Suicide and sudden cardiac arrest are. the most common cause of death. : A few theories attempt to explain why people put them- selves at such risk. Bulimia may represent a response, to the extreme pressure to be. thinner than the body was meant to be. Drastic measures are employed in an attempt to achieve ‘the abnormally low ideal weight pre- sented by the media with ‘its anorectic models. Another theory is that bulemia is a response by women to social pressure to | behave in a quict, compromising “feminine” way. Instead of expressing and fulfilling their needs, they “stuff down”. their "feelings of frustration and resent- ment with food and “get rid” of them by purging.

SUN STAFF PHOTO / Brendan Halper When to cali yourself a senior How old do you have to be to call yourself a senior? If you are . looking for a special. bank’ account you have to be 55. To get a Pharmacare card you have to be past your sixtieth birthday. If you want a regular pension from the Federal Government, or a reduc- tion on you Municipal taxes you have to be 65., But if you want to become .a member of a branch of the Senior Citizens Association you only have to be SO! There are yourself a senior? Perhaps for as simple a reason as it indeed docs have some privileges. Perhaps because when we reach a certain age.we have the right to demand some respect.
