Many of today’s young people choose not to vote, leaving the choice for their futures in the hands of others.
Young voter apathy will hurt election turnout
nPOLITICS: About one-third of young voters participated in the last presidential election By Matt Capuano
Daily Titan Staff Writer Ever since 18-year-olds gained the right to vote in 1972, voter turnout for this age group has been relatively low. The youth, 18 to 30, are 25 percent of the voting population in this country and can have a major impact on this upcoming presidential election. This belief is not lost on any of the candidates past and present. Since 1972 the youth vote has been an essential part of the presidential race. There is one problem in this whole scenario: the youth have been coming out in extremely low numbers every election. In an effort to get more youths involved in their futures, many organizations have mobilized in getting the information out and to get as many young people registered to vote in the process. Some examples include MTV’s Choose or Lose and Youth Vote 2000. Since the 1992 election,
MTV has been trying to raise issues with the youth of this country. They have organized debates with questions by the youth, in order to convince more people to get into the voting booths. The World Wrestling Federation has also been involved this year’s election and trying to get the youth to exercise their rights as American citizens. They have even invited the candidates for a debate on “WWF Smackdown,” their Thursday night show. They promote the youth to participate in their government and to “Smackdown the Vote.” However, registering someone to vote doesn’t guarantee that they will vote. The WWF is proud of having registered more people to vote through their efforts. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, only 32.4 percent of the nation’s registered voters ages 18 to 24 voted in the 1996 presidential election. The sad part of this whole equation is that this low turnout of young voters has become commonplace every election. Many experts have tried to figure out why the younger generation just doesn’t seem to make an effort to vote. The answer is actually quite simple. “It’s just not a political generation,” said Phillip L. Gianos, professor of political science at Cal State
Fullerton. “If the economy was bad or the draft was still in effect, more youth will show up. It’s just that there are no issues that concern youth.” Despite this apparent lack of relevant issues focused toward youth, some students are still planning to vote. “There may not be very many issues that apply to me, but I’m still going to vote. I feel that it is my right,” said criminal justice major Kristina Hoff. “Down the road, some of the issues may actually affect me.” Despite efforts to encourage more youth to vote, some people are still very negative about the whole process. “I’m not going to vote, because I don’t like either candidate,” said computer science major Chris Adams. “I feel that it would just be a waste of time.” In light of this, the main question that should be asked is whether the candidates are doing a good job of getting in touch with the youth. “The candidates have been trying to raise interest in the youth, but it is a tough sell,” Gianos said. “After a while, it is like beating your head against the wall. “This close to the election, the candidates are interested in mobilizing, not converting.”
Proposition 39 will attempt to amend the Education Code section regarding charter school facilities, but it would have an affect on all public schools. It would require each local kindergarten through 12th-grade school district to provide charter school facilities sufficient to accommodate each charter school’s students. Charter schools are independent public schools formed by teachers, parents and other individuals or groups that are exempt from most state laws and regulations affecting public schools. Voters have varying opinions on their stance regarding Proposition 39, which is on today’s ballot. Proponents of Proposition 39 say that the initiative for this measure provides authorization for bonds for the repair and replacement of school facilities and classrooms, if passed bonds would only need to be approved by 55 percent vote instead of the current two-thirds vote of the local electorate. Opponents say the two-thirds requirement protects a minority of homeowners from property tax increases caused by a majority of renters. “I don’t want to be taxed anymore, I think taxes are high enough as it is,” said sociology student Laura Villegas. Villegas is a homeowner and said that the proposition would raise property taxes if it passed. Child and adolescent studies student, Rhoda Fehrenbach, said she is going to vote in favor of the proposition because she feels that if it passes, less people (55 percent) will vote on the bonds rather than two-thirds, making the process for school repairs quicker. “Not too many different opinions will
