At 10:34 p.m. Wednesday, six university students were involved in a serious
car accident which resulted in two fatalities.
Julie Hansen, 19, a sophomore from
Rockville, Md. and Maia Witzl, 19, a
sophomore from Arlington, Texas, died
at North Carolina Baptist Hospital during the night.
As of early this morning, sophomore
Aline Iodice, 19, of Pilot Mountain, was

The long-delayed Shorty's pub/coffeehouse
will be open by the first day of class in the
spring, and construction of the accompanying
;• patio outside of the Benson University Center
will begin this week, according to senior Tina
Schippers, the Student Government president.
Workers are already carrying the arcade
equipment out ofthe existing Shorty's in preparation for the remodeling which will take place
over the course of the semester.
Shorty's will be in the lower level of Benson
adjacent to the food court and will include an
external patio. It will be completely separate
from the food court except for an entrance
from the food court. Although the dimensions
of the patio have not been determined yet, it
will be large and made of either cement or
,, brick, according to Schippers.
At an open forum held. Tuesday, Schippers
explained how Shorty's will serve a variety of
snack foods including healthy options, coffee
and beer in the evening. Students can purchase
all items on the current student meal plans.
There will be no wine or hard liquor sold.
"ARAMARK, who will be catering Shorty's,
is liscensed to sell only beer and wine,"
Schippers said. "Although th~ administration
wants us to start off serving just beer, I feel
confidant that we will eventually also serve
wine."
Shorty's will be offering coffee throughout
the day and into the night. Although the time
has not been set for when beer will be available, Shippers believes that it should be around
5 p.m. Shorty's will be open to stud'?nts under
21 at night, but the bartender will check student identifications and drivers' licenses.
SG plans to conduct a student survey this
semester to find out how students feel about a
smoking room. No decision has been made yet
in that matter, Schippers said.
Shippers hopes that the coffeehouse/pub
will act as an alternative to fraternity parties
AND BLACK REPoRTER
Several changes in policy and
pursuit of new goals have made
the beginning of this semester -a
busy one for Student Govern-ment.
As a result of SG' s negotiations with the administration, a
15 percent increase in funds
was allocated to the Student
Budget Advisory Committee.
The budget will continue to in. crease an additional IS percent
annuallyforthenextthree years.
Last yeiu SBAC had
· $333,000 to allocate to student
organizations. Junior Chris
Cathcart, the SG treasurer and
chairman of SBAC, said that all
organizations will stand to benefit from the budget increase.
"It's a substantial increase,"
Cathcart said. "It's definitely
more than we usually get."
"Last year a lot of people got
upset with SBAC because they
felt they did nQt get the funds
they needed," said senior Tina
Schippers, the president of SG.
According to Schippers, this general discontent motivated last
year's executive committee to
begin working on SBAC budget
reforms.
.
Schippers said last year's studentgovermnentworkedclosely
with the student government of
this year to negotiate with the
administration. "We are very
happy and very fortunate that
the administration is· so willing
· to give us this money," Schippers
said.
·
According to Cathcart, SG is
for social activity on the weekends. Shorty's
will probably be open unti11 a.m. every night
of the week.
There will be several television sets located
throughout the complex, including a big screen
television for sporting events and various
programmings. Other entertainment includes
an arcade with pool tables and a stage for small
bands that will play occasionally and open mic
nights.
. ·
The walls and tables will be plastered with
black and gold, banners, posters, pictures and
memorab,liafrom the university's history. The
memorabilia committee is ci.J.rrently working
with John Woodard, director of the N.C. Baptist Collection in the library and the university
archives, to find objects to display.
According to Shippers, the reactions of the
students have been mostly positive so far, with
many students already planning to frequent
Shorty's.
Freshman Susan Eggers, who was one of the
also working on a new system
of funding for organizations
through SBAC. Cathcart said
the new system would require
organizations to compile
progress reports and a list of
objectives for presentation to
SBAC.
"(This system) allows us to
evaluate the organizations in the
future in an objective and fair
manner," Cathcart said. "It's
also a new method ior student
organizations to really display
what they bring to the student
community."
Cathcart added that though
the number of student organizations this year is expected to
surpass that of last year, the
increase in the SBAC budget
should help to provide all organizations with the money they
need.
The main focus of other SG
policies is the maintenance of
communication with both students and administration. "Last
year we opened the channels of
communication greatly,"
Schippers said. She added SG
will continue to appear on
WAKE TV this semester, possibly via a program. According
to Schippers, relations between
SG and the administration have
improved significantly since last
year as well.
Schippers also said she and
others in SG plan to work on
legislature reform, primarily in
the area of. accountability.

Thomas said efforts are being made to increase the
amount of contact between students and faculty. One
of the goals of the new theme years is encouraging
interaction between students and faculty by giving
them a theme around which they can build forums and

enable us to interact on different levels," she said.
According toThomas, one obstacle the program
may face is lack of interest by students who may not
be crazy about interacting with faculty members in
the residence halls. Also, faculty members' commitments to their families and outside activities may
· make it hard for them to find the time to devote to the
mentoring program, she said.
To further encourage student-faculty interaction,
Thomas and Paul Escott, the dean of the college, are
developing a mentoring program in coordination with

The College Students Experience Questionnaire was one of the tools
used by George Kuh, a professorofhighereducation at Indiana University
in Bloomington, and the outside consultant to the university to evaluate the
school.
The CSEQ was administered by the Office oflnstitutional Research last
spring. Half of the members of the freshman, sophomore and junior classes
were randomly selected by computerto receive the survey. Students turned
in the survey with their registration materials ..
The completed surveys were sent to Kuh, who tabulated the results. Out
of the 1,454 students surveyed, 528, or 36 percent, responded.The total cost
of the survey and the tabulation was about $2,225, according to Ross
Griffith, the director of institutional research.
According to Griffith, the survey response was low but statistically
viable. "Sure, 60 or 70 percent would be better. But in terms of having a
good sample of the undergraduates, I feel that we did," he said.
The CSEQ was the broadest student survey Kuh administered in the
course of his study. Using the CSEQ inforn1ation, Kuh developed a report
about the university.
Griffith said there are tentative plans to use the CSEQ again this spring.

