nurse Mary Lou Golon of the allergy clinic
said that about 200 students came to campus
this year with their injection processes under
way. She said that the allergy clinic nurses will
give injections whether or not the allergy clinic
doctor has prescribed those injections. The fee
for this service, she said, is $2.50 a week.
Kiechel said that he's already prescribed hay
fever relief for many UNL students, but he
expects many more will need treatment as the
pollination season already two weeks late
progresses.
Business slow at State Fair
FAIR from Page 1
Candi Dickman of Lincoln said she only sold
two bottles of plain-label perfume opening day.
But after that day she said she was selling about
30 per day.
The plain-label perfume, which she called
Nockoffs, "is real perfume, but doesn't get the
nice packaging and advertising" as the perfumes
it imitates, such as Obsession and Giorgio.
"The public has reacted wonderfully," she
said. "We'll definitely be back next year."
Of the 1 1 exhibitors interviewed at the fair,
only one said he "might not be back next year."
The others said they would come back.
Rick Armstead, who was selling Zoodas Party
shorts with beverage holsters, said business was
slow.
He said that on the average he presented his
product to two people per hour. Sales were less
than that, he said.
"We were so bored that we made a wreath of
(helium) balloons across the aisle," he said.
Putens said many of the 550 exhibits were not
there to sell products. Many provided informa
tion or a service, he said.
By Tuesday most exhibitors would be gone,
Putens said.
Job Fair called a success
By Kari Hulac
Staff Reporter
"A wonderful experience" were the words one
student wrote on the questionnaire to describe
Friday's Second Annual UNL Part-Time Job Fair
at the Nebraska Union.
"People are really interested," said Emily
Frazier, a Job Fair organizer. "We had 300 people
in the first couple of hours. I think it is a suc
cess." Most of the students who filled out question
naires said the fair either lived up to or exceeded
their expectations. Some complained they didn't
have enough time to visit all the employers that
interested them.
Junior Tom McMahon was a little disappointed.
"I was hoping that applications were being
screened here," he said. "Mostly they were tell
ing all about their business. I was hoping more
for being hired."
Sophomore Steph Crayas, an elementary edu
cation major, thought the fair was a good idea.
"I'm trying to find something that will let me
work with my major," she said. "There isn't
enough time."
Employers were taking applications, keeping
lists of interested students' addresses and phone
numbers, telling about their companies and
even hiring.
Out of 32 questionnaires, five people said they
were successful in finding a position. Other stu
dents said they had a job lined up or could have if
they wanted to.
Donna Burkhardt, a manager from Home Ser
vices for Independent Living, said she had
already selected three or four people to hire.
"I'm meeting a lot of interesting students,"
Burkhardt said. "I've always employed students.
They do a good job and are dependable."
What attracts employers to student employees?
Mitch Jensen, manager of Pizza Hut, 239 N. 14th
St., said, "They work the hours we need. They
serve a good purpose for us. We have people with
us we hired at last year's Job Fair."
Leanna Mock, personnel coordinator for Target,
333 N. 48th St., explained that Target wants to
be involved in the community.
"We want people from all areas of the city. We
come to campus to draw different types of
employees to the store," Mock said. "We look for
people who are flexible and project a good
image. A lot of retail is part-time. It helps us
because students want part-time."
Campus entrance to close
The north entrance to UNL's East Campus will closed for short periods to foot traffic during the
be closed to traffic for about 30 days, beginning bridge resurfacing work.
Sept. 15, to allow work on a bridge over Dead
Man's Run, university officials have announced. Other available entrances are off Holdrege St.
The North 38th St. entrance is off Huntington at 35th, 38th and 40th streets, and off North 33rd
Street, leading to the bridge. The bridge may be St. at East Campus Loop.