make the decisions,” she said. Fehrenbach added that the proposition would give state government greater flexibility in approving school bonds. “People trust public schools enough but they don’t always meet everyone’s needs. Some kids are over challenged and others are not challenged enough,” she said. “The proposition will put more new things to be OK’d in school districts by local electorates.” Liberal studies student, Jenny Cheng, said she is also in favor of Proposition 39 because she believes it’s for the children and betterment of schools. “If it means getting out more resources to children quicker, go for it,” Cheng said. Supporters of the proposition say California needs 20,000 new classrooms to keep up with projected school population growth in the next 10 years. Public administration student, Rosalinda Flores, said she would vote yes on the proposition because the process of bond approval will be quicker. She added that it wouldn’t make a big difference to homeowners if the proposition passed because property taxes are low anyway. In contrast to Flores' opinion, communications student, Lyn Jordan, said she was unsure of what she was going to vote for regarding Proposition 39 because she felt the bond approval process would be slower. Jordan said she thought the proposition’s negative aspects were that it might take longer to get the projects done. “It [Proposition 39] might take longer because it will not lie in the hands of the administrators who have the day-to-day interaction and it will put it in the hands of the community, who might not have the day-to-day interaction with students and facilities,” Jordan said. Graduate student Noh Yoong-Jae said he believes the proposition ensures the commitment of quality to the children’s education, by lowering voter approval rate from 66 percent to 55 percent in bonds. “California ranks 47th in public

Sociology professor seeks seat in the state Assembly nELECTION: CSUF’s G. Nanjundappa will run for the 72nd District By Rita Freeman
Daily Titan Asst. News Editor
Mayra Beltran/Daily Titan
Sociology Professor G. Nanjundappa is running for state assembly seat representing several north Orange County cities.
She remembers how nervous he was at a recent debate at the Brea Community Center. But Natasha Perez, a political science major, said she was very impressed at how G. Nanjundappa, Cal State Fullerton sociology professor and the Democratic candidate for the 72nd District researched all the topics important to the people. “It [the debate] was a really relaxed atmosphere, but he looked so nervous and he said he had butterflies in his stomach,” said Perez, who has helped research and critique debates for Nanjun’s campaign. “He gave facts and figures, and that showed me that he worked hard.” Reaching out to the people and speaking about the issues is the goal of Nanjudappa, or Nanjun as his friends know him, during his race for the seat in the Assembly of the 72nd District.
“I think he is dynamic and I agree with almost every principle he is fighting for,” said History Professor Leland Bellot. “He has made a tireless effort to get his message across. He believes in what he is doing.” The major issues that Nanjundappa is fighting for are to improve the quality of education, promote access and quality health care, provide affordable housing and childcare, and improve the public transportation system by reducing traffic conditions, improving safety and reducing pollution. “The message to people is that my commitment is to improve the quality of life, secure a better future for them all,” Nanjun said. Another issue is the development of a regional mass transportation system by bringing together county and city governments. “I think that the long-range solution to the traffic problems now and in the future is to come out with a suitable and decent mass transportation system,” Nanjundappa said. The major education proposition Nanjundappa is in favor of is Proposition 39. He said that this measure would reduce bond approval by cutting the
http://dailytitan.fullerton.edu
two-thirds requirement to 55 percent and accommodate the projected growth of 300,000 students by the year 2003. “By reducing to 55 percent approval, this would enable schools districts, community colleges and the Department of Education to raise funds to build new schools and classrooms, the continuation of the class-size reduction program and help modernize and repair existing school facilities,” Nanjundappa said. Colleagues and friends call him dedicated, honest, sincere and committed. “He’s one that actually cares about the students,” said Elliot Sacks, Associated Students director of Statewide Affairs and aide to Nanjun’s campaign. “The 72nd District wants a change,” Perez said. Perez also added that Najundappa is the voice of reason and change. “He’s sincere, direct and honest, and I don’t see that in a lot of politicians these days.” Professor Tony Fellow, head of the Communications Department, said that because of the large split between the Democratic and the Republican parties in the district, the race might be difficult for him. Fellow said that demographics show
that there are 61,134 Democrats, 103,174 Republicans and 29,430 Independents in Orange County. “The ratio is 2-to-1,” Fellow said. “It is a very difficult district for a Democrat.” Though he said it is difficult, Fellow donated money to Nanjundappa’s campaign. “It is important to support friends and colleagues,” Fellow said. I think he will do a great job for the universities. One of his biggest struggles was raising enough money. But Nanjundappa said he got the job done using whatever resources his campaign team had. “Using whatever the resources, I think we did an effective job of reaching out to the people,” Nanjundappa said. Besides teaching on campus for more than 20 years, Nanjun is also the CSUF chapter California Faculty Association president. From phone banking to visiting door to door, Nanjun said that campaigning has been very demanding, but the work has not interfered with his other responsibilities. “I have managed to balance out my time for my responsibilities,” Nanjundappa said. “But I had to make sacrifices, some things like traveling and other recreational activities to devote time for campaigning.

