Sally, a 35-year-old executive sec retary from Sugarland, says she is terrified of fat and wrinkles. “I have had three different types of cosmetic surgeries, am on a never- ending diet and exercise religously,” Sally says. “It is a problem with me, but not to the point where I have damaged my health. Actually, I have improved it.” Sally says she has had a nose job, face lift and suction lipectomy. But, Sally says she is still not satisfied and would like to increase her breast size by three inches. “My analyst said the reason I can not find someone to settle down with is because I’m so obsessed with my self,” she says. “I guess he is right, but I just want to look perfect.” The ASPRS reports that with the recent increase in people under going cosmetic surgery, the number of men having the procedures also has increased. According to ASPRS information, a woman is used to having cosmetic surgery. But a man has trouble deal ing with the fact he is concerned with the way he looks and tends to question his masculinity. Opal Vinviola, a cosmetlogist for That Place II in College Station, says, “We are all vain and want to look our best to our peers. Even men.” She says men are most afraid of hair loss, which is usually related to aging. Vinviola makes wigs and hair pieces for both men and women, and she says the biggest concern is that it looks natural. “If we can look our best it can make a lot of difference in the way we project ourselves, and that may affect our relationships, careers and general well-being,” she says. Vinviola says her male customers come to her for permanents, hair lightening and manicures. “In metro-areas men are even starting to wear make-up,” she says. One man participating in this new trend of men improving on what na ture gave them is George, a 45-year- old petroleum engineer for a major oil company in Houston. “I have always been athletically in clined and was always considered very attractive,” he stiys. “But I found myself divorced, fat and gain ing wrinkles fast at age 35, so I did something about it.” George, another exercise fanatic, is in search of that college football player body, has had a face lift and hair implants. He, like Sally, is still not satisfied. “My reasons were not all due to my vanity,” he explains. “I compete in a business world of hot-shot young executives, and I want to keep up with them in every way.” In Kinross-Wright’s opinion, American society is youth- and ap pearance-oriented. He said some people exercise themselves to the point of exhaustion not only once a day, but sometimes two or three times a day.

Kinross-Wright says he already sees the purpose of exercise being abused and a tendency for society to produce exercise fanatics. Shari Lewis, manager of Figure World in Bryan, disagrees with Kin ross-Wright. She says she thinks the fitness craze is changing, and tk people are more concerned *si now they feel rather than howib look. “Of course, the quest forthatpc feet txxly is a hard road to travel# that is why I see the trend goinp ward simply doing what is necesa to feel better rather than look if ter," Lewis says.

Associated Press DALLAS — Determined to fight an appeals court decision that labels them criminals, more than 1,000 ho mosexuals staged a candlelight vigil and rally on the steps of City Hall Monday. “I have been labeled a criminal and my privacy invaded,” Dallas Gay Alliance president Bill Nelson stormed from the makeshift stage. “Don’t let anybody tell you you are a criminal.” The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Ap peals in New Orleans reinstated Texas’ sodomy law last Monday, overriding its own three-judge ap pellate panel and a Dallas federal judge who said the law is unconstitu tional. The judges said the law is consti tutional “in view of the strong objec tion to homosexual conduct, which has prevailed in western culture for the past seven centuries . ...” But the Rev. Don Eastman, pastor of the Metropolitan Community Church. told the crowd Monday night that “there comes a time when we have to say, ‘Tradition is wrong — let’s change tradition.’ ” The 5th Circuit panel also said the law, which among other things pro hibits sexual intercourse between two people of the same sex, does not deprive homosexuals of equal pro tection under the Fourteenth Amendment. The 9-7 vote delighted Dallas Doctors Against AIDS, which had kept the six-year legal battle raging. But it infuriated gay rights and civil- rights advocates such as the Tch Human Rights Foundation. Neil Cogan, a constitutional In professor at Southern Methods University, said the appeals coiut decision means "the Texas Legi lature is free to penalize whoever deems to be amoral." He lidded that the decision's % plications are very dangerous, to must gather together to make sun it’s changed.” TM STUDENT LOANS HELP MAKE YOUR COLLEGE EDUCATION POSSIBLE To qualify you must: • Be enrolled at least half-time • Maintain good academic standing You may borrow up to $2,500 per school year as an undergraduate, with a maximum of $12,500 for all years of undergraduate study.
