ESTABLISHED 1894

Editor’s note: This is the first of a three
part series on eating disorders.

By Lindsay Hendrix
Features Editor

Talk shows and magazines glamor-
ize thin and gorgeous celebrities,
while simultaneously urging women
to accept their figures.

Yet, for some, dietin seems the
only way to achieve t e physical
image needed for social
acceptance.

When girls begin to
mature in the preteen and
early teenage years, they are
extremely vulnerable to the
pressure of what society
considers acceptable.

Although some argue
that the rise in eating disorders in
teenage and college women cannot be
directly related to media images of
thin female models, some experts in
the field disagree.

“I think it has a lot to do with it,”
said Dr. Laurie Humphries, a UK
psychiatry professor.

“You don’t realize how much it has
to do with it until you experience
other cultures.”

The British, for example consider a
larger range of sizes for women more
appropriate than Americans.

Those under extreme pressure are
women in high rofile professional
occupations, such as reporters and
business women.

When comparing American
anchorwomen and British anchor-

women, the latter often would be con-
sidered “frumpy” by American stan-

dards.
But when these societal ressures
are recognized by women, e task of

keeping such demands from influenc-
ing their self-esteem is almost impos—
sible.

However, Dr. Humphries said she
does not think this is an excuse for
women to fall into the trap.

“What I see is that women are pas-
sively accepting that they are
supposed to be this way to
be accepted,” Humphries
said.

' It is for this reason,
'y Humphries suggests, that
those in high risk groups,
including women in college,
take preventive measures
before any hint of an eating problem
appears.

These include evaluating self-
esteem, getting help ifit is low, main-
taining good nutritional habits, and
following the food pyramid.

Above all, Hum hries said that col-
lege women nee to monitor their
own behavior.

If they find that most of their time
is spent thinking about or discussing
weight or looks, they need to make a
change.

An obsession with appearance is
dangerous and can lead to self—
destructive behavior, she said.

For incoming students Humphries
said to “make a list of things you like
about yourself.”

The building of one’s own self-
esteem can be an excellent means of

because a low
self-image is
the primary
contributor to

Among college
women, the fear of
gaining weight
results more often in

Clark iirst tan
in Big Blue line

By Chris Easterling
Sports Editor

A familiar feline fan is back on campus to ensure
he gets the best seat in what will be a packed Memo-
rial Coliseum house next month when UK begins its
defense of the national title.

With 38 days until “Bi Blue Madness” on Oct.
18, Wally Clark is back in ont of Memorial Colise-
um, waiting for the days to wind down until the
public gets its first view of the UK men’s basketball
team. Last year, Clark got in line for the event 17
days and 18 hours in advance, which was the earliest
anybody had ever started to wait for the start of
practice. Clark will shatter his own mark by a whole
21 days. One major change from last year is the
event won’t actually be a “Midnight Madness.”
Instead, UK decided to move its No. l recruiting
tool from its traditional midnight time on Oct. 15,
the official starting date of the college basketball
season, to Friday at 8 p.m.

“It just means that we won’t have a true Midnight
Madness,” Clark said. “I didn’t know (they changed
the date) until I got here.”

The time change didn’t disappoint Clark, who
has attended many events in the past.

“I’ve seen it for years and years and years,” he
said. “To me, Midni ht Madness is the first night
that they can show t e team — that’s what we’re
used to. They just changed it a little bit, that’s
alri ht.”

lark said he’s making some changes from how

he camped out for the event in 1995. New to this

ear’s wait is Clark’s RV. Last year, he had nothing
but a sleeping bag and an old van.

But thanks to a friend whose camper was up for
sale, he can lounge in comfort at least until some-

body else shows up to get in line. Clark said he
thought UK students treated him well last time,
with the exception of one student who broke the UK
flag off of his van.

But Clark has no hard feelings toward the
youngster, who wrote Clark a long letter apologiz-
ing for his action.

“(He told me) the reason that he couldn’t ay for
the flag earlier was because he couldn’t afforcfit,” he
said. “And I can understand that (with him) goin to
school. I don’t know how much (of his education he

is paying for himself.

“I forgave him the day after (it happened)," Clark
said. “He came up and apologized. I don’t think any-
body told him to, because I don’t think anybod
knew who it was exce t the police, and I don’t think
they said anythin to im.”

Clark chalke the incident u to a college mis-
take. “The kid just decided that e had done wrong
and wanted to make it right,” he said. “He made up
for his mistake. And everybody makes mistakes,
especially in college.”

unnnu Senate rejects
same-sex marriages

 

   

WASHINGTON —— The Senate dealt a double
blow to gay-rights activists Tuesday, votin to
reject same-sex marria e in federal law and ki ling
a separate bill that won (I have barred job discrimi—
nation against gays.

The Senate a proved the Defense of Marriage
Act, 85-14, sendin it to President Clinton, who
said he will sign it. he House approved the same
bill by a S-to—l margin in july.

“This should not be cause for any sort of dis-
crimination or gay bashing,” Clinton said, adding
that he regretted that the discrimination bill had
failed.

Conservatives hailed both votes as validation of
their views.

