Ohio State organizations work to educate campus about the prevalence of eating disorders
OSU tops list for Fulbright scholars and students 14 faculty, 6 students awarded grants LEE MCCLORY Design editor mcclory.10@osu.edu Fulbright scholar Erin McAuliffe said she didn’t have the complete experience she wanted while studying abroad as an undergraduate. While she enjoyed her study abroad program in Thailand, she didn’t feel as though she had the full experience she wanted. “I wanted to apply for a Fulbright grant to Thailand because I knew it would allow me to live in a more rural community and really get to sort of become an active community member,” McAuliffe, a 2014 OSU graduate in political science and German who is currently in Thailand on a Fulbright grant, said in an email. “Even as I studied abroad in Thailand at a university on the outskirts of Chiang Mai, I still felt that outside vibe at some points, despite the student uniform and my basic command of the Thai language.” McAuliffe traveled abroad to Thailand again this year on a Fulbright grant to teach English and music in a secondary school in rural Northern Thailand, close to the Mekong River. She said this time, she has felt a deeper connection to the cultural traditions and aspects of daily life that surround her. “I’ve been learning a traditional northern Thai stringed instrument and have had the opportunity to play with the music group at temple ceremonies a few times,” McAuliffe said. “Restaurant cooks and market vendors know who I am and usually what I want to eat. They even usually ask me what I am doing during the week or how I am, in Thai of course.” The Fulbright program offers chances for students, scholars, teachers and others from the United States like McAuliffe to study in other countries and complete projects, teach, conduct

With eating disorders among college students on the rise, OSU has plans to raise awareness during National Eating Disorder Awareness Week.
ALAINA BARTEL Lantern reporter bartel.21@osu.edu “This is something that is going to cut across years in terms of the college student population, it’s going to cut across gender, and it’s going to cut across race and ethnicity. This is something everybody is susceptible to.” Michelle Holmberg, the director of programs
from Screening for Mental Health, said anyone can be at risk for an eating disorder. “In fact, some of the other data tells us that 91 percent of women surveyed on a college campus had attempted to control their weight through dieting,” Holmberg said. “And then 25 percent of college-aged women engaged in binging and purging as a weight-management technique.” National Eating Disorder Awareness Week is this week, and Ohio State has its own plans to raise awareness. The rate of eating disorders
among college students has risen to 10-20 percent of women, and four to 10 percent of men, according to a 2013 survey by the National Eating Disorders Association that took data collected from 165 colleges and universities in the U.S. OSU’s Body Image and Health Task Force is a group of faculty, staff and students that holds an annual Body Image Bazaar to raise awareness for the issue. This year, the event

Festival to project light on old films again

She added that during restorations, “the work you come out with is never exactly like the original because it just can’t be, but you do the best you can.” The process of film restoration can be difficult and time consuming. First, the negative, or a print, in decent condition must be found. Next, the film is scanned, frame by frame, into digital files. An average old movie will feature about 24 frames per second. Consequently, a one-hour film will involve scanning about

Over time, it can go through all kinds of changes.” Pitt shed some light on the difficulties involved in restoring one such degraded film. She is currently in the process of restoring a 24-minute film and has been working on it for about three weeks. “We have to go back to the original negative and go shot by shot … in a lot of ways it’s like repainting the film,” she said.
OSU aims to increase patrols off campus
As part of a university initiative to increase security near off-campus student housing, Student Safety Service has extended its highvisibility patrols east of North High Street for another semester. Operation Safeguard, which began as a pilot program for the Department of Public Safety in September, allows student officers from Student Safety Service to conduct highvisibility nightly patrols in neighborhoods east of High Street every day with extended hours on Friday and Saturday. “We are trying to make the area saturated with security presence so that anybody who would seek to do a crime would think otherwise,” said Student Safety Service program coordinator Sean Bolender. “It’s more about deterrence than anything.” Dan Hedman, spokesman for the Office of Administration and Planning, said so far, the program has yielded some promising results. “Over the past few months, we have seen a slight decrease in incidents of crime in the immediate off campus area when compared to the same time last year,” Hedman said in an email. “However, as this is a pilot program, it is important to note we cannot say for certain what has impacted this decrease.” Neal Wilson, Student Safety Service senior manager and a recent Ohio State graduate, said the program continues to change as officers work through the pilot phase. “It is still a very dynamic program in the sense that we haven’t hammered out all the details yet or all of our policies on it,” he said. “We don’t have anything concrete written into our standard operating procedure at this time.” Wilson said the changing nature of
Wexner Center for the Arts to revive restored films
Many things can ruin film: Floods, fires and dirt are just a few examples. Time takes its toll, too. Reversing that process is much more difficult, and only hard work and dedication can restore a damaged film. The Wexner Center for the Arts will celebrate the work of film restorationists with “Cinema Revival: A Festival of Film Restoration.” The festival will take place from Wednesday to Sunday and will feature 12 restored features from directors such as Alfred Hitchcock, Luchino Visconti and Howard Hawks. “Most of these films, people wouldn’t have any way to see in the condition they’re in, but also they would never get the chance to see them in theaters,” said Adam Skov, a fourthyear in international business and first-year graduate student in Chinese, currently serving his third year as the president of the Film and Video Society. “I think it’d be hard to find a Midwestern college film center as cool as the Wexner Center or that offers as much content as the Wex,” Skov said. “I think we’ve really got something special in Columbus.” The festival will feature several of film animator Suzan Pitt’s recently restored films. Pitt’s most famous work is “Asparagus” (1978). “One of the great things that the Wex is
