Garth Brooks and Natalie Cole bash the Grammys: Grammy nominees Natalie Cole and Garth Brooks have unusually forthright opinions about what the awards mean. "Bottom line, of all the award shows, the Grammys mean money," Cole said. "It can increase your album sales. If you are a performer who goes out on the road, it can increase your fee. It really does turn into dollars." Brooks told TV Guide in its Feb. 22 issue that award shows "are highly overrated." "I don't want to bite the hand that feeds me, but I don't have too much feeling for these awards," he said. "Winning may tend to make you look better than you are." Cole received four nominations, including one for album of the year for "Unforgettable," a tribute to her father, the late Nat "King" Cole. Brooks was nominated for Best Country Male Vocalist for "Ropin' the Wind" and for the video for "The Thunder Rolls." The Grammys will be broadcast Feb. 25 on CBS. 10 Years Ago At USC: The Feb. 18, 1982 issue of The Gamecock reported that Ray and Maisie Ballou have received nationwide publicity since the death of their son at a fraternity party Jan. 25, 1980. The Ballou's were fighting an uphill battle to make hazing controlled by law in South Carolina as it is in eight other states. "We're not against fraternities," Ray Ballou said. "We just want somebody to be responsible when they have their rituals. We're not trying to get rid of hazing ? we just want some responsible people to take charge." The Ballou's were calling for a law that would send fraternities to jail if they didn't take responsibility for their activities. (VOTE! VOTE!

MICHELLE HARRISON Staff Writer The Russell House Ballroom riveted with loads of talent Sunday evening as hundreds of people turned out to witness the various acts offered in this year's talent show. The show was hosted by local radio personality Anthony "Just Kickin'" Keith of WWDM. The nine-act show followed the theme "Expressions." There was singing, dancing, rapping and two monologues. While the judges' votes were counted at the end of each performance, a group called Kulnd T Money performed an original rap. r-v 11 ii ivii ly ui ycii not just its offict a strong team c will be a particu serving as an O' hoping to be on For mi All students, I Sponsored I xisands of s dying to los By SHANNON BAYNUM Staff Writer Girls are dying to be thin, literally and figuratively. Messages from a TV screen, ads in magazines and voices inside people's heads are whispering to them that they are unworthy unless their bodies are perfect. Compulsive overeating, bulimia and anorexia are eating disorders prevalent among females in high school and college, but commonly misunderstood and shamefully denied. Eating disorders affect four to 19 percent of the population, and the percentage is higher among college students. Of USC's 27,000 students, 1,080 to 5,130 suffer from an eating disorder, according to statistics. To the outsider, the disorders may seem vain or out-of-control, but to the victims, weight is a matter of success or failure, fit or fat, do or die. nrua ? * I I * j ~ * ? _ mice uueiuiai eamuuaies in USC's program of clinical community psychology, Lisa Jackel, Diana Walthers and Heidi Hamernik, have studied eating disorders. Compulsive overeating is "hinging," overeating with emotional reasons behind it. Jackel said a compulsive overeater eats more than he or she intends to, without being able to stop, and feels guilty afterward. Bulimia is a disorder of binging and purging. A "binge" is not the amount of food a person eats, but how they feel about it. Bulimics tend to binge on great quantities of food usually high in calories, carbohydrates and fat, and then they purge the food from their system by self-induced vomiting or with laxatives. In more severe cases, bulimia can rupture a person's esophagus, cause kidney and bowel problems, if using laxatives, and alter body chemistry so much that vital organs shut down and hospitalization is required. Bulimic tendencies also are found in a form of anorexia. Anorexia has two forms, bulimic anorexia and restrictive anorexia. Bulimic or "binging anorexics" alternate from drastically restricting jrtainment! us singers highlig Also during the brief intermission, the winners of last year's show, Ebonee, performed a rendition of John Lennon's "Imagine." A group of students called "Romans 10" won first place in the show. Second-place honors went to Sandrea Longshore who sang "How Can You Hurt the One You love?" Shesawnda Goings captured third place with her monologue of Dr. Martin Luther King's unforgettable speech "The Drum Major." The first place act, "Romans 10," consisted of MaRion Boyd II, who led the group, Darrell Walker, Alan Wilson, TeNeane Johnson, \ UNITED V |A DIVIDED g I BUILDING f I ORGANIZJ f / / / 4* February 0^ 4:00 p.m., Rus lization is a product of 3rs.

Some signs of anorexia are being severely underweight, which is considered as 10 to 25 percent below health level, having intolerance to cold temperatures, and having fine body hair that grows over the body to keep it warm. Eating disorders are prevalent, but no one fully understands the complex reasons behind the development of the disorders. Researchers do know the problem of eating disorders is not just food, but also complex and internal problems that affect the eater. People with eating disorders 1 1 -J i^uu iaj nave euuuiiuu uaeKgruunu traits such as low self esteem, dysfunctional families, intrusive or enmeshed family members that need to know or control everything, traumatic events, lack of confidence during change or transition and lack of conflict resolution. If you think ypu may know someone with an eating disorder, look for signs of a person rapidly losing weight, staying abnormally thin and being withdrawn or depressed. Bulimics may go to the bathroom or leave right after they eat. Listen for comments like, "Oh, I can't belive I ate the whole thing. I'm so fat," or if he or she has a preoccupation with food being "bad" or the enemy. "When first talking to someone who may have a disorder, don't mention weight," Walthers said. "Tell them they seem unhappy and then offer to help in a nonthreatening way." Being a good listener is a great help. Suggest that the person talk with someone who understands eating disorders, like a therapist or support group. USC's Student Health Center, Counseling and Human Development Center and the Psychological Services Center offer help and information for anyone interested in finding out more. The Psychological Services Center on Gervais Street has an eating disorder support group meeting every Tuesday from 8-9:15 p.m. Call 777-4864 for more information. ;ht talent show Nichelle Johnson, Cyrene Holman and Cynthia Mobley, who provided backup. Stephanie Scales was piano accompanist. "We did not enter the talent show to win," Boyd said. "Our goal was to deliver a powerful message ? that salvation is a free gift from God made available to all men by Christ Jesus. We were singing about Jesus, and it was Him the judges chose. To Him be all the glory forever, Amen." Robert Ellington, chairperson for the talent show, said it was interesting to watch the development and proceeding of the talent sho;w.
