The panel discussion, featur- ng four Texas A&M faculty nembers and a nutritionist from California, is sponsored by MSC Creat Issues and the Agriculture md Liberal Arts Project. The irogram will begin at 8 p.m. in wrung Mi Rudder Tower. Admission is wr. fa fee. Program executive for MSC ivirritJHreat Issues, Shelly Oliver, said ptised clinical social worker, oni Cady, will be the featured peaker. Currently, Cady is in rrivate practice in Los Angeles lelping people with eating disor ders. The other panelists are Sara Alpern, assistant professor of his- v; Kerry Hope, associate clirec- ;orof counseling; Alex McIntosh, S issociate professor of sociology; md Alice Hunt, a nutrition doc- orate. r The discussions will cover a broad range of topics including bulimia and anorexia. The pan elists will approach the problems differently. Cady approaches disorders as an addiction and also looks at the family influence, Oliver said, while Hope is concerned with the family aspect and the sociological aspect of eating disorders. McIntosh will concentrate on the sociology of nutrition. Hunt will look at the patient’s treat ment. The panel’s purpose is td broa den students’ perspectives and awareness of eating disorders. At least 20 percent of all col lege w'omen in the United States are bulimic, she said. Some stud ies indicate that up to 75 percent of all college women display occa sional bulimic behavior. Bulimia means consuming a large amount of calories in a short period of time but does not alw'ays lead to purging. fl on®* once Arts Society students o perform tonight at A&M Fhe Dance Arts Society will pre- ent a concert at 7:30 tonight in ludder Theater.

To mark the beginning of two- w'eek annual Reserve Training Sat urday, 17 members of the 420th will relay-run the company’s flag to the training site at Fort Hood, 102 miles away. Four Texas A&M students — Sel- wyn Miller, Brad Szalwinski, Jerome Burns and Carl Coffman — will par ticipate in the run. The run will begin at 4:30 a.m. at the Moore Memorial Reserve Center on Carson Street in Bryan. The route to Fort Hood will take runners through Hearne, Mayfield and Temple, and the final runner should arrive at Fort Hood around 7:30 p.m. Sgt. 1st Class K. Craig Barham, public affairs supervisor for the 420th, said the run is part of the “Army of Excellence” theme of an nual training this year. “Every year the Army comes up with a theme for the annual training exercises,” he said. “Several years ago ‘Army of Excellence’ was imple mented and it has been with us ever since. The Army stresses different areas of excellence each year to in still pride in the members. This year that area will be values.” Barham said annual training is made up of individual and unit exer cises and classes. “Unit training includes loading equipment onto aircraft and rail road flatcars, and individual training has to do with things like map read ing and chemical warfare defenses,” he said. Annual training is important for reservists, he said, because it is the only time the soldiers are able to per form as a unit under simulated bat tle conditions. Barham said members of the 420th spend a minimum of 38 days per year preparing and training for the time when they may be called to defend the country. One-weekend- per-month drills and the two-week annual training period make up the Reservists’ minimum service sched ule. First Sgt. Greg Shirley, of the Headquarters Company, said an nual training is often more challeng ing than the reservists expect. “During annual training, work days may last as long as 18 hours when the unit is on 24-hours-a-day operations,” Shirley said, “and many new members are surprised at the number of demands put on them during this time.” $1.5 million to go to widow of Dallas plane crash victim FORT WORTH (AP) — A $1.5 million settlement has been reached in a suit filed by a woman whose hus band died two months after he was injured in the crash of Delta Air Lines Flight 191, her attorney says. The settlement, which was reached Wednesday, came two days after Charlene R. Vicich, 28, filed a lawsuit accusing the airline of oper ating Flight 191 in a careless and reckless manner and in “willful and wanton disregard for the safety of passengers.” The Aug. 2 crash at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport killed 137 people. Attorneys had negotiated with U.S. Aviation, Delta’s insurance car rier, for several months before filing the suit, said Vincent Velardo, a New Jersey attorney representing Vicich. “We felt that it represented a fair figure for the case,” he said. “We felt like neither time nor a jury would benefit her any more. To wait would only have hurt her more than she’s been hurt.” Mark S. Vicich, 29, died Oct. 3 in the Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas. He had been treated for a broken neck and burns over 85 per cent of his body. “She suffered along with him,” Velardo said. “She was under terrific strain and stress.” In addition to the $1.5 million set tlement, Delta also agreed to pay Vi- cich’s $265,000 hospital bill. Vicich, a sales representive for Izod sportswear for women, was re turning from a business trip to Flor ida when the plane crashed. The couple had been married for two years. Meanwhile, Delta filed papers Tuesday in federal court in Fort Worth seeking to have the govern ment pay all damages awarded by the court. The airline’s third-party com plaint claims negligent acts by air traffic controllers working for the Federal Aviation Administration and National Weather Service fore casters caused the crash of the L- 1011 as it approached the airport in severe weather. A formal investigation by the Na tional Transportation Safety Board has not yet determined the probable cause of the crash. The panel is scheduled to meet June 24 to discuss its investigation. Last month, the airline filed a $34 million claim against the govern ment to pay for costs already in curred by the airline, including the costs of the lost aircraf t and of medi cal and other financial support given to victims and their relatives.
