SEE DISORDERS ON pagE 6a
On Halloween night 2007, then-freshman Caitlin Hilton sat alone in her McCollum
Hall dorm room, turned up her CD Songs to Die to, put a handful of anti-depres-
sant and anti-anxiety pills in her mouth and washed the chalky tablets down with a
shot of Everclear grain alcohol.
Hours later, she woke up in Lawrence Memorial Hospital with a foggy memory of an ambulance ride. On
her tongue was the lingering taste of liquid charcoal, which emergency technicians used to fush out the
toxins that Caitlin had hoped would end her life and the depression that plagued it.
Two months later, when Caitlin sought psychiatric treatment at the Menninger Clinic in Houston, she
was startled to learn that she wasnt being admitted for depression, but rather to treat an underlying eating
disorder called EDNOS eating disorders not otherwise specifed.
For Caitlin, restrictive eating was always a way to cope with depression. For others, depression and
anxiety can fow from eating disorders. That was the case with Heidi, a senior and life-long dancer from
Shawnee who asked that her last name be withheld. During high school, Heidi obsessed about counting
calories and working out. Not only did she lose weight, she also lost friends and a sense of happiness.
Even though these women have different stories, their experiences of struggling with both eating and
psychological disorders are strikingly similar and common.
The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that up to 75 percent of people with eating disorders
have additional psychological disorders, such as depression or clinical anxiety.
Regardless of which affiction comes frst,
these disorders can be a recipe for isolation, poor health and
potentially
death.

CITY COmmISSION
BY Chris hong
chong@kansan.com
The Douglas County
Commission voted 2-1 to extend
health insurance benefits to the
domestic partners and dependent
children of county employees.
Sarah Plinksy, assistant county
administrator, presented her report
on financial and legal issues sur-
rounding the proposal during
Wednesdays commission meeting.
Although the report did not pro-
vide the amount of recipients who
would qualify for extended cover-
age, Plinksy estimated that five to
10 employees would switch to the
proposed plan. Given that figure,
the report estimated the extension
would cost $23,694 to $47,387.
According to the report, the county
would also be responsible for up to
$150,000 of coverage.
Jim Flory, chairman of the com-
mission, said he was skeptical that
the county could afford increases
in the budget at a time when it was
already forced to make cuts.
In light of the fiscal situation
were in, he said, I struggle with
the idea of adding more when we
dont even know if were going to
make ends meet right now.
Flory said he was also concerned
about the legality of domestic part-
nerships. Although he recognized
there were personal and moral obli-
gations in these relationships, he
said they lacked the legal obliga-
tions of marriages.
Domestic partnership, rightly or
wrongly, is not a legally recognized
relationship in the state of Kansas,
Flory said.
He added that the health plan
historically has been extended only
to legally binded relationships. He
said if the county decides to move
in the direction of extended ben-
efits, he would suggest waiting until
2012 so the county can accurately
gauge the costs.
The commissioners also listened
to public comments, which repre-
sented both sides of the issue. One
person spoke against the proposal,
arguing it would support an unethi-
cal lifestyle and become a heavy
burden on taxpayers.
Others claimed that extended
coverage would not only promote
equality in Douglas County, but
would also benefit employees
financially. One employee said her
partner of eight years would save
money and receive better benefits
if the extension were approved.
Commissioners Mike Gaughan and
Nancy Thellman echoed the propo-
nents arguments.
This issue is a priority for some,
and for some its a core value,
Thellman said. The core value is
about fundamental fairness to all
people.
Joseph Jarvis, a law student from
Lenexa, also spoke in favor of the
proposal and said he was pleased
the commissioners voted in favor
of it.
Im happy that the commis-
sion has decided to recognize all
relationships in Douglas County as
being equal and treating employees
fairly, he said.
The commission will officially
approve the proposal next week.
Plinksy said her department was
hoping to have open enrollment for
the coverage by May 9.

Doctorate student
studies marriage
kim schutte was a high
school student when charles
and diana married in 1981. she
said the wedding was of little
interest to her.
twenty years later, she has
successfully defended her dis-
sertation on the marriage pat-
terns of the British aristocracy
from the 16th to 20th century.
schutte is a graduate student
and instructor in the humani-
ties and western civilization
and history departments. After
teaching 14 years at missouri
Western state college, she en-
tered the university of kansas
doctoral program in 2006. her
dissertation examines marriage
patterns of the British upper
class as concepts of gender,
rank and nobility transformed
over time.
i was looking for a revolu-
tion in the marital behavior of
aristocratic women and the
self-perception of the nobility,
schutte said. What i found
instead was more than four and
a half centuries of continuity.
According to schutte, British
aristocrats continued to marry
each other. however, schutte
said World War i changed their
marriage patterns.
As it did for much of British
society, World War i changed
the marriage trends of aristo-
cratic women,schutte said,
attributing the changes to aris-
tocratic men going to war and
the expanding role of women.
the war contributed to
changing marriage trends
because of losses of aristo-
cratic men in battle and the
expansion of experiences for
aristocratic women working in
hospitals.
schutte said the rate of aris-
tocrats marrying each other has
dropped signifcantly through-
out the 20th century, a fgure
supported by the upcoming
marriage between prince
William and oft-described com-
monerkate middleton. Also
relevant are the marriages of
prince Andrew to sarah Fergu-
son and prince charles to lady
diana spencer.
on Friday, April 29, schutte
will be awake at 2 a.m. she
wont be on massachusetts
street celebrating; she will be at
home watching a prince marry
a commoner.

