Understanding eating disorders By Gayleen Langthorn Staff Writer
As the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue makes its way to the newsstands, many women will go on diets with hopes of attaining a bikini-bearable figure. What many people don't realize is that a diet could lead to an eating disorder. "It starts out usually as a diet, but crosses a line where you don:,t quit dieting," said Jan Chapel of counseling services. disorders fall Lh._ into three basic categories: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and compulsive eating. With anorexia nervosa, people intentionally starve themselves and may think they are overweight, even when they are bone-thin: The reduction in body fat can result in the absence of the menstrual cycle in women and impotency in men. Bulimia nervosa sufferers consume large amounts of food and then purge themselves before the calories can be
absorbed. Purging is accomplished in several ways: vomiting, laxatives, _enemas or excessive exercise. A compulsive eating disorder' is characterized by episodes of uncontrolled eating. "Compulsive eating usually starts out in childhood" when food is often used as a stress reducer, said Chapel. Theories abound as to what causes eating disorders, but they fall into three broad categories: the biomedical, the psychological and the cultural. Those who support the biomedical theory propose that the disorders are solely MON organic in nature, said Joan Jacobs Brumberg, in her book Fasting Girls: The History of Anorexia Nervosa. One of the main problems with the biomedical theory is the high number of anorexics in the West and Japan and the absence of the disorder in other countries of the world, Brumberg said. Among those who agree with the psychological theory is D. Randy Sansone who spoke at UCO Tuesday about the V See EATING, Page 3

UCO's lack of sexual harassment procedure 'victimizes' professor By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer
"Sexual harassment is against the law and requires immediate attention and APPROPRIATE DISCIPLINARY ACTION," states UCO's sexual harassment policy. This strong medicine is meant
to remedy the malady of sexual harassment. But some at UCO think the prescription is more of a curse than a cure. The existing sexual harassment policy is so ineffective and incomplete that "we don't have a sexual harassment policy," said Dr. Christopher Givan, professor of creative studies and chairman of
the Welfare and Development Committee for the Faculty Senate. Procedures for resolving complaints at UCO are given in the student handbook on Pages 208-210 and in a pamphlet available in the personnel office. A sexual harassment complaint against Givan was YSee HARASSMENT, Page 9

Diary of an Anorexic
-Th
January 26, 1991 made up my mind today to be an anorexic. I don't what it was that brought me to this decision, but I think all that teasing and ribbing and often unkind sneering about my baby fat triggered that resolution. I studied in my biology class today that peristalsis is the passage that food undertakes after it enters the mouth. What a cool word! I think I'll christen my act of purging reverse persitalsis. Putting a scientific, objective name to it makes the act all that easier to swallow (pardon the pun).
/
April 14, 1993 I gobbled down two sirloin steaks with creamed potatoes and coleslaw on the side and helped myself to an entire pint of Ben and Jerry's Rocky Road ice cream today. I read in that same biology class that food takes about four to five hours to digest completely. I have to be sure to time my reverse peristalsis to be within that time range. God forbid that the food should be converted into fats! My family and close friends are getting suspicious. I can see the doubt in their eyes when I tell them I'm okay after I disappear from the dinner table once too often after a hearty meal. I have to be more careful not eat too much when they're around so they won't ask all these questions about where all those huge gobs of food that I ingest go to and if I'm ., depressed. I can't afford to blow my cover, not yet, not until I'm as skinny as I' want to be. I'd rather die thin than live fat. I hate my brothers. They eat enough to feed an army and yet not gain an ounce. Men and their metabolism. I hate their jibes about my weight and their nickname for me—"Miss Piggy." I hate my friends whom I think have hookworms in their bodies. I hate my cellulite, my thunder thighs, my double chin, my puffed-up arms. August 7, 1995 I cried as I stand poised before the toilet bowl today. I hate the way I look, the way I feel, the way I live. I have to stop doing this to myself, I have to stop killing myself like this. I have to do it now. It's time to stop. OD

disorders point to the popularity of being thin as a social ideal. "Society rewards people for behaviors that lead to an eating disorder," Chapel said.

Her first name isn't found anywhere on the album or press release. The 45-minute album provides near perfect background music for sitting alone with your thoughts and smoking the last few cigarettes of the evening. The mix of wistful lyrics and an unusual combination of 'instruments, including goat toenails, penetrate the air and leave a hint of the blues behind. McKinley's debut is a wonderful album from the West Coast area, but don't expect another Green Day or Pearl Jam. References to Wuthering Heights and The Wizard of Oz come through as clear as

McKinley's voice, although sometimes the meanings of the songs are muddled. She isn't likely to have a bandwagon trailing behind her for people to jump on. McKinley is more likely to build an audience similar to The Cowboy Junkies. Her music just isn't the type that usually gains a widespread popularity. Whether or not you like the album will depend largely on how much you like bluesy jazz.

