ing a number of events for

impact Hispanics have had
on North American cul-
ture. said Noemi Lugo. di-
rector of the Latin Ameri-

“There has always
been a heritage here. but
not everyone acknowl-
edges the history." she
said.

The event has been
celebrated on campus for
more than 10 years.

“For me. Hispanic
Heritage Month is every-
day.“ said Lugo.

The Latin American

Eating disorders in males often
go unmentioned, unreported

Health: One million
males reported to have
eating disorders

B_y Matthew Towner

CO_NYRIBUTING WRITER

It's a common and often
ignored scenario: The young
student. once full of confi»
dence. is reduced to a shell of
his former self. He worries
about looking attractive and
is no longer happy in school.
The images of grandeur that
spurred his ego are giving
way to self-loathing and feel-
ings of sadness.

If this student is like
many others. he has a distort»
ed body image and severe is»
sues with food.

Eating disorders.

 

 

whether formally diagnosed
or not. are a fact of campus
life. Despite what some col-
lege textbooks may preach.
eating disorders can just as
easily affect male students as
female students. said Mary
Bolin-Reece, director of the
UK Counseling and Testing
Center.

“i believe it is important
that students and others are
aware that disordered eating
and body image concerns are
not limited to females." she
said.

One million men have
eating disorders. according to
the National Association of
Anorexia Nervosa and Assov
ciated Disorders.

The association reports
86 percent of affected men
report the onset of the disor-

derby the age of no.

S(‘l(‘ll(‘f‘.

A lower prevalence of
eating disorders in males is
partially to blame for this
trend. but isn't the only fac-
tor cotniiig into play.
Stephenson said.

“Eating disorders tend to
be kind of nondescript in
males." she said. “Yet males
still have the same problems
with food that women do."