Don't expect to get any.deals on your
textbooks any time soon. After another
week of bedlam in the bookstore, students
across camJ'>US are again questioning the
textbook prices.
"I'm angry about the prices," sophomore Karon Click said. "I think professors should make their syllabuses available to students further in advance so that
the bookstorecan'trun suchamonopoly."
Click spent more than $300 on her books,
and she is not taking any science courses,
which usually require the most expensive
texts.
"Here the prices are in line with the rest
of the country," said Bill Holston, the
textbook department manager at the College Bookstore, said. "We're pretty typi- ·
cal of the prices you'll find throughout
universities."
David Dyer, the director of university
stores. said that the College Bookstore
sells texts within 25 percent margin of the
publisher's recommended price. Since
there is no price fixing, some universities
may sell books at a slightly lower or
slightly higher margin.
"Across the nation, the average is 25
percent," Dyer said. Holston said that the
bookstore is part of the university, not a
separate organization, and does not operate specifically to make a profit.
"At this time, I don't know if we're
making any money or not," Holston said.
"The university stores and all of its
operations payforthemselves," Dyer said.
"Any profit that is made goes to the university, to the general fund."
"I think one of the largest misconceptions that I thought was funny was that I
own the store and I get the proceeds," said
Holston. "In the name of customer service
and faculty satisfaction, we often do things
that are bad for business. We are here
primarily to serve the faculty and students. That's our primary objective."
Holston said book prices have risen
steadily over the 17 years he has worked
at the bookstore. The average price for a
hardback text is around $70, and a softcover text is about $40. Even small novels
can cost between $10 and $15.
"At this point, the publishers are setting
the prices," Holston said. "Price is not as
important to the publisher as the editorial
content of the material." He said that
while some professors are cost-conscious,
in most cases they pick the best book for
the class, regardless of the price.
"When you boil it down, even th~ student wants the best book he can get,"
Holston said.
Holston expressed concern over the rising costs of texts, but saidh~did not know
how this could be stopifed directly.
Dyer said that while rising prices are a
fact of economics, he does think that textbook price inflation is greater than normal. "I think publishers are raising prices
out of proportion to inflation," he said.
Dyer said that while standard inflation

Dale R. Martin, a professor of accounting, was
awarded the Price Waterhouse Professorship for
Academic Excellence.
The professorship recognizes outstanding effectiveness in teaching and an overall commitment to
academic excellence.
Martin, who joined the faculty in 1982, coordinates the accounting prpgram for the Calloway
School of Business and Accountancy.
In the past, students who wan~d good
seats for a big ACC match-up would camp
out outside the Benson University Center
to ensure a good spot in line when the
tickets were distributed.the next day. However, things have changed this year with
the installation of a lottery system.
According to a flyer mailed to every
student early last week, students will arrive at Benson on one of the scheduled
pick-up days ·between l p.m. and 2 p.m.
Each student will be issued a numbered
ticket stub, and a stub with the identical
number will be dropped into "the hat".
This identical stub will have the number
of tickets tl\e student has requested, between one and six.
At 2 p.m., a lottery will be held, and
students will receive their tickets in the
order that they are drawn from the hat.
The, lottery will continue until all the
tickets are distributed.
There will be four of these lotteries
throughout the season, two on Saturdays
and two on Sundays. These dates are Nov.
3, Dec. 8, Jan. 18 and Feb. 8. There have
been no changes in the number of tickets
available for each game.
"There will still be over 3,000 tickets
available for every game," said Judy
Cunningham, the director of ticket office
operations. For almost every game there
will be a ticket available for every student."
Another change in the ticket distribution pr6cess involves guest passes. In past
seasons, students were able to purchase
guest passes for most non-conference games
at the same time that they picked up their
student tickets. Under the new policy, guest
passes will not be available unless there are
student tickets r.emaining after the lottery.
"There weren' (any guest passes available
for the big games before, mostly just the
games over C!nistmas break when the stu·
dents are away," Cunningham said. "Now
we will just take whatever tickets are left
over and offer them for sale as guest passes,
due to the increased demand by the students
for the tickets."
The policy was implemented in an effort
to eliminate camp-outs and make ticket distribution convenient for students.
A major factor in wanting to eliminate the
camp-outs was the amount of trash left behind by camping students."
The university administration also wanted
to eliminate cainp-outs. "They wanted to
keep students from missing classes because
.they were camping out," Cunningham said.
Students who attended the football game
Aug. 29 against Appalachian State University noticed some changes in the ticket process, as well. Tickets were no longer needed
to gain admittance, students needed only to
place their ID in a key-card reader. When it
flashed green, they were allowed inside.
Once inside, the entire student section was
open seating, as it traditionally is.
The Screamin' Demons student fan club
will have a limit in membership. "The
Screamin' Demons will be no smaller than
before. The section of seats allocated for
them will be just as big or bigger than before.
We just decided to put a cap on the number
of students, to make sure there are enough
seats for everyone," Cunningham said.
Campus crime up, more security implemented
Bv EMILY BREWER
ASSIST ANT NhWS EDITOR
The number of crimes reported and
calls responded to by Campus Police increased dramatically last year.
According to the Campus Police annual
review and year-end report for 1995-96,
there was one reported rape, one aggravated assault and two robberies.
"Statistics prove that nationwide, only
two in 10 rapes are actually reported,"
Campus PoliceChiefReginaLawson said.
"Although only one was reported, it is
possible that there were others that went
unreported, just by the nature of the crime
and the acquaintances involved."
Among the four Rape Agression Defense courses offered last year, 23 fe-
males earned defense certification. This
year, police will research the possibility
of making the RAD course a curriculum
program.
Violent crimes decreased in number,
save for the armed robbery of five students and the strong-armed robbery of
another student.
There were also 47 burglaries, one arson, 97 property damages, two peeping
Toms, 12 drug violations and 18 alcohol
violations.
Police responded to 166 fire alarms, but
only two were intentional and the majority were activated by cooking.
The campus shuttle service responded
to 1,500 calls last year. The service operates from "dark to l a.m." and according
to Lawson, is mostly used by students
who live in satellite housing.
The long walk to the north campus and
to the Townhouses and to Palmer and
Piccolo residence halls can be intimidating and unsafe after dark.
As part of a plan to improve security all
over campus, police have installed and
are continuing to install additional lighting along the walkways to these more
secluded areas of campus.
Police have developed a comprehensive plan to renovate the emergency telephone system.
Parking on campus continued to be a
problem as 16,877 parking violations were
cited. There were 71 reported auto accidents and five DWis.
All student residentials areas, with the
exception of Student Apartments, are now
on 24-lock with card access, and the installation of gatehouses and fencing along University Parkway should make the campus
perimeter more secure.
This year, police hope to expand the installation of card access to selected academic buildings and other sensitive areas.
"Right now, the various departments in·
Tribble Hall are discussing whether or not to
lock down Tribble in the evenings," Lawson
said. "No decision has been made yet."
The technological upgrade of the Tribble
Hall make the area more sensitive to crime.
With the influx of IBM ThinkPads on the
campus, police are encouraging students to
take caution to prevent theft or damage to
their computers.
"We are promoting the cable lock device," Lawson said.

