This Sexual Assault Awareness Week, The Observer takes a look I n F o c u s at efforts to raise awareness and stop rape on campus. Tuesday, November 14, 2000 A regular feature of The Observer's News Department Recent changes to Notre Dame s sexu right direction, but in efforts to sto A long path

By LIZ ZANONI w In Focus W rite r

It is Sexual Assault Awareness Week, and in the wake of a campus furor last spring over Notre Dame’s handling of sex crimes and subsequent changes to the resources for victims, campus administrators are hoping to stop all sexual assault on campus. That may seem like a lofty goal, but University leaders are hoping that through a -■ T " concentrated effort to study, and in certain h ways change, Notre Dame’s policies, this ideal will become reality. Sexual assault is something that all schools face, according to Bill Kirk, assistant vice president for Residence Life. “ It’s an issue that’s never very far from the surface on a college campus, which is unfor­ tunate,” he said Notre Dame’s sexual assault policy burst into the forefront of campus debate last April, when two reports about student rapes appeared in The Observer. The second of these articles detailed the aftermath of a 1997 rape, and the Student Affairs disciplinary hearing in the case. This story, along with a series on the topic published in the South Bend Tribune last May, shone a spotlight on the issue, and ensuing public attention led the University to reevaluate how it handles sexual assault cases on campus. “Finally, we can hopefully prevent occa­ sions of sexual assault,” Kirk said. Over the summer, Kirk and other members of the Student Affairs staff met to discuss W : cmm ■■ : measures to raise awareness and prevent assaults in the future. “We wanted to respond to the concern we heard students share in painful testimony," said Kirk who noted that some students had y % ' expressed confusion of how to report an assault. Shortly after classes resumed in August, Notre Dame announced four changes to the way it will deal with sexual misconduct in the future. ♦ A staff or faculty member will be estab­ lished as the official resource person to help victims of sexual assault on campus. ♦ A committee of representatives from Notre Dame and Saint Mary’s faculty, Campus Security, the school's student bodies, and prevention and education programs will advise the University on issues of sexual assault. ♦ This year’s copy of duLac, the student handbook, will explicitly state that “student victims will not be subject to disciplinary action” associated with alcohol or parietal •A:SS violations in cases of sexual assault. ♦ Two brochures were printed explaining the resources available for victims and the University’s disciplinary hearing procedure. The University is trying to do whatever it can to make victims feel more comfortable in asking for help, said Jeff Shoup, director of must remember Notre Dame’s boundaries. groups. “We wanted to respond “We are an educational process and this One place where change may still be need­ Residence Life. to the concern we heard “Generally, we are trying to think of ways process is not set up in an adversarial man­ ed is in the disciplinary hearings. and put things in place for students to feel ner,” he said. “It is set up that a students is These hearings are not uncommon.

