The issue of birth control and abor- tion is quite controversial in these countries. There are many unwanted pregnancies, yet the government fails to educate young people about contra- 'ceptives, As' a result, abortion is often used as birth control. For every 100 live births there are 67 abortions. On the average, a woman will have 12 abortions in her lifetime. It is believed that education is the key for the future generation. The children must learn how to get along with others and how to treat every- one with equality. Dittrich explaioed that her visit to Eastern Europe was both exhilarat- ing and disheartening. It was excit- ing to learn about a different way of life, but it was difficult to watch peo- ple living a very rural lifestyle . Education is definitely the key to success and an improved standard of living. It will be a difficult transfor- mation, but a necessary one. • Laura Van Strien Guest Writer The status of women in Eastern Europe was the topic of a lecture given on March 27 as part of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside's Soup and Substance lecture series. Carol Dittrich, associate pro- fessor of history at UW-Milwaukee presented the lecture. Dittrich also teaches at Mount Mary College. Dittrich discussed the transforma- tion to post-communism and the eff~cts of that transformation on the women livinz in Hungary, Poland, the Slovak Republic, and the former Yugoslavia, all of which are regions that Dittrich has traveled extensive- ly. The first section of the lecture concerned the women in Hungary. There, as in the rest of Eastern Europe, women's issues are largely viewed as unimportant. Because Eastern European society is, for the most part, rural and traditional, the domestic sphere of life still remains the responsibility of the women. Everyday chores that are made rela- tively easy for U.S. women by mod- ern technology, are performed the old-fashioned way in Eastern Europe. For instance, washing clothes requires extensive hand washing or the use of a very old model washing machine. Dryers are virtually unavailable. The women of Eastern Europe make trips to the store every day because of the space limitations in homes and stores. Dittrich explained that women have very poor representation in politics and must fight for every- thing. Their lives are stressful and offer little or no free time. Dittrich also explained that while marriage is often thought of as a means of escape, for many women it turns out to be a trap in and of itself. Several generations live together in the same home and the level of frustra- tion and anger that builds often dri-L ves young women out. Many men are abusive, and violence in a household is expected. Affairs are considered acceptable for men but not for women. The divorce rate continually rises and the living con- ditions worsen. Dittrich also discussed the lack of modern medical technology in most post-communist countries. Most hos- pitals are technologically outdated. The physicians are paid very poorly for their services and, in turn, do not perform at their highest level. Health care, in general, requires extreme overhauling. There seems to be a gross inefficiency throughout Stopping Rape Sigma Tau Delta Spring Banquet rape, society tends to put unwar- ranted blame on the victim. Another factor which they feel may contribute to rape is the dan- gerous mix of too much alcohol and not enough communication. Three out of five women and two out of three men confessed to getting involved in "coercive sexual behav- ior" while drinking alcohol, accord- ing to Public Health Reports. One explanation for this is that many people view alcohol as an excuse to act inappropriately. It is important to realize that sexual coercion whether intentional or not, is justifi~ation for rape. This means that having sex with someone who • Daniel Buschmann Guest Writer • Kristine Hansen News Editor One of the growing concerns on college campuses is the occurrence of rape. According to the National Coalition Against Sexual Assault, "One in four college women have either been raped or suffered attempted rape." Also a surprising 84% of these women knew who their assailants were. However, health experts for the Federal Bureau of Investigation state that they can't accurately determine the level of sexual assault because more than a third of all cases go unreported. They feel the reason for this is that in cases of • Parkside's chapter of Sigma Tau ,Delta, the international honor soci- iety for English majors, will have its ,Spring Banquet on Apri]l9; ~ New members w~ll be inducted 'and graduating seniors willJle dis- fmissed with a hearty far!>wiill,.l"on- !members are encouraged til .!lttend 'the banquet also~. .

You and your roommate have a continu- ing disagreement about how to keep your living space clean. Your employer habitually makes racist remarks. Someone talks to you in ways that make you feel uncomfort- able. Youhave a disagreement with someone about money, possession, privacy or responsibility. Of course, we all find ourselves in situations like these from time to time. Most of the time, we fmd ways to handle them. Unfortunately, when the con- flict is difficult to resolve, we may avoid confrontation, or feel that our only alternative is to go on the attack. Soon, the campus will present another alternative: the University of Wisconsin-Parkside Dispute Resolution Center. The Center will offer a service in which trained mediators will assist disputing par- ties in the resolution of their con- flicts. Mediators will be members of our own campus: students, faculty, staff and administrators. As media- tors, they will not evaluate the "rightness" or "wrongness" of indi- vidual claims, nor will they render decisions. Instead, they will facili- tate a highly structured process that enables parties to be heard and understood. They will also help dis- putants to clarify issues, to discuss a range of alternatives, and to craft agreements that satisfy everyone involved. . The inspiration for our Dispute Resolution Center came from Parkside student and social activist Mateo Mackbee, who began conver- sations last year with university police officer Marlene Schlecht and communications professor Jonathan Shailor, two people with prior inter- est and expertise in the field of mediation. Schlecht is an experi- enced crime prevention specialist. Shailor's experience includes ten years of work in mediation as a mediator, trainer and researcher. In the spring of 1995, Mackbee, Schlecht and Shailor began discus- sions with Dean of Students Steve McLaughlin and Director of Residence Life DeAnn Stone. Both McLaughlin and Stone have consid- erable experience in mediating cam- pus issues and in training students as mediators. The evolving group began meeting formally in academic year 1995-96 as "The Mediation Committee," while adding the fol- lowing members: Liz Haas (resident assistant), Shauna Hodges (resident assistant), Jeffrey Leuenberger (uni- versity police), Gloria Secor (student affairs) and Gerhard Schutte (sociol- ogy). -Currently the committee is plan- ning the initial mediation training, scheduled for Fall 1996. In the fall, approximately 30 students, faculty, staff and administrators will partici- pate in a 30-hour training program in order to become certified as medi- ators. Members of the campus com- munity who are interested in being trained as mediators should contact Steve McLaughlin (595-2419) or Jonathan Shailor (595-2252).
