mon sense OPS has recently
produced a video to promote
that very idea
(allied "Gone In Thirty Sec
onds." the video will he shown
in the dorms during registra
tion week OPS believes this
promotion of awareness is ne<
essary because students often
inadvertently s.u rifice their he
longings for the sake of conve
nience Whether going down
the hall to visit a neighbor or
dashing into the KMI' for a cup
of coffee, students are advised
to secure their belongings
Aside from i ornrnon i areless
ness, widespread belief in the
"bushy haired stranger" myth
also puts students themselves
at risk of becoming victims of
campus crime A« cording to
OPS officers, the person who
steals from or assaults a student
is not likely to be
a'bushvhaired stranger" hut
another student, possibly even

One crime that is not accu
rately reflected in campus

"Women are not going to
come forward and say, I went
to a party with this guy I've
been dating for a couple of
weeks and we had a little too
much to drink and he forced
me into having sex,' " she
said
A woman who is raped may
take <i while to realize that she
has in fact been raped Once
she does realize it, "we re go
ing to he the last ones to hear
about it." Hunter said. She said
she is "willing to bet that one
out of a hundred date rapes is
reported
The legal definition of rape is
forced intercourse, but rape
takes many forms, few of which
involve strangers "Coercive
rape" occurs when the woman
does not verbally consent to in
tercourse "Date rape" is forced
intercourse by someone with
whom the woman has an on
going relationship. “Acquain
tance rape” is forced inter
course by someone who the
victim knows.
All rapes should be reported
as soon as possible after the
crime has been committed. To
better serve students, OHS
would like to be informed of all
campus rapes; however, there
are confidential sendees avail
able to rape victims on campus
and in the University area.
Rapes can he reported confi
dentially to the dean of stu
dents, the Counseling Center,
the Student Health Center and
the Rape Crisis Network
Students who find them
selves in trouble or in need of
assistance can reach OPS at

phones located throughout
