Viterbo music students will perform the one-act opera The Bewitched Child (L'enfant et les Sortilèges) by famed 20th century French composer Maurice Ravel at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 5 and 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 6 in the Fine Arts Center LaCroix Black Box Theatre.

The Bewitched Child is the story of a rude child who, after being scolded by his mother, throws a tantrum, destroying his room and harming the animals nearby. He is then surprised to find that the unhappy objects in his room come to life. The furniture and decorations begin to talk; even his homework takes shape as it becomes an old man and a chorus of numbers. They all sing out the pain and misery that the child inflicts on them, leading him to an understanding of compassion.

Diet is a popular topic of conversation around campus. It is widely known that diet practices among the college-age population have not been the best, with financial means, time constraints, stress, and healthy food options as contributing factors. These diet practices have been shown to contribute to health vulnerabilities in this population. Iron deficiency anemia is one example. There are many symptoms of anemia that affect the health, performance, and overall well-being of students. These symptoms include flattened brittle nails, dizziness, fatigue after physical activity, glossitis, tinnitus, headache, frequent minor infections, shortness of breath, taste disturbance, ice cravings, and angular stomatitis (Shoaib et al, 2014).
