Esteem: M'en falling into appearance fixation
Continued from page 1.
standards of beauty in society.
Women who learn to look at their
bodies more instrumentally will
find they can perform many tasks.
The standard of how wtell females
perforin sports and other forms of
exercise is not as difficult to mea¬
sure up to.
"Self-esteem can ^ive us a sense
of control over our bodies and what
we are strong enough to do," Rose
Mylon said, professor of Physical
Education and Human Resources.
"If we have a fairly balanced
view of our body, our self-esteem
tends to be fairly high."
An example of a distorted body
image is a woman who believes she
is too fat when she is not. It be¬
comes an obsessive behavior to be¬
come thin.
Osborne said studies have
shown that when women stop com¬
paring themselves to women in
commercials, television shows and
magazines, their self-esteem will
increase.
Women should focus on how
well their body performs.
Mylon said society and women's
own self-imposement has caused
them to develop anorexia and
bulimia.
"With the narrow ranges of
beauty [in the media], we should
realize we do not have to be per¬
fect," Osborne said.
In the past ten years, men have
been judged more ornamentally.
Theinstrumental aspect of the male
physique has become less,
important. Males have become in¬
creasingly self-conscious of their
appearance.
"One out of every four people
who have facial plastic surgery/fa¬
cial reconstruction are men,"
Osborne said.
Men having their eyes lifted and
chins tucked are catching up to the
number of women who have facial
surgery. *
More men are also having body
reconstruction as well. * y
Today, men are just as likely to said.
be victims of society's standard of
attractiveness.
"Instead of women not being as
critically judged by their appear¬
ance by society, society is becom¬
ing less accepting of males' bodies
as well," Osborne said.
However, males and females'
should continue to workout, she
said.
"Through a psycho-physical
component, physical activity causes
an elevation in mood, which can
cause higher self-esteem," Mylon

typical test given by Chesemore
will ask students to identify an
animal by a few select remains.
"He'll give you an upper and
lower jaw and you have to identify
the types of teeth, if there should
be gaps, things like that," Encanta
Engleby, a biology major with an
option in ecology, said. Engleby
hopes to have a career in wildlife
management.
A skull can tell a story to the
trained scientist. "We always keep
the skulls, because you can tell past
injuries and how old it was," Will¬
iam Partlow, California State Uni¬
versity, Fresno zoology student
said.
Students also learn to skin and
preserve animals. Displaying draw¬
ers full of rabbits, gophers and
mice, Partlow describes the speci¬
men preparation.
"Everything is taken out, includ¬
ing the skull. The forebones may be
left because they're hard to re¬
move," Partlow said.
The specimen is either preserved
round with a cotton stuffing or flat
on a board. During lab hours, stu¬
dents usually work individually,
from specimens on hand.
. Monday the class studied bats.
To record the measurements of a
bat's skull, which a e less than one
inch in diameter, students need spe¬
cial microscopes called dissecting
scopeft
Though the animals used in the
class are provided for them, stu¬
dents also study, trapping and track¬
ing methods and occasionally trap
their own specimens.
"We're going to go out and col¬
lect some mice this weekend,"
Chesemore said. "We'll be running
around at night with infrared lights
and automatic cameras,".
Chesemore said.
Chesemore said students get
most excited about studying carni¬
vores.
A bear, fox, bobcat or coyote
will be prepared later in the semes¬
ter.
,i.
Chesemore said large animals
are harder to prepaid than smaller
ones since '.here is much more flesh
to scrape from the skins. In the case
of large animals, students will work
in groups of two or three.
Chesemore said in the course of
the semester, each student will pre¬
pare five to ten museum-quality
pieces.
While Zoology 177 teaches how
to prepare and preserve animals, the
preparation could not be termed
"taxidermy."
A taxidermist will prepare an
animal in a lifelike pose such as
catching its prey or flying. The taxi¬
dermist will use a foam urethane
body and glass eyes.
"Sometimes they'll put artificial
teeth in. since the natural teeth may
be cracked or broken,".Chesemore
said. ■
This summer, Chesemore will
teach the first Fresno State taxi¬
dermy class in an extension course.
"I just learned to do this last
summer. I've wanted to learn taxi¬
dermy since I was eight years old,"
Chesemore said.
He hopes to teach a taxidermy
class during the regular semester
within a year or so.