Melissa Allen comes from a
long line of University of Missouri
graduates, but when she came to
visit the University of Kansas, she
fell in love with Potter Lake. Allen
decided to leave a tradition of
Tigers to become a Jayhawk. Now,
years later, Allen is using her love
for Potter Lake to help transform
it from one of the dirtiest lakes in
Kansas to the natural landmark it
once was.
In May 2009, Allen, along
with a few other dedicated stu-
dents, presented a proposal to the
Provost assessing the problems of
the lake,- ranging from aesthetic
to environmental Allen said.
We presented that and our
solutions, Allen said, and they
basically said Go ahead with it,
but we have no money.
Allen and the rest of the mem-
bers of the Potter Lake Project
spent the next few years finding
ways to improve the lake with
less funding than they had hoped,
as well as finding a few donors
including the company Design
and Company Management,
which helped with many facets of
the project.
To commemorate both the
100th birthday of Potter Lake and
the work so many put into the res-
toration, the Potter Lake Project
will be hosting a birthday party
picnic on Saturday.
We got all of this stuff done
that we didnt think would hap-
pen so we really wanted a time to
recognize the people who helped
out with it, Allen said. The lake
is much more ecologically sound,
we just want to bring people back
there and recognize it as a green
space on campus.
Allen encourages students and
faculty to come see the beauty
Potter Lake was originally meant
to be, and to bring a lawn chair,
Frisbees or footballs.
While Allen said that there
is still a lot of improvement to
be done, dredging the lake and
installing aerators has helped tre-
mendously.
Potter Lake was once home to
athletic events, including swim-
ming, diving and fishing. However,
since the pollution became such a
problem, those activities no lon-
ger take place. The lake once was
16 feet deep but now averages less
than 3 feet deep.
There is so much concrete on
Jayhalk Blvd, there is obviously
great landscaping but I feel like
Potter Lake, especially with the
Campanile and the walk to the
stadium, is just a really nice space
to be in, Allen said.

Recent studies show that
Americans usual methods for
disposing of unused medicines
pose potential safety and health
hazards. With today being National
Prescription Drug Take Back Day, the
University of Kansas is partnering
with the Drug Enforcement
Administration to give the public
an opportunity to turn in unused
medication for
safe disposal.
S t u d e n t s
can bring their
medications to
Wescoe Beach
from 10 a.m. to
2 p.m. today. It
is a free event
to prevent
prescri pt i ons
abuse and
theft by ridding their homes of
potentially dangerous or unwanted
prescription drugs.
KU Student Health Services
assures that the process is
completely anonymous with no
questions asked.
Usual methods for disposing
of drugs, such as flushing them
down the toilet or throwing them
in the trash, have led to sanitary
problems. Not all of the chemicals
in drugs can be successfully
removed by water treatment plants,
and these chemicals can end up in
local waterways.
There are few, select medicines
that are especially harmful if taken
accidentally by someone other
than the person the medicine
was prescribed for, said Megan
McCusker, a second year pharmacy
student and pharmacy intern at
Watkins Memorial Health Center.
These medicines should not be
thrown in the
trash. Using
programs, such
as the National
Drug Take Back
Initiative is the
best option.
All of the
drugs collected
at the event will
be incinerated
t h r o u g h
environmentally friendly methods
at an EPA-approved incineration
facility.
The event is sponsored by the KU
Academy of Student Pharmacists,
Peer Health Educators, Student
Health Advisory Board, Student
Health Services and the Office of
Public Safety.

It was another case of out with
the old in with the new during last
nights joint Senate meeting as the
former executive Senate staf mem-
bers bid their farewells and best
wishes to the new senators.
Te fnal meeting of the semes-
ter for student Senate took place in
Woodruf Auditorium in the Kan-
sas Union with both the former
and newly elected senators in at-
tendance.
For about two and a half hours,
the night consisted of thanks and
gratitude from most of the former
members of Michael Wade Smith
and Megan Ritters administration
as they refected on their time spent
on staf during the past year. Te
Center for Community Outreach
directors Emily Lamb and Kellen
Bolt were not in attendance.
Amazing was the word most
ofen quoted last night as the for-
mer ofcers attempted to articulate
what they gained from their Senate
experience.
In her fnal ofcer report, Ritter,
a junior from Overland Park, was
unable to hold back her tears, and
at times continue, as she individu-
ally addressed each member of the
executive staf.
When it fnally came time for
the last ofcer report, former stu-
dent body president Smith, a senior
from Goodland, took his turn at the
podium.
I cant say I did it perfectly but I
did my best, Smith said.
On more than one occasion,
Smith had to pause to regain com-
posure and wipe away his tears as he
reminisced of his personal growth
and the friendships that were estab-
lished throughout the course of the
year.
With a fnal Rock Chalk chant,
Smith stepped down as student
body president and Ritter ad-
journed the meeting. As is tradi-
tion, the former staf headed to Te
Wheel, 507 West 14th Street, to add
their names to the ceiling like all the
student leaders had before them.
With the old Senate gone, the
new senators settled into their seats
and into new roles.
Newly-elected student body
president Libby Johnson began her
term by asking her fellow senators
to now turn their focus to the fu-
ture.
Te meeting concluded with the
approval of the executive staf.

Schwarzenegger
to reprise star role
LOS ANGELES The
news Tuesday that Arnold
Schwarzenegger will return to
the Terminatorfranchise pro-
vides a colorful coda to several
story lines.
Schwarzenegger, a person
close to the flm package said,
would play a starring role as the
title character in the science-
fction flm, not a supporting role
in which he passed the baton to
a new hero.
Tuesdays news raises nearly
as many questions as it answers.
The ofshoot Terminator
Salvation,directed by McG, was
roughed up by critics but pock-
eted $371 million worldwide.
It was supposed to be the
start of a new trilogy starring
Sam Worthington. But the return
of Arnold, and the fact that McG
will not have a place on this flm,
means that the new Skynet saga
could pick up the narrative trail
of 2003s Terminator 3: Rise of
the Machines,or start in yet
another new direction. (Ma-
chinesfnished with Nick Stahls
John Connor and Claire Danes
Kate Brewster running from
Schwarzeneggers Terminator,
with all three still alive at movies
end.)
But perhaps the biggest point
the news highlights involves
Schwarzeneggers career direc-
tion. The 63-year-old former
California governor told the Los
Angeles Times recently hes div-
ing back into acting. I can step
very comfortably into the enter-
tainment world and do an action
movie with the same violence
that Ive always done,he said,
predicting hed be on a set by the
end of the year.
It would be nearly 30 years
since he frst incarnated the
Terminator role in the James
Cameron original; there are few
examples of an actor holding a
lead flm role for that long.

