\ ,* TV Grand Valley Lanthom 5 ii X Monday. October 9. 2006 OPINION editonai^tanthom com EDITORIAL EDITORIAL CARTOON A matter of trust Di{.k in... Even when feeling secure amongst friends or acquaintances, students need to trust themselves enough to be safe and responsible in a party environment.

There are many practices for being safe in social places, especially those that involve alcohol. Students are taught to remain in the company of close friends, have a designated driver and drink responsibly. This advice is not always enough, however, as six out of 10 rapes occur at victims’ homes or the house of someone they know, and 80 percent of victims know their attackers. These statistics show that it is just as easy to be in a dangerous situation when surrounded by friends in the comfort of one’s own home. When attending parties or going out to the bar, students need to watch out for themselves instead of relying on others to do it. With the threat of date rape drugs, students must not only be conscious of how much alcohol they consume, but where their drinks are at all times. While drugs such as GHB. Ketamine and Rohypnol, or “roofies,” have been warned about and discussed, a new date rape toxin called Scopolamine has made its way from Columbia into the United States in places such as Florida and Texas.
