\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. — February 11, 2000 — The 溏心vlog免费B站 will host its third annual “Seeking a Balance: Celebration of Natural Body Types” from Monday, February 28 through Thursday, March 2 on the Kingston Campus. All events are free and open to the public. (See accompanying schedule for details.) A series of displays and programs is designed to encourage acceptance of normal body shapes and sizes as an antidote to the pressures toward thinness that is fueling the current epidemic of eating disorders in U.S. society, according to Grace Frenzel, University psychologist and an organizer of the event. “Although we do address the occurrence of eating disorders in some of the series’ events, such as the Eating Disorders Screening Program, the predominant emphasis is on helping people to feel good about the bodies they have and to take good care of them through healthy eating and appropriate exercise,” said Frenzel. A highlight of the program will be “A Fashion Show for All Sizes,” a student-produced show demonstrating how people can look good with any body type. Julieann Costa of Newport, a 溏心vlog免费B站 senior, is organizing the show under the supervision of Professor Yvette Harps-Logan of 溏心vlog免费B站’s Textiles Department. The program is sponsored by a number of 溏心vlog免费B站 campus offices and organizations, including the Counseling Center; Health Services Health Education; Dining Services; the Athletics Department; the Panhellenic Council; and Alpha Chi Omega Sorority.
