February 21, 1984 Volume LX111 Number 36 The (Jaiversity of North Carolina at Greensboro Have a story idea? Call us at 379-5752 ^ Candidates for SG Vice-President Colleen Quinn, Senior Acting major, is playing Nina in "The Sea Gull." She is playing opposite Bill Wendt. See story, page 3. ^ j BY SANDY ALVIS N«waE«n«r Apathy has been used by many of the candidates for student govern-ment to describe the lack of involv-ment with campus activities. Apathy is also an appropriate word to use while looking at the empty stalls on election day. A group of unidentified students have shown a great deal of concern over student government election, specifically for the office of Vice-President. Un-fortunately, these students have chosen to show their support in a way that is harmful to the other candidate. During the week of campaigning the candidates for the office of Vice- President have been harassed and threatened. The candidates Corey Hudgins and Wendell Carter are unaware of who these students that are causing the trouble are. Hudgins has been verbally threat-ened and had her room broken in-to. Drawers were opened, some files were moved, and some of her cam-paign documents are missing. Two of Hudgins' supporters' cars were severely damaged. Carter has received some anonymous threaten-ing phone calls. Carter reports that, "I've been lucky. I've only receiv-ed a few calls and comments. Some of them had racial overtones." Carter is black and Hudgins is white. Hudgins exasperatedly said, "I've been called a bigot, which infuriates me especially consideraing all the work I've done with Student Government to insure provisions for equal treatment for everyone on campus." Chuck Murph, Student The "Thinness" Fad By SANDY ALVIS Newt Editor A lone figure walks toward the dorm carrying an inconspicuous looking bag. Could it be another suitor coming by to entertain his young lady? No, this is a man of great importance. He is commonly referred to as "the pizza man." He calmly delivers the pizza to a group of girls who act as though they haven't eaten in weeks. The girls then disappear with their treasure and proceed to eat themselves into oblivion. This is a scene common to most college campuses. College, which has traditionally been known as a time to expand your mind, has also gained the unwanted blame for the expansion of many waistlines. The infamous "Freshman Ten" are often the beginning of a long and sometimes fatal battle of the bulge. The need for social acceptance. stress, and the problems of being away from home combine to make the college years a time for a varie-ty of nutritional problems. A study done by two researchers at Toron-to General Hospital, David M. Garner and Paul E. Garfinkel, revealed that 12 percent of college age women have some type of serious eating problem. Psychologists have carefully placed names on the new herd of nutri-tional diseases. But basically they can be divided into two main groups, anorexia nervosa and bulimia. Anorexia nervosa is usually defin-ed as a loss of at least 25 percent of one's normal body weight. Despite their skeleton-like ap-pearance the victims of this afflic-tion feel as though they are overweight and constantly worry about how to lose weight. They are on a never-ending diet that can cause scores of health problems and eventually death. Bulimia victims have the luxury of eating all they want and more. Then they rid themselves of the enormous amount of calories by vomiting or using laxatives. They often use diuretics, amphetamines, and are prone to over-exercise. These are two of the most ex-treme types of eating disorders. Overall they are fairly healthy yet their constant dieting and resulting see-sawing weight can eventually produce problems. They also ex-perience the mental anguish of always being five or ten pounds overweight. They constantly go on fad diets and fast, only to quickly return to their overeating habits. Numerous conversation! are dedicated to the topic of dieting and the agony of being fat. A study researched at Ohio State University at Columbus attempted to discover what type of women are susceptible to anorexia nervosa and bulimia. They polled three groups of female subjects: 944 sorority women, 28 upper-level dance ma-jors, and 244 regular coeds. The results showed that 23 percent of the dance majors, 16 percent of the sorority women, and 9 percent of the regular students had some type of eating disorder. The obvious reason that so many dance majors are effected is because their future career depends on how their body looks. The sorority women ap-parently have a problem with eating disorders because they usually are more socially oriented and therefore concerned about their appearance. Susan Squire discusses male anorexics in her book The Slender Balance. Approximately 10 percent of all anorexics are males. She says that male anorexics are usually am-bitious and hard working like the females but the males tend to be unorganized as opposed to the Fight Back-door Campaigning Government Vice-President, com-ments "The irony of it is that it takes place during Black History Month." Student government has worked on activities for Black History Month. With all of the trouble and tension one would think that the candidates do not get along. The opposite is true. By their actions and statements the candidates have shown that they are not upset with the other. Because of working together in the past they get along well and claim to respect each other. Carter says, "I'd call us friends. We've worked together for two years." Hudgins says, "I want to dispel rumors. I have not accus-ed Wendell of doing anything and I don't blame him.' Murph says, "It's sad this thing has gotten out of hand. I regret that it's gotten blown out of control." The obvious reason that it has got-ten out of control is that no one can identify the perpetrators. Neither of the candidates believe that the trouble could come from either of their official campaign supporters. Hudgins says, "There is no way 1 can point out that it is any of Wendell's campaign helpers or supporters." The problems have been reported to Campus Security and Vice Chancellor Allen held a discussion with the candidates on Monday. Murph claims, "It hasn't nearly reached the magnitude that people have made it appear. It will subside after the campaign is over." Carter says, "Corey and I both have the qualifications for the office and we agree on some of the issues. I think obsessive, organized manner of female anorexics. Male anorexics are more difficult to treat and have a more dismal prognosis that, females. The reason for the explosion of eating disorders is the importance that has been placed on thinness in recent years. Advertisements, movies, and magazines stress