say the proposition will open doors to unlimited property tax increases and would dismantle the 121-year-old constitutional protection that requires twothirds vote for local bonds that only property owners pay. Citrus College student, Joseph Gamboa, said he would vote against
the proposition because it is similar to Proposition 13, passed in the 1970s, where property taxes were increased. He said that to his understanding, the schools get money through property taxes and a lot of people own homes, so the schools generate a lot of money. “The proposition sounds
good because students and teachers need resources for classrooms, but at who’s expense?” Gamboa asked. Cal State Fullerton alumna and first-grade teacher, Veronica Castillo, said she is in favor of the proposition. “I think it will bring quicker funds to schools,” Castillo said.

A World of Disorders By Magda Liszewska
Daily Titan Staff Writer The unhealthy desire to be skinny is increasingly infiltrating cultures that have traditionally celebrated food and women’s natural body types. Cultural beliefs that may have protected ethnic groups against eating disorders erode as adolescents adapt to mainstream American culture. More minority women start to believe that American culture equates thinness with wealth, happiness and success and they starve themselves to keep up. Thinness is gaining more value within the AfricanAmerican culture, just as it has in the Caucasian culture. “Traditionally eating disorders as they relate to anorexia and bulimia have not been a big problem in the AfricanAmerican community,” said assistant Professor of AfroEthnic studies Julie E. Stokes. “Currently it’s becoming more of a problem, particularly with young girls.” Two reasons why eating disorders have recently increased in the black population might be: access to traditional white middle-class values and an increase in the influence of the media. Stokes said that young girls are trying to be more like the broader society. Eating disorders are connected with status. The higher the status, the more likely women are to be anorexic or bulimic in an attempt to try to be like the images created by the media, in order to be perceived as beautiful. “The higher the status, the more visible they are to the society, the more they want to be perceived as beautiful and that beautiful image today is thin,” Stokes said. The traditional standard of beauty in African-American culture has been about 20 pounds heavier than what is portrayed in the media. “African-American women didn’t see any problem with their weight and the reason is because of that heavier norm,” Stokes said. Nowadays, many young women are obsessed with weight loss and the notion of thinness. “One of the reasons why this would be striking for the African-American community is that traditionally, AfricanAmerican women are a little heavier physically than the mainstream,” Stokes said. “So what that means is that these young girls have to struggle even harder to get this thinness, because it’s not even community norm.” Older, mature women are satisfied with their appearances. Stokes said the media images targeted at ethnic women contribute to the problem. As models like Naomi Campbell or Tyra Banks are held up as examples, girls try to imitate them when they attempt to define their own beauty. Eating disorders invade African-American communities in the United States, but they are practically nonexistent in Africa. Stokes said that women in Africa do not have as much exposure to the perceived images of beauty, so the problem is not only smaller, it may not even exist. While young African-American women strive to lose weight, if they become too thin, the men in the community perceive them as unattractive, Stokes said.
