To fill this emptiness.
Dr. Bringle says women
must leam to "listen to
their innervoices" rather
than constantly strive to
meet unrealistic expec
tations. "The really heal
ing virtue of any eating
disorder is trust. You
have to trust that your
body knows when it is
hungry, when it is full,
and to listen to that.
"To have to trust
there is something out
there to fill the empty
spaces in your life — and
it's not food." She ar
gues that less self-con
sciousness about ap
pearance and a strong
belief in God helps fill
this void.
Beginning with her
first diet in first grade.
Dr. Bringle has
struggled with a lifelong
binge/diet cycle. This
food-weight obsession
culminated when she
was in graduate school,
when she became a full-
fledged bulemic. She
regularly binged on
fo^, then took laxatives
or exercised extensively
to lose the added pounds.
She says she would of
ten fast on water and
grapefruit and think, "I

However, after
studying feminist litera
ture about weightism, "I
made the decision I was
not going to go on an
other diet ever again."
She has since lost 30
pounds and says that al
though she still thinks
of herself as fat some
times, she has learned to
be more comfortable
with her body.
Writing this book has
also helped, acting as a
kind of "self-therapy."
"I found that the more I
write about food and
weight, the less I think
about it," she said.
Bill Clinton has the
heart, talent and vision
for the job, The most
important thing about
Clinton isn't the style,
though it's consider
able, but the substance,
which is more so."

"Of all the Democrats,
I f id myself impressed
most by the political
philosophy of Bill
Clinton. To him, the es
sence of politics lies in
its ability to connect
people - especially chil
dren and families - with
government in a way
that brings purpose to
both."
- Tom Fieldler, Miami
Herald, 11/24/91
"Clinton's smash per
formance at a meeting
of Democratic leaders
[in Chicago], coming
on the heels of several
other cases in which he
outshone his rivals, has
given him special stat
ure. He has become
identified as one candi
date with the kind of
finely honed message
that has the potential of
defeating President
Bush next year."

during the Gulf War last
year? Can you remem
ber? So many were cap
tivated by their televi
sion sets, and the talk of
the war was a main topic
in class. But do you re
member Belk steps? Do
you remember when the
American flag was
burned and the response
on the causewalk? How
about the gruesome, yet
realistic red paint splat
tered causewalk a week
later, the white chalk
outlined bodies, and the
symbolism in the ex
pression.
Possibly these events are
not the most pleasant
experiences in St. An
drews' history; however,
you have to admit today
such forms of expres
sion would be stopped
head on by the adminis
tration. I don't mean to
refer to the latter events
as good points of exem
plary performance on
this campus; however,
they are utilized merely
as examples. (Let it be
known that I am not con
doning any of the activi
ties personally, they are
utilized merely as refer
ence.)
Let me illustrate a
better example. The
Great Debate. St.
Andrews has the oppor
tunity to break a world
record, and the response:
nothing. Every person
on this campus would
only have to debate for
one hour and witness for
two in order to break the
world record by 100
hours. Yet, as usual, our
self-absorption forbids
us from getting up and
making an effort. To
some of you this is not
unusual, but to most of
us and especially the swer.
graduating class this is
not the St. Andrews that
used to be known as a
"community."
The administration
has stated on several
occasions that the
present changes that are
taking place on this cam
pus are for the "benefit
of the St. Andrews Com
munity. "What commu
nity? A community
arises out of individuals
who are proud of their
fellow students, which
this year describes oth
erwise.
St. Andrews is no
longer a community of
the diverse. Rather, ithas
become a college which
represents the minute
class of individuals who
can afford the expenses
of this college in stag
nant economic times.
We have become
merely a college of re
gression rather than a
community of expres
sion.
I fret at this thought;
however, I realize I have
no control over it and
for that I am glad my
time here is limited and
almost over. St. An
drews is changing into
something that as of yet
neither L nor anyone
else, has the knowledge
to determine. I must ad
mit, that the future of
this college scares me
because of what it loses
in the graduating class
of 1992.1 commend this
class for their outspo
ken voices and the last
of the communal legend
they will leave behind.
St. Andrews, I fear for
your existence. The
community has lost its
vigor and only the fu
ture generations of this
once grand college can
change it. Yet, subrais-
siveness is not the an-
