Services: Comprehensive approach needed to gain coping skills ■ Continued from Page 1 with food, water retention, absence of menstrual periods, swollen glands, heart burn and sore throat. Those demonstrating any combination of these signs are encouraged to meet with a counselor in a confidential setting to dis cuss eating patterns in need of change, said Judy Sonnenburg, University psy chologist and eating disorders specialist. “When talking to a person with disor dered eating, support is the most impor tant aspect,” Sonnenburg said. “Women are often ashamed of their problem, and working to establish realistic goals is cru cial.” In addition, the affected person has to realize the disordered eating pattern and tell someone, as well as decide he or she needs help to overcome the pattern, Dr. Donna Scurlock said. Often a friend in whom the person has confided will ac company him or her to the counseling center for help. Because women are at different levels when they seek counseling, setting goals with a counselor is important to their per sonal success in the long process of over coming a disorder, Sonnenburg said. Aligning goals, refuting negative thoughts — which often surface in the journal writ ing — and learning to like themselves with Haws are three general steps people follow to accept themselves and stop the cycle of bingeing, fasting and drastically altering their lives in attempts to gain control. However, counselors and doctors alike agree that a comprehensive approach to overcoming disordered eating is necessary in order to instill coping skills in the per son with disordered eating. “Dealing with food and nutrition issues is important, but if other issues are not ad dressed, the person won’t get better,” Nu tritionist Kristen Olmos said. “Disordered eating isn’t like a cold — it doesn’t go away on its own.” Those who seek counseling help can be set up in a group approach or in individ ual counseling. But a network of help is available on campus, including a quarterly Eating Awareness Workshop for those comfortable in a group setting that empha sizes a “team approach” to overcome dis ordered eating. The Eating Disorder Group is for students diagnosed with eating dis orders and is typically composed of peo ple who have a persistent struggle with eating and who may experience chronic disordered eating symptoms. The latter group is more of an interpersonal process, focusing on changing members’ lives to no longer be governed by the control of food. But the groups and counselors alike em phasize a comprehensive approach and a commitment for change by the person with the disordered eating. “Overcoming eating disorders is a real process,” Scurlock said. “There are no overnight successes.” Amid calls for reform, Republicans winning money-raising race By CONNIE CASS The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Sure, Bob Dole trails in the presidential polls. But the Republican Party al ready can claim victory in at least one crucial ’96 contest — the ever-accelerating money race. The GOP’s flagship committee brought in an eye-popping $92.5 million over the last three months, out-raising the Democ rats two-to-one, according to elec tion finance reports released Sun day. Since the election cycle began in January 1995, the Republican National Committee has raked in $239 million, mostly in contribu tions from individuals or corpora tions. Although they lag behind the GOP, the Democrats are breaking their own records. The Democrat ic National Committee took in $46.5 million last quarter and re ported receipts of $177 million since the start of last year. Campaign financing has be come a hot issue in the presiden tial race — particularly “soft mon ey’’ donations to the political parties that commonly reach six figures or more. On Sunday, Dole, whose presi dential campaign has benefited from GOP funding, called for abolishing the use of such “soft money’’ in the future and en dorsed other campaign financing reforms. “If we’re going to preserve the American people’s confidence in the system, we need to return campaign finance to the front burner,” Dole said in Nashua, N.H. The Republican nominee has seized on hundreds of thou sands of contributions to the De mocrats from an Indonesian con glomerate to attack President Clinton’s ethics. Clinton also has called for cam paign financing reform, and his campaign aides said Dole had come late to the issue. Even as candidates talk of fur ther restricting contributions, re ports to the Federal Election Com mission show the Democrats have doubled their fund-raising over the 1993-94 season, when the na tional party brought in $83.1 mil lion. And the Republicans also are on track to double the $133.5 million in receipts they reported in 1993-94. Much of the money raised by the national parties is farmed out to the states. Some also goes straight to the presidential and congressional candidates, and millions is spent on TV advertis ing. Going into the final month of campaigning, the Republican Na tional Committee reported $3.8 million in cash on hand and no debt. It's Democratic counterpart, in contrast, had only about $100,000 left when its $4.7 mil lion in debt was balanced against $4.8 million in cash. But millions more is rolling into both parties this month to fi nance the final rush of spending before the Nov. 5 elections. The parties detailed their re ceipts and expenditures through Sept. 30 in reports to the Federal Election Commission. In its latest report, filed Sun day, the RNC reported $29 mil lion in receipts for September. In addition to direct RNC fund-rais ing from individuals, political ac tion committees, corporations and unions, the receipts include transfers from other branches of the party. The RNC raised $16.5 million from individual donors and $26,500 from political action committees last month. And the Republicans trounced the Democrats even in soft money donations from corporations, unions and wealthy individuals — the fund-raising area where De mocrats have been most competi tive. The RNC reported receipts of $5.9 million in soft money last month and $30.1 million for the quarter. The DNC, which only files quarterly reports, took in $22.6 million over the same three month period. Open for business I t's your brain. Incredibly malleable. Infinitely versatile.