Art major, Jason Solomon, said he does not consider skinny models to be attractive. “Some of them could use a sandwich here and there,” he said. Not all young women give in to the pressure. Business junior, Effirama Quayson, does not feel affected by the beauty standards. She said there are many AfricanAmericans who could be heavy and still be considered beautiful. “Because I’m African-American, the society standard does not affect me,” she said. “I could put on weight and still be beautiful.” Eating disorders for Latinas are not much different than other women of color. “We’re bombarded with the same types of pressures, media portrayal, and our own sense of self-esteem may not be very high,” Naomi H. Quinonez, Chicano studies professor, said. Quinonez said that self-esteem significantly contributes to the problem. “Low self-esteem is probably one of the major reasons for any kind of anxiety disorder and I really think eating disorders are one of them [anxiety disorders],” Quinonez said. Latinas’ self-esteem issues come from struggling with social conditions, poverty, low wage, unskilled work. “Latinas have one of the largest rates of poverty and unemployment in the United States,” Quinonez said. “We’re probably No. 1 in terms of being single women types of households.” Poverty also contributes to weight gain and possible eating disorders. Healthy foods are financially out of reach for many poor women. An average family may not be able to afford the $3-a-cup carrot juice. Therefore, people turn into highly processed, fattening fast food. The change of culture alters a person’s perception of what the ideal woman should look like. Latinas in the United States have to negotiate between their own cultural identity and the pressure for assimilation, which might cause them not to have as much of a strong identity as women living in Central and Southern America. “The pressure is to assimilate and the mainstream American culture really causes crises with one’s own identity,” Quinonez said. Women who are involved in more professional positions are very well aware of their body image. They may fall prey to eating disorders in order to take on that all-American image of a thin woman. Women get hung up trying to achieve the American image of a beautiful, slinky woman with no curves. “That’s very difficult to achieve, because we go against our own body types,” Quinonez said. Traditional standards of beauty in Latin culture emphasize curves. Quinonez said that poetry and short stories by Chicana authors often deal with ideas of false beauty, the way women are manipulated by it and the way they can overcome it. “Chicana writers are always writing about the idea of pretty much dismantling the notion of beauty that is pressed

American ideals change the how female immigrants view beauty and themselves upon us from the larger society,” she said. “I think that shows consciousness that there are many of us that understand that we’re falling victim to advertising schemes, to media hype that really make many of us feel that our beauty, our sense of who we are as Latinas is not good enough.” Health science major Daisy Ciudadreal does not condone women who diet excessively. “They value looks more than their own health,” she said. “It’s kind of sad.” Ciudadreal said society beauty standards are too narrow because they concentrate only on one image. American standards of beauty have also reached Asia, although eating disorders are not considered a major problem there. Juana Chen, who teaches the Asian-American Women course, said that weight is not a primary concern for Asian women. An Asian beauty standard includes characteristics like fair skin, big eyes, small mouth and narrow nose. Weight is not mentioned. Unlike Caucasian, African-American or Latina, Asians do not compare themselves to models. Because there are few Asian models, women do not identify with them and do not try to be like them. Chen said that she noticed that Asians change their eating habits when they come to the United States. “We didn’t change the way we cook, but we added variety to our diet,” she said. “At home people cook the same, but when they go out they have more choices.” The choices often include fast food, which has become very popular in Asia and in Asian communities in America. Health science major Chhavy Sy said she thinks thin models are beautiful, but she is perfectly satisfied with her body and does not feel pressure to be thinner. She said eating disorders are not a problem in Asian culture. “I don’t see a lot of people go on major diets,” she said. Studies show that women of different races are influenced by eating disorders after they move to America. Most immigrants feel pressure to conform to American beauty standards because they look different. They want to fit in, and in order to do that they feel the need to have that good, really skinny body. Ada Shultz, Cal State Fullerton nutritionist, said that eating disorders are a bigger problem in the United States than in other countries. “Seventy-five thousand one hundred years ago, the biggest problem in the United States was malnutrition, today it is obesity,” she said. “We have too much and we’re not managing it well.” Shultz said that in other countries, people try to find enough food to survive, while in the United States it is quite the opposite. “We’re all rushing out having our stomachs stapled,” she said. “We have so many things that people should copy, but our eating habits is something they shouldn’t. That part of the American dream is not pretty.” The American Psychiatric Association estimates that at least 500,000 people are struggling with disordered eating in the United States alone, and the numbers are increasing. Ninety percent of American women report they are unhappy with their weight and shape, while an estimated 50
