For instance, Charters and Dresbach, who will present the April 19 talk, will actually travel to the Soviet Union. Tufts first got the idea for the meetings from a similar one she attended at the Oregon Graduate Center. It was a three-day seminar hosted by the National. Science Founda tion on “Technology, Arms Control and National Security.” “There were only two psychologists there, and I was one of them,” Tufts said. The speakers were from all different fields, including sociologists, scientists, and representatives from Livermore Radiation Labs, where a great deal of America’s nuclear research is conducted. The College’s convoca tions will be cross-disciplinary and so far the speakers are “all internal. We don’t use our faculty as much as we should,” Tufts said. “Sometimes, we bring in people from the out side to speak who aren’t as good as our own people.” The meetings are design ed for College, faculty, and students, but Tufts pointed out they are open to the public. “These meetings are a short-cut to self-education on particular issues,” Tufts said. Last week, she presented the first meeting on “Biblical Pro May 17: “A European phecy and Nuclear War: A Viewpoint of Nuclear Issues,” Psychological look at ‘The Late, Great Planet Earth’.” by librarian Valery McQuaid. Nuclear war, its possiblities, probabilities, causes and effects will be the topics of a series of all-College convocations planned for the remainder of this term and next. The “chautauqua” style workshops were introduced to the College by psychology in structor Marlene Tufts and will be held on Tuesdays at noon in the McLoughlin Hall Theater. The speakers will all be staff and faculty members from the College. Topics and speakers will include: Feb. 8: “If You Want Peace, Prepare for War,” by history instuctor Dr. Donald Epstein. Feb. 22: “What are the Origins of the Cold War? Some New Information on an Old Problem,” by social sciences in structor Dr. Joe Uris.

Jeffries Of The Print College Nurse Bonnie Hartley-Linse Anorexia Nervosa, an almost unpronounceable name for an enigmatic disorder. Normally striking during the late teen years, anorexia is a syndrome affecting primarily women that is characterized by voluntary self-starvation that oftentimes leads to death if treatment is not received. An outgrowth of a society that places heavy emphasis upon slimness, women become so obsessed with losing weight that they fail to realize when they’ve gone far below “slim” and have proceeded into the danger zones of starvation. Anorexia is most prevalent in female patients, who com prise 95 percent of the known diagnosed cases. The age of onset can range from puberty up to the 30’s, but usually oc curs between the ages of 12 and 18. The teen years are considered very high-risk. The disorder usually begins and continues with and because of an intense fear of becoming obese which does not diminish even with pro gressive weight loss. Typically, (Please turn to Page 3)