Opera legend Beverly Sills will speak at the university's
opening convocation 11 a.m Sept. 24 in Wait Chapel.
Sills, one of America's leading supporters of the arts, will
speak on "The State of the Arts." Admission is free.
Sills' career as a soprano saw her perform more than 70
operatic roles, including title roles in such works as La
Traviata, The Barber of Seville, Julius Caesar and The
Magic Flute, among others. She has sung with all the
world's major opera companies and went on to serve as
the general director of the New York City Opera. She also
acted as managing director of the Metropolitan Opera and
is currently the chairman of the board of the Lincoln
Center for the Performing Arts.
A recognized articulate and passionate advocate of
public arts funding, Sills has been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, has served on the President's Task
Fore~ on the Arts. and been a oanelist for the National
11
;;
Endowment for the Arts. On top of
all this, Sills has fulfilled some critical civic duties by serving as chairwoman of the board for the March
of Dimes and as the national chairwoman for the Mothers' March on
Birth Defects.
Among Sills' numerous awards
are two Emmys for the British
Broadcasting Company's Profiles Sills
in Music: Beverly Sills and NBC's
Lifestyles with Beverly Sills. She has also gained national
praise for her PBS presentations of/n Perfonnance at the
White House, Gala ofthe Stars, and Skylines with Beverly
Sills. Not only is Sills an internationally recognized
performer and patron of the arts, but also the author of
Bubbles: A SelfPortrait, Bubbles: An.Encore, and Beverly:
An Autobiography.
Sills' address is in conjunction with the YearoftheArts
theme, and marks the beginning of a year-long celebra-
~'
lion and recognition of the arts, including concerts, a
symposium and visiting artists, among several other special events. Several students have already shown their
enthusiasm by taking part in the Year of the Arts Jam that
was held last month.
Sandra Boyette, the vice president for public affairs,
said, "We wanted someone who would be a dynamic
speaker, and everyone we came in contact with who had
heard her speak told us how wonderful she was. We also
chose her because she's become known both nationally
and internationally as an advocate of the arts." As for
Sills' address on "The State of the Arts," Boyette said that
she saw great relevance to students in several ways.
"Qne of the big issues is where the arts belong in the
education process," she said. "When it's time to cut
spending, music and art teachers are the first to go." In
addition, Boyette said that Sills' address would touch on
the subject of national funding. "Since it is an election
year, students should be aware of the candidates' standing
on the arts in order to make sound, informed decisions."

The landing of nearly I ,000 Th_ink.Pads into the laps of
the Class of 2000 has brought its expected share of quirks
and quandaries. Freshmen report that the IBM laptop
computers, which they received as part of the tuition
'' package, have presented some minor complications in the
.past two weeks.
According· to Lynda Goff, the information systems
support services manager, the major problems that have
occurred have resulted from faulty ethernet cables. "IBM
is committed to taking care of this, and 250 new cables
should be arriving this week," Goff said.
Many students experiencing minor difficulties with
their ThinkPads have sought guidance from the Resident
Technical Advisors (RTAs).
Sophomore RTA Justin Holcomb of Collins Residence
Hall and a fellow RTA are responsible for approximately
230 freshmen. Holcomb estimates that in the past two
weeks he has assisted 200 students.
Holcomb said that the majority of problems that he has
dealt with this year have been network problems. ''There
has been much confusion among the students regarding
log-on and passwords," Holcomb said.

Assi-stant News Editor Emily
Brewer colllributed to this article.
However, the students who organized the series last
year recently decided not to hold another series this year.
"The reason I'm not doing it again is there's not much
response," junior Suzy Danks, a prior coordinator for the
series, said. "Once students are outside the classroom.
they feel like they've put in their time. Part of it is also that
students are busy."
There is a possibility that the series may be continued
this year by another Huffman resident, Danks said.
Danks said that attendance was fairly good when she
became involved with the series in her freshman year.
Since then, despite the good response from the professors
involved, student attendance at the series has been low.
Danks said this was particularly discouraging because the
series is held in an (lcademic theme residence hall.

BY BRIAN WHiTE
As soon as the freshmen fibally unpack their bags and
settle in for the academic year, tbe Office of Residence Life
and Housing is offering "a free overnight adventure for first
year students only," otherwise known as the first annual
freshman retreat. This retreat will be held at the Montreat
Center Sept. 13-14.
The theme of the retreat is "Unpacking Your Bags." It is
a product of the goals for the Plan for the Class of 2000 and
was developed by RLH last year. Gay Dunton, the assistant
director of RLH, said. "It is a way for first-year students to
become acclimated to their new environment and a way for
them to have time to self reflect."
The retreat is also intended to follow the idea of strengthening the intellectual climate at the university.
"I see this retreat as an opportunity for freshmen to have
a small group experience and be able to meet new people and
to interact with members of the faculty", said Mary Gerardy,
the assistant vice president for student life.
The purpose of the retreat, as stated in the flyer mailed out
to every freshman, is to allow students to set goals for their
future and to learn more about the values and culture within
the university. Though for many, "the most important
goaL. .is to go and have fun," Dunton said.
Some of the freshmen share the administration's goals for
the retreat. "I signed up for the freshman retreat to get to

college experience," freshman Matt Gudenius said.
·
This retreat may be for first-year students only, but
Dunton said it is just a pilot program for other plans. "Based
on the response and feedback about the freshman retreat,
other retreats for the other classes may be planned at a later
date," Dunton said.
Even though there has not been ~n e':ent call~d the ·
freshman retreat in years past, Dunton 1s qmck to pomt out
that other events are a! ways being planned with the student's
best interest in mind. The committee hopes that a retreattype environment such as this one will develop. into a
tradition that will encompass more students then JUSt 60
freshmen and become a large part of the university life.
This trip is free for any freshman interested and 80 have
signed up already. However,there are only approximately
60 slot~ for freshmen due to space limitations imposed by
the Montreat Center. Paul Barnes, associate director of
RLH is very excited by the large number of responses. The
extra students that signed up will go on an alternate list and
other activities may be planned for later this year.
The retreat will leave from the campus at 2:30 p.m. Sept.
13 and return the next afternoon. To promote small group
interaction and friendship among the attendees, there will
be approximately four groups of 15 freshmen. Paired with
each group will be a faculty member, an administrator and
an upperclass student.
THEFT - Four wooden stools were taken from
an unsecured locker room in Reynolds Gymnasium between 11 p.m. Saturday and 9:15 a.m ..
Sunday. The university-owned stools were worth
$120.

The students met with-: executives
from nine companies, each of whom

Kline Harrison, an associate professor of business and accountancy,

.
According to Harrison, the students
who applied to go on the trip were
selected on a first-come, first-served

precedence over rising juniors.
The trip began in London with visits to Nations Bank, British Airways
and Smith-Kline Beecham.

organizations, will meet twice a year to discuss objectives and foster interaction between organizations.
Schippers said the presidential cabinet

the students.

