EDITORIAL------EDITORIAL CARTOON The inner battle

February is recognized in part as Eating Disorder Awareness month, but those affected by the diseases both directly and indirectly should be conscious of them year-round.

While eating diaorders are often classified as shameful or private inner conflicts, their effects reach enough people to invoke a month of awareness. The National Institute of Mental Health reported eating disorders are most common among individuals aged 15-24, making college a key haven for those inflicted. Representatives from Grand Valley State University ’s counseling center said between 25 and 50 percent of females at the school have an eating disorder. Although women dominate the statistics, men affected should be given equal GVl ■ (lUot Iknk attention and consideration. Such diseases can overtake a person ’s daily routine or even cost them their life. YOUR INSIGHTS------Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa are among the most frequently discussed and identified disorders. Anorexia may be recognized as the refusal to maintain body weight at or If you had to give up one of your five above a minimal or normal weight, intense fear of weight gain or dramatic weight loss. Bulimia is characterized by binging senses, which would it be and why? and purging, frequent dieting and extreme concern with weight or shape. While disorders are typically associated with underweight individuals, compulsive overeating and obesity are also ailments of concern. These are recognized as continuous eating past the point of being comfortably full and feelings of self-hatred after eating large amounts. If these symptoms are identified, friends and family should encourage those individuals to seek help. Because eating disorders are mental diseases, the best cure is speaking to

SMART film festival to showcase new media

By Jacob Kubon GVL Staff Writer

It's like grabbing some Listerine and washing that mass media taste out of the mouths of proverbial audiences. In 2005, Zora Carrier, from the European Union, and Gretchen Vinnedge, from Grand Rapids, met and began discussing the idea of creating a festival that allowed students to enter work that is part of a new media They wanted something that would allow the exchange of the media from one country to the next. Grand Rapids Community Media Center and the International Animation Association (ASIFA) are sponsoring the film festival. f The Student Media Arts (SMART) Festival is aimed toward college students who have a voice in the fields of filmmaking and animation. “By partnering with area universities, universities in eight other countries, the Grand Rapids Community Media Center and ASIFA, the SMART festival became a reality," said Vinnedge.