The marriage bill defines marriage in federal
law as a legal union between one man and one
woman and allows a state to refuse to honor a
same-sex marriage performed in any other state.
States would still have the authority to legalize gay
marriages, but the federal government would not
recognize them.

m Kurdish reiuuees return Items

CHUWARTAH, Iraq — On foot or piled in
goaning buses and rusting trucks, thousands of

urds streamed back to their homes Tuesday after
fleeing a steamrolling militia allied with Saddam
Hussein.

The quick boomerang of the refugee flight ——
racing out, then pouring back — came after word
spread that Saddam’s troops were not taking part
in the KDP campaign against the rival Patriotic
Union of Kurdistan.

Most returning refugees said they feared retalia-
tion by Iraqi forces in Sulaymaniyah, a PUK
stronghold.

The ones most reluctant to return appeared to
be those with strong ties to the PUK, whose lead-
ers fled toward the Iranian border.

The recise number of refugees is not known.
Some .N. refugee officials have put the number
possibly as high as several hundred thousand. But
residents and KDP fighters estimate the figure to
be much lower ~— at 20,000 to 30,000 people.

Noted sculptor on display

By Tiffany Bryant

Contributing Writer

The city of Lexington is now honoring
one of UK’s finest.

Laura Makowski, a 22—year-old graduate
student from Washington state, has been
named one of the top 25 sculptors in the
nation by Sculptor Magazine.

All of this recognition has stimulated
the “Laura A. Makowski: Sculpture and
Prints” exhibit, which opens today at the
Arts Place.

Makowski began her college education
at the University of Notre Dame, pursuing
an interest in law.

As her interest and majors began to
change, her love for art began to strength—
en.
“I have loved art since high school,”
Makowski said.

She went on to earn her bachelor’s
degree in fine arts from Notre Dame in
1995.

It was at this time that UK caught her
eye.

After only three years of sculpting,
Makowski has received a number of awards.
Her most recent include Outstanding Stu—
dent Achievement in Contemporary Sculp—
ture from the International Sculpture Cen-
ter in Washington, DC, and Best of Show,
AKUO, from the Lexington Art League.

What causes her imagination to create

the final pieces seen in the galleries?

“Interactions I have daily become my
ideas," Makowski said. “From there, my
idea becomes the sketch.”

From start to finish, the process for one
piece can take anywhere from one week to
two months.

Collectively, the entire exhibit presented
at the Arts Place took Makowski between
50 and ()0 hours a week throughout the
summer.

Makowski describes herself as ambitious
and hardworking.

She is also very happy with the work she
has done.

When asked how she distinguishes her-
self from the other artist, Makowski said,”I
categorize myselfas a feminist In defin-
ing and then discarding the accepted, usual
code of what is to be a woman, I am devel—
opin r a new discourse.”

T e collection of Makowski’s work
revolves around this tender atmosphere.

“Wielding the instruments of a tradi-
tional male domain, I produce a decidedly
feminist body of work,” she said.

“By operating in the male arena but
invoking a female aesthetic, I contribute a
voice to women where historically there has
been silence.”

Makowski’s exhibit will run Monday-
Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and on Sat—
urday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 22 to
Oct. 16.

HBIIIIIS' new llllllll screams hate

By Kira L. Blllilt

Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Racism. Sexism.
Street violence. Drug abuse. The hedonis-
tic and heartless America of the 19905.

Everythin annoys author-rocker Henry
Rollins. An that everything makes up a
chapter of his latest book, Eye Scream.

Rollins calls the chapter “Everything" a
section “where I could just dump.“ And
dump he does.

“It’s one long exhale," he says. “It’s basi-v
cally just my disgust and fear of what this
country is. It’s an amazing place, but at the
same time, it’s the scariest place I’ve ever
been.

“It's an intense culture we live in, and it’s
so crass — it’s nightmarish, it’s vulgar.
That's what the book was tryinr to get
across — it is burning and we're al playing
violin.”

With that in mind, Rollins, who is 35,

doesn’t think he’ll live past 50.

“I cannot expect a long life,” he said. “I
want one (but) it’s not a given in my opin-
ion anymore.”

Many sections of the book deal with
relationships; the first, “Mekanik,” exam-
ines “the hypocrisy of morality and the nuts
and bolts ofsexual mechanics,” Rollins said.

“(It’s saying) ‘I’m the embodiment of all
that stuff that at parties on say you’re not
into, but when you’re a one, you do,"’ he
said. “I don’t necessarily believe or support
all the opinions in that section, but the goal
was to play devil’s advocate.”

Rollins is at turns violent and macho and
tender and vulnerable. He is also at times
very funny.

“I have that macho side because I enjoy
it," he said. “I think men should have it
without being intimidating and date-raping
and all that stuff. I have some sensitivity
because I’m not stupid. I’m aware of my
emotions."

