The data showed that 13.7% of undergraduate women were victims of at least one sexual assault since entering college. 4.7% of victims suffered from physically forced sexual assault and 7.8% were assaulted when they Stories on pages 6,7 & 8 were incapacitated after knowingly consuming drugs or alcohol.

The UW Oshkosh football team dismantled Huntingdon College (Ala.) on Saturday by a score of 44-14. Freshman quarterback Kobe Berghammer had a near perfect showing in his first career start as he went 20-22 with 223 yards and three touchdowns through the air. He also ran the ball 15 times for 49 yards and a score. After a back and forth defen- sive battle in the first quarter, the Titans blocked a Huntingdon punt that led to a safety and gave the Titans a 2-0 lead with 4:50 to play in the quarter. UWO exploded in the second quarter with four touchdowns. Junior Chris Hess and sophomore Joe Franks ran for touchdowns, and Berghammer passed for two more in the frame. The Titans took a 30-0 lead heading into half time and head coach Pat Cerroni said his quar- terback played very well, espe- cially for his first start. Joseph Schulz/The Advance-Titan “It’s not how we planned it,” UWO senior defensive back Calvin Shilling (20) tackles Huntingdon quarterback Otis Porter (2) while UWO linebacker Nick Noethe Cerroni said. “You’d like to see approaches in pursuit.