percent of Americans are dieting at any given time. Schultz said she counsels students with eating disorders on a regular basis. She said the problem is much bigger on campus than anyone would like to admit, particularly in the dance and athletics departments, where standards of perceived perfection are much stricter. One-third of Schultz’s patients are minorities. In non-Westernized countries, eating disorders are not a problem. Plumpness is an attractive and desirable trait because people associate the extra weight with prosperity, fertility, success and economic security. In poorer countries, an obese body is considered healthy because fat deposits are good for surviving times when food is scarce and because people have to have a considerable amount of money in order to afford food. Thin people are considered malnourished and diseased. Research has shown that some cultures, such as the Muslim culture, where female social roles are restricted, do not deal with eating disorders either. Women do not care what their body looks like because the only people that see it are their husbands and immediate family. The shape of a woman’s body does not give her power like it does in Western cultures. They eat whatever their fathers or husbands provide for them and they have no choice in the matter since they do not have the money to buy special dietetic foods. In cultures affected by eating disorders, women seem to think that losing weight will make them more attractive to the opposite sex. However, some men think models are too skinny and unattractive. “I think they are too idolized,” said economics senior Eduardo Torres-McDonald. “The ideal the society has of beauty is not the average look people have.” International business major John Eric Sharp thinks many models are too skinny. “They look

Women’s soccer ends season with fourth straight nBIG WEST: CSUF will lose only three seniors from 2000 By Michael Sandoval
Daily Titan Staff Writer Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team ended the season with a hard defeat Friday night against UC Irvine. UCI came out to play, ready to continue the rivalry between the two universities. They scored two goals in the first half to take a quick lead. Janelle Doyle scored first for UCI three minutes into the first half. UCI attacked six minutes later, breaking down the CSUF defense. Ariana Downs added the second goal of the game. CSUF finally found the back of the net in the game, scoring its only goal. Nadia Hernandez, scored off of a header with the assist coming from teammate Tennli Ulicny 15 minutes into the game. UCI would not let up, ending the Titans season with consecutive goals with only 21 minutes into the game. In the second half UCI played defensive ball to keep its 4-1 lead. CSUF finished with a final record of 8–12 overall. In the Big West Conference for the 2000 season, its record was three wins and five losses. UCI ended with a record of 10 wins, seven losses and two ties. They finished 5-3 in the Big West. The season ended with the future looking bright for the Titans, who will only lose three seniors. Marla Nelson, the departing goalkeeper for CSUF mentioned the future
of the team. "I think the younger players have the heart and desire," she said. "They have desire to get better each day." Most of the players that are returning for the 2001 soccer season are freshmen and sophomores, so the veteran crop should be much improved from next season. Tennli Ulicny led the Titans offensively this season with six goals, four assists and 16 points. Freshman Danielle Turnquist made a big contribution with five goals, four assists and 14 points. The third leader this season was senior Monica Reade, who ended her final season with three goals, two assist and eight points. Marla Nelson ended her stint at goal for CSUF with 725 minutes played and a record of four wins and four losses allowing only 14 goals and saving 93 shots. She also added a couple of shutouts this season. Freshman goalkeeper Laura Janke contributed some amazing minutes for her first full collegiate season. She played 1100 minutes with a record of four wins and eight losses. Janke allowed 23 goals and saved 186. She recorded two shutout victories and 54 saves. "We have a very good crop of people returning and with the passing of the Instructionally Related Activities Referendum last week, it would allow us to recruit more in lines with the type of team this university should field," said Head Coach Al Mistri. He also mentioned the needs of the team, such as being able to answer the scoring opportunities that are allowed. This was a cause for many of the losses suffered in 2000.