WHAT'Syour Sign?
By Suzanne Bafleld V

Aries (March 21-April 19): On Saturday, the
two hemispheres of your brain get into a fight and
stop communicating with each other. Obviously,
this causes some real problems for you. For
instance, you become so unresponsive that your
roommate mistakes you for a vegetable and
attempts to serve you as a side dish with dinner.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Your pet fish die.
While you are contemplating their loss, you sud-
denly remember that they weren’t real. In a fit of
manic shopping, you purchased a battery-powered
fish tank containing magnetic fish. Happy day.

Gemini (May 21—June 20): You will have a fan—
tastic week. Bluebirds will whistle on your shoul—
ders, and small angelic fairies will sprinkle your
path with gold glitter. Makes you want to get up at
6 a.m. and sing the praises of being alive, huh?

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Cancer is the sign of
the crab. Crabs are spiny, cold-blooded creatures
who like to rnaim their enemies. You make the call.

Leo Ouly 23-Aug. 22): Next week will be emo-
tionally challenging. You will fall in love with a
goat that was grazing on the side of the road.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Is it me, or are there
just more people on campus this year? Virgo, it’s
your job to ease the traffic flow. Every chance you
get, start randomly kissing your fellow students.
That should send a good chunk of the student body
running home.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Supposedly, you’re
the jolliest sign. I suggest you dust off your old elf
costume and parade around campus while doing
various gymnastic stunts. That ought to show
everyone just how damn jolly you are.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A classmate notices
the many doodles of clowns you have been making
in your notebook. A look of horror crosses his face,
and he exclaims, “Are you okay? Because that’s the
same drawing my uncle used to make before he was
convicted for sexually harassing the local circus

opulation.” You wonder what your classmate has
been smoking.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): While doing

our lab experiment in chemistry, your partner

breaks a glass tube. The individual proceeds to
throw the glass at you. “What’re ya doin’?” you
scream. Your lab-mate replies, “I'm sorry. For a
moment, on looked like my ex, and I had a
moment ofy misplaced anger.”

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): On Thursday,
you become personally responsible for famine, war,
and the general malcontent of the world. So it goes
without saying that this weekend will be a bit
rough.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): While you are
walkin to class, your free-floating anxiety catches
you of -guard by whacking you in the face. Now,
not only do you have to deal with your anxiety, but
you are bloody well frightened of it.

Pisces (Feb. l9-March 20): The concealed
weapon law is going into effect in a couple of weeks.

R.E.M.
New Adventures in Hi-Fi
Warner Bros. Records
* t ‘k *

Two weeks ago, Pearl Jam
released No Code, the best album
they’ve done so far. I guess it
makes perfect sense for R.E.M. to
do the same thing with New
Adventures in Hi—Fi.

The band has continued to
evolve from their days of indie
deviance to pop stars to super-
stars. And who would have
thought that, in the midst of an
exhausting tour and a slew of
medical problems in the band’s
personnel, these Athens, Ga., boys
would put together their best
album to date?

New Adventures opens with
“How the West Was Won and
Where It Got Us,” a sad, heavy-
hitting introduction to an album
full of mood swings.

From there, the album blos-
soms in different directions, tak-
ing on a variety of shapes and
Sizes.

I could write a whole article for
each song on the album. From
“Binky the Doormat” to “New
Test Leper,” each track offers a
certain vulnerability that hasn’t
been there in a long time.

One thing that critics and
R.E.M. fans are always looking for
is some lyric about which they
could say, “Yes! They’re talking
about themselves here!" It hap-
pened with “Everybody Hurts,”
and it happened with “Losing My
Religion.” And I have to admit, I
like to play this game, too.

The autobiographical lyric I
came up with was from “The
Wake-Up Bomb,” one of the
neatly—packaged pop songs on the
album. “I threw up when I saw
what I’d done,” Mr. Stipe sings.

 

Stimuli cllllllfllclts In a recent interview with

release another album next year and do at leart one more tour by 2000.

Autobiographical? You be the
judge.

All the songs on Automatic for
the People are similar in sound; the
same is true for Mom‘ter. New
Adventures, however, breaks this
recent trend and offers one of the
most diverse albums R.E.M. has
ever done.

For those people who champi—
on the “early R.E.M. is the best”
cause, take a little adventure into
Hi-Fi. After one listen it’ll wrap
around you, consume you and
never let go. — R.D.

First Band on the Moon
Mercury Records

Are you ready for a brand new
sound?

One that will make you want to
get up and dance? One that makes
Madonna look like Tiffany and
Pearl Jam look like New Kids on

the Block? Well, you won’t find it
here.

I’m talking about The Cardi-
gans. They are a band from Swe-
den, and they’re launching an
invasion of the United States with
their second CD, Firs-t Band on the
Moon.

While the title sounds intrigu-
ing and creative, some of the
band’s sounds are not.

When I first listened to their
music, I didn’t think they were too
bad. I thought they had that new
Seattle sound with a retro flare.
The only thing I really disliked
about this band was the lead
singer. In the beginning she
sounded pretty good; she seemed
to be part of that Tori Amos/Ala-
nis Morissette new wave in' female
singers. But then I listened closer.

She has a high-pitched voice,
and at first I described it as
“fresh.” However, after listening
to it a little more, I started to
wonder what she was whining
about.

Long after the CD was over, I
could still hear her mousy, shrill
