businessmen have provided them

Burton said.
His proposal will also reveal the
negative effects of 'color blind-ism,'
Ceorge said.
'When somebody tells me that they
don't see my color, it tells me they
don't see me,* he said. 'That '•very-
body's equal' statement may have
the effect of overlooking legitimate
differences."
When you deny that there is
any difference between two students,
you're denying that there could be
or could have been any discrimination, Ceorgesaid.
"By having a policy which is so
universal or so impartial to all students, you're setting a standard that
doesn't take into account the negative consequences that past and
continuing practices have had for
Black students, * he said.
'I share the doubts of Langston
Hughes, who wrote 'Unfortunately,
if you take off th* blindfold that
justice wears, you might uncover
two gaping sores where eyes used
to be, "he said.
That's why I'm concerned to
see a policy Instituted that more
directly confronts the issue rather
than (Ignoring it) because we're
afraid to get our hands dirty or
sulh/ourselves with practical reality.*
Th* student affirmative action
committee will be considering
George's proposal and will make
suggestions based upon his ideas

These committees will then make

"I didn't realize how much work it
was u ntil I started doing it. But I love
it; I get a chance to use up a lot of
energy," said Creen, who also sings
and plays piano with the choir.
O.J.    Mitchell,     tenor,     echoed
Creen's satisfaction with the choir.
"The people are beautiful; we're
just like one family. And it goes beyond the rehearsals; we care about
each other," he said.
Terri Klmber, a senior communicative disorders major and first soprano
in the choir, was equally enthusiastic
about the choir and its performance.

Candidates to speak
The candidates who are running fee-

All of the candidates will be giving
a short presentation of their platform,
and then the floor will be opened up to
questions.
"We're not Into money,* said
Shelton. "When you start getting into
money, you are de-emphasizing the
original intent of the group. You become money-conscious. *
'We're just thanking the Lord for
every opportunity he's given us;
we're blessing him for giving us
another day and the opportunity to
carry his songs to other people,*
Shelton said.
These ethnic groups have traditionally been unable to assimilate Into
the mainstream of society and feel
alienated at having only a handful of
ethnk   students   in   thdr   classes.
Poor high school counseling can be
another factor In causing students to
have wrong expectations of college.
Consequently, many ethnk students
don't   finish   college,   said   Mikeil.
'We're all humans. We all have
needs. When people's needs are met,
they're motivated," he said.
The number of students enrolled In
ethnk studies continues to Increase,
but ethnk graduates have remained
at a constant level for five years, he
said.
Mikdl believes efforts to sensitize
faculty to the needs of ethnk students, approval of a central location
for the ethnk studies office and three
new grants will aid in closing the gap
between increasing enrollments and
lagging graduates.

Rape seminar deals
with preventive steps

MARTIN GREER SIGNS PETITION TO KEEP THE SPORTS
John DtWoH, wafer poto ptaytx, looks on
By Jine. Appteoy
Rape Is the most frequently committed
violent crime, and it's on the Increase,
according to Wayne Holder, professor of psychology at CSUF.
More vktlms are winding up hospitalized, abused or dead, he said in
the first da three-part rape seminar.
- The rape seminars will be held
in th* CSUF Residence Dining Hall
for the next two Wednesdays from noon
to 2 p.m. Th* Fab. 25 seminar will
feature local polk* chiefs, who will
address the subtext and answer questions.
Th* most common location of rape
Is not ki a dark alley as some people
believe but in the victim's own home.
Women should deadboh all doors
and windows and check work Identification cards from repairmen.
They should also vary thdr daily
routine as a rapist usually watches
his victim's movements to determine
the best time to plan th* attack, according to the film, Rape Escape, that was
shown at the seminar.
Three other panelists Joined Holder
in th* seminar: Mary Belcher-Ash,
public educator for the Rape Counseling
Service; Worth Vogel, head of the sexual
assault unit of the dlstrkt attorney's
offke and Nancy McCabe, executive
director of the Rape Counseling Service.
Th* panelists all stressed that rape
should be reported as currently only
one in five victims Inform the authorities of the crime.
'It's not uncommon when th* rapist
knows he won't be reported that he
will go back and rape the same person
again. By reporting the crime, you might
be preventing someone else from
being raped. If you know someone
who has been raped or assaulted, try
to got them to com* forward,* Vogel
said.
Many women fear that th* rapist
will try to com* back to kill them if they
testifies against him. Vogel said that
he has not heard of one case of this
happening after a woman has testified.
Vogd also said that th* trial system
has been changed recently in the victim's favor. He said that the vktim
Is carefully prepared for the trial and
that there 'won't be any surprises.*
"Many antiquated laws are being
taken off the books. For example, up to
the beginning of this year, a rape victim
was required to take a psychiatric
examination because It was believed
that K was possible, and likely, for a
woman to fantasize about such a thing
happening. The law was changed Just
this January,* Vogel said.
To avoid rape Vogel said a woman
should 'try to treat the rapist as a human
being. Don't talk down to him as that
can be very dangerous. Never allow
yourself to be tied up or put In a car.*
McCabe said that a woman needs
to be aware of the situation and her
surroundings.

Rally protesting sports cuts held
By Joan Htetpas
Last Friday in the free speech are*
a rally was held by athletes protesting
the recent move by the athletic department to cut out intercollegiate swimming, badminton, water polo and gymnastics.
A booth with petitions against th*
move was also set up. As of 12:30 p.m.
more than 3,000 signatures had been
collected since 9 a.m. on Thursday.
Regarding the sports being axed,
Vicki Rutiedge, a swimmer, said, "I
think we should cut back, not out.'
Rutiedge was In favor of 'eliminating
some pre-season games that we would
lose money on anyway."
Henry Carrejo from the badminton
team echoed Rutledge's viewpoints by
appealing to the affected athletes and
coaches to take a second look at their
budgets. He said h* feels If «veryone
would tighten their belts, such drastic
cuts as eliminating teams might not have
to be made.
'I'm rnore In favor of having a broad
sports program instead of a limited one
where most of the money only goes to a
couple of sports."
Carrejo encouraged athletes to reexamine their traveling costs to so* if
fewer people could be on the traveling
roster or if teams could travel tog*th«r
to any matches or games when they play
the same school.
Th* group of athletes are planning to
take their grievance, along with spedf k
alternatives to the senate meeting
Tomorrow at 3 p.m. In th* college union.
Room 312. All persons Interested in
this issue are encouraged to attend.
Rutiedge said she feds the money
being spent by the swim team is used
wisely.
'I think our coach (Billle Posten) was
looking into the possibility of us getting
new sweatsuits,* she said, "but we don't
really need them. Sure, they would be
nice to have, but what's the use without
the program?*    -
Rutiedge said that Posten had been
helryulandsurjoortiveof her team In the
face of the cut* by advising them on
actions they could take to fight the
dedsion.
Rutiedge said that when administrators talk to students, they often think the
students will forget the Information, or
come to a standstill with It because they
don't know the workings of the school.
But some of the coaches are working
with the students by advising them on
what steps to take next.
Carrejo felt that the sports cuts were
especially detrimental to woman, since
they put them back even farther wfth
regards to being treated equal to men In
athletic programs.
