Binge Eating Study to Begin Next Week at UNC
BY ELLEN FIASPOEHLER
STAFF WRUFR
In everyday college life, students face
numerous pressures, including acing the
next exam, being able to find a job after
graduation and fitting in with the in-crowd.
Of all the pressures, perhaps one of the
most detrimental to the health of college
age women is the pressure to fit in.
Many women think that in order to be
accepted Ihey must meet the standards set
by a looks-onented society. They must be
the perfect weight and have a glamorous
figure. These social standards make many
women obsessed with the idea of being
thin, an attitude that may lead to eating
disorders.
The most well-known eating disorders
are anorexia and bulimia, but another dis
order has surfaced in the world of psychol
ogy Binge Eating Disorder is the primary
focus of a research study to be conducted
by psychology Professor Linda Craighead
and graduate student Heather Allen.
Craighead said anorexia was character
ized by not eating and by exercising exces
sively. Bulimia is separated into two as
pects, binging and purging. Purging is the
process of making up for overeating by
excessive exercising or inducing vomiting,

Vitale. But there will be no national cover
age during the event Friday.
Daniel Thornton, CAA graduate ad
viser, said the national coverage and hype
may have taken away from the student
player interaction.
“I love the extra attention we got, and it
helped attendance,” he said. “But I think
the (ESPN coverage) took away from the
players and took away from the intimacy
of the event.”
The Tar Heel Tip-Off will begin at 11
p.m. on Friday and will be held at the Dean
E. Smith Center. The Smith Center doors
will open at 10:40 p.m., but only students
with UNC One Cards will be able to enter
at this time. The general admission doors
will open to the rest of the public at 10:55
p.m.
The CAA has organized various con
tests, including chances for students to win
their weight in Coke and also to win SIOO
in a “Cash Grab” contest, Thornton said.
TheDukeandFlorida State “ SuperF an”
Blocks will be given away. The festivities
will also include performances by the UNC
band, the cheerleaders, the High Kicking
Heels and an appearance by the women’s
basketball team.
“It will be a great opportunity for play
ers, students and alumni to enjoy them
selves on Friday night," Thornton said.
The players will make their appearance
at midnight, marking the beginning of the
1994-95 basketball season.

while binging is out-of-control eating.
' Many women don’t purge but they do
binge," Craighead said. “We now want to
focus attention on those people who only
binge, which is the Binge Eating Disor
der.”
Craighead and Allen want to study
women who binge several times a week but
do not purge. These binge periods may not
be noticeable to others as a time when an
individual overeats, but the individual
knows that she is eating more than normal.
The study will try to examine how help
ful psychologists can be in diagnosing BED.
It will consist of a wait-list group. One
group will participate during this semester,
and the second group will be treated sec
ond semester, starting in January. There is
no payment for participation, and treat
ment is free. Craighead would like to start
the study next week.
Craighead would like 10 to 20 female
volunteers between the ages of 18 and 26
who are not involved in any other therapy
for eating disorders. Participants must be
normal to overweight and must binge at
least twice a week without purging.
The study’s goal is to help the partici
pants stop binging and start eating more
naturally and normally. “This is not really
a weight-loss program, but if the person is
New Guidelines Set for Super Fan Section
BYGAUTAMKHANDELWAL
STAFF WRITER
North Carolina students who think they
may be the ultimate Tar Heel fans may be
rewarded by applying for the “Super Fan”
block seats available for the 1994-95 bas
ketball season.
The Super Fan block consists of four
rows of seats in section 109 of the Dean E.
Smith Center, behind the UNC team’s
bench.
UNC head coach Dean Smith allotted
these seats, which were formerly reserved
for the players’ parents, to the student body
at the beginning of the 1992-93 season,
said CAA co-president Nil Dalai.
Dalai said the seating change was made
as an effort to increase student spirit at the
games and to provide students with prime
seats at basketball games.
“Two years ago, we had the back four
rows [of Section 109] reserved for students
and the front four rows for the players’
parents,” Dalai said. “Coach Smith
switched the seating arrangement so that
students would be seated as close as pos
sible to the floor, and the parents received
the back four rows.”
In previous years, the CAA used a
“magic number" system in which numbers
were randomly picked to be included in the
Super Fan Block. Dalai said the new sys
tem should increase student spirit at the
men’s basketball games.

