Recent sexual assault raises safety issues By Melissa Nielsen CAMPUS EDITOR

The recent sexual assault of woman on cam- pus has reiterated the need for police and cam- pus sexual assault services for the ongoing problem of rape. On Oct. 9, at about midnight, an unidentified woman said a man she knew sexually assaulted her in Thomas Hall, a police report said. Though the report was filed, no charges will be filed, said Adam Due, chief public safety officer. He said the woman wanted to make police aware of the situation, but did not want to take the case any further. Due said the victim knew the offender, did not seek medical attention and police were not aware of any alcohol use. Tom Edwards, president of the board for Sexual Assault Crisis and Information Center, said going to police is one option sexual assault victims have, but victims who feel they need help should call professional help lines in their area after an assault. Students who are victims of a sexual assault can call the SACIS crisis hotline 24-hours a day, COLIN MCAULIFFE/PHOTO EDITOR 365 days a week, he said. The hotline has trained volunteers that can offer professional advice, information and counseling that roommates or Happy Birthday, Tony! friends may not be able to provide.

Edwards said. “We are required by law to not give any information to anybody.” Victims of a sexual assault have several options, including going to the hospital, getting counseling and going to police.