Bronchos use X-Factor to rally past rival Cameron By Jeff Packham
Sports Writer
The UCO men's basketball rallied in the second half behind the spirited play of freshman point guard David Factor to defeat Cameron, 100-88, Tuesday night at Hamilton Field House. Factor, who finished with a season-high 25 points, exploded for 19 points in the second half as the Bronchos came back from a 43-31 half-time deficit. UCO also received a sixassist and one-turnover performance from Factor, who hit nine of 16 shots in the game, including four of seven threepoint shots. Tyrone Hopkins and Scott Sanders also contributed heavily in the rally, with Hopkins scoring 13 of his 22 points in the second half and Sanders adding 14 of his 19 after halftime. The Bronchos fell behind early in the game and gradually lost ground throughout the first half. The Aggies eventually built the lead to 18 (43-25) when Burnell King made two free throws that were the result of a technical foul on Bronchos' head
coach Jim Seward. The Bronchos began their rally at that point, scoring the last six points before half-time. Cameron was scoreless for the last 3:56 of the half. "After we started playing and hustling and scurrying, we obviously started making some shots," Seward said. "I told them it was a defensive game and that even though we weren't playing well offensively, we had to do some things defensively. We got a good start in the second half." The second half was a continuation of the last four minutes of the first half, with LonDaryl Perry nailing a threepointer from the corner to bring the Bronchos within nine points. The Aggies were able to increase their lead to 14 points, taking- a 48-34 margin with 18:33 left in the game. UCO responded with a 12-9 run to close the gap to 57-46 when Factor took over. He hit a jumper off the dribble to cut the gap to nine, then followed with a three-pointer to help pull the Bronchos to a 5751 deficit. A jumper by Sanders brought UCO to within four, but the

Aggies scored the next five points to temporarily halt the rally. Factor, however scored the next five points, hitting two free throws and a three-point shot, to bring the Bronchos to within four at the 11:58 mark. The teams traded baskets for the next couple of minutes, with the Bronchos even taking a onepoint lead momentarily. A three-pointer by Al Segova gave UCO the lead for good at 67-65 and Cameron played catch-up the rest of the way. "I thought it was a great comeback," Seward said. "Cameron was really playing well. For us to come back in the second half, I think Cameron got worn down. I think they really got tired and frustrated. I can't say enough for our guy's effort, in terms of showing some character and coming back to win the basketball game." The Bronchos eventually were able to build the lead to 14 points late in the game and a free throw by DeWayne Rogers enabled UCO to reach 100 points for the eleventh time this season.

Lady Bronchos come up short, lose sixth consecutive contest By Richard Tortorelli Sports Writer The Lady Bronchos had a chance to snap a five-game losing streak in the final minute of a 59-57 loss to Cameron Tuesday at Hamilton Field House, as UCO had several scoring runs and droughts. Christy Bailey missed a layup with just eight seconds left in the game which would have given UCO the lead. Cameron's April Ellickson sealed the win with a made free throw at 6.6 seconds left to give the Lady Aggies the win in a contest between intrastate rivals. The Lady Bronchos, who dropped to 8-13, had beaten Cameron 74-68 in Lawton earlier this season, but that fact didn't matter in this rivalry, said UCO women's basketball coach John Keely. "Throw away records. When it's Cameron, it's OU-OSU," said Keely. "I don't care what records are, they come ready to play. We come ready to play, and it is a dogfight. You don't worry about records, you don't worry about stats, it's Cameron-UCO." The Lady Bronchos took an early lead but trailed the final five minutes of the first half and the rest of the game.
UCO attempted to rally late in the game, though. With the score 54-41, the hosts went on a 10-2 run to make the score 56-53. UCO guard Mary Rhodes, who was the game's leading scorer with 17 points, hit two free throws to bring UCO within one at 58-57, but Bailey's shot attempt missed the mark. "I'm really proud of them, we just didn't shoot the ball (well)," said Keely, whose ballclub shot 38 percent in the game. "We missed a lot of easy shots and the clock ran out at the wrong time. We needed another 20 seconds or so." UCO went on a 9-0 run from 13:55 to the 12:13 mark in the first half to take a 19-7 lead. Cameron would battle back to seize the lead before halftime. The Lady Bronchos went scoreless for 4:23, and Cameron tied the score at 21-21 on Christy Crawford's layup. UCO center Christy Heavin answered with a short jumper for UCO's final lead of the game. Cameron forward Lynn Patterson then scored eight straight points to give Cameron a 29-23 halftime lead. Meanwhile, the _ Lady Bronchos went the final 5:23 of the first half and the first 3:03 of the second as the Lady Aggies