Its the end of April, everybody! We
only have, like, two and a half weeks
of school left (and then one week
of HELL), and the weather is being
all wishy-washy like it always is, but
sometimes theres a sun out! And you
can see the shark being put in place to
be jumped on The Office as it tries
to make you cry every week for that
a*sh*le (profanity averted via aster-
isks!) Michael Scotts departure this
week.
Yep, weve reached the end of
another year and a semester. I always
say I am ready for the semester to end,
because classes get old, man unless
theyre History of Silent Film with
Professor Michael Baskett. That class
just had it (starring Clara Bow)! But,
yeah, this semester is so 2000 and late
(right, Fergie?). I am ready to move
onto pretentiously mocking fundamen-
tal Christians in my Understanding
the Bible class next semester.
And I know that class is gonna rock,
yall, because I use ratemyprofessors.
com (props Professor Paul Mirecki
you got a smiley face).
For those tragically not in the know,
ratemyprofessors.com is a website on
which students can post public ratings
and critiques of their past professors.
In the past, the controversial site has
come under fire from professors (what
a coincidence) and others who claim it
is unreliable and irrelevant. You know,
like that second rate, barely trafficked
Wikipedia which is, like, totally
a lie machine and not an interesting
tool that can provide its readers with
zounds of sources.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, professors.
So, ratemyprofessors.com does have
that weird chili pepper thing for hot
professors and it probably has a few
cleverly veiled lies floating around,
but it has never let me down. I choose
to believe that most college students
realize what context clues are and if
the review has some awful spelling and
grammar or it is one negative review
among tons of good reviews, it is prob-
ably not one to take too seriously.
However, if youre one of those hip-
pies purely here for hula hooping and
hashish then those angry, exaggerated
reviews about how a professor totally
follows the Universitys attendance pol-
icy might be the ones to pay attention
to. Its a free country. Be useless and
lazy if you want to be useless and lazy.
And professors, quit sweating over
this website. You have to have some
faith in your students. For instance,
my favorite film professor, Professor
Michael Baskett(FULL CIRCLE) has
gotten a bad rap from University stu-
dents on the website for being hard
FROWNFACE. So, his rating is low.
But if you actually read the reviews,
a lot of the students who complain
about the difficulty of his courses
admit hes an amazing professor with
a wealth of knowledge about film. So I
totally ended up taking his class! If the
reviewers only complaints are basically
OH MY GOD HE TREATS THIS
LIKE ITS A COLLEGE COURSE OR
SOMETHING, then ignore it (unless
youre one of them hulahoopers).
Besides, people, we pay some hard-
core dough for these classes. When
you enroll each semester, you are basi-
cally making an enormous Amazon
purchase. Why not have a review
section? The reviews on ratemypro-
fesesors.com are like reviews on food,
music or film.
Some reviewers are Armond Whites
and some are Roger Eberts you
generally have to use a bit of common
sense to figure out whether a review is
reliable or not.

I never thought a simple Chipotle
burrito could upset me. But oh, it did
just this past Sunday afternoon.
Chipotle, along with other fine din-
ing choices, was closed Sunday. All for
that damn rabbit and his eggs.
Ok. Thats a bit of an exaggeration.
Thats not what Easter is about, but
Im still upset I didnt get my delicious
goodness wrapped in gold-tin foil.
Why must I suffer in my pursuit of
culinary delights because of someone
elses religion? This is America: land of
freedom of religion, land of the free,
home of the fast-food lunch.
It seems that one is only allowed
to have freedom of religion as long
as it coincides with the majority, the
Christian belief. Business shuts down
on religious holidays and not just
national holidays. Something seems
askew there.
I can understand Christmas. It has
turned into a commercial holiday and
even Wal-Mart closes for it. Not much
to argue when the monopoly that is
Wal-Mart decides to celebrate.
Its curious to see what the reaction
would be if businesses such as fast
food restaurants and grocery stores
were owned by Jewish companies.
Would Christians get angry if these
businesses closed on Shavuot, or Yom
Kippur? The look on someones face
cause they couldnt get a Big Mac due
to a non-Christian, non-national holi-
day would be amazing.
Dont get me wrong here. Im not
anti-Christian. I believe you should
follow your faith. However, this is not
a Christian society, or at least its not
supposed to be one. It isnt our recog-
nized religion. We as a society dont
have one.
We live in a democratic and capital-
ist country. We have the right to prac-
tice our own views. However, when
does that hinder others from practic-
ing their own? Its difficult to be open
to religion, especially as an agnostic,
when you have it thrown in your face
by the shutting of a business because
its someone elses holiday.
To me freedom is freedom. Its
pretty simple. And that means getting
my Chipotle burrito when I want it.

I will keep this short to
make my point. Can we
please divert the schools
attention and focus onto
some other more pertinent
subject than Facebook eti-
quette? The article today
(April 25) was basically a list
of five behaviors someone
who is well-adjusted would
probably not do in the first
place.
I have nothing against
Ms. Matney, but there has
got to be something more
interesting or edifying than
Facebook. Between FFA
and opinions, it is too much.
Most articles you all post are
interesting or humorous, but
some, namely social media
opinions or other obvious
social phenomena (e.g., Jersey
Shore commentary), are a
waste of our time, brainpower
and most of all paper.
I would think the environ-
mental clubs would see the
apparent abuse of paper wast-
ed for such drivel. Nothing
personal to those who write
these columns, but really?
Facebook is old news unless
it starts interacting with its
user. Then maybe some trees
should be cut down to cover
that.

EATINgDISoRDERS AND
PSYcHoLogIcAL
DISoRDERS
Merriam-Webster defnes eating
disorders as addictive psychological
disorders that adversely afect the
way a persons mind operates.
Nationwide, an estimated 10
million women and 1 million men
battle anorexia or bulimia, accord-
ing to the National Eating Disorder
Association. Tats more than four
times the population of Kansas.
Tat fgure does not include
people dealing with EDNOS, which
Caitlinwas diagnosedwith. Tis cat-
egory includes binge eating, which
afects one in fve obese people, ac-
cording to the Academy of Eating
Disorders.
More than half of the people di-
agnosed with bulimia are clinically
depressed and anorexics experience
similarly high rates of clinical anxi-
ety. People witheating disorders also
have elevated rates of bipolar disor-
der, obsessive-compulsive disorder
and substance abuse, according to
the National Institute on Mental
Health.
Steven Ilardi, professor of psy-
chology and author of Te Depres-
sion Cure, said people sometimes
use disordered eating habits to ease
their other psychological pains. Be-
causeof this, psychological problems
can appear before eating disorders.
In the case of bulimics, binging
on food and then vomiting it up
releases endorphins. Tat tempo-
rarily numbs the emotional pain of
depression.
If a person is emotionally upset,
the binge-purge cycle is particularly
soothing, Ilardi said.
For anorex-
ics, the ability to
control what they
eat, how much
they eat and when
they eat provides a
sense of comfort
in a life otherwise
out of control.
coNTRoL

