It's difficult to believe that a date, a friend, or your boyfriend would be a rapist. Being forced to have sex with someone you know is still rape and it's still against the law. On college campuses, the majority of rapes aren't by strange men jumping from a bush in the middle of the night. "In most cases, the victim knows the attacker. A lot goes unreported," said Sandra Riese, director of student health. "Many victims have remained in silence." "I know there is a problem on campus," said Marlene Schlecht, a campus police officer who has special training in assisting rape victims. "Sexual assault is the most unreported crime and least understood." Schlecht has been providing sexual assault prevention programs for the campus since 1982. "Nearly 25% of woman that go to college are victims of date rape. College woman report less than the public does in general," said Riese. "The victim feels it's her fault. She also feels uncomfortable about facing the attacker on campus, as well as everyone knowing about her being a rape victim." ''The female blames herself; they don't understand it's rape. Some way or another they believe they caused it to occur by the way they dress or had a little to drink," said Susan Bums, coordinator of UW-Parkside's Women's Center. "Neither parties understand, but it doesn't get reported because the female doesn't report it. He thinks it's right" "We don't have very good figures. People just don't feel comfortable reporting it We do have date rapes on campus, no different frOID other campuses. Lack of reported cases does not mean we don't have a problem," said Riese. It is important for the rape victim to tell someone. If you don't want to report to the police, tell a friend, or a counselor. "The rape victims should confide in someone. Talk to a counselor or come to Student "Sexual assault is the most unreported crime and least understood." - Marlene Schlecht Health Services. It will stricUy be confidential," said Riese. In Kenosha, St. Catherine's Hospital has a Sexual Assault Treatment Center that can help victims. In Racine, St. Mary's Medical Center provides services for sexual assault victims. They both provide total confidentiality. The following are ways people can protect themselves against the possibility of sexual assault o Awareness. Realizingthat one could be a victim is the first step in self-protection. . o Self Defense. Leammg self-defense techniques is one of the best things one can do for protection. Self-defense will increase confidence and decrease vulnerability. o Assertion training. Victims are often "tested" by their assailant prior to being physically auacked. Assertion training can help you identify your rights as a person and teach you how todeal withcoercive behavior. o Communicate limits clcarly. Speak up.

The most commonly discussed one was the ad showing a sketched image of a woman's breasts. Although the Ranger knew that someone -would most likely take offense to the advertisement, we had no idea that the response would be so great. The Ranger staff reviewed the ad upon receipt anddecided that the monetary rewards of running the ad outweighed the possible consequences. Some feel this was a judgement error, and we have since made arrangements toreceivealtemativeadvertisements from thecompany inquestion. The ads were placed by the Smartfood Popcom Company and submitted· to the Ranger by the CASS Communications Company. For those who do noeknow, advertisements are paid spots that reflect the opinions of the advertiser. They do not represent the opinions of the Ranger. CASS Communications is one of our largest advertising accounts, and it would be senseless for us to discontinue working with them because of a questionable ad. It is important to realize however that steps have been taken to see that CASS does not send the Ranger these types of ads in the future. If you have anycomments orconcemsabout the Smartfood ad, please contact CASS Communications, Inc., 1800 Sherman Avenue, Evanston, Ill., 60201-7315, Attention: Betsy Lazar. The phone number is 1-708- 47fi-8800. We realize that it is impossible to please everyone, and we are certainly not in favor of censorship. However, we have always, and will conlinue to strive to remain impartial in all matters of race and gender. "RELAX, MOMMY.

I'm tired of watching us bring each other down while the other races unify and succeed.l'mtiredofusjustsettling for Burger King, Kenwcky Fried Chicken, McDonald's employment, and welfare income. My personal opinion of those jobs is nothing but organized slavery. I want to see future doctors, lawyers, judges, engineers. governors. and scientists. I want our children of tomorrow to be able to go to school and say, "Mama is a lawyer," or "My daddy is the mayor of the city we live in." Don't get me wrong. We are getting somewhere in this country, but we could get a little bit further a little bit quicker. But we need people to say to themselves, "I'm going to do it." That'. when the motivation sets in. When we accomplish these two things, that's when we can appreciate ourselves and receive appreciation from other people. I know we always hear, . "Go back where you came from if you don't like where you are." So the next time someone teUs you to go back where you came from, make sure you tell them you didn't ask to be here. Make sure you tell them you were captured and terrorized. TeU them you've taken the hassle tong enough, and it's time for a change. See, they don't understand that we've lived here since our captivation, and we've multiplied. Our stakes are here, are, family is here, and our roots are here as well as in Africa. We can't just up and leave; that would be a sign offear and irresponsibility. I want my people to realize that it's time for a change and time for unity. The quicker we realize it, the better we will be. We need to uprise. Chris R. Toliver Stranger's Mandela story sparks controversy You need your consciousness say this stuff, think of us. raised.

The fact that you wrote what you did in the March 29,1990, edition about Nelson Mandela is a sure indicator of the level of racism still embedded in our local culture. Nelson Mandela is a hero to oppressed people allover the world. When you satirize aheroyou wound all of us who revere her or him, and you make us trivial in the process.