Ethnic, environmental studies

"We're offering a variety of four-credit
BY PATRICK KELLEY
AssiSTANT SPORn EorroR
Students looking to broaden their academic
horizons and add a minor to their degree have
new areas of study to choose from this fall.
The university has added two new minors to
the curriculum.
Starting this semester students can earn a
minor in either environmental studies or
American ethnic studies.
According to Robert Browne, a professor
of biology who is teaching introduction to
environmental science, the environmental
classes will cover, among other things, bio- ·
logical resources, agriculture, forestry and
fossil fuels.
Classes will also be offered in the relationship between the environment and other subjects such as economics, geography, physics
and politics.
John Litcher, a professor of education who
is coordinating the minor, said that it will
require 28 credits, 24 of which will be locked
into certain classes and a choice of four elective credits. He recommends that students
take the introductory class in their sophomore
year and then try to work the other require-

some topics related to the environment in literature and cuiture."

elective courses, which will touch on some
aspects of a variety of different social sciences. We may even try to explore some
topics related to the environment in literature
and culture," Lichter said.
"There has been a really great response to
the addition of the minor," Brown said.
"We have about 25 students right now in
the introductory course with more trying to
work it so they can add it to their course load.
Everyone has been very positive about this,
and there has been a long interest in this topic
over the years."
"We are very thankful that we are finally
able to do this," Litcher said. "This has been
a long time coming, and with the relevance of
this topic today we feel it will be extremely
popular."
The other new minor being offered this
year is in American ethnic studies.
According to Earl Smith, professor of sociology who is coordinating ·the minor, this 1
addition is the result of 10 years of lobbying
by faculty and the admini~tration for studies
in American ethnicity. Over the last 10 years
a variety of courses have been offered in
areas such as anthropology, psychology, sociology and English that touch on themes
relating to the study of American ethnicity.
This addition will be an interdisciplinary
minor featuring a variety of unrelated courses
that will give students a systematic study of
American ethnicity. Students will be required
to take a total of 24 credits for the minor.
Eight ofthese credits will be in the two core
courses, one of which is American Ethnic
Studies 151, the introductory course to the
minor that Smith will teach himself. The
second required course will be offered in the
spring and will concentrate on research in
American ethnic studies.

new concerns
It has recently been learned that
the campus coffeehouse/pub is
only going to serve beer at the bar
because ARAMARK does not
have a license to sell liquor. Wine
can be sold, but there are no plans
to do so until after a trial period of
just beer. There is something about
this idea that is not right.
The idea of having a pub on
campus is unique and inventive. It
will most assuredly give everyone
a place to congregate and be merry.
But, if the university is going to
classify this building as a "pub," it
should have a full-service bar.
Understand, this statement
should not be misconstrued to read
that the Old Gold and Black is
screaming for hard liquor and wild,
drunken fiestas.
The fact of it is, however, that,
even though this is a college campus, not everybody who drinks
alcohol likes to drink beer.
When deciding whether or not
to include wine as a beverage, two
things need to be considered, and
neither should be the alcoholic content of a beverage.
Prirnarily, these are supposed to
be responsible adults oflegal drinking age who are patroning Shorty's.
What they drink should be an individual decision.
If a person were to get out of
hand, he should suffer the same
consequences that people who become rowdy at any bar would suffer. To assume that wine will cause
a problem because it has a stronger
alcoholic content is not fair.
Secondly, the bartenders at
Shorty's would presumably have
the same responsibility as any bartender would. All bartenders know
that one glass of wine equals one
beer. If a student is drinking excessively, the bartender has the authority to regulate that person's
intake.
Calling Shorty's a pub without
allowing it to actually be one is
self-defeating. If the university
plans on making Shorty's a success, it should first give it a fair
opportunity to do so. The university needs to stop assuming that
students will falter and allow them
the same responsibilities as adults.
Students able to select own activities
A
nother weekend has gone by,
and once again university stu
dents have disappointed our
older and wiser superiors.
There were, faculty and administrators will say, too many fraternity
parties, too little intellectual and cultural activity, and too much consumption of alcohol by students with nothing better to do.
This is hardly a new refrain, nor is
it a concern that is foreign to many
students. The topic of social life and
the extracurricular interests of students has been debated for years, but
the issues have assumed new prominence recently.
The controversial Lilly Report last
fall, the recent report by an outside
consultant on the university, and the
ups and downs of our long-awaited
campus pub/coffeehouse have kept
the problems of our social climate in
the headlines.
Many students are perfectly happy
with the social scene here, but I also
know that many are not, and some
havebecorneunhappyenoughtoleave
the university.
BRIAN DIMMICK
MANAGING EDITOR
Faculty and administrators want to
blame this on students, and often on
Greek students in particular, who they
say place too much emphasis on nonintellectual extracurricular activities,
especially the consumption of alcohol.
I do not know if this is true, and I do
not feel qualified to make value judgments on how students spend their
time outside of class.
Whether or not this is true, the
solutions suggested by the administration and the assumptions they make
about students concern me.
First of all, proposals to change the
intellectual and social climate have
not sparked much student interest.
While they protested and heatedly
debated the building of gates, students showed little interest in the recommendations of the Lilly Report
and in the building of Shorty's. When
they have debated them, students have
often been skeptical of both.
If students are not enthusiastic about
these plans, what effect will they have
if, and when, they are implemented?
Not much, by themselves.
The administration often seems to
The administration often
seems to think it can change
attitudes among students

think it can change attitudes among
students through a mandate from
above, and that if sufficient activities
are provided and changes, made students will reform.
However, the fact is that students
choose the activities they want to
participate in and devote out-offclass time to. Moststudentslknow
are not blessed with an abundance
of free time they need to fill with
new activities; they know what is
out there and choose what is important to them.
The Greek system is so popular
because a large group within the
student body chooses to participate in these activities; providing
new activities is not likely to
change this for students who really want to be Greek.
When students want new and
different activities, they have
shown themselves able to provide them.'
In the past three years, organizations such as the Philomathesian
and Euzelian societies have been
started. They offer activities that
are an alternative to parties and
alcohol, and that seem to be fairly
well attended. Students are capable of organizing social activities to fulfill their needs, in whatever form these activities may
take.

don't know about you, but my parents seem to
have some sort of warped impression of college
life. They see it as a four-year long episode of
Melrose Place; an environment in which studying is a
close second to parties and friends.
Like no other fear, my parents threaten me with
visions of "the real world." I can almost hear them
now, "In the real world you won't have time to sit
around and write witty stories. You'll have a job and
responsibilities."
The existence of the "real world" in and ·of itself
serves as a scare tactic to justify fast-paced growing
up.
However, most of us tend to block out the notion that
there really is life after college, and instead concentrate on living these four years as if they are all we've
got.
Every now and again, though, I'll catch myself
doing something that I realize to be some sort of adult
decision. And suddenly the real world of tedious
responsibility no longer seems so. far away. This past

