The result is a situation in which many sexually abused people develop serious eating disorders. Sexually abused people, Morrow said, manage feelings with food in several ways. Some of their strategies include using food to "numb the feelings or to find comfort." Others use food us an escape and as a way to purge feelings while vomiting. And still other victims use food as a way of separating their feelings from their thoughts. Morrow said that often the sexually abused use food as a way to gain control through resistance orrebellion; "Some will use resistance to eating as a way of convincing themselves that if they can control their appetite then they can control everything," she said. "Others rebel from the abuse by not eating or by overeating---even to the point of believing that being excessively thin or extremely overweight will help stop or protect them from the abuse." The coping strategies are extremely complex, she said, but they must be identified if the sexually abused is to heal. After this, the strategies must be analyzed to determine which ones help and which ones hurt, she said. "We must remember to try to understand the complexity," she said'. "Nurture and be patient with yourself while respecting the process." Morrow said it is.also very important that, we educate our- selves about societal messages.

Jr. Wells and the Jr. Wells Blues Band played to a full crowd last Friday the 28 at the Blues Bouquet. Jr. wells brought with him an eight piece band that include a horn section, two guitars, bass, percussion, keys and of course harmonica. In the '50s he replaced Little Walter in the band Muddy Waters but he is most famous for his harmonica trills with Buddy Guy, his partner for 20 years in the '60s through the early '80s. He wrote such hits as Messin' With The Kid, Come 011 /11 This House and Little By Little. Wells, now at the young age of 63, tours various blues clubs

around the U.S. I personally enjoyed experiencing Jr. Wells because he is a blues harmonica legend and Boise doesn't seem to cc enough of music heroes. Some people that I talked to were disappointed in the show because they didn't agree vith his choice of bringing such a big band to back him up. They would have rather have seen him get back to his roots, But I see him as an icon in the era of blues when it was at its highest point no mailer who he brought.

The game opened like someone could have predicted, 6-0 Pacific.

Boise .tate then went on a 10-3 run to keep it close. Pacific answered the lroncos with an 11-3 run to close out the half, leading 28-17. Leading scorer for the Broncos in the first half was Gerry Washington with six points. Corey Anders led the Tigers in scoring .vith seven, followed by Tim Bowman, Mark Boelter, and Monty ·.,. :)wens, who all tallied six points. A Boelter three-pointer opened up the second half scoring, and iave Pacific a 14 point lead over the Broncos.

Huleen tried to rally his team by scoring four straight points, and sparking a 9-0 Bronco spurt. Bowman hit a three to end the run and put Pacific up by 14 again. The two teams played rela- tively even until the clock wound down to 1:32 seconds, when BSU gave it their all to gain a victory, and even closed the lead down to seven points. The Tigers made their free throws, though, and ended lip winning 63-53. The Broncos were led in scoring by Washington and Kenny Van Kirk, with 11 points apiece. Bowman led the Tigers with 21 points. Coach Jensen was disappointed with the loss, but had this to say about Pacific, "They are a tremendous basketball team. They play strong and physical. This is an NCAA tourney team." Jensen also helieved the Broncos could have done better, "It looked like we were trying to break the record for bad shooting we set last week- end, I wish we would try to play harder, better," he stated. Van Kirk, who came off a two game hiatus for personal reasons, had his best game of the year and thought the same as Jensen. "They are definintely good. But this wasn't the effort we were looking for," he commented. The Broncos hope to bounce back in time to beat Idaho, and hope to be able to play better against Pacific in the tournament. As Van Kirk puts it "We are going to use Idaho as a jumping block to get back to Pacific ... we'll see what happens."