Home is sweet for men nMPSF: The Titans, 9-0 at Titan Stadium, earn home-field advantage with Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Cal SLO By Caesar Contreras
Daily Titan Sports Editor It wasn’t pretty and it wasn’t nice, but the Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team’s 2-1 overtime victory over the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Mustangs on Saturday night at Titan Stadium will go down as one for the books in CSUF soccer history. The victory by the Titans [14-4-1] has now given CSUF the homefield advantage in the upcoming Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Playoffs beginning this upcoming Friday and has officially declared the Titans as 2000 MPSF Pacific Division champions. “We won league, I’m pumped,” said Titan midfielder David Dischner,
who scored the game-tying goal and created the game-winning goal after being tripped inside the box against the Mustangs. Titan midfielder Walter Carmago scored the game winning goal at 93:04 on a penalty kick. Usually, Titan forward and leading scorer Duncan Oughton takes the penalty kicks, but his one-game suspension due to yellow cards gave Carmago the chance to shine. “I wasn’t that nervous,” Carmago said. “We’ve been practicing penalty kicks all week, so I felt pretty confident.” But while a celebration ensued after the CSUF victory, Titan Head Coach Al Mistri was clearly displeased with his team’s effort after the game: “We just stunk up the field,” Mistri said. “It was the worse game we’ve played in some time. We had no spirit or inspiration. “We had a good deal of luck in winning that game. Dischner took a bright shot and he did what players had to do and caused that foul to give us the penalty kick.” The coach’s reasons are well founded as in the first half, CSUF
lacked aggression and seemed passive throughout the half. And in the 34th minute, the Mustangs made them pay as forward Cory Pasek took an Evan Clark cross and beat Titan goalkeeper Josh Saunders for the score and only goal of the first half. “We knew we were playing bad, we just had to pick up our game in the second half,” Dischner said. But the halftime words seemed to not even faze the Titans as they came out in the second half just as passive and uninspired as the first. Fortunately, the Mustangs couldn’t play much better and in the 69th minute they were punished as Titan midfielder Ricky Melendez made a pass to Dischner at the 18-yard line and his blast beat Mustang goalkeeper Greg Bievins to the right side and tied the game at 1-1. “It was a perfect setup by the team,” Dischner said. “The keeper was just on the other side and I just kicked it in.” No other major scoring threats were made in the second half as the teams went into overtime. It would be familiar territory for the Titans as they had already been in eight over-
times this season. From the onset of the overtime, CSUF attacked as Dischner found himself dribbling towards the goal., As he drove further, a Mustang player tripped him and to the Mustang’s doom, a penalty kick was awarded. It was lights out after that, as Carmago nailed the kick and the Titans remained a perfect 9-0 at Titan Stadium this season. It’s a record that they hope will continue as they host the 2000 MPSF Playoffs beginning on Friday at Titan Stadium. In the first game, Pacific Division runner-up UC Irvine will face MPSF Mountain Division champion San Jose State. In the next game, the Titans will battle the Mountain Division runner-up Denver University. The winner of these games will then play Sunday at 1:00 p.m. for the MPSF championship and an automatic berth into the 2000 NCAA Playoffs. “We got lots to prove this weekend, that’s for sure,” Carmago said. Friday’s first game will start at 11:00 a.m. and the CSUF game starts at 2:00 p.m.

Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball had several days last week to get ready for upcoming matches, and the extra practice time paid off in two victories and a remarkable individual accomplishment. The Titans, playing for the first time in a week, whipped visiting UC Irvine on Saturday night, 10-15, 159,15-5, 15-5 in Big West Conference action, then swept Ivy League member Columbia, 15-10, 15-9, 15-10 in a rareMonday evening match at Titan Gym. In the second match, Megan Sabo became just the third player in C SUF history to reach 1,000 career kills – and she’s only a junior. Saturday, however, setter Kim Levey was the star. Levey totaled a triple-double with 35 assists, 15 digs and a career-high 15 kills in the victory over the rival Anteaters (8-15, 1-11 Big West). With the win, the Titans (9-15, 3-9 Big West) swept the season series with UCI for the first time in four years.