Volleyball· goes 1-2 t~ open season
BY JosHUA HoFFMAN
CoNTRJB11TINCl REPoRTER
It was a housewarming of sorts for the
women's volleyball team as they opened
its inaugural season by hosting the first
i; Wake Forest Volleyball Tournament.
For the most part, the university was a
cordial host. The school made sure that
the visiting teams felt at home in every
place on campus except one: the volleyball court.
The Deacons out-set, out-hit and, in a
nutshell, outplayed Campbell in sweeping the match 15-5, 15-12, 15-1 Saturday to mark the first win in this new era
of Demon Deacon volleyball.
The Deacons also lost to Coastal Carolina, who eventually went on to win the
,, tournament, Friday, and Appalachian
State Saturday. Freshmen Katie Home ·
and Jessica Sammis terrorized the front

only one point in the final game.
"I thought it was a successful weekend," Home said. "Weplayedbetterthan
we thought we would. We all had a really
good time. The Wake crowd was really
supportive."
,
Even though the Deacons fell to Appalachian State and tournament champion
Coastal Carolina, it was not the defense::
that failed the home team. The Deacons
held both of those teams to a hitting
percentage under .250, and,they were
never out of any game. Campbell was
even more completely dominated, mustering only a .095 hitting percentage
against the impressive Deacon defense.
"We played better than we had ever
played," Cowley said. "We are just going to keep on improving."
It was in offensive consistency that
was the Demon Deacons' worst enemy
in this tournament. The Deacons managed only a low .137 hitting percentage
against Coastal Carolina before rebounding to hit .417 against Campbell.
The Deacons must play a more balanced game on the offensive end, and
play it consistently if they are to hang
with ilie top teams in the.ACC.
As far as the immediate outlook is
concerned, Jones knows that only through
experience will her team improve.
"As young as we are, and as inexperienced as we are playing together, every
match we play is important and everything we learn is going to help us get
better."

Hockey falls to Minutem.en,
rebounds to better Bucknell
BY GREG Wru;oN
CoNYlUBunNo REPoRTER
With the help of a strong group of underclassmen and the experience of veteran players, the
Demon Deacon field hockey team built confidence during their weekend games. After losing
to Massachusetts 4-1, the team rebounded to beat
Bucknell4-1 in the second game Saturday.
"We didn't execute very well against UMass,"
sophomore forward Kelly Simon said. "But against
Bucknell we played well as a team."
· Two early goals by Massachusetts put the Demon Deacons from which they were not able to
recover. Against Bucknell, the team also started
slowly, tied 1-1 at the half. However, in the
second half the team came together and scored
three unanswered goals to finish off the game.
"Against UMass we allowed two early goals
and we felt a little down," senior goalkeeper
Wendy Mumford said. "But in the second half
against Bucknell we began to use our passing and
our speed to our advantage."
Although the team fmished the weekend with a
win and a loss, the players were satisfied with the
progress they made during the games. After working out a few rusty errors against the Minutemen,
the team began to gel against Bucknell.
"This weekend -was pretty successful,"
Mumford said. "Unfortunately, we had a loss. But
we learned what we needed to work on as a team,
and by the end of the weekend we were playing as
a cohesive unit."
The team will need to rely on teamwork for
their next game. The Demon Deacons face James
Madison Friday. The Dukes were NCAA champions in 1994 but the Deacons upset them last
year on the road. This year, ilie Deacons hostJMU
Friday at 2 p.m. at Campus Stadium.
"This is a huge game for us," Mumford said.
"After last year's game, they will have revenge on
their minds."
However, despite their loss to Massachusetts,
the team feels well-prepared to handle the challenge that James Madison will present.
JMU uses a tenacious, attacking defense to
wear teams down, and the DemonDeacons are
hoping that they wm be able to use their speed on
the front line to combat this
approach.
The Demon Deacons also
feel that they have progressed from last year and
will be an even more formidable opponent for James
Madison this year.
"We are a much better team
at this point this year than
we were last year," Simon
said. "We just need to play
well for 70 minutes and play as a team to succeed
against James Madison."
The Deacons are hoping to capitalize on a rule
change implemented this year that eliminates the
offside penalty in field hockey. The team feels
that its speed at (he forward position will allow it
to take advantage of this rule.
The players also believe that their speed in the
backfield will help iliem neutralize opposing
teams' scoring chances.
"We have one of the fastest forward lines in the
ACC, in fact, one of the fastest teams overall,"
Mumford said. "We should be able to utilize our
speed to score more often."
State receives a 19-13 taste of life in Division 1-A
lead at the end of the first quarter.
The second quarter, however, served as a
launchingpadfortheDeacons' designs. With
a stable offensive attack highlighted by the
adept passing of sophomore Brian Kuklick
and the determined running of senior John
Lewis, the Deacons put themselves in position for Hollows to hit field goals on two
consecutive possessions.
Following a brief Mountaineer possession,
the Demon Deacons
continued to pry open
the flood gates in the
second quarter. On a
third-and-eight from
the Deacon 48-yard
line, Kuklick connected with a wideopen Thabiti Davis.
Davis, a junior
wideout, sprinted all
the way to the Mountaineer 11 before being tracked down by the
Mountaineer defense. Kuklick called Davis'
number again on the next play, hitting the
receiver for nine yards before finishing the
job himself by lunging into the end zone for a
two-yard touchdown. At halftime, the Deacons held a 13-7 lead.
In the second half, the Demon Deacons
seized control of the game. Playing efficient
and technically sound football, the Deacons
were in charge on both sides of the ball.
Defensively, the squad put a end to Scott's
ruthless ground attack by limiting him' to half
of his first-half output. A strong effort from
the secondary made it virtually impossible for
the Mountaineers to get a passing game going.
"Our defense kept coming up with fumbles
and interceptions and knocking the ball loose
and just did a great job," Head Coach Jim
Caldwell said.
Senior strong safety Tom Stuetzer and junior cornerback D'Angelo Solomon led the
Demon Deacon defense with key plays
throughout the game. Freshman Reggie Austin, replacing senior Major Griffey who was
injured in the second quarter, made his first
appearance as a Demon Deacon an impressive one. Austin notched a pass deflection in
an important third down situation, and an
interception.
The Demon Deacon offense was also steady
in the second half. With senior linemen Doug
Marsigli and Tony Y ameli opening gaping
holes, the rushing game nearly doubled its
first half yardage.
Leading the running attack was Lewis who
finished with 42 yards on 15 carries. Redshirt
freshman Morgan Kane also contributed 41
yards in his first game as a Demon Deacon.
Kuklick continued his solid passing, finishing with 301 yards passing.
In the final stanza, a pair of Hollows field
goals countered the two field goals posted by
Mountaineer kicker Jay Sutton to ensure the
Demon Deacon victory.
Having defeated the challenges of recent
history, the Demon Deacons must now fight

