Nervosa . . .
From page one
Joy said she was terrified of being put in the hospital.
"For about two months I had to weigh in at the doctor's office when I weighed 65. He said I had to weigh 90 or he'd put me in the hospital.
"Their scale was two pounds heavier than mine was. I remember one time when I went up there, I drank water before I went and put money in my pockets. That made me weigh 90, but that only happened once my moon was with me all the other times."
SHE SAID she went to a doctor because she had edema. Edema occurs when the fluid flows through the body's dispose of fluids properly, and the fluids collect in the extremities, particularly the chest.
The doctor put her on a high protein diet, she said, which she followed for a few days.
Quilason said that patients became withdrawn and stopped interacting with him.
"I used to study calorie charts, so I knew how many calories were in those high protein foods. I didn't feel like I could eat all that." she said.
Sometimes, she said, girls wanted to remain children emotionally and tried to
"THEY'RE SCARED 'about adulthood and when they start developing breasts and hips they start hating their bodies. They don't little girls in little girls' bodies," she said.
Joy, who broke up with her boyfriend in April, said that her friends treated her differently and that she did not have many dates when she was emasculated.
"My friends would say stuff like 'Where's your shadow?' and my good朋友 told me to gain weight. When school started I felt really self-conscious and clammed up. Nobody who knew me before I lost weight asked me out.
"My brother got mad at me. I feel like he was ashamed of me. He treated me like an angel."
She said she went to a psychiatrist while she had anorexia nervosa, but that he did not. He was very hard on her.

QUASION SAID that there were several hypotheses about the causes of anorexia netex.
"From the psychoanalytical point of view, the conflicts of the person are not worked out in the open and build inwardly through symptom formation." she said.
A behaviorist hypothesis says the syndrome is a specific learned behavior that is caused and perpetuated by environmental forces, she said.
"The latest theory is that it is related to a hoathmalic dysfunction." Guison said.
The hypothalamus is a gland located in
the center of the brain that regulates hunger and thirst.
Joy said she thought her parents' divorce but caused her anorexia nervosa.
"DURING THE time Mom and Dad were working on their divorce my mother and I kind of got left in the street after an accident, and that was what pushed me over the line. I was getting so much attention when I was not eating, and no attention when I was drinking."
because anorexia nervosa is a life-threatening disease, Quiaison said, hospitalized patients are given intravenous fluids to correct electrolyte imbalances and are given food. They are bedridden for 24 hours, require privileges, which include phone calls and visitors.
Patients receive psychotherapy that focuses on control, expression of anger and their feelings toward their parents. Family therapy also is recommended in conjunction with the patients' individual therapy, she said.
QUIASON SAID anorexia patients were usually A students who were highly aware of their health, many are from middle-class families that stress appearance and achievement, she
Joy, who never was hospitalized, said she started eating and gained weight last month.
"My school picture was in the paper and I thought it looked terrible. I thought, 'God,
Joy now is 5' 3", weights 106 pounds and is very conscious of her diet.
"I still think about it. I'm scared the edema will come back. I take vitamins and I am healthy."
Quisano said the most important part of an anorexia patient's therapy was a follow-up with regular feeding and exercise.
"IF CONFLICTS continue, the patient may go back to not eating. If there is not a follow-up, soon they'll be back with the same complaints," she said.
Joy said her father and grandparents thought she might stop eating again.
"My mom knows I have control now and that my mind is a lot stronger than before, so we can go out and do stuff back to it. Today I walked in a walk-a-thon, and she called me up and told me for 10 minutes."
Joy said the battle to gain back weight was hard.
"It took a lot of will power. I had a lot of willpower not to to eat, and when that same old sick thought. Don't eat. you'll get fat," she said. "If you don't want to happen to you if you don't eat," she said.
She said she did not think she would stop eating again.
"There's no way I ever let that happen to me again. When I look back on being so skimmy, it seems like it was not it. Me seems like ikpped that part of my life."
Hang Gliding . . .

