Eating disorders hotline opens The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, November 2, 1983 - Page 3 By BARBARA MISLE A crisis line for women with eating disorders opened Sunday in response to the growing number of women at the University - and nationwide - who suffer from anorexia and bulimia. The hotline, 971-0606, which will operate every night from 6 to 11, will give women with eating disorders specialized counseling that other local crisis lines can't provide, said Judy Kronberg, director of the project. THE 16 VOLUNTEER counselors, many of them recovered anorexics or bulimics, will help women with eating disorders realize they're not "weird" } and refer then to local therapists, said Kronberg. "It's such a new issue, and it's just coming out of the closet, people don't know where to call for help," said Kronberg, who is also a psychologist at the Human Growth Center in Ann Ar- bor. "It's a special problem and the feed- back I'm getting from other (local) hotlines is they are glad we are starting a crisis line because they don't know what to do with the (eating disorder) calls (they receive)," said Kronberg. BOTH ANOREXIA and bulimia cen- ter on a fear of gaining weight and mainly affect women. Victims of anorexia lose 25 percent of their body weight through self- starvation. And bulimics become caught in a vicious cycle of gorging and purging through self-induced vomiting or overdoses of laxatives. Some local therapists say bulimia af- fects as many as 20 percent of female University students. Nationwide, an estimated 13 percent of college-aged womensuffer from bulimia, according to a study done at the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center. THE NUMBER OF women suffering from the two disorders has ballooned in recent years partly because of America's obsession with being thin, said Kronberg. "People are just starting to wake up and see that eating disorders are a serious problem and it's not going away," said Pat Voice, an Eastern Michigan University student who worked with Kronberg to plan the crisis line. "We have to start dealing with (the problem - and dealing with it openly," said Voice. The crisis line has only received a few calls since Sunday because so few people know about the hotline, said Voice. She added that she hopes even- tually the hours will be extended past 11 p.m. Kronberg and Voice started the crisis line, a non-profit organization called The Center for Eating Disorders, with a $500 loan from the Human Growth Cen- ter, Kronberg said. The hotline will be funded through private donations and grants, she said. -HAPPENINGS- Highlight The University Musical Society presents the Soviet Emigre Orchestra at Power Center, tonight at 8 p.m. Films Hill St - In the Heat of the Night, 7 & 9 p.m., 1429 Hill.

British threaten to shoot protestors LONDON (AP) - The government warned groups protesting deployment of U.S. cruise missiles yesterday that, under "extreme circumstances,'" soldiers might shoot people who break into nuclear weapons bases. Defense Secretary Michael Heseltine said in an interview with a commercial television station that troops could use firearms if intruders entered the most heavily guarded areas. "It is my duty to make it clear that there are extreme circumstances where people could be at risk," Heseltine warned. He said guards would have to consider the possibility that seeming protesters were terrorists in disguise. "THE DIFFICULTY is that you can't tell the difference between a terrorist and a peace protester if the terrorist has taken the trouble to make himself look like one," he said. In Parliament an opposiiton Laborite challenged Heseltine to give assuran- ces that troops would not shoot protesters. But the defense secretary replied heatedly, "I categorically will give no such assurance." Both Prime Minister Margaret That- cher and Heseltine cautioned the demonstrators during a House of Commons session shortly after protesters rushed the perimeter fence at the Greenham Common U.S. Air Force base, thinking that a just-landed C-5A Galaxy transport plane had brought the first missiles to Britain.