Olympic games have traditionally been
events during which the nations of the
world cast aside political differences and
simply square off on a field of play.
Contests such as those designed to single
out people who can run the fastest, lift the
most, or play basketball the best know no
political boundaries: they are simply products of the human mind's need to fathom
just what the human body is capable of.
This summer, however, the Centennial
Olympic Games were marred by a significantly different attitude: an attitude that,
though it had nothing to do with a pipe
bomb or a terrorist group, was every bit as
caustic and dangerous. These games were
the ones when the American media began
to lament the superiority of American athletes.
The actual Games in Atlanta, if you strip
away the layers of terrorism, reactions to
terrorism, and syrupy-sweet NBC television coverage, will perhaps be best remembered by Americans(quite ironically)
as the games during which Michael Johnson
and Kerri Strug triumphed, and the Dream
Team began to seem like a dumb idea.This
last revelation, created and then hammered
home by the media in a torrent of worthless
refrains, went something like this:

Bv PAUL GAETA
CONTRJIItrrL'IO RliroRTER
The Demon Deacon women's soccer team and its highly
coveted freshman class started the season in impressive
fashion this past weekend as they coasted to the championship of the Inaugural Wake Forest Kickoff Classic held
at the Spry Soccer Complex.
The Deacons then followed up their performance with a
3-1 road win Wednesday evening over UNC-Charlotte.
Freshman sensations Anne Shropshire of Lexington,
Ky. and Liz Burnette of Raleigh combined for five goals
as the Demon Deacons dominated with victories over
LaSalle in the first match, 3-0, and Duquesne in the
championship, 6-0.
"The tournament was just tremendous," said Chris Turner
Head Coach . "It was just a perfect setting playing under
the lights in such spectacular weather.Everyone left the
tournament with nothing bad to say."
In the Demon Deacon's first game Saturday against
LaSalle, sophomore Meredith Lester produced the Deacons' first goal of the season with a pretty shot from 25
yards out at the 14:50 mark of the first half. Both teams
went scoreless for the remainder of the half.
When the second half rolled around, however, the
Deacon hooters came out firing and did not stop until the
conclusion of the Kickoff Classic. The scoring spree
started when Shropshire converted a free kick from 20
yards out at the 67:40 mark and then scored five minutes
later on a cross from freshman Allison McPheely giving
the team a 3-0 lead. The Demon Deacon defense held tight
for the remainder of the game, allowing only three shots
and leavingjunior goalkeeper Jack.i Ball virtually untested.
Duquesne posted a 1-0 victory over Drury College in the
opening game earlier in the day as sophomore Colleen
Mulhair scored the lone goal early in the first half. Drury
outs hot the Dukes 14-11, but their defense played strong to
secure the victory.
The Deacons and Duquesne faced off the next night in a
game that was a championship only in name. Behind two
goals from Burnette and goals by Shropshire· and sophomores Julie Scott, Norine Ferbach, and Andrea Pelletier,
the Deacons routed Duquesne 6-0.
_
After two goals in the first half, the Deacons came back
to score four more, including three in a period of five
minutes. Once again, the defense preserved the secondstraight shutout for Ball allowing only three shots. Drury,
who beat LaSalle earlier in the night 4-0, fmished in second
place for the tournament because they scored more goals
than Duquesne.Ttirner was ecstatic with his team's performance especially on defense.
"Our defense this weekend was absolutely solid," he
said. "(Junior) Cheryl Zimmerman and (sophomore) Jessen
Snyder, who never played defense for our team before,
.
really stepped it up in the back, and (freshman) I.:.auren
Hook; played great off the bench," he said. Even more
remarkable about the defense's play was the factthey were
missing sophomore Rachel Thomas, a regional All- American last year. Turner was equally ecstatic with the smooth
transition his talented freshman made from high school
.
soccer to college.
"Every year our recruiting class gets better, but this year
has been tremendous as you can see from performances
this weekend," Turner said. "The freshman this year have
been adding intensity to practices and leadership on the
field and the fact that five started this past weekend shows
how important they are to our team," he said.
"I told them that they aren't freshman anymore but
rather players like everyone else on the team, and they
really have stepped it up." Stepped it up might be an
understatement, though. Five of the nine goals were
scored by freshmen, and Shropshire was named tournamentMVP.
·
Wednesday saw the Deacons keep their winnng ways
alive with a 3-1 win after road-tripping down I-77.
This coming week will be more difficult for the Demon
Deacons, as they will travel to Campbell Saturday. The
Deacons, who are ranked eighth in this week's regional
ranking, need to defeat both teams in order to stay in the
polls. Both teams are unrank.ed this week but are usually
in the rankings.

