    Do you feel out of control when you are eating?
Do you think you have problems with binge
eating or bulimia?
A short-term treatment program is now being formed at the
TAMU Psychology Clinic to help with these problems. This will
be an affordable and scientifically supported treatment that will
address: gaining control over binge eating/vomiting, reducing
weight and shape concerns, building self-esteem, and developing
healthy eating patterns.

malfunctions,” he said.
Dan Mizer, associate director
of Residence Life for dormitories

third false alarm in Underwood

He said the alarm was acci
dentally triggered during mainte