NFL Elam’s last-minute field goal gives Broncos win over Raiders

Associated Press

DENVER Somehow, the Denver Broncos almost always beat the Oakland Raiders. Denver did it for the second time this season Monday night, winning 27-24 on Jason Elam’s 41-yard field goal on the final play of the game after Oakland had rallied from two touchdowns down in the second half to tie it with a little more than a m inute left. It was the second loss this season for the Raiders (8-2) and dropped them into a tie for the NFL’s best record with Tennessee, Miami, Minnesota and St. Louis. It ended a six-game win­ ning streak that began after Denver beat them 33-24 in Oakland on Sept. 17. The Broncos (6-4) are still two games behind the Raiders, who could have just about wrapped up the AFC West with a win. But Denver w ill have the tiebreaker if they can make up those games and the Broncos are in the thick of the AFC wild­ card race. Under coach Mike Shanahan, the Broncos have beaten Oakland in 11 of their last 12 meetings. The Broncos took a 24-10 lead early in the fourth quarter on an 11-yard TD pass to Byron Chamberlain from Brian Griese, who missed a lit­ tle more than one series with a bruised shoulder.. That capped a string of 17 straight points by the Broncos, who broke a 10-10 tie in the third quarter when rookie Ian Gold blocked Shane Lechler’s punt and returned it 12 yards for a TD. But the Raiders rallied for two TDs, the first on a 1-yard run by Zack Crockett, the second on a 22-yard pass from Rich Gannon to Tim Brown with 1:06 left. It was Broncos weather — the temperature fell into the teens in the second half and the wind chill was near zero. But the Raiders, playing without running back Tyrone Wheatley and kicker Sebastian Janikowski, dominated the first half, outgaining the Broncos 216-100. Oakland managed to lead by just 10-7 because of three turnovers and a plethora of penalties. Denver took a 7-0 lead just 3:28 into the game on Terrell Davis’ 5-yard run after Ray Crockett intercepted a Gannon pass at the Oakland 39 on the game’s third play from scrimmage. A 19-yard field goal by Brett Conway — subbing for Janikowski, whose infected foot kept him out — cut it to 7-3. Then Zack Crockett went in from a yard away with just under three minutes left in the half to give the Raiders a 10-7 lead. The Broncos used the first 7:35 of the second half to drive 70 yards to the Oakland 4-yard line. But Davis was stuffed for no gain on third down and Denver had to settle for Elam’s 23-yard field goal that tied the game at 10. Just over two minutes later, Gold, a rookie line­ backer, broke up the middle and blocked Lechler’s punt, then picked it up and ran into the end zone. Then Griese directed a flawless 83-yard drive, going 6-for-6 for 73 yards and throwing to Chamberlain for the score. And the defense stopped the Raiders on four downs from their 10 after a 49-yard completion from Gannon to Andre Risen.

W o m e n ’s B a s k etb a ll Irish prepare with preseason test against Finnish Select

By NOAH AMSTADTER Assistant Sports Editor

The exhibition season serves as a time when a team is able to develop without the pressure of knowing that the game counts. Coaches can try different plays combinations of players that nor­ mally would not play together, and observe other aspects of their team without the need to win the game. For the Notre Dame women’s basketball team, tonight’s game against Tapiolan llonka from Helsinki, Finland, should prove to be entertaining while allowing Irish coach Muffet McGraw to try as many tricks as she wishes. The Irish enter the game coming off of an impressive 91-56 victory over the Ohio All-Stars on November 5. In that game, the Irish were able to maintain a dominating lead despite having All- American center Ruth Riley on the floor for only 12 minutes. Freshman guard Jeneka Joyce came off the bench to lead the Irish with 16 points. With 10 more days of practice under their belts, Joyce expects the team to come out even stronger tonight. “We should play just as well or even better than we played our first exhibition game,” she said. Joyce also realizes that the team needs Riley on the floor for more of the game, which can only be accomplished if the senior stays out of foul trou­ ble. "We want her on the floor as much as possible because she is an All-American and she’s a great asset to our team,” said Joyce. While the game marks the final preseason game for the Irish, it is also the last of 10 games on a Midwest trip for Tapiolan llonka. The Finnish team did not fare as well as they might have hoped in the heartland of America, carrying in a record of 0-9 after Monday night’s 94-43 loss at the hands of the University of Dayton. The loss to Dayton followed another disappoint­ ing loss on Sunday night, as the European ladies fell to the Buckeyes of Ohio State by a score of 120-46. IIeta Korpivaara has proved the offensive II leader for Tapiolan llonka, leading the team in ■ m, scoring each of the last two games with 18 points Monday after 10 points and five rebounds the previous evening. JEFF HSU/The Observer Tapiolan Honka has also lost to Butler, Sophomore guard Monique Hernandez and the Irish compete in their second preseason game tonight against the Vanderbilt and Wright State during their Finnish Select. The Irish came out strong on Nov. 5 with at 91-56 win over the Ohio All-Stars.