Profs play vicious water sport to keep fit r' (Continued from page 1) Dunking, strangleholds, scissors and other maneuvers are common methods used to prevent a goal or to intercept the ball. "We do discourage people from kicking others in the face," Loomis said. WHEN A PLAYER is desperate for air from being held underwater for a long period of time, there is a way to let his aggressor know. "If you're being held under water and you want to come up we have a signal - pinch a guy or tap him on the leg three times," Loomis said. Ann Arbor psychiatrist and Flounder Glenn Groustra said that although the game may seem uncivilized, it actually requires a degree of responsibility not found in any other sport. "THERE ARE NO rules in the game so it leaves the individual to structure and control his behavior," Groustra said. "I can't think of any other sport that has such aggressive, physical ac- tivity, without a referee." Although the game looks like a melee, Flounders claim it involves a lot of strategy. "There is this finesse to it just like any other sport where you feel good about making nice plays even if you don't score," Burgard said. Players range from members' children to 80 year-olds. Choosing teams is no easy task. Each side must be matched evenly so that one team doesn't repeatedly overpower the other. By matching speeds against strengths both youngsters and older men can play the game despite dif- ferent skills and make a contribution to the game. IF THIS BALANCE is not achieved on the first evaluation, changes are made during the game until it is reached. Flounders say the game was created to provide a strenuous but fun exercise in a short amount of time as an alter- native to the tedium of merely swim- ming laps. "Three times a week with this game and you're danger-proofed from car- diovascular problems," said Jim Pap- sdorf, Flounder and professor of psychology. Seventy-eight-year-old senior Floun- der, Eugene Power, a former Univer- sity Regent, said he plays because "one loses his strength if he doesn't exercise vigorously." He has been a member of the club since 1932. IF A PLAYER CAN last three games, he is eligible to be a member. Students are allowed to play, but Flounders assert that undergraduates playing with their professors makes for an un- comfortable atmosphere. Un- dergraduates are not allowed to become members. "It would be kind of like going out with your psychologist," Burgard said. Being a member also has -its respon- sibilities. Initial membership permits the new Flounder the "honor" of buying coffee for the group at the after-game lunch. If a member gets his name in the paper, he has to buy a round of coffee for the group. And if he gets his picture in the paper, he has to buy ice cream for the crowd. ANY UPWARD movement in a member's life - a new spouse, child, :new car - confers the honor to buy cof- fee at lunch. Flounders say lunch is just as impor- tant as the game: After a barbaric wrestling match in the pool there's no better place to talk about one's livelihood than over a good meal. "You can't talk to a guy in ISR (In- stitute for Social Research) while you're swimming around the pool," said veteran Flounder and English Prof. Richard Bailey. Women have played with the Floun- ders occasionally (suits on) but not on a steady basis. "IN GENERAL there haven't been many women pounding on the door to play," Loomis said. Some Flounders insist that women would add a new dimension to the game - not a very pleasant one. "It certainly would change the game a lot," Loomis said. "Soften it. We think." "One time some girls played with us and the guys were being very:protec- tive toward them," Lauckner said. "It made the game a little less violent." MATH (MAJORS/M/NORS! APTITUDE)...

Ask them why ingenuity and flexibility are as vital as adopting to o different culture. They'll tell you their stu- dents know Moth is the key to a solid future.

PEACE CORPS Lauckner, who holds a second degree black belt in Judo, said in this game you have to be on guard at all times. "My first experience with the game I en- countered an 81-year-old man who tried to drown me." FLOUNDERS say injuries are few except for some gouges on the back, a poke in the eye or maybe a cut lip. "Usually you leave with a few scrat- ches but they go away within a few days," Papsdorf said. Aside from the intense competiton involved in the sport Flounders are not typical "macho" men. In fact "they're pretty sensitive-warm kind of guys," Groustra said. Flounder members have included some distinguished men over the past 57 years. Professor Clark Hopkins of classical archeology, who led some major ar- cheological investigations, played flounder until he was nearly 80 years old. HOPKINS IS the author of The Flounders: Fifty Years, a volume of biographies of past and present mem- bers. Jack Blott and Harry Kipke, both University football coaches were Flounder members. Kipke also served as a University regent. The director of intramural sports and the sports building, joined the Floun- ders in the early days of the club. Earl Riskey, the inventor of paddleball. Bill Parkinson, a professor of physics and the director of the University's cyclotron laboratory, took the plunge in 1950. Parkinson invented and patented the electronic device that times swim,, mers to oue thousandth of a second. ' SOME CURRENT members include: " Realtor John Sharemet, a former University swimmer. Sharemet- organized and' directed Huron Valley National Bank for 14 years anA developed Arborland Shopping Cen- ter. " Sheridan Baker, professor of English- and editor of the Michigan Quarterly Review (1964-71). Lauckner, a member since 1966, said he's developed some close relationships: with Flounders. "I probably know these people better than anybody ex-: cept my parents and my wife and, children. "If they ask a favor I don't think twice about doing it for them-I would hestitate possibly with'even a colleague but not with a Flounder. And I'd try to do a good job," Lauckner said.