Grassroots band
to record album
today at Ziggy 's
BY AND\' FERGUSON
Eo11 oRlAt.s

F
or the past two years, Vertical Horizon and
its grassroots, acoustic rock sound has
been a fixture at Ziggy's. Winston-Salem
and the university have witnessed the band's ascent as it has grown from opening shows with
Jackopierce to headlining sold-out shows of its
own.
Today and Friday. Vertical Horizon will be
recording its first live CD at Ziggy's.
According to Matt Scannell, who, along with
Keith Kane, is a founding member of the band,
Ziggy's was chosen for multiple reasons. "We
love performing at Ziggy's. We look forward to
cutting our record here for two reasons: the sound
is incredible and the crowd sings our songs louder
than we do."
Kane said that many factors contributed to the
band's qecision to do a live recording.
"Logistically, we wanted to do something. We
have been putting out a new CD eveey two years
and we wanted to continue with that. We also
wanted to keep our fans happy, though, and put out
a record that they would enjoy.. " he said.
According to Kane, the opportunity to produce
a live CD offered a different insight into the band
than a studio album could. "Our live shows are
very different from our albums. There is a more
intense sound," he said.
The exact format of the CD has yet to be determined. According to Kane, there is going to be a
mixture of songs from their first and second albums, as well as some new tracks.
"We have set aside some songs that we definitely want on the record, and we are going to play
those both nights," Kane said. 'Then there are
other songs that we are not sure about, so we are
just going to play some different things and see
which songs we like the most."
Kane and Scannell have been playing together
for five years now, since their college days at
Georgetown University. Vertical Horizon began
playing as an acoustic duo, with both members
writing, playing and singing.
After the band's first record. There and Back
Again, received strong reviews and a modest following, the two decided to expand their sound by
adding a rhythm section.
'The acoustic guitar, intrinsically, has its limitations. We wanted to get people moving at our
shows. It's so much more fun when eveeyone is
dancing." Kane said.
With the rhythm section came the band's second
album, Running on Ice, which was produced in
1995, and in many ways was the band's breakout
album, as it started headlining shows and increasing its fan base exponentially. An original pressing of l ,000 CDs catapulted into 10,000 CDs sold.
The band also had some help from its peers in
making the album successful. Carter Beauford,
the drummer for the Dave Mathews Band, did the
percussion for the album, and close friends Jack
O'Neill and Cary Pierce of Jackopierce, supplied
background vocals on some of the tracks.
Since the album's release, the band has been
touring extensively with Ryan Fisher, who has
Vertical Horizon will record a live album today and Friday at Ziggy's. The band, which has been
called the male version of the Indigo Girls, has an acoustic, mellow sound popularized in the area
by frequent performances at local clubs and a 1995 album, Running on Ice.
been with the band for over a year, and its most
recent drummer, Ed Toth. According to Kane,
touring has been the most effective means of
promoting the band's music.
"As an independent label band, the best thing we
can do is hit the road and just beat out the message
that we are teying to send in our music. (Touring)
is a string of highs and lows," he said.
Scannell said, "Living on the road is hard and it
takes a Jot out of you. Physically, I know that I
cannot do this to my body forever. It's not realistic.
But, while I am young, (playing professionally) is
giving voice to a veey personal, deep-rooted part
of me."
The band is leery about signing a record deal
with a major label, but continues to keep its op-

but there is also a lot of extras that you have to deal

"With or without a major !itbel, we are just
going to keep doing what we do and try to get our
name to that next level," Kane said.
Through eveeything, the band remains excited
about its future. "It's veey flattering when we
encounter people who really like us. It's strange to
have people ask for an autograph in front of my
dad, or my friends: Sometimes, you get so caught

Instead, director John Frankenheimer' s (The 1

the development of the ears, the eyes and the

a self-reliant, hardy type, willing either to
shoulder a heavy backpack or paddle a canoe

to these people willing to endure a rocky bed
or a drenching shower. Its visitors spend an
average of more than four days in the park; the
national average is a dismal two hours.

··Dumpling a powerful piece of luck
Bv MicKEY KRAYNYAK
SPORTS EDITOR
Female-fronted modern rock
groups are a schizophrenic bunch.
More often than elsewhere in the al1• temative scene, the genre is a fertile
breeding ground for the disposable
musical gimmick. By this I mean the
context that allows a talented artist
like Liz Phair to begin her most successful single with the line "I have
looked all over the place I But you
have got my favorite face" and still be
taken seriously, or which allows the
band No Doubt to exist.
By contrast, the genre has alsQ produced some of the most poignant
music created over the past several
years, and some of modern rock's
catchiest hooks.
Amid this varied landscape has
blossomed Moonpools and Caterpillars, one of the last two years' only
refreshing new modem-rock offerings.
Boasting a female lead singer
whose lyrics manage to be earnestly
,, playful and arrestinglyheartfelt;·and ·
a band which has not abandoned the
art of the clever-but-not-overdone
hook, Moonpools and Caterpillars can
lay claim to the title of best kept
secret in a scene which tends not to
keep enough of them anymore.

chaser chooses two or three songs
(overplayed singles, usually) as life
preservers and slowly grows to tolerate the remainder of the record: Lucky
Dumpling is a keeper, nearly from
start to finish.
Album highlights include an early
barrage of catchy, upbeat pop tunes
which are as remarkable for their consistent musical originality (the music
hints of Sundays influences, but is
otherwise without reference) as they
are for their lyrical viability:
"Hear", "Ren" and "Trampling
Rose" are not simply good riffs into
which disposable lyrics have been
shoe-horned. They are musical
achievements, maturely polished, but
without forsaking the enthusiasm of
an immature band's struggle for finn
footing.
Lead singer Kimi routinely adopts
a lyrical perspective which is endearingly earnest; listeners are treated to
the rare sound of a wide-eyed child
who has an adult's ability to articulate her impressions of the world
around her.
The experience is perhaps'no more
powerful than in the ballad "Heaven"
in the middle of tl1e album, when
Kimi reassures distant friends (we all
do it, no matter how hopeless it feels)
over a background of wistful, subdued guitar plucks.
The band's take on life, andKimi's
take on how lyrics should be sung, is
alternately infectious and refreshing.
Lucky Dumpling is a rare find: full of
moonpools, caterpillars and enough
legitimately talented originality to
solidly fill48 minutes of album space.

"I have to go burn off these calories."
"I only drink Diet Coke."
' "I'm' riot hungry, really, I promise."
"There's no way I'm going to eat something with
that many fat grams."
"I'd kill for. my body to look like that."
How many times have you heard comments like
these? They occur frequently, especially on college
campuses. While they vividly illustrate society's
preoccupation with food and weight, they often
indicate more deeply rooted problems.
According to Natascha Roineo, university health
educator, up to 20 percent of college students suffer
from eating disorders. When other problem eaters are
included, such as "fad" bulimics and anorexics, the
"numbers can increase to over 50 percent.
Two years ago, a group of students went to the board ·
of trustees and cited eating disorders as one of the top
three problems on campus. A group of students and
faculty consequently began ESTEEM (Education and
Support To Eliminate Eating Misconceptions) to raise
awareness of eating disorders and, moreover, to
encourage healthy living.
does not have a large number of overweight people,
especially in comparison to' the United States population, and that most people who think they are "fat"
have no idea what "fat" really is.
"Food is not your enemy." Romeo said. A balanced
diet does not consist of a bagel, frozen yogurt, and a
baked potato. Most people know what good nutrition
is, and probably do not even need to reduce their food
intake. They simply need to get more exercise if they
really feel like they should be in better shape. The
university does'provide nutritional consultations.
Eating disorders are complex, and have no simple
solutions, as they occur on a societal, communal, and
individual level. They are not just a medical or psychological problem, but are sociological as well.
Armentrout encourages women not to accept the
media's image of the perfect female body. Even though
bodies be the topic of discussion, and for women to ask
themselves, "Do we really want to be spending our
. time talking and obsessing about fat grams?" Romeo
said that spending every hour worrying about food,
meals, and bodies limits people to the point of not
living.
Romeo also said that people need to go beyond
shallow interaction to concentrate more on who people
are than on what they. look like. For example, it is
better to say, "I really enjoy talking to you," rather
than, "Oh, you look so cute today." Many people are
led to eating disorders because they lose a few pounds
and get so much positive feedback that their selfimages become centered cn their bodies. Junior Emily
Parrish, a member of ESTEEM, said that people need
to shift their focus to how great a person is instead of
how great his or her physical attributes are. Romeo said

