The Security Council is concerned about the proliferation of weapons in Libya, and said it would address the issue in the future. They also expressed “grave concern” about reports of reprisals and extrajudicial executions.

SMU held a Service of Memory Thursday afternoon to honor those in the SMU community who have passed away during the past year. Several professors, trustees, staff members and three students were honored at the ceremony in Perkins Chapel. Mark Stamm, the associate professor of Christian worship at the Perkins School of Theology, presided over the ceremony. A litany of remembrance was read in the Christian tradition and a Kaddish, a Jewish prayer for the dead, was recited in Hebrew and in English. During the service, Stamm and Judy Henneberger, the associate chaplain, read the names of the deceased and friends and family stood to show support for their loved ones. “My friend D’Anna Chance was one of the people who passed away,” Brandon Lazarus, a student at the Perkins School of Theology, said. “I came in part to honor her and in part to recognize and honor the passing of those others in our community.” This is the 13th year SMU has held a Service of Memory for the deceased.

The SMU team feature provides a full roster, photographs of the team and team and player statistics. Finally, the settings feature allows users to subscribe and purchase extra features. The settings feature also allows users to opt in to receiving push notifications from the application. To access live audio broadcasting from the application, the user has to opt in for a monthly fee of $0.99 for iPhones and $4.99 per year for Android devices. According to the reviews of this new application, which can be found in the App Store on iTunes, there are differing opinions on how people feel about this new application. Cache$$$mustang said, “Crashes every time the game tracker updates and doesn’t offer audio/video, waste of programming.” On the contrary, Keloggs thinks, “This is a great app! I recommend it to all my fellow Mustangs fans. Pony up!”

Professionals promote positive body image, health By MEGHAN SIKKEL Copy Editor msikkel@smu.edu

As part of SMU Love Your Body Week, health care professionals spoke about eating disorder awareness, positive body image and proper nutrition at the Love Your Body Symposium in the Hughes-Trigg Forum Wednesday night. Sponsored by SMU’s Department of Applied Physiology and Wellness, the Memorial Health Center, SMU Dining Services, SMU Fitness, the Women’s Center and Tri Delta, the event featured presentations by Whitney Caston, a dietician from Walker Wellness Clinic, former Mr. Israel and nutritionist Sagi Kalev, wellness professor Kristen McAlexander and her sister Cheryl Picard. The speakers emphasized the importance of healthy eating and taking care of one’s body to the largely female audience. Caston, who works specifically with patients struggling with eating disorders, spoke primarily about body image and its complex definition. “Body image does not refer

to what you actually look like,” Caston said, citing a body image workbook she uses with her patients. “It refers to your personal relationship with your body, especially your beliefs, perceptions, thoughts, feelings and actions that pertain to your physical appearance.” She explained to the audience how to go about attaining a positive body image in today’s “quick fix culture,” which advocates diet, exercise, cosmetics and surgery as means of building one’s self-esteem. “The bottom line is I would encourage you guys to strive for an attitude adjustment versus an appearance adjustment,” Caston said. “What you look like is certainly one aspect of who you are, but so is your body image. Having difficulty accepting your looks makes it harder to accept yourself as a person.” McAlexander and Picard learned that lesson the hard way. They both suffered from eating disorders as young adults. Despite having “ideal” childhoods, the sisters attribute their struggles with self-image to an incident that took place when

they were children — both were molested by a family member. “I do believe that led to the association with food and bad feelings,” Picard, who suffered from bulimia nervosa, said. “Often things happen, particularly in childhood, that influence the way you see your body or the way you deal with emotions, and for our case, that was it,” McAlexander said. McAlexander suffered from exercise bulimia, a type of eating disorder that is associated with compulsive exercising that goes beyond a healthy amount. “I always had a distorted way of looking at myself,” she said. “No matter how I looked, no matter how many compliments I got, I was still miserable.” It was three years after her last menstrual cycle, which stopped as the result of her unhealthy obsession with exercise, that McAlexander knew she needed to do something. The first place she went to seek recovery was her university’s counseling services, a resource she says SMU students should take advantage of if they are ever in a similar situation.