appearance is a factor in

overweight she may find that it helps,”
Craighead said.
The study includes an eight-week
therapy program that focuses on helping
participants get more in touch with their
natural hunger and fullness keys. Most
BED sufferers feel out of touch with their
regular eating cycle because they eat ac
cording to diets while not paying attention
to their hunger.
Craighead wants to help the partici
pants get to a point where they will think
their eating habits are natural and be able
to resist the urge to overeat.
Few studies have been conducted on
BED because the disorder was not distin
guished from other disorders until this year.
Craighead said her study was important
Super Fan Block
Application Rules
1. Twenty-four names, along with their
social security numbers, must be written
on the application.
2. The group must be given a name. Groups
do not have to be recognized student
organizations to be eligible.
3. The first person on the list is the official
group representative and must include
his or her telephone number.
4. Each person may only enter the contest
as part of one block. Anyone appearing
on more than one Super Fan Block
application will be disqualified from all of
the blocks he or she has signed up for.
5. At least 12 of the 24 persons on the list
must be present in the Pit on Oct. 18 at
noon. At least six of the 12 persons
present must have on some kind of
North Carolina apparel.
6. Special rules apply for the Duke and
Florida State contests. Entries must be
turned in Thursday, Oct. 13, by 5 p.m.,
at the CAA office.
“Last year, we had an average of 3,000
people applying for the block seats for each
game,” she said. “This year, not only are
we having an application process, but we
are also dividing the seats into two 24-seat
blocks ratherthan one 48-seat block, which
will give more chances to students for win
ning the block.”
But if students want to sit at these prime
because it confronted two problems that
needed to be addressed. One problem is
that for overweight people suffering from
BED, the process of weight loss is usually
not successful because ofbinging. The sec
ond problem is that for many, BED is the
stage before the development of even more
serious eating disorders.
Craighead believes this is a relevant
problem on a college campus because of
self-esteem problems.
“We live in a society in which appear
ance is a factor in social life, but we tend to
focus too much on outer appearance rather
than concentrating on things like being
friendly," she said. “Appearance is a factor
that women can do something about, so
they latch on to it.”
Our culture is filled with pictures of
ultrathin models that tell wijjpen what
they should look like. Most models have
body weights that are subnormal. Ath
letes, dancers and models are also at high
risk for eating disorders.
Anyone interested in participating
should contact Heather Allen or Linda
Craighead at 962-5082 and leave a mes
sage with the Psychology Department sec
retary. A consultation will be conducted
over the phone, and then participants will
be chosen.
seats, they must do exactly that sit.
Smith has implemented anew rule stating
that students in the Super Fan block must
sit for the majority of the game but are
allowed to stand and cheer during exciting
plays.
Groups failing to sit after being warned
by Smith Center ushers will be ejected
from their seats.
Dalai said that Smith’s decision was
made as a compromise between the stu
dents and the alumni who are seated be
hind the students.
“Coach Smith wrote us a letter over the
summer and said that many of the parents
and alumni are not able to stand up all
game, ” Dalai said. “Many have bad backs
and what-not, and they can’t physically
stand up for the entire game.”
Daniel Thornton, CAA graduate advi
sor, said he didn’t think that the new rule
would pose a problem.
“We would certainly prefer for students
to stand up, but we recognize that the seats
are a gift from Coach Smith," Thornton
said. “It is his prerogative to give it to us or
to take it away, and so we do respect his
decision, and we will enforce it.
“Sometimes, after a good play, many
students just stand there and don’t cheer,
and I can see how that could be frustrating
to people seated behind them.
“They’re still outstanding seats, and I
don’t think the new rule is going to take
away from the seats.”

Beelzebubs, University of Pennsylvania 6-
5000, the University of Rochester
Yellowjackets, the UVa. New Dominions
and the Loreleis.
Each group attempted to outdo the pre
vious performers and capture the audience’s
heart, but each had that special “some
thing” that made them unique and likable.
While the music was impressive, the
logistics of the event left much to be de
sired. Gerrard Hall simply didn't provide
enough room for the event. There was little
space to move comfortably, and many seats
had an obstructed view. Also, programs
are needed to keep track of the performers.
Luckily, the tremendous amount of
musical talent at the concert prevailed over
all else.
Tar Heel Voices delivered what was
perhaps the most impressive set ofFriday's
performance. The group has improved tre
mendously since last year’s performances
with the addition of several new members
and a recent selection of diverse hits.
Member Crystal Harwell stole the show
with her rendition of the 4 Non Blondes’
hit “What’s Going On.” Harwell was as
good as if not better than the group ’ s actual
lead singer, without the huge mouth and
nappy hair.
Other impressive hits included TFTV’s
rendition of the Proclaimers’ “500 Miles
(I’m Gonna Be)” and "Mighty Moe.”
The UVa. Hullabahoos presented the
most contemporary, hip selection of jams,
which seemed most closely suited to the
college audience. Stage fright certainly isn’t
in the Hullabahoos’ vocabulary, because
the group’s performance was the most re-

laxed of the evening. They successfully
interspersed humorous skits, such as a
“what to do when you spot someone on
campus you want to avoid” skit, with seri
ous singing.
Group member Kevin Fudge took in
spiration from Boyz II Men with Cyndi
Lauper’s “True Colors” and New Edition’s
“Cool It Now.” The Hullabahoos’ laid
back session had the rowdy audience beg
ging for more of their Southern flair.
The UNC Clef Hangers stuck to the
oldies Friday, performing calmer selec
tions seemingly geared toward an older
population. With the exception of Green
Day’s “Cracking Up,” the majority of the
Clefs’ songs were mellow, like James
Taylor’s “Down on Copper Line.” Five
members of the group showed their ability
to combine several songs in one with im
pressive rounds of “Frere Jacques,’’“Swing
Low, Sweet Chariot” and “Row Your
Boat.” Brad King wowed the audience
with his performance of “Sleeping With
the Television On,” and the entire group
jammed with the Beatles’ “All my Lovin’
The Loreleis proved they take music
seriously with their set, gamering a stand
ing ovation. Dressed all in black, the group
appeared eloquent and mature while per
forming beautiful music in high-pitched
melody.
In addition to their attention-grabbing
set, the Loreleis had the most humorous
skit of the evening, which satirized the
Homecoming court. They also performed
ear-catching renditions of Mary-Chapin
Carpenter’s “Passionate Kisses” and
Blondie’s “Call Me.”