Caitlin frst began restricting the
food she ate as a way of coping with
tragedy. She was 13 and her best
friend had just been killed in a car
accident. To avoid thinking about
the loss, Caitlin instead focused on
limiting the amount of food she ate.
I couldnt control the situations
around me, but I could control my
eating, she said.
At frst, restricting calories helped
Caitlin mask her depression but,
it didnt make it disappear. Mean-
while, disordered eating became a
problemof its own.
On some occasions, she was so
depressed that she would forget to
eat for one or two days. Other times,
she made a point of limiting herself
to 650 calories a day, when her body
weight suggested she needed 2,000
calories to be healthy. Tose days,
she ate a snack bag of Doritos and
two strawberry Pop Tarts. In be-
tween eating, she weighed herself
obsessively.
In those gratifying moments on
the scale, it didnt matter that she
wasnt getting along with her mom,
that she was having trouble with a
boyfriend or that she still missed her
friend.
If her weight went down, she was
in control and happy at least at
that moment.
EATINgDISoRDERS:
MoRETHAN
MEETSTHE EYE
In some cases, psychological dis-
orders follow an eating disorder.
Tis was the case with Heidi, a petite
blonde with an ear-to-ear smile that
epitomizes the word bubbly. She
is also a recovering anorexic who
continues to take anti-depressant
medications.
As adancer, Heidi constantlywor-
ried about her weight. She couldnt
help but think that other dancers
had thinner legs or tighter stomachs
when she spent hours each day sur-
rounded by mirrors and leotard-
clad girls.
In eighth grade, she started skip-
ping meals and swiping diet pills
from her mothers medicine cabi-
net.
Te food deprivation increased
during her sophomore year of high
school, when
Heidi went
through a bad
breakup. In-
stead of dwell-
ing on her ex-
boyfriend, she
focused on
losing weight.
E v e r y
school day, she
made a point
of drinking
three large Nalgene bottles of water
so she wouldnt get hungry. As soon
as class let out, she headed to the
gymfor 60 minutes on the elliptical.
Te day ended with dance practice
from5 to 9 p.m.
She kept a meticulous calorie log,
where she would write down every-
thing she ate. At the end of a good
day, whichentailedmeals of half
of anapple or achicken
patty with
the breading wiped of, she would
scribble, Yay! Good job!
Afer months of a monotonously
similar cycle that lef her malnour-
ished and unhappy, she gave into
her familys urging to go to Chil-
drens Mercy Hospital in Kansas
City for outpatient treatment. She
didnt think she had an eating dis-
order, but she knew she wasnt act-
ing like herself. She had withdrawn
fromfriends andwantedto be alone
in her room.
You think that when youre su-
per skinny, youre super happy,
Heidi said. But thats not true.
During her frst meeting, her
counselor held up pictures of two
women and asked Heidi to choose
the one she thought she looked the
most like.
Heidi chose a picture of a woman
who weighed 40 pounds more than
her.
It takes over your brain and your
body, Heidi said.
She was diagnosed with anorexia
and prescribed an anti-depressant
medication. Slowly but surely, she
began spending less time
thinking about food and
more time social-
izing with
friends.
Restlessly, I went down-
stairs. With pride, I avoided
the fridge and resisted the
temptation to grab one of
the carrot sticks I had sliced
the day before. The 15 calo-
ries werent worth it.
Instead, I pulled on my
shoes and went to run two
miles or more.
Just as it often did when
I turned down invitations
to hang out with friends or
made up excuses about not
being hungry, my anxiety
had gotten the best of me
which, I later learned
had really gotten the worst
of me.
At 5 feet 9 inches tall and
about 100 pounds, I was 30
pounds under my healthy
weight range. I knew this
wasnt a good thing. I also
remembered doctors tell-
ing me that because of my
weight, working out would
put my heart at risk.
But, at that pre-dawn
moment, all that mattered
was getting to run more and
eat less. Why should my
weight really matter when
I looked at my skinny legs
and instead saw fat on my thighs?
That was my life just more than one year ago.
Its still hard for me to pinpoint where my turn
around was. It could have been when my momconsid-
ered taking me out of school.
It could have been when my dad looked at my arms,
which were as thin as a broomhandle, and said he was
worried for my life. Even though I couldnt see my true
self in the mirror, I could see in his eyes he was telling the
truth.
But, most likely, it was when I finally began meeting
with a therapist who specialized in eating disorders.
By talking with her, as well as meeting with my nutri-
tionist and doctor, I was able to address the excruciating
sadness I felt at my cousins sudden death the year before.
I was able to recognize my anxiety about gaining weight
and not being as beautiful as my mom. I was able to heal
and I was able to move on.
Thats not to say it was easy. I still have to make deci-
sions about what to eat every single day.
When those feelings of anxiety creep back, I look at
the big picture and realize that life is so much better now
than when I was both skinny and depressed.
Back then, I lost sight of whomI was. Instead of reach-
ing out to my friends and family, I withdrew into myself,
shrinking inward just like my body.
It didnt take long for the depression I felt inside to
show on my face. I vividly remember a time I took the
bus fromthe gymto class and caught a glimpse in the
mirror of a sullen girl with sunken cheeks. It wasnt until
I did a double take that I realized it was my reflection.
Since committing myself to recovery, Ive gained so
much more than that desperately needed weight. In the
past year, I ran three half-marathons. I spent eight weeks
studying in Germany. I even got engaged and learned
how to really love another person.
I wouldnt wish my experiences on anyone else, but I
amgrateful for what I learned. Dealing with both an eat-
ing disorder and depression gave me perspective and it
gave me a cause. Ill do whatever it takes to prevent any-
one else fromgoing down that same path. Writing this
article was just one step in doing that.
It was fve in the morning and the dull pain of
hunger in my grumbling stomach wouldnt let
me sleep. It didnt help that my protruding hip-
bones painfully jutted into my mattress.

I love photographs, I

part of me didnt want
to accept the way I
looked.

Disordered eating: Any atypical eating habits or ten-
dencies.
Eating disorders: A subcategory of disordered eating,
characterized by the most extreme behaviors. These dis-
orders are recognized as mental illnesses that require
professional help.

