Real Beauty Initiative tackles body image

March 27, 2008

Noting the power of a six-inch Barbie doll to breed unhealthy beauty standards in young girls throughout the country, the 20 students involved in Dartmouth's newly formed Real Beauty Initiative aimed to humorously readdress Barbie's body-image standards with their newly purchased 7'2'' "life-sized" Barbie, complete with a 40-inch bust and 22-inch waist. The group, which announced its presence on campus this term with a colorful exhibit in the Collis Center and promotions for its first dinner event, hopes to start campus-wide discussion on healthy and unhealthy concepts of beauty. "Having a negative body image detracts from all areas of life," Kelly Everhart '09, the project's student intern and leader, said.

Lecture ties secondhand smoke to breast cancer

By Michael Coburn | March 7, 2008

Secondhand smoke increases the risk of breast cancer in young women, although many experts still refuse to accept the research, published by the California Environmental Protection Agency in 2006, because no study has conclusively linked direct smoke inhalation to breast cancer, Dr. Stan Glantz, director of the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at the University of California, San Francisco, claimed in his Thursday lecture at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Glantz likened the breast cancer researchers who doggedly oppose the California EPA's findings to "religious fanatics," referring to their unwillingness to accept the findings. The link between smoke inhalation and breast cancer, which Glantz called "the most important scientific development in the last 10 years," follows logically, according to Glantz, because cigarettes contain many known mammary carcinogens, such as benzene. "If you're a breast cell minding your own business and some benzene from smoke goes floating by, it doesn't have a sign on it saying, 'I'm a cigarette, never mind,'" Glantz said.
