Canon 9 Sta tesm aIn tea tues Reaching Out For UNIVERSITY RESPONSIE By Joe Fraioli Statesman Features Editor Imagine yourself driving a car down a long and seemingly endless road with a destination in mind. An intersection lies ahead with two other automobiles approaching the intersection, one coming from the east, the other from the west. As all three vehicles prepare to turn north, they unexpectedly merge together and continue in a compromised direction. This can be seen as a brief history of UNIVERSITY RESPONSE, possibly Stony Brook's newest campus service. , Ellie Demberg, a senior majoring in Psychology, rode into Stony Brook from SUNY Albany last summer and was unable to locate a hotline intervention center around the campus. "I came to this campus in the summer of '93 and I worked at a hotline previously and noticed that Stony Brook didn't have one," she said. "So, I got in contact with the Department of Residences through Step Beyond." Step Beyond is an internship program that was offered in the Fall where students and staff strive to combat acquaintance rape on campus. It was there that Demberg developed her decision to provide the campus with a crisis hotline. "So this was my project, to do a hotline," she said. "One of the people I contacted when I started researching this, was Jen's advisor." Jennifer Jordan, a senior enrolled in the School of Social Welfare, was currently under the supervision of Carmen Vazquez, director of Student Union and Activities. ------7, ------7 -- -- - .. Jordan had just feft her volunteer position in the Veterans' those services after five," she said. "I approached the Jordan, Demberg, and Solin plan on posting flyers Hospital due to the poor working conditions she claims already existing Step Beyond program and hooked up with for the item and getting endorsements from clubs and were present. With the absence of her position, Jordan Ellie and Jen." candidates as well. They currently have ten candidates found herself looking for a way to fill a lot of volunteer Now complete and merged together, Demberg, endorsing the referendum. "The referendum passage is hours. "Through the BSW program, I'm required to fulfill Jordan, and Solin took Byrnes' advice and -sought a pre- more important than the money, because it says students 210 hours per semester internship," she said. "Because existing telephone hotline service. Byrnes recommended support this at a community level through their individual of my interest in women's issues and feminism, I wanted RESPONSE, a hotline counseling service funded by vote," said Jordan. "[UNIVERSITY RESPONSE is] the to create an accessible service for those in need of Suffolk County. Demberg, Jordan, and Solin arranged a only service of this kind on campus to this community." counseling." deal with RESPONSE to use the physical structure of the Arlene Davis, executive director of RESPONSE, sees At first, Jordan wanted to start a hotline service organization in exchange for the payment of training and the venture as an opportunity to benefit both organizations. specifically for women. "I was personally interested in overhead costs. "I think it's the best bargain I've ever Stony Brook will be operating its own hotline crisis providing a service for women when the Counseling heard of," said Byrnes.

It wasn't service, receive training, and obtain actual hands-on Davis said that the training is very professional and until Vazquez linked the two together, that they finally experience with the counseling. Through donations from callers responses are kept in strict confidentiality. "The met. "Carmen was our connection," said Jordan. various academic departments, they have already been able training is very professional with very high standards," Jordan and Demberg then went to Anne Byrnes, to incur the cost of $3,000 that is needed to update the she said. "It's [RESPONSE] a very important service and director of the University Counseling Center with their phone lines so that Stony Brook students will be able to a service available to all students." ideas. Both Jordan and Demberg wanted a hotline service reach the hotline from the 632- phone number. "We With the Polity elections approaching on Tuesday, accessible to students after the Counseling Center closes developed a 24 hour hotline crisis intervention telephone April 19 and Wednesday the 20th, Demberg, Jordan, and at 5:00 p.m. The hotline service would provide counseling counseling and referral hotline with a 632- number so that Solin plan on campaigning highly for their referendum by trained individuals to those who called in. "I suggested it is easily accessible to students on campus," said they make use of a pre-existing one [hotline service], Demberg. "It also gives the campus community an instead of starting from scratch," said Byrnes. "I suggested alternative for after the University Counseling Center a joint university-community venture to provide a crisis closes." Gn intervention hotline." Byrnes agreed saying, "The hospital is the only Byrnes is no stranger to the hotline service. She was counseling center open during the evening and an director of "Bridge to Somewhere," a hotline service emergency room is not a place you want to go when you offered by Stony Brook approximately ten years ago. want to talk about something." Byrnes also said that a phone line would be "more do- Students will be able to talk about almost anything if able and feasible than a walk-in service..." the UNIVERSITY RESPONSE is established. Topics Last Spring, Claudia Solin, a junior majoring in may range from suicide, stress, sexuality orientation issues, Cq English arrived on campus and also saw the need for a rape and dating violence, to pregnancy and birth control support and counseling service for Stony Brook. "At my issues. "It really is a campus issue, the fact that we don't tz previous college, which is Kenyan College in Ohio, along have accommodating and accessible counseling services > with one or two other students, I established a rape after hours," said Jordan. "You should be able to find education and awareness program," she said. "That was someone with the push of a few buttons." something needed to fill a void." These few buttons do have a hefty price, though. For Earlier this semester, Solin wanted to start a hotline overhead, rent and training, costs are expected to total to counseling service as well, to fill Stony Brook's own void. about $14,000 a year. Jordan, Demberg, and Solin have Solin, who is also a commuter senator, first went to Polity decided to combat this cost by placing an item on referenda to seek funding for an intervention service. She was then in this year's Polity elections. The referendum asks for -0 directed to the Division of Campus Residences who, in $.75 from each student per semester. Demberg said they turn, directed her to Step Beyond. "Because of toe things will support this referendum and raise student awareness I worked on, I noticed that Stony Brook didn't provide by "campaigning like hell."

Harassment is harassment no Physician Assistant programs are now teaching aware- when a person know it's wrong. matter who does it - friend or stranger, man or woman. Many women put up with the suggestive comments or wrongful touching from an employer because they fear they may lose their jobs. Women shouldn't be made to feel victimized and if they are made to feel vunerable, it is harassment and it is illegal. Sexual harassment occurs more with women than with men, probably because "women are viewed in society as being more vulnerable, but they're not," said Kayla Mendelsohn, assistant dean for student affairs. "In early cases, people's consciousness were not quite raised and women no longer are taking embarrassment and humiliation quietly. Snide remarks and put downs have decreased markedly,"most likely between the sexes in the workplace and other such areas, Jeanette Hotmer of University Police said. Sexual harassment occurs more than people may think. The Association of American colleges reported that twenty to thirty percent of college women have been sexually harassed.