McCoy used to keep a food diary with
everything she ate. She said, While I was
dealing with my eating disorder, I obsessively
wrote down all my meals. Occasionally, I feel
a tendency to do this, but I knowits a trigger
for me.
Defning the Terms
Anorexia nervosa
Characterized by self-starva-
tion and extreme weight loss.
Bulimia nervosa
Characterized by cycles of
binging and compensatory
behaviors designed to undo
or compensate for the effects
of binge eating.
Eating disorders not other-
wise specifed (EDNos):
symptoms dont meet the cri-
teria for anorexia or bulimia
yet display severe eating dis-
ordered symptoms.
Binge eating disorder
Characterized by recurrent
binge eating without the
regular use of compensatory
measures.
Depression: Depression is an illness that involves both
mind and body. Depression can lead to a variety of emo-
tional and physical problems. This may make it diffcult
to perform normal day-to-day activities, and depression
may make it seem as if life isnt worth living.
Bipolar disorder: sometimes called manic-depressive
disorder, this causes mood swings that range from the
lows of depression to the highs of mania. Depression may
result in feelings of sadness or hopelessness and loss of
interest or pleasure in most activities. Mania may result
in feelings of euphoria and energy.
Generalized anxiety disorder: A persistent form of anxiety
that interferes with daily activities such as work, school
or sleep. This can disrupt relationships and enjoyment
of life, and over time it can lead to health concerns and
other problems.
Defnitions are based on those provided by the Fami-
lies Empowered And Supporting Treatment of Eating Dis-
orders organization (F.E.A.S.T.) and the Mayo Clinic.

Te medicine was just a little
push to get going, Heidi said.
Six years later, Heidi is at a healthy
weight and ina happy place. Still, she
admits that neither the therapy nor
the medicine were able to completely
wipe obsessive eating thoughts from
her mind.
Shes just learned howto stop neg-
ativity before it goes too far.
Whenever I get the tendency to
go back there, I think, No, Heidi
said.
She has also de-
veloped strategies
for dealing with
stress. Rather than
obsessively work-
ing out, she listens
to music to calm
down. Instead of
getting caught
up in a chaotic
day and winding
up with a good,
empty feeling in
her stomach, she carries granola bars
in her backpack so shell have some-
thing to eat on-the-go.
Where she once fxated on count-
ing unwanted calories, she now ap-
preciates healthy food that fuels her
body.
Ive come so far to have a healthy
relationship with food, Heidi said.
For her, that means fnding bal-
ance.
Teres nothing wrong with be-
ing healthy. Just dont go past that
line.
Te problem is defning where
that line is.
UNREALISTIc
EXPEcTATIoNS
Societys expectations play sig-
nifcant roles in why women with
eating disorders drastically outnum-
ber men. According to one study by
Ohio State University, the majority
of college men feel pressure to be
muscular. In contrast, women think
they should be thin.
Womens magazines contain 10
times more advertisements for di-
eting and weight-loss articles than
mens magazines, according to the
Media Awareness Network, a Cana-
dian non-proft program.
Another study by the Just Tink
Foundation, which promotes critical
consumption of media, showed that
the average female model weighed
just three-quarters of what an aver-
age woman weighed. Yet these mod-
els are ofen portrayed as ideal im-
ages of howwomen should look.
As a dietician at Watkins Memo-
rial Health Center, Ann Chapman
meets with students about their nu-
tritional habits.
By the time girls fnish high
school, they are already indoctrinat-
ed with howto look, she said.
With the abundance of skewed
media messages, Chapman said it
was no surprise that many young
women had warped body images.
In many cases, disordered eating
tendencies lie dormant throughout
high school, when girls eat healthy
meals provided by parents, play
competitive sports and live in a gen-
erally calmand supportive home en-
vironment.
Ofen, its not until a stressful or
traumatic event occurs that disor-
dered eating behavior manifests.
For Caitlin, it was when her friend
died. For Heidi, it was a devastating
breakup. For others, its the move
fromhome to college.
Te transition from high school
to college is always stressful, even if
youre excited, Chapman said.
According to the National Insti-
tute of Mental Health, the average
onset age of anorexia is 17 and
for bulimia its 18 to 20 the
very age of many college
women.
Chapman said part
of this might stem
from students fear-
ing weight gain
so much that
they move in
the oppo-
site direc-
tion.
Girls ofen go into college
already afraid to gain weight, Chap-
man said.
SLIPPERY SLoPE
An additional one-third of col-
lege women dont meet the criteria
for anorexia or bulimia, but display
disordered eating habits such as
binging, taking laxatives or using
diet pills.
Tese afictions arent limited
to thin girls.
One study in
the Journal
of Obesity
Related Men-
tal Disorders
found that
ove r we i g ht
girls are more
likely to devel-
op disordered
eating tenden-
cies during
their young
adult years.
Even seemingly normal behaviors
can be the beginning of a slippery
slope.
A bad breakup? Eat a carton of
Ben and Jerrys ice cream.
Not motivated to get out of bed?
Skip breakfast.
Worried about gaining weight?
Count and cut calories.
Taken together, these behaviors
can evolve into legitimate eating dis-
orders. And, when combined with
other psychological disorders such
as depression, bipolar disorder and
generalized anxiety disorder, eating
disorders can be even more difcult
to overcome.
Although there are exceptions
to every rule, the longer people are
engaged in unhealthy practices, the
longer the recovery, Chapman said.
If eating disorders are ultimately
lef untreated, they can carry grave
physical and psychological conse-
quences.
Anorexia has the highest mortali-
ty rate of any mental health disorder.
One in 10 anorexics die at a young
age from suicide, heart failure or
other medical complications related
to lowweight.
Bulimics are also at risk for per-
manent organ problems, such as
esophageal tears or gastrointestinal
damage. Te suicide rate among
anorexics and bulimics is 23 times
higher thanthat of the general popu-
lation, according to one study in the
British Journal of Psychiatry.
People dont realize that eating
disorders have very painful grips on
these lives that can ultimately be life-
threatening, Ilardi, the psychology
professor, said.
Te problem for many with eat-
ing disorders is learning how to let
themgo.
TWo-FoLDTHERAPY
Chapman said it was important
for treatment to address all issues
that feed into an eating disorder.
In addition to nutrition education,
therapy should help patients come
to grips with the underlying reasons
why they feel compelled to restrict,
binge or purge.
Watkins Memorial Health Center
has a policy of automatically refer-
ring any student who seeks treat-
ment for an eating disorder to a doc-
tor, nutritionist and counselor.
Chapman said this multifaceted
treatment was vital in helping pa-
tients recover.
If theyve just come to see me to
get the eating disorder under con-
trol, its like putting a band aid on
a problem, Chapman said. Next
time there is a major stressor, theyll
revert back.
Cognitive Behavioral Terapy
(CBT), or talking therapy, has
proven successful among people
with eating disorders.
A 2003 study that tracked the re-
coveries of anorexic patients showed
that fewer than one-quarter of the
patients who received CBT and nu-
tritional counseling had relapsed to
clinical anorexia. In contrast, more
than half of the patients who met
only with nutritionists had reverted
to anorexic behavior.
Even with therapy, one of the big-
gest obstacles to overcome is the co-
dependency that many people have
with their eating disorders.
Chapman said that she has seen
KU patients who had love afairs
with their eating disorders. Tese
people were so attached to their
behaviors and mindsets that they
struggled to emotionally commit to
therapy even when their lives were
at stake.
In a fewcases, Chapman quit pro-
viding nutritional advice to patients
who were unwilling to confront un-
derlying psychological issues. Other-
wise, she said meeting with her was
just giving theman excuse to justify
their problem.
Tey might say, Well, Imwork-
ing on it, she said. But this can go
on for years if they feel validated for
it.
cHANgINgVIEWS oN
HEALTHFULNESS
Much of that validation goes back
to the pressure that society puts on
women and that women put on
themselves.
College can be a particularly dif-
fcult time, as many women come in
fearing the infamous Freshman 15
the pounds that they put on when
they replace nutritional meals from
home with excessive alcohol and fast
food.
For some, avoiding this issue is a
simple equation: Eat less to weigh
less. Chapman said this becomes
a problem when people dont rec-
ognize that there is more to overall
health than food.
I certainly see lots of students
who obsess about food, but not real-
ly about their overall health, Chap-
man said.
On the other hand, Chapman said
there are many students who dont
worry about being healthy at all. Ul-
timately, neither obsessing about nor
neglecting nutrition is healthy, espe-
cially when negative habits continue
throughout life, she said.
If you live in an apartment and
have a terrible diet, you arent likely
to eat much better afer you gradu-
ate and get a job, Chapman said.
Establishing healthy eating and
activity patterns in college is really
important.
Chapman also stressed that part
of fnding balance was growing as an

