THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3A
Women's hall examines body image
By Summer Lewis Kansan staff writer
Residents of Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall took some time out of dinner last night to answer trivia questions about fitness, nutrition and body image.
The Jeopardy game was part of the "Celebrate Every Body" week.

Barbara Wilson, dietitian at GSP-Corbin, said the activity was important because of the all-woman population in the hall.
Falestine Afaniruzik, Minneapolis sophomore, ponders the answer to a Nutrition and Fitness Jeopardy question held by Ann Chapman, a dietician at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Women in the GSP-Corbin dining center played the game yesterday as part of "Celebrate Every Body" week.
"Dieting is important to them, and this week we are promoting healthy, happy eating and ways to respect our bodies," Wilson said.
Jennifer Daugherty, Huntington Beach, Calif., freshman, said she thought it was effective to have the jeopardy game in the residence hall.
each unique body type."
"I think 'Celebrate Every Body' week is a great idea, especially to have something featured in the GSP-Corbin dining center because it seems like so many girls here are obsessed with their weight and their body image." Daugherty said. "It is great for us to celebrate what we have and
Throughout the evening, girls answered questions about healthy eating habits. Laura Fisher, Dallas, Ore., freshman, said she was glad to see Watkins Memorial Health Center officials at GSP-Corbin.
"I think this week's program is excellent and I am really excited to see Watkins getting involved all over campus," Fisher said. "It is good to spread all of this healthy information to the girls."
Jill Urkoski, coordinator of recreation services, said it was critical for students to learn healthy habits.
"This is a really important age to do something like this for college students," she said. "I think that between high school and college, students are doing a lot of soul searching and finding out who they are."
Urkoski said college students could be influenced by the wrong kind of people and given wrong information.
"In high school you have friends and family," she said. "Once you get out on your own, you can be easily influenced by
other people or the media or somebody who lives a couple of rooms down from you. I think that students can get off track sometimes, and it is hard for them to realize that they might have a problem."
She said the Jeopardy game and the other events this week
were a celebration of individuality.
"It is really important for us to celebrate who we are and what shape we are," Urkoski said.

Kiosk gives students forum to publish work; entry deadline today
By Maggie Koerth Kansan staff writer
Budding writers looking for a place to publish their work might be able to find a spot in the Kiosk.
The Kiosk is published each semester. Eric Davis, St. Louis senior, is the editor-in-chief of the Kiosk. He said the name was originally chosen to reflect the magazine's intent.
The Kiosk is published each semester.
Once all the submissions are in, a board of students reads them, and picks its favorite. The editors then have a conference to decide which pieces will ultimately be published.
The deadline to submit work to the Kiosk, the University's 12-year-old, student-published literary magazine, is 5 p.m. today.
"People want a place to get their work out," he said. "We get about 70 poems and about 35 short stories every semester."
Davis said he thought the Kiosk had lasted such a long time because it filled a student need.
The Kiosk usually publishes about three stories and 10 poems each semester.
Scott McKenzie, Salina junior, had one of his poems, "First First Nation," published last spring.
"A kiosk is a place to display art and ideas," he said. "It's a forum, and that's what the magazine is as well."
McKenzie said he submitted five poems and was surprised about which one got published.
"I didn't really think it represented me or my work very well," he said.
The department of English helps finance the magazine,but the staff also relies on outside funding to publish.
All students can make submissions to the Kiosk. Students interested in submitting should bring three typed copies of each entry to 3114 Wescoe or e-mail the Kiosk at thekioskku@hotmail.com. Entrants should also include a cover letter with their name, KUID number, phone number, e-mail address and the title of the work.
The Kiosk staff will be throwing a benefit concert at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 14. in Hashinger Hall theatre.

Max Pounds said that he was proud of her willingness to work for the farm and her commitment to her family.
"I think I like foods a lot based on their texture," she said. "I like peanut butter and bananas because I like that texture."
"She's very kind," he said. "She's just truly the most perfect daughter you could ever have."
Sometimes her lack of smell can be dangerous. A week before school began last fall, a fire started in the chicken coop just outside her family's rural home. She wasn't able to smell the fumes and only discovered the fire after she saw smoke entering the house.

Firefighters put out the fire before it could seriously damage their home, but she said that the event was frightening.
"It was only us kids home," Pounds said. "It was so, so scary."
But the times when her disability is dangerous are rare. In fact, Pounds said a lack of smell had allowed her to help do jobs on the farm that would have been unpleasant for others in her family. She has helped clean everything from moldy freezers to cow manure
"I could see my mom in the corner gagging," she said. "It didn't bother me, I was glad that I could help."
