At 6 a.m. this morning Radio
M*A*S*H began its l()()-hour
broadcast outside Post Oak Mall
promoting a local toy collection.
Radio M*A*S*H, which stands
lor Make A Smile Happen, plans
on collecting 10,000 toys for
needy children in College Station
and Bryan areas, said Sally Ad
ams, publicity coordinator of
KORA-FM.
“Radio stations KORA-FM and
KTAM-AM will be broadcasting
the event from a 30-by-40 foot
tent at the the corner of the East
Bypass and Harvey Road,” said
Adams who is also a disc jockey
for KORA-FM.
“Everything from news an
nouncers to newsroom wire ma
chines will he in the tent, de

show M*A*S*H,” Adams said.
The 1984 goal of 10,000 toys is
double what the two radio sta
tions have collected in previous
years.
The donated toys, which are
tax deductible, will oe accepted at
the tent near the mall and at 12
local day care centers, preschools
and other businesses.
Adams said there will be a box
in Dudley’s Draw, located on Uni
versity Drive, for Texas A&M stu
dents who wish to dpnate toys.
“The donated toys should be
new or in like-new condition,”
Adams said. Cash donations will
also be accepted.
The toys will be picked up for
distribution to the children by a
Bossier Dodge Toy Truck.
Adams said anyone interested
in donating toys should call 764-
TOYS.

Cognitive therapy as good as drugs
United Press International
ST. LOUIS — Cognitive therapy
the use of therapy to think a per
son through his imagined problems
and shortcomings — can be just as
“effective as antidepressant drugs in
Ireating moderately to severely de
pressed patients.
J That is the conclusion of a study
7 at the Washington University School
' U! of Medicine conducted by Dr.
fceorge E. Murphy, who worked
with 70 people suffering from de
pression.
Under cognitive therapy, a pa
tent and therapist develop a list of
he problems that trouble the pa
rent. The therapist then guides the
atient through the list, explaining

the illogic and inconsistency behind
his attitudes.
In Murphy’s study, one-fourth of
the group received cognitive therapy
alone, and another fourth received
only antidepressants. A third group
received both treatments, and a
fourth had cognitive therapy and a
dummy drug.
Study results showed that cogni
tive therapy patients had the same
rate of improvement as those treated
with drugs. And the dual therapy
groups responded about the same as
the single therapy groups.
Murphy said the important find

Bryan district office said, “If the city
came to us with the Luther Street
crossing, or any other crossing, and
we determined it was High enough
priority, we would look for funds.”
Zeigler said Luther Street would
probably be classified high enough
to receive funds from the highway
system.
Locke said College Station will not
seek funds for upgrading the Luther
Street crossing because the city still
wants to close Luther Street and
open the Holleman Road crossing.

The most commonly prescribed
antidepressants today — tricyclic an
tidepressants — relieve depression
but also often produce sleepiness,
lightheadedness, dry mouth, consti
pation and stimulate the appetite.
“Not everyone wants to take medi

An even more promising footnote
to the study, Murphy said, is the in
dication that patients who receive
cognitive therapy may stay unde
pressed longer than those who re
ceive drug therapy.
Murphy said therapy may not be
the answer for all depressed pa
tients, because of the time and high
cost involved, but has been proven
effective for those who would rather
help themselves or cannot tolerate
the side effects of antidepressants.
Murphy said the most important
goal for depression victims is to
teach them to have a sense of worth.
