2 - The Michigan Daily - Monday, February 7, 1994 AWARENESS Continued from page 1 survey conducted at the University that indicated at least 50 percent of women at this school show some symptoms of an eating disorder. She classifies eating disorders into three groups: Anorexia Nervosa, in which sufferers function in a mode of star- vation, avoiding contact with food; f BulimiaNervosa, in which suf- ferers attempt to eliminate calories through vomiting, laxatives, purging or excessive exercise; and, Binge Eating Disorder, in which sufferers have a distorted image of their body, but usually do not attempt to limit calorie intake. The Center for Eating Disorders, a private clinic in Ann Arbor, is spon- soring its own events in recognition of Eating Disorder Awareness Week. "One of the basic things we want people to learn is that diets don't work," said Judith Banker, the clinic's program director. "Trying to control a basic drive like hunger through re- striction or over control is going to make you very obsessive, depressed This week,UOHS and the Center for Eating Disorders will sponsor workshops and distribute information for people suffering from eating disorders. Some of the happenings: N Today: Panel Workshop on Anorexia and Bulimia, 7 p.m. at the Center for Behavior and Medicine, 2004 Hogback Rd.

Robin Nwankwo, a registered di- etitian at UHS said, "Nobody has to suffer by themselves because there's a lot of resources available." CLINTON Continued from page 1 cal team and three transport planes to Sarajevo to help evacuate the wounded, Clinton summoned top na- tional security officials to the White House to discuss the situation. He was leaving later in the day for Houston on a 2 1/2-day trip that will combine political fund raising with promoting his health-care program. Aides said the president did not con- sider the situation to be enough of a crisis to warrant delaying the trip. An administration official, speak- ing on condition of anonymity, said Clinton asked for an update on the situation and also was eager for de- tails on what the medical team had learned in Sarajevo. Clinton - who issued a state- ment condemning the "cowardly act" and calling for engaging allies on next steps - was not likely to take any steps without consulting with NATO partners, the official said. In Munich, Germany, Defense Secretary William Perry said the United States would not invoke air strikes unilaterally, noting the diffi- culty imposed by the presence of 28,000 lightly armedU.N. peacekeep- ers in Bosnia. Perry denounced the attack on ci- vilians in Sarajevo as an "unforgiv- able incident" but suggested air strikes would have limited value in ending the civil strife. He called instead for a negotiated settlement. "It is time for responsible leaders among the warring factions to step forward and be counted. It is time for the international community to stand together and bring the maximum pres- sure to bear," Perry told a military conference in Munich. Perry's remarks seemed to back away from comments the day before when he suggested "stronger action, including air strikes" might be war- ranted to prevent the "strangulation" of Sarajevo. Dole suggested it was time for air strike against Serbian positions. "I think it would certainly send a strong message to Belgrade," the Republi- can leader told NBC-TV. "Let's send a signal to the Bosnian Serbs and the Serb leadership in Belgrade that we mean business." Foster care system to " be examined in study i I I BOSNIA Continued from page 1 NATO sources in Brussels, Bel- gium, speaking on condition of ano- nymity, said yesterday it was unlikely NATO would turn down a request from Boutros-Ghali to approve air strikes. They were commenting be- fore Boutros-Ghali's request was made public. The 16-member alliance demon- strated it was not in full agreement about the wisdom of increased in- volvement in Bosnia's war, which has killed more than 200,000 Mus- lims, Serbs and Croats.

