II, 1999 Reported campus rapes unchanged Federal study says number doubles in United States 16 BY ROBERT B. BLUEY News Editor 14 A national survey commissioned by the federal government said the number of 12 rapes committed annually has doubled, while at Ithaca College the number remains stable according to statistics from Campus Safety. 8 The first National Violence Against Women survey estimates more than 876,000 rapes arc committed in the United States each year. The number shows a I 03 percent increase from a similar 1994 survey. Although the number has increased nationwide, at Ithaca College there have been a total of six rapes from 1989 to 1998, according to the college's student hand book. During this time, 21 sexual offenses took place at the college. When compared with other colleges and universities in New York State, Ithaca College is about average. MELISSA L BLOOM ROSE/THE ITHACAN According to crime statistics from the FBI from 1995 to 1997, one rape occurred Campus Safety Norm Wall said.

Due to these restrictions, college students are finding them selves scrounging for a substantial menu. Vegetarians and vegans at For Ithaca College vegetarians and vegans, a trip to the dining hall Ithaca College hope for variety and accuracy and struggle for recogni can be a variety of experiences. tion and, ideally, an improvement in facilities. It can be exposure to fine art: The dinner of freshman vegetarian Liz "You have to be creative because there's so little offered," Falk said.

"That's more than ... can be said for some schools. However, often it's pasta, which is fine. I like pasta, but not five meals a week." " Howard McCullough, director of Dining Services at Ithaca College, said they always receive requests for a better vegetari an and vegan menu and it responds to the best of its abilities given the facilities. "l think we respond very well," McCullough said. "We try to closely represent our population as much as we can. It's very difficult because we have a very diverse pop ulation." Perhaps a more pressing issue for people who prac tice this diet, especially vegans, is the need to know all of the ingredients of the food and be assured they arc correct. Mann said one time he was told that a food was tahini sauce, but upon checking, Mann found out it was a mixture of sour cream and dill pickle. 'This kind of stuff happens all the time," he said. Falk said a friend, who does not cat red meat, was eating from a dish labeled just "fried rice," and she was not aware that it contained pork. Vegetarians and vegans attribute these incidents to a lack of diet knowledge on the workers' part. "I think maybe they just don't know," i'v1ann said. "They don't know what I can eat, what I can't eat. And that's a problem." Vegans, especially those like Mann, whose diets are necessities for health improvement, beli~ve that ingredients should be posted everywhere and that list ings should be more exact. "I don't think a lot of them are really in tune to what's going on with a vegan diet," Murphy said. "There are a lot of small things with odd names (in apparent vegetarian and vegan food} that are in fact animal products."

Turning around to look al the numbers while fear enters the mind. "Just five more," or "why can't I look like that?" Getting on a scale is sometimes a nightmare for athletes. The competition not only lies on the field, but also in the athletes' minds. They strive to be bet ter than the other, not only in performance but also in image. Inside the mind of an athlete, the thoughts of winning, losing and the battles of pracuces arc not always as simple as win-lo!->e situations. Another bat tle lingers. Eating disorders arc a common problem on many college campuses and no stranger to athletes. The NCAA conducted a research project looking at the numbers of student-athletes who experienced an eating disorder in the previous two years. Ninety three percent of the problems were in women's cross country, gymnastics, swimming and track and field. Some were found in men's wrestling and cross country. Ithaca College deals with its share of victims of the two common disorders. Anorexia ncrvosa is self-induced starvation ·created by the fear of becoming "fat" and usually associated with depres sion. Bulimia nervosa, also known as the "binge said. "Some have both [anorexia and purgc" syndrome, involves characteristics of eating bulimia], but it's all about eating behaviors." large amounts of food at one sitting and vomiting, Gymnastics is a sport which has been haunted by things have changed so much," head wrestling coach taking laxatives and/or diuretics to get rid of the eating disorders throughout its history.

"The definitions of eating disorders don't mean a sport attracts athletes owning the same perfectionism Nichols also said he has never had to deal with an whole lot," head gymnastics coach Rick Suddaby that fostered the disorder. eating disorder on his team.
