Timeor a nevv ook I alce at huaninies¢ By Tom Curtis Last week, the completed results oaf the Student Committee on Educational Policy (SCEP) survey showed that ovger half of the stu- dents want a freshman English requirement. At the very least, this sup- port should be seen as a mandate for serious reexamination of the cur- rent humanities, arts, and social sciences requirement.. ^}Reexamination is needed because the current humanities require- ment is plagued by several obvious flaws. The most serious flaw is a lack of a genuine commitment to teaching the non-technical aspects o~f human civilization which has been a central part of unliversities since their inception during the Middle Ages. Although the requirement of- ficially has five worthy humanistic goals, there is no meaningful way for these goals to be accomplished. According to the -.978-79 Courses and Degree Programs edition of the MIT bulletin, the humanities,-arts, and social sciences requirement tries "'to develop: I) skill in comnmunication, both oral and written; 2) knowledge of human cultures, past and present, and of the -ways inl which they have influenced one another; 3) awareness of concepts, -1, ideas, and systems of thought that underlie human activities; 4) under- Len J . Palssman standing of the social, political, economic, and legal framework of our society; and 5) sensitivity to modes of communication and self- expression in the arts."

These pamphlets explain self-defense measures which womfen can use if- they are attacked by a potential CAREER10~d Ile"^I rapist. -Copies of this pamphlet are available throughout the year in the CP off-ice on the second floor of the Armory. I "The main thing is for a woman not to put herself in a i position where she can be raped," said Lieutenant Joseph Mc- Cluisky. If a woman is attacked, I however, there are two types of- resistance she can offer: active and passive. Fainting, crying, and trying to reason and talk with the attacker are examples of ~passive -resistance, while fighting, scream- ing, and blowing-whistles are ex- amples of active resistance. -''Every circumstance is dif- ferent, so the only thing a police officer can do is counsel women on the two types of resistance," said McClusky. He suggests that a womnan start with passive I resistance, and if this does not i I deter the attacker, she should try a more active form of resistance. H~e noted that the woman has to .use her own judgment, as there have been instances where the I woman was strangled by the at- tacker in an attempt to silence her. "If the, man is bent on rape,, just use passive means." I The MIT Campus, Patrol has three officers -two women and one man - who have received specil training in rape counseling and prevention procedures.