Many students are very egocen-
tric and constantly worried about
their bodies when they could be de-
voting this energy to their church, a
class they have a passion for, a com-
munity shelter inneed or to a friend-
ship, Chapman said.
ALIFETIME
oF REcoVERY
Even afer committing to treat-
ment, the road to recovery can be
challenging. It requires changing
how someone associates with food
as well as learning how to deal with
emotions in a positive way.
For Caitlin, this hasnt always been
easy. Afer her stay at the Menninger
Clinic, Caitlin continued to struggle
with depression and was eventu-
ally diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
Along with the mental highs and
lows, Caitlin also dealt with bouts of
disordered eating.
She is learning to recognize im-
pulses to restrict her eating before
they go too far. She likes going out
with friends. She knows her dog,
Giseppi, a small Yorkie who loves to
snuggle, will be there to comfort her
when shes feeling sad.
Still, she admits to having a per-
son-with-depression mentality. Tis
reared its head in March, when she
was admitted to the School of Social
Welfare.
At frst, she was thrilled. Ten,
negative thoughts set in as she told
herself, Youll just screwthis up like
everything else.
Te diference is that, unlike three
years ago when she felt hopeless
about life, this time shes determined
to try.
Im fnally getting to the point
where I see improvement, she said.
Its trial and error.

CLEVELAND Kansas Citys
fast start has faded just as quickly.
The Royals are right back where
they started the season at .500.
Their fifth straight loss, 7-2 to
the Cleveland Indians left them at
12-12, a disappointing drop for a
young team that opened 10-4 and
hopes to post its first winning sea-
son since 2003 and only its second
since moving to the AL Central 18
years ago.
You dont want to get to 12-12
the way we did, manager Ned Yost
said after the clubs eighth loss in
10 games. Were going through a
tough stretch and we just have to
grind our way through it.
Orlando Cabreras three-run
double in a five-run first inning
off Jeff Francis (0-3) helped the
division-leading Indians to their
ninth straight home win. It was
all the support Josh Tomlin (4-0)
needed.
Cleveland is pitching very well,
said Alex Gordon, who went 0-for-
3 to snap his 19-game hitting streak
for Kansas City.
The Royals have allowed nearly
eight runs a game during their slide
and have been outscored 38-20
during the streak. It all started with
an 11-6 loss at Texas.
We need to settle the pitching
down, Yost said. It just wasnt
Jeff s night. He was battling it right
from the start and a lot of their hits
were just finding the right holes.
Francis made no excuses after
yielding six singles and Cabreras
double in a 39-pitch first inning.
I left some balls up and they hit
them, the left-hander said. The
odd time I made a pitch, they hit
those, too. It was not just bad luck.
I feel I can execute better.
Every player in Clevelands start-
ing lineup got at least one hit as the
Indians continued their early sea-
son trend of getting ahead quickly.

The Jayhawk mens golf team
placed ninth in the Big 12
Championship this week at Prairie
Dunes golf course in Hutchinson.
Kansas entered the final round
in seventh place, but dropped to
ninth in the final round of play by
carding a total team score of 317.
Kansas had been doing well in the
previous three rounds, carding a
290, 303, and 293 respectively.
However, the Jayhawks had to
overcome a tough obstacle along
their way. Sophomore Dan Waite
had to withdraw due to an injury,
leaving the team with only four
players. Even though the team was
shorthanded, coach Kit Grove was
still proud of how his team did.
We were picked 11th going
into the week, so finishing ninth
was higher than was expected,
Grove said in a release.
Four on five today was very
difficult with guys knowing they
didnt have a backup.
Sophomore Chris Gilbert was
a huge help for the Jayhawks. He
placed 14th individually at the
tournament with a total four-
round score of 292 strokes. He
carded the teams best scores for
two rounds by shooting a 69 in the
first round and a 75 in the second.
Gilbert led the team in scoring
average this season and earned his
third-straight top 15 finish this
season.
All four of the Jayhawks com-
peting golfers placed in the top
50. Junior Doug
Quinones shot
a final-round
score of 79. He
ended the tour-
nament with a
collective score
of 296, and
tied for 22nd
place overall.
S o p h o mo r e
Alex Gutesha placed 35th over-
all with a four-round collective
score of 301. Senior Nate Barbee
recorded a total score of 307 and
placed 47th.
Oklahoma State took the title
with a 13-stroke victory over
Texas A&M. No team shot under
par in the final round. The top
nine places were separated by 60
strokes altogether. Six of the 12
teams recorded team scores of
300 or above for the final round.
Even though many teams
struggled on the
last day of com-
petition, Grove
knew his players
could have done
better.
Unfortunately
we gave a few
strokes away on
the greens at the
end of the round,
he said. They stayed after it as
long as they could. At the end, it
is a golf course that tends to get
the upper hand anyway.