Forest Ave. Ann Arbor, MI 48104 761-2680 Canada, have been reluctant to call in planes for fear of spreading the war and of reprisals against their troops serving with the U.N. aid operation in Bosnia. U.S. Defense Secretary William Perry backed away from the threat of American air strikes, calling instead for a negotiated settlement. Speaking to European defense of- ficials in Munich, Germany, Perry asked: "If air strikes are Act One of a new melodrama, what is Act Two, Act Three and the conclusion?" But Belgium's foreign minister urged that air strikes be launched. France demanded NATO set a dead- line for the Serbs to lift their siege or face military action. CHICANO Continued from page 1 Angie Reyes, youth director for Latino Family Services in Detroit, also spoke at the event. Reyes fo- cused on the many problems that young Latino Americans face. "The young people of today are proud of their heritage, but they don't know about their culture. Their his- tory and culture has been taken away," she said. She ended her speech by empha- sizing the fact that students at the University should go back to the bar- rios or neighborhoods and give some sense of hope to the young people who are still there. "Show them that there is something beyond the bar- rio," she added. The final speaker was Baldemar Velasquez, organizer of the Midwest United Farm Workers Association. Giving an address full of emotion, Velasquez spoke of arousing the pas- sions in young Latino Americans to move into positions of leadership. "We need leaders, but the leaders are not rising up. You won't become a leader unless you participate." He stressed that young people need to carry the Latino American struggle forward, and that the effort made has to come from the heart. To the Latino Americans in the audience, Velsquez had one request. "You are being called upon to prepare your hearts and souls for the difficult battles and marches that lie ahead." Salinas said the speakers conveyed positive messages that dignified the struggles, Latino Americans are fac- ing today. He said he thought Velasquez had the right idea in telling people to prepare their hearts. "If we live through our hearts, than we will live for eternal good," he added. Harriet Teller, a student in the masters program of telecommunica- tion and arts, also worked with Chavez at one time. She said she was de- lighted to see the speakers and the ,people that turned out. "I felt that it was a fitting way to honor Chavez." The address was followed by a march in memory of C6sar Chavez that led to a reception at the Trotter House. A- 90,r 1 I i W Children from Wayne County rep- resent more than 40 percent of child welfare cases in Michigan and are likely to wait twice as long as children from the rest of the state for a perma- nent home, a University School of Social Work study concluded. The median length of a Wayne* County child's stay in foster care is 459 days, compared to 237 days for the rest of the state. The study also found African American children from Wayne County (480 days) wait longer for a permanant home than African Ameri- can children from the rest of Michi- gan (187 days). Social Work researchers David Crampton, Ira Schwartz and Shenyang Guo suggest Wayne County's children's services heavy workload may account for the differences. The study also found African American children waited longer for permanant homes than white chil- dren. Cross-cultural education study gets $1 million grant University researchers will use a $1,068,000 grant from the U.S. De- partment of Education to study dif- ferences in performance of Ameri- can, German and Japanese students. The three-year study will be led by psychology professor Harold Stevenson. His previous studies led to the book "The Learning Gap," which compares abilities of Ameri- can students to Japanese and Chinese students, and is co-authored by James Stigler. The new study will use intensive case studies of kindergarten through 11th-grade students from all three countries. Researchers will focus on four topics: the place of school in adoles- cents' lives, procedures for dealing with student differences in ability, DAIRY MART Continued from page 2. to beat the Michigan State Spartans Saturday night, 59-51. Many students said this was evidence of the team's ability to rebound from the event's repercussions. First-year Engineering student SELF-DEFENSE Continued from page 2Z because they weren't frightened, the attacker didn't know how to respond. Pomerleau's harassment experi- ence is not unique - many partici- pants had similar stories to tell. "We want to show affection," said Rubin, referring to herself and her partner, "but we know we are at risk (of being attacked)." During a discussion about being attacked orharassed because of sexual orientation, some participants ex- pressed frustration with the way gay- bashing is generally handled by the police. But others felt that, as one woman phrased it, "some cops are on our side." Some in the class hadn't person- ally encountered gay-bashing, but wanted to be prepared if the case were to arise. national standards, and teachers' working conditions. Clinton administration pushes encryption .standard Citing the explosion of affordable encoding technology, the Clinton ad ministration has approved a plan tt pressure companies and individuals to adopt the "Clipper Chip" encryp- tion device. The chip allows the user to encode information sent through computer telecommunications networks to pre- vent unwanted parties from using the information, much as cable services scramble their signals. But the Clipper Chip, developed by the National Security Agency, hD a back door that allows law-enforce ment groups to crack the codes. Companies like Apple, IBM, Microsoft and civil rights groups con- cerned with privacy rights oppose the device. While the U.S. government can- not require implementation of the stan- dard, it can use its purchasing power to require that all agencies and com- panies with government contracts use the device. The administration hopes the Clip- per Chip becomes an industry stan- dard. "Encryption is a law-and-order issue, since it can be used by crimir- nals to thwart wiretaps and avoid de- tection," Vice President Al Gore said Friday. The Chicago Tribune contribute* to this report. - By Scot Woods Daily Staff Reporte. Matt Gerlack said that although he was unsure of his feelings concering the fate of the players, he does not believe this incident will have a nega- tive effect on the how the team wil fare for the rest of the season. "I don't know if they did it or not so I don't want to say, but we won. anyway so that's good," he said. "It's easy in Ann Arbor to feel: safe, but it isn't really safe here - or. in other cities," said Kip Lewis, a recent University graduate. Lewis explained he is concerned primarily when leaving gay bars, and said he took the workshop "to feel better about my ability to take care of myself." This workshop was unusual in that it was for men and women, and many said they felt more comfortable par- ticipating since it was sponsored by. LGMPO. Along with holding discussions,' Buie taught the groupa series ofphysi* cal skills and techniques, including kicks and releases from choke holds. At one point participants punched people holding mats back against a wall while the rest of the class cheered.. "The emotional support from the. group was great," said Lewis. The second half of the course will be held next Saturday morning.
