'U' promotes eating disorder awareness r By Lindsey Alpert Daily Staff Reporter The Atkins Diet, New Year's resolutions to exer- cise, Tae-Bo and Buns of Steel are just some of the ways people attempt to trim waistlines and lose weight. But in some cases innocent diets can lead to bulimia and anorexia. In an effort to increase awareness of such bio- logical and psychological diseases, University Counseling and Psychological Services is con- ducting presentations and workshops for National Eating Disorders Week, which lasts until Friday. The organizers dubbed this week "Strive to be a Role Model, not a Supermodel" "We want to try to reach out and help the women and men who suffer from eating disor- ders," CAPS Psychologist Vicki Hays said. Hays said she estimates 50 to 70 percent of women on campus, and 10 percent of men, have had a negative body image perception at one point in their lives. "There is a negative impact (from the media), but it's especially strong for people that already have poor body images," Communication Studies Prof. Kristin Harrison said. CAPS officials said they hope to place a focus on the prevalence of bulimia nervosa on campus. According to the CAPS Website, the disorder is characterized as "a cycle of uncontrolled binge eating followed by purging" While purging is generally thought of to be vomiting, it also includes fasting, excessive exer- cise, use of laxatives and the use of diuretics. The week will also include panel discussions and an eating issues screening. A presentation titled "F-Words: Food, Fear, Fit- ness, Fat" will be held in the Michigan Union tonight at 7 p.m', where medical doctor Sheryl Kruze, registered dietitian Mirlyn Nakamoto and Hays are scheduled to speak. "It primarily focuses on how people can get bet- ter," Hays said. "We want people to have the knowledge that it is possible to recover." There will also be another panel discussion titled "Eating Disorders: Signs, Symptoms and Support,' co-sponsored by the University Center for the Education of Women and the Faculty and Staff Assistance Program, which is scheduled to take place at the Union on Thursday at noon. The week continues with "Help! My friend has an eating disorder" tomorrow in the Michigan Union at 7 p.m. There will be a performance by a Mentality member as well as presentations by CAPS staff members. Mentality is a campus group that gives perfor- mances on various mental issues, including depression and eating disorders. "I'm helping Stacey Pearson in a presentation about my friend with an eating disorder," said Tara Arrendondo, an RC sophomore and Mentality member. "Then I'm giving a little monologue about the thoughts and feelings about having an eating disorder" The event will discuss ways to help friends recover and feel better. "I think the best thing, personally, although it's different based on individuals, is for a friend to be there and listen to what's going on," Arrendondo said. "In extreme cases it will obviously differ. It's going to mean doing as much as they can to get them to the hospital if necessary." The screening, which consists of a short ques- tionnaire created by the national program, will also allow participants to meet individually with a clinician. "We welcome anybody and everybody," Hays said. "It's just a nice chance to get feedback. Some people may feel comfortable taking the survey and finding they don't have an issue." The screening will take place tonight and Sat- urday morning at the Central Campus Recreation Building and Thursday at the Michigan Union. Boat show ahoy Aquinas College budget gdeficit rises GRAND RAPIDS (AP) - Aquinas College officials said the school's budget deficit could reach $5 million before running a small surplus in 2002. The budget trouble was discussed at a campus wide forum last week, where several staff and faculty members criticized Aquinas President Harry Knopke. He admitted the school is going through "growing pains." "We are restructuring to run the college more efficiently," Knopke said. "That's why I was brought here, to move the college forward." Knopke said the school is working harder than it has in the past to save money. An associate provost position has been eliminated, as have bonuses for faculty who teach summer courses. Knopke said he is also studying possible organi- zational changes to take advantage of expected staff retirements in the next three years. The restructuring should save more than $400,000, Knopke said. Ten years ago, a S15 million budget deficit forced the school to cut some programming and staff positions. To avoid a reoccurrence of such a large deficit, last year the school sold SI.5 mil- lion in Steelcase Inc. stock donated to the col- lege. The school plans to do the same this year. Knopke attributed some of the school's finan- cial problems to lower than anticipated enroll- ment in adult-education classes. The school has also increased faculty salaries 16 percent in the last two years. "I have always said to have a good college you need a strong library and a strong staff," Knopke told The Grand Rapids Press in a story yesterday. "And I felt it was important to award our staff." Undergraduate enrollment at the school increased 11.4 percent this year, Knopke said. The school has raised S3.5 million for its endowment fund since last July, but most of that money can't be used for operation expenses, Knopke said. "The things we are going through are typical of any business," Knopke said. "We are just going through a small cash-flow problem ... and our communication needs to improve." WRITE FOR THE DAILY.

Doctor testes Reid seemed dead in ER DETROIT (AP) - Fifteen-year-old Samantha Reid already appeared dead when she was brought into a hospital emergency room a few hours after she ingested a date rape drug, an emergency room doctor testified yes- terday. Dr. Harlan Mast testified that Samantha wasn't breathing and was extremely pale when he first saw her at Seaway Hospital about 4:45 a.m. on Jan. 17, 1999. "I believe that she was dead," said Mast, testifying at the manslaughter trial of four men charged in Saman- tha's death. "I don't believe I'd seen extremities looking like that at any other time. It appeared there was no blood in them." Doctors kept Samantha on life sup- port until she died about 7:30 that night. Erick Limmer, 26, of Grosse lie, Joshua Cole, 19, of Southgate, Daniel Brayman, 18, of Trenton, and Nicholas Holtschlag, 18, of Wayne County's Brownstown Township are charged in Samantha's death. Prosecutors allege the four gave the Rockwood girl a soft drink secretly spiked with GHB - gamma-hydroxy- butyrate - during a party in Limmer's apartment on Jan. 16, 1999. Cole has his own jury as the only defendant alleged to have confessed. He also faces three counts of felony poisoning, each carrying a possible life sentence. The others are charged with two poisoning counts apiece. for GHB- tainted drinks allegedly given to Samantha and her friend, Melanie Sin- donie. now 17, whose ingestion of the drug left her temporarily comatose. A third girl alleged to have unknow- ingly ingested the powerful central nervous system depressant was not sickened. GHB has been linked to at least 58 deaths since 1990 and more than 5,700 recorded overdoses, the Drug Enforce- ment Administration has said. Mast testified that when a group brought Samantha and Melanie to the emergency room, the girls appeared to have overdosed on some drug. "I suspected GHB was the possible culprit, though I really didn't know." Under cross examination, Mast indicated that Samantha might have been saved if she had gotten help sooner. "Nobody needs to die," if they get help quickly enough, he said. GHB "doesn't poison except by dose."
