Spotlight on Organizations From the Inside Out
BY MEGAN HIRT
It looks like a regular bathroom scale, but rather than a number, stepping onto From the Inside Out's scale generates an uplifting affirmation by which to measure the body
"Our scale puts a different spin on weighing yourself," said Nicole Tichener, St. Louis sophomore and co-president of From the Inside Out. "It allows you to walk away with a smile on your face."
From the Inside Out is a peer education organization through the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center. The group hosts interactive workshops across campus that address issues such as body image, eating disorders and gender stereotypes. The workshops aim to help KU students develop positive perceptions of their bodies.
"The message we try to get across is essential for people who are in college and are basically starting a new life," Tichon said. "It's really easy to get stressed out and slip into unhealthy habits and ways of thinking about yourself."
From the Inside Out began in Spring 2005 and has 15 members who team up to lead workshops. Tichenor said the group had been invited to give presentations in health classes and at residence halls and sororites.
As part of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week. From the Inside Out will have an informational display set up on Level 4 of the Kansas Union this Tuesday and Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The week's theme is "Be Comfortable in Your Genes," which stresses genetics' influence on appearance as well as a person's risk of developing an eating disorder. Along with raising awareness of eating disorders, Tichnor said the display would highlight the media's role in creating unrealistic body expectations.
From the Inside Out is planning campus-wide events to celebrate Women's History Month in March, and the group will also take part in "Lock in to Grow Together," a retreat for local high school girls on March 11. Tichener said the organization
was excited to share its positive message with Lawrence youth.
"We want to empower them to make good decisions and give them the tools to do that," she said.
Members of From the Inside Out who facilitate workshops must become certified by attending a training session. Tichenor said anyone interested in becoming a facilitator should come to one of the group's meetings. The group meets every other Wednesday at 5 p.m. in the Wheat Room of the Student Involvement and Leadership Center on Level 4 of the Kansas Union. The next meeting is March 7. Questions can be sent to etw@ku.edu.

What do you think?

WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ON THE KANSAS HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES PASSING A BILL TO MAKE ENGLISH THE OFFICIAL STATE LANGUAGE?
MOHAMMAD AL HADAB
Saudi Arabia freshman
"When people from Europe come to KU, it is good to know that every class is going to be in English."
KELSEY JENSEN
Overland Park sophomore "I really think they should not have made it the official language because more than one language makes the state — or any state — unique. Plus it will probably restrict a lot of people from moving here."
SAM LOBURGIO
Great Bend freshman
"I don't care. I don't really pay attention to politics."
RACHELLE NETZER
Lawrence sophomore
"I'm torn because I think for organizational, governmental reasons and legislation, it's important to have one language. But symbolically, it supports anti-immigration issues that the U.S. has been fighting for several years."

odd news
Lucky toddler finds $1,300 in story book
MCDONOUGH, Ga. - Rhiannon Barnes may be the luckiest 15-month-old ever. Or maybe her baby sister is the fortunate one.
While playing with a thrift store book bought earlier in the day for 25 cents, Rhiannon uncovered $1,300 in cash stock between the pages. Her baby sitter Sheila Laughridge said she only bought the book at Rhiannon's insistence and was surprised when the toddler found a brown paper bag full of $100s, $50s, $20s and $10s.
Laughbridge took the money, which dated as far back as the 1960s, to a local bank, where she received only $300 in exchange because most of the bills were in pieces. The rest of the tattered money was sent to the U.S. treasury department.
Continuing noise issues have city barking mad
CLIFTON, N.J. — The city of Clifton is not going to the dogs. At least not if the City Council has anything to do about it.
Later this month, the council is expected to introduce an ordinance setting a limit on how long dogs can bark.
Noisy canes will be defined as those that bark for more than 30 minutes on two consecutive days.
The city already has nuisance and "noise laws that can be used to address annoying and disturbing noises such as constant barking." But officials said those laws are sometimes difficult to enforce
Police have to investigate complaints, and the city Health Department sent 11 cautionary letters last year warning that a summons could be issued if the barking continued.
