Rape is not the only crime to guard against. Sexual harrassment in other forms is no more pleasant or even more acceptable than rape, nor does an in­ cident need to be sexual in nature to be feared.

In this way, I. C. can avoid a marred record, and students can avoid harrassment. oy Stuckwell, Management '80 Cathy McCuOey, Philosophy '82 It's definitely happening and Maybe there should be more as been happening for a while_ after hours parties that are held It bothers me that students feel far away from town. the need to get senslessly drunk so often.
