Dr. Susan Wooley presented a lecture on "Eating Disorders: Symbolic Meanings in a Culture in Transition" "Eating disorders are a serious na¬ tional health problem that primarily affects young "women and teenage girls," said Wooley, co-founder and co- director of the Eating Disorders Clinic at the University of Cincinnati Medical School. She added that estimates show that' one-third of the young women in Amer¬ ica may suffer from eating disorders. with the fashion magazines is a myth—that women portrayed as suc¬ cessful or sexy are thin. t "It's time to break the myth," Wooley said. "It's not the reality. Thin women are not necessarily the powerful and. successful women. In fact, women can be regarded as attractive and competent in quite a range of body types." She said the perception is from tran¬ sitions, and women's roles from a period of time not too far back when most women stayed at home and raised the family to the present women are mov¬ ing into male-work world.

OVERVIEW Continued from page 2 hormones and tend to place these callings above all else. Most men will deny this, but don't let them fool you. With this knowledge, women gained the upper hand in the jockeying for power. While men continued to dominate in business and politics, once they got behind closed doors, and the whips and chains came out, these strong- willed men were reduced to pussycats. For love and sex are often synonymous, and men need both, whereas women seem to be able to live without the latter. All of this has contributed to the misunderstandings that permeate male/female relationships. The ideal situation is; boy meets girl, or vice-versa. The two become friends, enjoy each other's company and let their feelings build. Unfortunately, today's society is geared towards Minute Rice, "hello fast times," and one night stands. It's possible to bypass the whole introductory process and end up in the sack without even knowing the other person's last name. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but romance and sharing seem important to me for a strong realtionship. When the looks go, it's all you got left. With the advent of women's equality, men's roles have been further grayed. I was brought up to open the door for another person regardless of sex. However, this has gotten me in trouble i more than once with women who are offended that I think "they cant open a door for themselves." It's absurd. And how far has this equality issue/ been taken? I've rarely heard of girls asking guys out. Equah^y^sTftwo-way street Now, with this supposed equality, men are left confused and unsure of - what women are looking for. The media portrays basically two types of men; The strong, silent, macho type who treat women like dirt. And the sensitive, wimpy type who let women walk all over them. Both are cardboard figures of most real-life men. There are bastions of male chauvinism left, as a recent incident at CSUF reveals, but I think for the most part, men want women to be equal and take half the responsibilities. Until that occurs, the same problems that have haunted men and women". since the dawn Of time will continue. Tim Hurrianko s column will appear every Monday in the Collegian.

To find out the amounts of old chem¬ icals on campus, Terstagen said he has a comprehensive plan to identify those chemicals.