Natascha Romeo

However, eating disorders are still prevalent at the
university because, like other competitive col~eges,
many students have Type A personalities and are
driven to be perfectionists. Because their lives can
seem out of control with in~reased social and academic
pressure, students look to manipulate the one area over
which they can have complete control: their bndies.
College living can e!J.C_5)'!_rag_!l_~!lting .Qisor:~!!!S:. The ..
II University is a
"appearance-COnSCiOUS campus,"
,, said Johnne Armentrout, the assistant director of the
Counseling Center. The pressure to fit in can be
overwhelming. Living in dormitories and halls,
especially all-female dorms, makes it easy for women
to compare themselves to others and to get caught up in
feelings of inadequacy. Romeo said, "Eating disorders
can spread through hiills like an 'epidemic,' because
·it's hard to feel comfortable eating macaroni and
~heese, a roll, and dessert, God forbid, when everyone
'' else is just pushing the food around on her plate."
Romeo also said that people can feel that exercising
for 20 or 30 minutes is insufficient when they see other
people exercising for three hours. Senior Matt
Wakefield, who works in the fitness center, said that
over-exercising - a form of purging- is definitely a
problem on campus. He sees people who exercise two
or three times a day, constantly weighing themselves,
yet denying that they have a problem.
Armentrout and Romeo especially warn freshmen
against turning to eating disorders as a way to solve the
problems they face as their lives are changing. Women
hear all about the "freshman 15" before they come tQ
~ollege, and by the time they get to college, they feel
they must go to any length to prevent gaining 15
pounds. In truth, just as many freshmen, if not more,
lose that weight. Romeo said the university actually

fashion models are thinner than 95 percent of the
population, they are still presented as the feminine
ideal. Romeo said that most men do not even like the
Kate Moss waif look. Armentrout said that women
need to feel more empowered, and to look at themselves as more than 'just a body."
If you have a friend who is suffering, express your
concerns without nagging, which increases pressure.
"Say 'I'm worried about you,' not, 'Here, have a
hamburger'," Armentrout said.
Armentrout stressed for males to be more sensitive to
the subject and not to make so many comments about
women's bodies, especially disparaging ones. While up
to 10 percent of sufferers are men, eating disorders are
largely a female problem. According to Armentrout,
society encourages men to think about body, weight
and food consumption in different ways. Therefore, it
is harder for men to realize the profound effects that
focusing on bodies can have on women.
Armentrout's advice to all women is to be "proactive
in challenging the cultural norm." She and Romeo both
said they want women to challenge and support each
other, instead of subconsciously trying to weigh less,
eat less, and exercise more than their friends.
Armentrout said she wants women to stop having
that since appearances change, looks are only looksand as she said, "Who cares?"
Armentrout is hopeful for the future, as more women
are seeking help for their problems. Eating disorders
can take years to overcome, so it is very important to
address the problems as early as possible by talking to
friends who exhibit any signs of having an eating
disorder. Romeo said that many women with disorders
say, "No one ever said anything to me." Intervention
can be met with denial and anger, but helping a friend
is worth that, as many women use eating disorders as a
cry for help in their lives.
Armentrout and Betsy Taylor, a Counseling Center
psychologist, are forming a positive bndy image and
healthy-eating support group this semester. The group
will not specifically concentrate on eating disorders, as
it can help disordered eaters or people with a distorted
body image.
Armentrout and Taylor encourage anyone interested
to come. As they stress, the cures for the problems lie
in increased awareness and changed attitudes. The real
problems will not go away until the country's climate
and "thin is in" attitude change, but that can only
happen when individuals consciously take action to be
aware and change their attitudes.

vera century ago, women were
considered desirable when they
displayed a plump figure. Women
with fat on their breasts, hips, thighs, and
stomachs were considered fashionable and
attractive. Within the past 75 years,
however, being slim has become the new
trend.
With models like Kate Moss gracing the
covers of fashion magazines, it is no
wonder girls strive to be skinny. In part,
this ideal thinness has contributed to the
rising number of adolescent females with
anorexia nervosa.
It is estimated that one in 200 girls in this
country is starving herself. Possibly 15 of
every 100 young girls with anorexia will
die. About half of girls who do not die will
fully recover and have normal lives; the
other half are likely to relapse and have
.
periods of bingeing and fasting,
The features and behaviors of anorexia
are very familiar to me. For six months I
slowly began to eliminate foods that were
fattening. Fir;;t I stopped eating meat, not
because I was concerned with animal
rights, but because it had too much fat.
Soon I stopped eating what my mom made 1
for dinner and started preparing my own
meals: either a baked potato or pasta.
If I craved a piece of chocolate or
something "sinful," I would put it in my
mouth. then realize I was eating fat an4 soit
it out. I began cooking a lot; making foods I
wouldn't allow myself to eat, but would
enjoy watching my family eat.
I became compulsive about exercising. I
would jump rope for long periods of time in
, my room and run every day. Weighing
Being healthy and being obsessive, however, are two very different things. Being healthy, exercis·ing to stay in shape and eating all
foods in moderation, is a respectable quality. Being obsessive, on
the other hand, over-exercising
and constantly thinking about
food and calories, is unhealthy
and dangerous.
myself several times a day became routine.
I dropped two sizes in clothing and stopped
menstruating for a year. Although I was
never actually diagnosed as anorexic, I was
obsessive about how I looked and what I
ate.
College students are vulnerable to
pressures that bring on eating problems,
such as a changing self-image, independence from family and developing sexual
relationshios. Even though W"'f!re heading
into adulthood, eating disorders are high
among students.
Many girls turn to controlling food to
hide their fears of growing up and being on
their own, believing that if they're thin
enough, they will be liked.
Hearsay claims that Wake Forest has one
of the highest percentages of women with
eating disorders in the nation. It is obvious
that a large amount of people on campus
are concerned with their physical appearances. Students can be found working out
at all hours of the day.
Being healthy and being obsessive,
however, are two very different things.
Being healthy, exercising to stay in shape
and eating all foods in moderation, is a
respectable quality. Being obsessive, on the
other hand, over-exercising and constantly
thinking about food and calories, is
unhealthy and dangerous.
The hardest part about eating disorders is
that mental recovery takes longer than
physical recovery. Even though my
experience with anorexia occurred five
years ago, my body and food remain a
painful concern that I must face every day.
If you think this experience sounds
familiar, you are not alone. If you are
worried about yourself or friends, there are
people to talk to.
If you do not want to talk to your friends
and relatives about your problems, the
counseling center offers confidential help
24 hours a day. You no longer have to sit
in silence. Helo is just a ohone call a~":av.