Jamie Ivers added 24 kills for CSUF, which snapped a three-match losing streak, while Krista Bebernes had one of her finest performances as a Titan, finishing with 21 assists and 13 digs. CSUF was clearly the more aggressive team against UC Irvine, finishing with 68 kills to the Anteaters’ 54. The Titan team defense was also strong, limiting Irvine to a paltry .168 attack percentage while CSUF managed a more respectable .233. Fullerton also easily outworked the Anteaters, tallying 95 digs compared to 65 for the visitors. The Titans regrouped after dropping the first game, racing to a 9-1 lead in the second before winning it 15-9 and sailing through the third and fourth game. Chanda McLeod had 18 kills and nine digs to lead UC Irvine, while freshman Brenda Waterman added five kills and 17 digs. Anteater setter Teri Zartman had a match-high 49 assists, owing mostly to CSUF Head Coach Mary Ellen Murchison’s preference of using both Levey and Bebernes at setter. The Titans kept it going Monday as Columbia (16-12), which lost to
UCI Saturday night, rolled into Titan Gym. Senior outside hitter Jamie Ivers led Fullerton with 20 kills, while Sabo finished with 16 kills and 10 digs. The Mater Dei High graduate now trails only Susan Herman (1,534 kills from 1986-89) and Becky Howlett (1,218 in 1990-91) on CSUF’s alltime kill list. Again, the Titans were the far more imposing team at the net on their home floor, hammering 53 kills while holding the Lions to just 39 and a .135 attack percentage. Murchison used the match as an opportunity to give some of her younger players some experience, and 12 Titans contributed to the team total of 60 digs. CSUF started slowly, falling behind 5-0 in the first game before coming alive to earn its first threegame sweep since a Sept. 26 match against UC Riverside. Sabo, fittingly, closed the match with her 16th kill. Columbia was led by Kathy Lavold’s 16 kills and Cassie Bryan’s 19 digs. CSUF returns to Big West action Friday, visiting Cal Poly.

The fallacies of eating disor-
Misconceptions of eating disorders fall into the pressure caused from families and friends
By Magda Liszewska
A lot has been said and written about eating disorders but there are two misconceptions on the subject, role of the family and issue of control. Most of the time, media are blamed for creating unrealistic beauty standards. Glossy women’s magazines are filled with pictures of skinny models and 101 ways to try to look like them, and no, the fact that those photos are digitally touched-up is not mentioned. Meanwhile, on TV and in movies, it seems like the more successful actresses are, the more weight they lose. As a result, in a determined pursuit of the perfect body, girls and women diet obsessively and the risks of ending up with an eating disorder. It is very easy to put all the respon-

Editorials are the opinion of the editorial board, comprised of the Executive Editor, News Editors and section editors. Columns are the personal opinion of the writer. They do not reflect those of the university, the faculty, or the
sibility for the problem on the media since beauty standards and trends are not changing fast enough, but a significant part of the problem lies within the family. As much as women want to look like supermodels, the glamorous world of TV and glossy magazines is less influential than family home and friends. For some unexplained reason, people have a tactless tendency to publicly point out others’ weight gain. Most people are self-conscious when it comes to their looks, particularly their weight and it is hard to believe that a person does not feel and see when he or she gains weight, which makes pointing it out redundant. Comments like "Your face is more rounded since the last time I saw you" or "You’re getting chubby" undermine the person’s self-esteem. Addressed mainly to young girls and women, they are not only rude and tactless, but frequently repeated, they are potentially dangerous for their health.