ame 7 tends to be the most nerve-
racking contest for players and
fans. Tuesday nights hockey game
between the Chicago Blackhawks and the
Vancouver Canucks didnt go the way I
wanted it to, but the fact that there was
a Game 7 was good enough for me. The
Blackhawks fought till the end and lost in
overtime.
Last week I thought the Blackhawks,
down three games to zero, were on the
brink of elimination. I said that the season
was over and that I would focus more of my
attention on the Bulls, who closed out the
series against the Pacers on Tuesday four
games to one. That didnt happen. I cheered
for the Blackhawks more.
I watched Game 4 at my house here in
Kansas. I saw the Blackhawks come alive
for the first time in this series, netting seven
goals.
To the chagrin of my girlfriend, who
is now getting into hockey, I listened to
Game 5 on WGN Radio as I drove from
Lawrence to Champaign, Ill., to pick up my
brother and go back home. My girlfriend
didnt want to listen because she didnt
understand the game. After one period, the
game was 3-0 and I told her I would turn on
music after the Blackhawks next goal. Less
than two minutes into the second period,
the Hawks netted another one. I couldnt
believe what was going on. Chicago was in
Vancouver giving the Canucks the whop-
ping they deserved.
She fell asleep and I turned the game back
on. Just before getting into Champaign, the
game finished and I could breathe a sigh
of relief.
Game 6 was on Sunday, the day I was
driving back from Chicago. Its usually
an eight-hour drive that I timed almost
perfectly. I left at 11 a.m. and should have
made it back at 6:30 p.m., just in time for
the drop of the puck. But because of a gas
stop just outside of Kansas City, Mo., I
missed the first 15 minutes of the game.
I thought the season was going to be
over. I wasnt confident. I thought the luck
had run out. But the game went into over-
time and Ben Smith, a rookie who was still
playing for Boston College just a few weeks
ago, gave the Blackhawks new life.
Game 7: one final game that would
send one team to the next round and send
another home. I just wanted to watch at
home, but my girlfriend wanted to watch it
at bar. Remember this is the girl who didnt
understand hockey, but ended up liking
the game more than soccer. Shes starting

I was calm, but nervous at the same time.
Chicago was down the entire game until
1:56 was left and Jonathan Toews gave the
Hawks momentum. I thought they had the
Canucks on the ropes, but for the first time
in three years, Vancouver defeated Chicago
in a playoff series.

PHOENIX Philadelphia had
the pitching, not the hitting in the
opener. Second game, they had hit-
ting, no pitching.
Facing their first sweep in the des-
ert in nearly four years, the Phillies
got the hitting and the pitching to
inch closer toward their winningest
opening month ever.
Cole Hamels pitched seven solid
innings after being padded to an
early lead and the Phillies kept
swinging on their way to an 8-4 win
over the Arizona Diamondbacks on
Wednesday.
Philadelphia didnt do it in the
opener, shut out to spoil Cliff Lees
solid start. The Phillies banged out
five runs the second game, but still
lost because Roy Oswalt wasnt quite
right.
In the series finale, Jimmy Rollins
keyed a big first inning with an RBI
double and Ben Francisco knocked
in two more with another double.
Rollins later hit a two-run homer,
and Shane Victorino and Ryan
Howard also hit solo shots.
Placido Polanco continued his
torrid start to the season, getting
four of Philadelphias 12 hits and
scoring three runs to extend his hit-
ting streak to eight games.
That was more than enough
for Hamels (3-1), who pitched the
Phillies to their 16th win in April,
one short of the team record set in
1993.
Hamels and the hard-hit-
ting Phillies never gave the
Diamondbacks much of a chance
at the sweep.
Philadelphia roughed up start-
er Joe Saunders (0-3) early and
tagged Arizonas bullpen, provid-
ing enough cushion to absorb Chris
Youngs two-run homer in the sixth
inning off Hamels and solo shot off
Antonio Bastardo in the eighth that
cut Philadelphias lead to 7-4.
Philadelphia came into the series
on a five-game winning streak and
looked to extend it with Lee and
Oswalt lined up to face the strug-
gling Diamondbacks.
Those two couldnt get it done,
leaving it up to Hamels to avoid the
sweep.
The left-hander wasnt quite as
dominant as his shutout against
the Mets on Friday, but was good
enough against the Diamondbacks.
Hamels gave up an RBI double to
Melvin Mora after a leadoff walk in
the second inning, then retired the
next 10 batters before pinch hitter
Juan Miranda led off the sixth with
a triple. Young hit the next pitch out
to left for a two-run homer, cutting
Philadelphias lead to 6-3.
Hamels came back out to finish
off the seventh after allowing three
runs on four hits, picking up the win
Philadelphia hoped to get from Lee
and Oswalt.
The Diamondbacks won the
series first two games behind solid
outings from Ian Kennedy and
Daniel Hudson, and were hoping
for another from Saunders, who
allowed a run on two hits in six
innings of a no-decision against the
Mets on Friday.
They didnt get it.
Hit hard almost from his first
pitch, Saunders gave up three straight
hits to open the game and three
runs in the inning, on a run-scoring
double by Rollins and Franciscos
two-run, ground-rule double.
Victorino hit a two-out solo
homer in the second and Rollins
lifted his first homer to left off
Saunders in the fifth, a two-run shot
that put the Phillies up 6-1.
Saunders lasted 5 2-3 innings,
giving up six runs on 10 hits.

