"(The ideas) could be all over the map," Willson said. There will be another forum Nov. 10 to capture more of the public's ideas, he said. The sustainability office has already identified a range of categories of emphasis, including transportation, building efficiency and renewable energy, and plans to use the information sessions as part of a broader look at specific sustainable technologies, methods and practices. Willson said the success of similar forums at other colleges depended largely on the aggressiveness of the promotional campaign for the event and the energy and enthusiasm for sustainability measures among students and faculty.

Vanhaitsma said his interest in exercise-induced asthma sparked when he was an undergraduate at Calvin College in Michigan and noticed that many of his colleagues on the cross-country team had the respiratory disease that occasionally prohibited them from completing a race. Children and young adults are more susceptible to exerciseinduced asthma because of their high physical activity, and in the northern United States, the cold, dry air inhaled through the mouth is a major factor that triggered the attacks, he said. An inhaler functions as a dilator for when airways swell up because of mucus, and caffeine acts much the same way. "In case you're caught without your inhaler, make sure you take caffeine an hour before and drink a lot," Vanhaitsma said. "The more caffeine the better—just don't take too much." v.pineda@chronicle.utah.edu EXPANSION continued from Page 1 clinical workers happens in her department.

Browning said he did not have details on where the funding would fc»e coming from for the expansion. "All I know is that UNI is paying for it, not the state," he said.

"We are trying to focus student campaigns on issues rather than hot dogs," Clough said. He also addressed the student mentoring program, which would pay U students to help local high school students fill out college applications. The proposal encountered several questions in ASUU Assembly and Senate debate and would be revised for clarity, Clough said. "It's pretty vague, the proposal we have right now," he said. A set of new policies governing financial reporting and resource management, referred to as internal controls, were also passed Monday with the goal of reducing mistakes, fraud and incompetence in the reporting. cm umfo rd@ chronicle.utah.edu ntras ifrmhM hands of thousands4 —and win two tickets to Saturday's game against New Mexico & a $20 gift certificate to The Pie. * !
