LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Rape prevention program isn't broad enough I am writing in regards to Jamie Belcher's news article on Nov. 21 per­ taining to the new rape prevention program at Saint Mary's. Initially, I was very impressed that Saint Mary's was adding a new program to com­ bat something that has been neglected for some time by the college. However, after reading the article, I was very alarmed by a very naive and common misconception about sexual assault stated in the article. Oil spill is a threat to a Ms. Belcher describes "one Saint Mary's student who will never fall into that category [of assault victim]" because she already has "1 0 years expe­ rience of karate under her belt."

His stately figure twists towards the viewer in figura serpintina­ ta posture, suggesting both political power and erotic eminence. In this pos­ ing of Cosimo as Orpheus, one finds the conjoining of ancient classical themes with the governing reality of sixteenth­ century Florence. Cosimo's wife also receives treatment in portraiture; she appears in Bronzino's 1545 Eleonora of Toledo and Her Son Giovanni. Bronzino showcases Eleonora's regal stature as an elegant suggestion of her role as the maternal source of future Florentine power. Her position as woman is lauded. Feinberg said, "although by and large women did not have status in society like men, there was a great respect on the part of the Medici for women of intellect and strength." Other such feminine works include Bronzino's 1561 Laura Battiferra degli Ammanati, in which the subject, holding a book of Petrarchan sonnets, sits as symbolic successor in talent of the fourteenth- century poet. There are several drawings featured by Michelangelo, graceful illuminations of the artist's meticulous method of compositional planning. Candelabrum of 1537 exemplifies this exacting style; it is part of a recent discovery in a box of eighteenth and nineteenth century designs for lighting fixtures found in the Cooper-Hewitt Museum in New York. This marks the first exhibition of the newly treasured drawings, sources of great international intrigue.