hill the pilot could "just almost walk off the edge of the hill," to take off.
"It's built so that it has the capability to have a motor," he said. "The motor I would add would be something similar to the motor on a chain saw."
Cornelius said that without a motor, the glider could fly at 55 mh.
"The average is only about 35 mph." he
said, "but depending on the wind speeds, I could飞 at 55."
Corneillus said speed was not the crucial factor concerning safety in hang gliding.
"... documents that occur are pilot error," he said. "You must have to know what you are doing and what the conditions can't or can't try things that you can't handle."
And, if all goes well, it will be only two more weeks before Cornelius will be able to eat his breakfast.
Tan Man returning to KU
For the Tan Man, the sun shines no brighter in Corpus Christi, Texas, than it does in Oklahoma City.
John Snyder, known to many KU students as "Tan Man," moved to Corpus Christi in December 1977 to follow the sun because he, said Lawrence winters were too cold.
"I want to move back real bad," Snyder said last weekend in a telephone interview.
But Snyder is returning to Lawrence Monday "for good."
Snyder said his tan had improved since he moved to Texas but that the winters were cold there too. He also said he was afraid to be caught because the police would "harass" him.
Snyder, 36, lived in Lawrence for 10 years before moving a year and a half ago. He became somewhat of a celebrity at KU when he went shirtless, both winter and summer.
SO, HE SAID, he worked as a janker in a bank building by night and satained at bed
When he lived in Lawrence, he worked nights as a junior in the First National Bank Office Tower, 900 Massachusetts St. He would get to his old job back when he returned.
Some of his favorite spata to sumbate were on the benches next to Wescue and in the back.
SNYDER SAID he would be back in time to sathem at KU on the last day of classes.
Come rain or shine, a benefit concert which would raise money to help transport disabled students to and from classes next year will be May 8, Jim Bloom, president of the Interfraternity Council, said yesterday.
Concert to help move disabled
The IFC, which is sponsoring the concert at Memorial Stadium, will raise money to purchase new seats. The van would have a whelchair lift which makes traveling easier for persons with disabilities.
BOR TURVEY, associate director of the student assistance center, said that wheelchair students missed as many as 10 days of class when the weather was bad.

The Mofet Beers Band and Paul Gray's Gaslight Gang are the groups who will win the title.
Bloom said that this semester a van
Tom Bissing, president of Students Concerned with Disabilities, which is co-sponsoring the concert, is a wheelchair student who uses the van to get to classes
"It's been a goadest, I did not miss one class all semesters because of weather."
Bissing said that last spring he missed
nine of 11 classes one week because of bad weather.
Survey said that many students who are only temporarily disabled with injuries such as a broken leg sometimes dropped the shoes because they could not get to their classes.
"Feedback was extremely positive," Turvey said, from the more than 40 students who rode in the vans to classes.
BUT, HE SAID, vans cost more than $6,000. He said the price doubled when the special equipment for wheelchair access was added.
Bloom said that to make $13,000 from the concert, 50,000 tickets had to be sold.
Lawrence businesses and campus organizations are donating the money to beer, be said. A bottomless glass will be free to all concert-zoers.
The concert begins at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday and will last until 8:30. Tickets are $3 in advance and will be available to living groups on campus and at information desk on Friday, Monday and Tuesday. Tickets will be sold for $4 the day of the concert.
Bloom said that he would try to prevent a rain out by getting a canopy to cover the bands, but that beer would still be there. He said he would ticket even if there were no concert.
Probation policy to be considered
A proposed probation policy for students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will be considered at the College Assembly on April 6, pm today in the Forum Room of the Kunga-ku.
The proposed academic standards requirement is the result of an investigation made at the request of Robert Cobb, dean of Undergraduate Studies and Admission.
Under the proposed policy, a student would be placed on probation for a semester before leaving school. A new semester were below 1.0 if he were a freshman, 1.5 if he were a sophomore and 2.0 if he were a graduate.
After a semester of probation, a student could be dismissed for poor scholarship if both his semester and cumulative GPAs were less than 1.0 if he were a freshman, 1.5 if he were a sophomore or 2.0 if he were an upperclassman.
An overall GPA of 2.0 is necessary from graduation at the College of Liberal Arts.
A STUDENT who was dismissed for poor scholarship would have to petition the university.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has no probation policy. The proposed policy would begin for all students in the College in fall 1980.
"This is a warning process as much as anything else," Tom Beecker, associate professor of speech and drama and chairman of the committee, said yesterday.
academic progress is not sufficiently strong to complete a degree," he said. "It also provides an incentive for greater effort to try improve."
In fall 1977, 1,020 freshmen the College had cumulative GPs of 1.79 or less, 599 sophomores had GPs of 1.79 or less and 400 upperclassmen had less than a 1.8 GPA.
"The probation warns a student that his
All schools at the University except those in the Colleges of Health Sciences and Liberal Arts and Sciences have probation policies of one kind or another.
"I have no idea whether or not the proposal will be adopted," Beisecker said. "I do think it would be beneficial both from a sociological view and, most importantly, the student's."

Although building is prohibited in some areas of the floodplain, Hedrick said, the 23.69 acres do not lie in an area in which building would be prohibited.
A floodplain is an area in which flooding may occur. A recent U.S. geological survey confirmed that approximately one-third of the proposed shopping mall would be built in the floodplain, of the Wakara River, according to Roger Hedrick, director of the mall.
Goldstein's is looking for people to join the airline in developing its resourcing in restaurant management. We are seeking a full-time associate in two years of college or personal accomplishments, one year of experience as a staff member. We require a person with high professionalism and Goldstein's consistently high product quality to provide an executive unit to help a team into a productive unit.
Mayor Barkley Clark said he thought the commission a decision on whether to reopen the hospital was warranted.
He said that the whole area would have to be rezoned for commercial use before any development could begin.
The planning commission is requesting that the land, at Iowa Street and Armstrong Road, be rezoned from residential to floodplain.