The softball teams offense
returned to its powerful and effec-
tive playing style in Wednesday
evenings doubleheader against
Wichita State, leaving with two
victories, 11-3 in six innings and
6-3 in the second game. The
non-conference evening pro-
vided ample opportunity for the
Jayhawks to keep their NCAA
Regional hopes alive and the
strong offensive play was evi-
dence of their will to fight for
their regional bid.
The softball team broke the
single season home run record of
54 home runs held by the 2005
team. The 5 home runs scored
during the doubleheader brought
the season total to 59. Junior out-
fielder Liz Kocon hammered a
3-run homer out of the park in
the third inning after hitting the
record-breaking home run in the
second inning of game one.
It wasnt just me. It was every-
body, Kocon said. We have just
been hitting the ball really well
this year.
Sophomore infielder Mariah
Montgomery also tallied two
home runs in game one and
junior infielder Marissa Ingle hit
a home run in the top of the sixth
inning of the first game. Ingle also
had an RBI double added to her
record in the fourth inning of the
first game, setting the score at 8-1
in Kansas favor.
The Jayhawk defense kept the
Shocker batters out of scoring
position. In the bottom of the
fifth, the Jayhawks were looking
for their final two outs when a hit
gave them an out by a catch. The
final out came from a chase down
between third base and home
plate. Senior catcher Brittany Hile
cornered the runner near third
base and made a quick toss to
Ingle, who tagged out the runner.
Senior Allie Clark pitched the
entirety of the first contest. She
allowed 6 hits and 3 runs, and
struck out three batters.
In game two, the Jayhawks
got off to a slow start, allowing
the Shockers to score three runs
through the first three innings. In
the bottom of the third, after two
allowed runs, the coaching staff
changed from freshman pitcher
Kristin Martinez in the circle to
sophomore Alex Jones.
I think Alex is just a bull dog,
coach Megan Smith said. When
she is out there you are confident
that she is going to go right at the
hitter.
Jones gave the offense a chance
to score six runs through the
fourth, fifth and sixth innings.
The fifth inning was the most
productive for the Jayhawks with
four scored runs. Three base hits
in a row combined with a string
of walks and a hit from Ingle
resulted in the four runs.
The defensive strength con-
tinued in the second game with
multiple double plays, including
one to end the game. The bat-
ter hit the ball to Montgomery,
who snapped the ball to a wait-
ing freshman infielder Ashley
Newman at second base for an
out. Newman then threw down to
freshman infielder Laura Vickers
at first for the double play and the
end of the double header.
We work really hard at prac-
tice, Montgomery said. Coach
just hammers fundamentals and
working really hard and it is really
nice to see us all come together.

Focus on
the players,
not on the
scoreboard
Commentary
football flip-flop
W
ith off-season prac-
tices winding down
and the annual
spring game set for Saturday
afternoon, fans will get a unique
opportunity to see exactly what
the Kansas football team has
been working on since last
Novembers season finale against
Missouri.
A lot has changed in five
months. Many members of the
2011 recruiting class arrived on
campus in January to participate
in spring drills. Prominent play-
ers like Kale Pick and Bradley
McDougald have settled in
at new positions. Pick transi-
tioned from quarterback to wide
receiver and
McDougald is
now a safety,
after beginng
last season
as a wide
receiver.
Perhaps
most impor-
tantly, the
players and
coaches now
have a full
year of expe-
rience with
coach Turner
Gills system.
The transi-
tion from
Mangino to
Gill seemed
rocky at best,
and the results
oftentimes
showed that
on the field
last fall. Fans
are eager to
get that taste
out of their mouths this Saturday
at 1 p.m. However, that probably
wont be the case. Spring games
are an interesting bunch. They
cant be judged the way normal
games are judged, for obvious
reasons.
Take this for example: If Jordan
Webb comes out and throws for
four touchdowns, was he play-
ing great or was the defense just
plain bad? If Keeston Terry gets
a couple of interceptions, was he
playing great or were the quarter-
backs underperforming?
Its a tough question, and one
that wont be answered by look-
ing at the scoreboard at the end
of the scrimmage. However, there
are ways to gauge how the play-
ers are doing. Are Jordan Webb
and Quinn Mecham hitting
their receivers in stride? Are the
running backs seeing the holes
created by the offensive line and
getting through them quickly?
Also, check to see if both teams
are getting plays off on time, or
actually getting the play into the
huddle on time. The Jayhawks
struggled in both areas at differ-
ent points in 2010.
Those are the types of things
fans need to look for on Saturday:
individual nuances that are cru-
cial to winning football games.
Everything else will be hard to
decipher until McNeese State
comes to Lawrence on Sept. 3.

Pick
McDougald
Gill
By kory carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
He turned down Arkansas and
the SEC out of high school, instead
choosing the crimson and blue
and Mark Manginos pass-happy
attack at Kansas. He redshirted in
2008 and backed up Todd Reesing
in 2009, when he was placed as
Reesings No.2.
Then things changed for Kale
Pick. His head coach, Mark
Mangino, resigned following the
2009 season and Picks future was
suddenly up in the air. After a
quarterback battle last spring,
head coach Turner Gill made
the redshirt sophomore from
Dodge City his guy. Pick had
accomplished his goal of being
the starting quarterback at the
University of Kansas, albeit after
a far different journey than he
probably imagined.
The story was complete. And
then a new coach brought new
perspectives which inevitably
changed Picks Kansas football
career forever.
Pick barely lasted three quarters
in the 6-3 opening week loss
to North Dakota State. He was
relieved by freshman Jordan Webb
and didnt start another game all
season. Relegated to the end of
the bench, nobody was really sure
what the future held for Pick.
His attempt to be the next Todd
Reesing fell short, so he took the
Kerry Meier route. Meier now
a receiver for the Atlanta Falcons
lost the quarterback battle to
Reesing in 2007 and switched
to wide receiver shortly after,
eventually becoming the schools
all-time receptions leader. The
comparisons between Pick and
Meier are common.
I actually kind of like it, Pick
said of the comparisons. It makes
me more competitive. Not with the
receivers out here, but knowing
what hes done and trying to be as
good as him and hopefully be as
successful as he is.
It wasnt a seamless transition
to receiver, though. Pick admitted
he wasnt in love with the idea at
first. Coach Gill gave him a few
days to think about it, and Pick
accepted the challenge. His initial
skepticism about the switch ended
some time in the off-season while
working with quarterbacks Jordan
Webb and Quinn Mecham. The
quarterbacks would throw it his
way and Pick would make plays.
Things seemed to click.
In the winter season me and
Jordan and Quinn had a lot of
work, he said. A lot of timing
with routes and stuff, so I think the
hard work and my athletic ability
are transferring to receiver.
Kerry Meier made a living
at picking up tough third down
conversions. He could find the
hole in the defense and park there,
seemingly knowing what the
quarterback was thinking at all
times. Pick isnt sure what his role
will be as receiver. Hes flexible,
though.
I dont like put a stamp on my
style of play right now, he said.
If we need a possession receiver
on third down Id like to be that
guy to go to. If we need a big play
to happen in a game to get us out
of a slump or something, Id like to
be that guy too.