Although a girl may want to tell the author of the comment how much he or she has changed for the worse, she usually ends up making a quiet promise to herself to lose weight and avoid the same conversation in the future. Often, it is the parents who push their children to diet and lose weight and because of constant talking about it, girls start to compare themselves to models and actresses and begin to believe that they are overweight. An estimated 1,000 women die each year from complications associated with eating disorders including low potassium, suicide, heart attack, and starvation, according to the National Eating Disorder Screening Program. It is the highest death rate among all psychiatric disorders. The illnesses are likely to strike women who are perfectionists, girls or women who suffer from depression or low self-esteem and victims of sexual abuse. Most come from families that place more emphasis on educational,
social or sports achievements than on personal independence, maturity and interpersonal relationships. A popular misconception is that because so many things in these women’s lives are beyond their influence, food is the one thing they can control. However, it is actually quite the opposite. The reason why they binge, purge and starve themselves is that they cannot control their eating habits. Otherwise, they would be able to maintain a balanced diet. The dangerous thing about eating disorders is that they Many originate in the mind and the distorted self-perception is very difficult to change. Few professionals specialize in this problem because the success rate is low and the process is long and frustrating. Simply telling someone who is

Some college courses may be a waste for stuClasses that are not aimed towards your major will most likely be forgotten and useless to you during your lifetime
By Kelly Mead
A couple of semesters ago I took communications law. It was everything I had expected it to be. A couple hours of lecture a week, a few hours of reading, four grueling tests that required hours of memorization. I made up riddles to remember the seemingly endless lists of court cases that all sounded the same. I crammed a couple hours before each test, came to class, spit it out on a green and white scantron, forgot everything I had learned within a couple of days, then started the cycle again. Now I only remember some vague rules to abide by when I’m writing for the paper: never make up quotes, always say allegedly if it hasn’t been
proven, etc … So was this class a waste of time? I enjoyed the teacher’s lectures, I got a good grade, but, aside from three credits towards graduation, what did it do for me? In my opinion many of the classes I’ve taken in college have been a waste of time. A good number of the classes are run in a way that encourages students to remember facts long enough to take the test, then discard the facts by the end of the semester. There are classes that encourage students to think creatively about the subjects they are learning. For example, my first semester here I took an introduction to woman’s studies class. The class was discussion, reading, and a personal project. The format for this class got me thinking about the subject and as a result I remember a lot more of the ideas discussed in that class.
Of course, law is a completely different subject than woman’s studies. I wouldn’t expect a law teacher to spend their class time letting students discuss their opinions about court cases. There is simply too much information, to many students, and the subjects are too complicated. I’m not suggesting that all classes be run like my woman’s studies classes. I just feel classes should be geared more toward the individual student. For example, I feel I would have learned a lot more practical information if, in the law class, I was required to write short papers on cases that applied to my emphasis: Journalism. Of course this would require a lot more work from the teacher. My solution to this is to get more teachers aids. There are many education students who could get credit for helping professors out. I also feel that it would be better
to gear tests toward the individual student’s emphasis. The teacher could have a more in depth test with fewer questions. This way students would learn the cases they study well and wouldn’t go blank from overload. Another option would be for students to do a project for the class. For example, a student in a communications law class, who has an advertising emphasis, could do a report on a specific companies lawsuits and how they dealt with them. I have applied my ideas to a law class, but I feel there are many classes in the university that could take on similar ideas. This, of course, excludes math and science classes where it is nearly impossible to find an alternative to drilling the students with memorization. Many students may feel this would require too much work. Maybe it would or maybe the
teacher could work to make it a similar workload. Regardless, many jobs could care less what your grades in college were. A lot of employers care more about how much you know and how well you can perform the tasks required. If you are on a career path, like mine, where employers care more about performance than grades, personally I think it is better to learn as much as you can, regardless of the grade. In reality these ideas might not work in practice, but I feel professors should be open to experimenting with the curriculum. If students aren’t retaining the information they learn than something needs to be changed or the classes should be dropped as a requirement. If a year from now you can barely remember you took the class at all, then what’s the point? —Kelly Mead is a Daily Titan Staff Writer