the importance of being thin and conse-quently beautiful and glamorous. To many this may appear to be a silly fad, but actually it's a dangerous disease. Not only does this obsession cause mental anguish and physical deterioration but it can and often does result in death. The only way to cure this afflic-tion is to get rid of the pressure to have the perfect figure. This will probably not happen overnight-there is too much profit in marketing thinness. There are many organizations who have gotten together to fight eating disorders. If you or someone you know has this problem you can get advice by calling: HELP Line 274-4357 or Family to Family 373-1402. For more information you can write to American Anorex-ia/ Bulimia Association, Inc., 133 Cedar Lane, Teaneck. N.J., 07666 or call (201) 8361800. we would both handle it in the same way." "I don't see either of them as being racial bigots. I think people will find this out after they are elected," Murph commented. The two candidates have been desperately trying to show the stu-dent body that they do not want that kind of support. Along with a joint letter to the editor in today's Carolinian, they also attended the forum at the Presbyterian House on Monday. Carter insisted, "Corey and I are both concerned about the election, the students, and the safe-ty of our campaign people. We don't appreciate people working for us in a negative way." Elections will be held February 21 and 22 in the dining hall for dorm students and on the main floor of Elliot University Center for com-muting students. New Candidates Speak at Presby House Forum BY LEIGH TRAPP Several new candidates spoke at the Presbyterian House Forum Mondsy evening. Those candidates who recently joined in the election campaingning or who were unavailable for comment at the past forums were given an opportunity to express their ideas and platforms along with candidates who had already spoken at previous forums. Davis Swaim, who is running for the office of Student Government President has been involved with Student Government for approx-imately two years. During that time he has served on EUC Council, NCSL and several other organiza-tions. "My ideas are plain and sim-ple," he aaid. "The main thing is to adopt the new constitu-tion ... (which) gives us new representation." In addition, Swaim stressed that he would always be available to talk to the students and be open to their new ideas. Write-in candidate Lori Tyson has been involved with SG for two years also. During that time she has served as a Senator and she is cur-rently serving aa Current Concerns Committee Chairperson for Senate. Tyson stressed s need to recognize and encourage all organizations on campus. "Student Government should communicate and create an atmosphere of freedom ... snd (en-couragement) for student participa-tion. SG should rally behind these social organizations such as EUC." Tyson also voiced her hopes to strengthen development of minorities and to provide more ac-cess for handicapped students at UNC-G. In addition, she said SG should be receptive to the needs of students by dorms, CSA, Senate and other organizations com-municating and working together for the benefit of all. Kent Mathewt, who is running for SG Attorney General has been working within the UNC-G Judicial Branch for three years. In addition to protecting the students, Mathews said he would like to work on promoting education about Judicial matters. "Education is a field we need to work on. I would like to see the Judicial Branch offer career workshops to educate the students about the Judicial system." Mathews also said he would like to see a faculty advisor sppointed to help people make career decisions who are working within the Judicail Branch spec-trum. Mathews summarized his ideas, "We would like to educate students. They need to realize that the Judicial Branch is not something to be afraid of." Commuting Student Association President candidate Dewey Whitaker has served ss CSA Vice President this year and served as a board member the year before. Whitaker said he plans to continue with the basic programs CSA has offered in the past. "I would like to see more deli's..that is, if we don't get another cut in our budget... because CSA's main responsibility is social programming we hope to provide several activities and programs for the commuting students to enjoy in 1984-85." The UNC-G Rugby Club won two matches against Duke Saturday, beating the Blue Devils 13-6 and 12-6. UNC-G Graduate to Run For House Ann Duncan, a graduate student in the Master of Public Affairs at UNC-G has filed for the North Carolina House of Representatives after returning from the Southern Leadership Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. Duncan has been a school teacher, and a social worker in child abuse and child welfare, most specifically in placing children in foster homes. Because of her experience with education, she is interested in im-proving the North Carolina education system. 'The quality of education in North Carolina has long been neglected. Teachers' base pay needs to be drastically upgrad-ed, followed by merit pay awarded for excellence. Professional teachers should not have to con-tinue to plead for equitable wages," Duncan protests. Ann Duncan advocates efficiency in government. "My kind of leader-ship will signify attentive analysis of issues. No bill will be signed without careful research and understanding of that bill, con-sideration f the relative cost, and discretion as to its benefits to our citizens of Forsyth County." Duncan's crime awareness in For-syth County comes as a result of serving on the grand jury this year, currently as foreman. "1 am appall-ed, and recognize a need for stronger drug-laws, because a large segment of other crimes stem from drug-related involvement. The cold facts are that crime does not solely occur in large, far-away cities, and we do not want Forsyth County citizens to live in fear of it." Duncan, 45, is the wife of Dr. Don Duncan, a retired U.S. Navy Cap-tain. They have five children, the youngest a senior in college. The Duncans reside in the Grandview area of Pfafftown. Ann Duncan is not new to politics, being the daughter of Judge and Mrs. John H. Quarterman. Judge Qusrterman served several years in the Georgia State Legislature. Ann is a proven leader herself having won awards such as the Leadership award from the Elks Club, and elected Educator of the Year by the Jaycees in Nassau County, Florida, as well as a Superlative in her high school. Mr. Duncan's social and civic leadership over the years include many volunteer activities. Ann attended the University of Georgia and received a Bachelor of Science Degree from Jacksonville Universi-ty, Jacksonville, Florida.