harassed UCO's ballhandlers with full-court pressure. Junior forward Angela Flynn had three blocked shots in the game to up her season total to 34, three away from UCO's single-season record. Flynn, who had 10 points and seven rebounds in the contest,entered the game second in the Lone Star Conference in that category. Rhodes, who leads the LSC in three-point field goals, hit 2-of-5 in the game to give her a total of 53 for the season. Patterson led the Lady Aggies in scoring with 15 points. Jennifer Beale came off the bench to score 12 points, and Teresa Clayborn added eight points and 11 rebounds. The UCO women have now lost six straight, but the Lady Bronchos played better, said sophomore Mandy Carlson. "I know we didn't win, but we played a lot better tonight, because we hustled and we played more like a team than we have in a long time," said Carlson, who had 15 points and 10 rebounds. "If we just keep playing hard like we did tonight, then we'll win." The Lady Bronchos will attempt to do that against Midwestern State in Wichita Falls, Texas Saturday.

Miss Black UCO: Who will wear the crown Feb. 10? By Judy Simpson Staff Writer
One woman will win the title of Miss Black UCO at the annual pageant 7 p.m. Feb. 10 in the University Center Grand Ballroom. Before 1969, African American women were not given an opportunity to participate in beauty pageants, ' according to Lendell Walls, the pageant director. Therefore, the Miss Black UCO pageant was started in the mid' seventies as a means to offer young African American women scholarship assistance and has been held annually since, said Walls. The winner will receive $1,360 in cash scholarships and the Sonja Carter Award, which is a tennis bracelet. The award was started by Sonja Carter, a former Miss Black UCO. The winner will also receive a $500 wardrobe, funded by proceeds from the pageant to help her with public appearances. The first and second runners-up will each receive $680 in cash scholarships. The pageant is judged and organized by African Americans but is open to all women who would like to participate. The winner can compete in the Miss Black Oklahoma Pageant in June with the possibility of continuing on to the Miss Black America Pageant. Admission is $5 to the public and free to UCO faculty, staff and students with a valid UCO ID.

newspapers. "Everywhere I went I ended up writing for somebody or something," he said. He received awards for his newspapers, which were voted best of the Pacific Air Force bases. "That angered people who had been at it a lot longer then I had," he said. "But I wrote about what people wanted to hear." Simmons has visited every state in the union except three, and has spent assignments in Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Thailand and Canada. He retired from the military and settled down in Oklahoma in 1977. He went on to earn a bachelor's degree in journalism from Central State University (CSU) in 1980 and a master's degree in education in 1981. Simmons began teaching journalism at CSU in 1983 and is currently instructing classes in photography, communications and the subject of his doctoral dissertation: the history of the black press. He was awarded his Ph.D. in May 1995 from Oklahoma State University. While researching the black press, Simmons quickly learned that little had been written on the
subject. He also discovered missing gaps in black history. One of the gaps concerned a riot that broke out in Tulsa in -1921. The police department released a black man who was a suspect for the rape of a white woman and angry mobs set fire to the black community, he said. Simmons had a difficult time finding information about the riot. "It seemed to have disappeared from Tulsa area newspapers," he said.
For those interested in researching black history, Simmons suggests looking through previous issues of black newspapers such as The Pittsburgh Courier or The Black Dispatch. Simmons encourages everyone to learn about the contributions African Americans have made. Not only has Simmons spent years studying the black press and the contributions of African Americans, he lived it.

UCO's East, West residence halls receive renovation to shower stalls By Rob Gallavan Staff Writer
Residents of East and West Halls can look forward to improved shower facilities next fall. The remodeling of the showers was the main topic discussed at the Residence Hall Association (RHA) meeting Feb 1 The renovation of 80 shower stalls and six gang showers (showers with no walls) include: 'removal of floor tile in each shower 'replacement and addition of drains 'improved ventilation 'replacement of mechanical ductwork "ceiling replacement 'replacement of shower lights •new paint The estimated cost of renovating the showers ranges from $350,000 to $400,000, said Jim Hurd of Hurd Associates, the architectural firm for the project. A.K. Rahman, director of Auxiliary Services, said he saved $200,000 for the project over the past four years but needed to ask the Board of Regents for the remaining funds. He said East and West Halls are a priority over Murdaugh Hall because of their existing condition. Renovations for Murdaugh will be put on hold indefinitely. Once the funds are allocated, a bid process for a contractor will begin, he said. Two residents from each of the three halls were chosen to take part in a committee to consult with Hurd on the project. The repairs will begin at the end of this semester and continue through the summer, said Rahman. He said construction will be phased to work around summer school students. The RHA meeting also brought discussion of a
