8 by Karen White * WCnewsmagazine News about Americas Obesity Epidemic is everywhere these days. Approximately two- thirds of American adults are either overweight or obese. What about our campus population? In 2002, 50.4% of our students were considered obese. Thats not much better considering our age demographics. To assist students as well as employees of Western in losing those unwanted pounds, a weight loss group has been started: LEAN. LEAN stands for lifelong exercise and nutrition, hoping to reinforce the concept that a healthy LEAN group encourages healthy living 5:00pm weigh-in; 5:15 meeting Location: Rogers Room UC free open to students, staff, and faculty open enrollment join any time weekly weights weekly meetings group support education recognition of weight loss by Margaret Hester * WCnewsmagazine On Jan. 25, 2005, a town hall forum met in the Grand Room of the UC to discuss sexual assault. This meeting was called due to concerns about a recent rise in sexual assaults at Western. Sexual assault as defined by the Encarta Dictionary is an incident that involves sexual contact that is forced on somebody or to which somebody cannot consent. Sexual assault is not just something that happens to women; men can also be sexually assaulted. It may be difficult to believe, but between May 2004 and Dec. 2004, 17 Western students reported that they were raped. Did you know that 2.1 percent of western students have reported experiencing unwanted sexual touch? That is higher than any other university, according to NCHA. Unfortunately, alcohol is involved in most sexual assaults. Also, with the majority of assaults, the victim is acquainted with the assaulter. These are scary facts, but there is something that can be done, which was the purpose of Tuesday nights forum. The meeting began with the introduction of the guest speakers and a few comments made by each. Marsha Griffin, Director of Sexual Assault of REACH, was the first to begin the discussion. Griffin informed the audience of options that are offered by REACH of Jackson County, which included emergency shelter and counseling. Debbie Beck, Director of Health Center on Campus, spoke about how the Health Center Alternating Tuesday & Wed. evenings (2/2, 2/8, 2/16, 2/22, and so on) lifestyle is just that a lifestyle, not a quick diet. We know that 95% of dieters regain the weight lost on a diet; many gain back a few more pounds as well. LEAN encourages gradual, do-able, but effective changes in diet and exercise. While there is a diet plan, it serves only as a guide. Each educational program will focus on one part of the diet plan, and illustrate ways the plan can be met while eating on-campus in the dining halls. Exercise plans will also be given to members, as will discounts off of aerobics at handles sexual assault cases. Beck stated that all priorities of the staff at the Health Center shift to the person reporting assault. Also, Beck discussed ways in which the Health Center helps the victim, including examinations, emergency contraception and setting up a rape kit, if desired. As of now, the morning after pill is the emergency contraception that is available through the Health Center. In the future, the Health Department hopes to have sexual assault nurse examiners available to perform rape kits on campus. The Health Center is not the only place at which a victim can receive help on campus. The counseling center is another place. Lisa Koralewicz was the representative from the counseling center who informed the audience of options, such as free counseling and individual or group counseling. Also, crisis intervention is available, which is when a counselor will insist a victim through any process they may need. Representing the Western Police Department was Tammy Ammons-Hagberg whom is also the victims assistance officer. Ammons-Hagberg said she is not only around to assist in filing a report but also through any process one may wish to have support. After being introduced to everyone, the floor was opened to any questions or comments. Questions included How should the faculty respond to a student reporting to them about an assault; If counseling was a good idea even if it has been years since the the fitness center. A summary of the essential information and benefits of the program follows. For more information, contact Karen White, MS, RD, LDN dietitian at the Health Center at 227-2088 or kawhite@wcu.edu. Also, check out our website: http://wellness.wcu.edu/lean/index.html. Sexual Assault Forum meets to discuss problem at WCU assault; and What to do during an assault. Between the many groups represented at this meeting, all topics were covered. There are ways in which one can feel more secure in situations. A few tips include not going to parties alone, always having one sober person to look out for others, never leaving a friend in an uncomfortable situation, not taking drinks from strangers, avoiding open containers and being assertive when saying NO. Looking out for one another is always the best way to protect against dangerous situations. Being involved is great way to inform others and help with a worthy cause. However, victims do not always have to be women. A group has recently been started by a few gentlemen on campus called Men Against Violence Against Women or MAVAW. More information on this group will be available soon. If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, remember that it is never too late to report this crime; however, it is best to report it within 72 hours. For more information or to talk about experiences, please contact one or more of the following: Counseling Center at 7640, Health Services at 7640, REACH of Jackson County at 586- 8969, Residential Living at 7303, and of course the police at 911. There is no reason to feel ashamed oF nervous about coming forward because these pecs are only here to help. Together we can all stop sexua assaults at Western.
