Show ,I0 The Salt Lake Tribune, Air Controllers May Vote on New Union in July By Steven Oberbeck Tribune Staff Writer By the end of the summer, there's a good chance that air traffic controllers in Salt Lake City will be voting on union representation. Sixty-fiv- e percent of the air traffic controllers in Salt Lake City have signed a petition supporting an election on whether to join the new National Air Traffic Controllers Association, according Kelly Candaele, the association's western states' organiz in the Federal Aviation Administra- tiont Northwest Mountain Region. Mr Candaele, who was in Salt Lake City on Wednesday to meet with con- trollers representing the major control centers, said NATCA has been soliciting support for an election across the country. We need 30 percent of the roughtly 14,000 air traffic controllers to sign a petition before an election can be held," Mr. Candaele said. "Right now, we have approximately 2,700 signatures. We anticipate an election will Pr There are more than 140 air traffic controllers in Salt Lake City, which along with Denver and Seattle is one of the main air traffic control centers Butimics Sought be held by the end of the summer maybe late July" NATCA, according to Mr Candaele, wants to take a approach to the FAA "We're just not interested in the types of conflicts that led to the PATCO strike in 1981," he said.

M The University Health Sciences Center needs volunteers for a research project on bulimia being conducted by the Depression Clinic in the department of psychiatry. Bulimics have episodes of binge-eatin- g (rapid consumption of food), induce vomiting or take laxatives, or believe they must diet or fast to counteract their eating habits. The project will evaluate the effects of a new drug on bulimia. At least 30 patients are needed for the yearlong study. "We need volunteers who feel they can't control their eating behavior," said program coordinator Joanne Brown. Volunteers should have had a minimum of two binge-eatin- g episodes per week for at least six months. According to Ms. Brown, the antidepressants "shorten the length of time people are depressed and keep them from getting as depressed as they would without medication. Hopefully, the medication will help bulimics control their eating disorders." Volunteers must not have serious medical problems, may not be nursing or pregnant. The program will require volunteers to visit the University Hospital on a weekly outpatient basis. Those who do not qualify for the research may still receive free evaluation and referral.