Picard was ready for a change when she started experiencing dental problems due to her bulimia. She began her recovery at a treatment facility for women who struggle with eating disorders. “I wanted the intrusive thoughts to go away,” she said. “I was just exhausted at that point.” Kalev said he also caused damage to his body with overdieting and overtraining. “I always did what I did for someone else,” he said. “I was trying to pursue an image and a persona that would make other people happy.” It wasn’t until recently that Kaley realized what’s truly important when it comes to body image. “You only have one body, and you only have one life,” he said. “This is your temple, and if you don’t take care of it, nothing else matters.” Kalev said figuring out what foods work best for you is the key to achieving a happy and healthy lifestyle. “Every food will tell you something. If you start being

aware of how food is talking to you, everything will change in your life,” he said. “If you eat a steak and want to fall asleep after, that means steak is not really working for you.” Above all, he emphasized the importance of food to be alert and functional. “I’ve never seen a Ferrari driving on empty gas,” he said. “If I don’t put in the right fuel, it’s not going to get that far.” Caston agreed with Kalev. She said she has worked with patients who were unable to think clearly because they were so malnourished, thus further perpetuating their irrational perceptions of their bodies. “Taking care of your body by honoring its energy needs leads to enhanced body image, self-esteem and overall self-acceptance,” she said. Simply stated, “Stop fixing your body,” she said. “It was never broken to begin with.” If you or someone you know may be suffering from an eating disorder, contact SMU Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS) for information on how to seek help.

A prominent Dallas surgeon delivered a motivating presentation to an intimate crowd of young women on Wednesday night in correlation with Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Dr. Terre McGlothin, a board certified general surgeon who specializes in breast oncology, spoke to female students in the Mack Ballroom about breast cancer prevention and detection with a focus on obesity and women of African American descent. The Nu Iota chapter of Delta Sigma Theta sorority invited Dr. McGlothin, a member of the sorority herself, to lead a discussion with students as part of a series of events put on by the black community at SMU hoping to bring awareness of

breast cancer to campus. “I want to make sure everyone knows the reality of breast cancer and how it can affect our everyday lives in ways that are preventable,” Courtney Kelly, the vice president of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority, said. While there are 230,480 cases of invasive breast cancer diagnosed each year and 39,520 expected deaths, Dr. McGlothin stressed the importance of early detection and modifiable risk factors. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and the incidence generally increases with age. “You cannot change the fact you are female, you can’t change your age or your family genetics, but there are things you can change,” Dr. McGlothin said. Dr. McGlothin recommends staying in shape, not smoking or

drinking heavily and practicing self-breast examinations once a month. The substantial racial gap in breast cancer between African American women and Caucasian women can be attributed to a later stage of detection and poorer stage specific survival.

“By in large, African Americans seem to be diagnosed at a much later stage,” Dr. McGlothin said. Barriers for African American women include the fear of the medical system, a bias towards doctors, lack of insurance, neglect to follow through with recommendations and treatments and the shear biology of aggressive tumors. Obese breast cancer patients have roughly a 30 percent higher risk of mortality than women who maintain a body mass index below 25 percent. “Obesity is a problem in America,” Dr. McGlothin said. “It’s not about looking good, this is a health issue.” Sixty percent of the adult population is overweight and 85 percent of African American and Hispanic women are overweight.

Dr. McGlothin conveyed the importance of physical activity in your every day routine. After the lecture, audience member Tarryn Shelman said she benefited from Dr. McGlothin’s words. “I am more informed about breast cancer in African American women and I am going to start to exercise more,” she said. Dr. McGlothin attended Drake University in Iowa during her undergraduate years. After, she went to medical school in Nashville and completed her general surgery training at the University of Louisville. She found her way to Dallas through a fellowship at Baylor University, which at the time was the single breast-only fellowship in the United States.
