Student security guards usually watch the lobby from midnight to 8 a.m., but because of the night guard shortage, the lobby is being closed, Smith said.

The only inconveniences Smith noted were: "The students don't have a lobby to study or meet friends in (at night)," and students who might use the lobby as a shortcut to 8 a .m. classes now have to go around the building. Anorexia n By Kathy Woodham Gamecock StaH Writer Anorexia nervosa, an illness primarily afflicting women in their teens and early 20s, can cause the victim to "look into the mirror and perceive themselves as healthy and still feel the need to lose weight, when literally, they're as skinny as a rail," Dr. Richard Lashley, psychiatrist at the Thomson Student Health Center, said. Lashley described anorexia as a subconscious rebellion by the patient to parental demands and expectations. Mild forms ol anorexic behavior may occur in college populations, he added. The resentment lies in trying tc earn love and respect from parents. "I think the real root causes are deep and far back in a oerson's life." Lashley said. THE PATIENT FEELS hei weight and body image are under her control, and "this superficial teenage rebellion is used as a levei to upset her parents," Lashle> said. The subconscious revenge motive is the patient's hope foi independence and control. "Some parents are often pushy ||g|J $8 pfc Tuesdcr 5Pm*^oin us for dinner and rwr.?#5 >f|k, ?

ROBERT BURGIN, officer in charge of coordinating student guards, is currently requesting about 20 students for night guard positions, Bannister said. About five students have been told to report to Burgin, he added. "Midnight to 8 a.m. is a deterrent right there, and our pay isn't the best," Burgin said. The night security guards are paid $2.75 an hour, he added.
