railing me "Bill against rape.' ”
Brotzmnn said the two directors before him also quit
because of burn-out. Foxley. the current dint.tor. said he
definitely won't be Men Against Rape’s director next
year.
“It's a struggle every morning to wake up and have to
think about an issue like this." Foxley said.
Men Against Rape member Ben Novinger said he
believes one of the reasons more men don't join the
group is because rape is such a tough issue to work with
"It's not a lot of fun being involved in this issue." he
said. "It tears your heart apart to constantly focus on this
issue."
Men Against Rape members present rape and sexism
awareness programs to students in student living organi
zations like dormitories and greek houses
Novinger said a big motivator for men to become
involved in fighting rape is knowing someone who has
been raped. The current members ail have friends and
family members who have been either raped or physi
cally or sexually abused.
Freeman said he is not burnt out yet. but he is disap
pointed only four men on this campus are involved with
Men Against Rape.
"Men should be coming out in droves to re-examine
who they are." he said.
Until more men are involved with the group, members
said they'll continue to be overloaded with work —
sometimes so much work they give up.
"You have to recognize when you’re not doing enough
and when you're doing too much." he said. "You can't
change the world overnight. No one has that much ener

RUMORS
Continued from Page 1
"They just didn’t get reported to us.”
Birr said tiio rumor that police kept the rapes secret is
completely unfounded If a rape was reported to the police,
it would appear on the public log. he said
Poiice will withhold the identification of the victim and
details that may compromise the investigation of a crime,
but will not withhold that the crime was reported, he said
Numerous citizens have been calling police since the
investigation of the recent rapes in the north Eugene area
began. Birr said.
Police are investigating three rapes and one assault that
have occurred during the past two months in the north
Eugene areu Though the attacks have some similarities.
Birr said the police are not ready to say there is a serial
rapist in the area.
“There are some similarities, but there ore also some
significant differences in the descriptions of the suspect
and the attacks." he said.
Despite .the differences, many people have called the
police with sightings of the rapist and rumors of rape by
the alleged serial rapist.
"The problem with the alleged serial rapist is it starts
all sorts of crazy rumors,” Birr said. "'Hie amount of rumors
probably exceed the number of actual rapes ’
Birr said police recently heard a rumor that a woman
was rapud in a crowded grocery store parking lot in the
middle of the afternoon. Yet no victim or witnesses have
been found.
The rumors put police in a tough position because rope
is an underreported crime. Birr said. He said police can
not say the rapes didn't occur, but they cannot act on
unsupported rumors.
"What are we supposed to do? Go door to door asking
people if they are victims?" Baker said. “That’s not prac
tical."

unit other fraternity members, including
Nguven. i hei ked the third floor Swartluy
said they could not find any evidence of a
fire and dlsconnm.ted the fire alarm
"There was nothing No smoko, no smell,
no heat," Swart ley said.
The fraternity members went l>ai k to lied
and woke up about .1:30 a m. to the sound of
smoke alarms and fire alarms Swart lev said
a separate fire alarm was pulled bv a frater
nity pledge in the sleeping porch who woke
up and smelled smoke
Hirr said even though the mem tiers didn't
smell any smoke after the first alarm was
ai tivated, the s|m( e heater in Nguyen's room
could have been close enough to something
to cause the alarm to sound.
The total damage to the fraternity was
estimated at $15,000 Hirr said the structur
al damage to the building was about
$25,000. and the damage to the contents of
the building was an estimated $10,000
Most of the damage to the building was
contained to the third floor I’he flames wore
contained to Nguyen's room and the third
floor corridor. Hirr said The rest of the third
floor suffered extensive smoke and beat
damage and is unfit to live in
Swartluy said the second and first floors
of the fraternity are still livable, even though
the fraternity has experienced numerous
power outages
If the fraternity 's fire alarm is fixed, some
of the displaced third-floor residents i an
move into the lower floors, Swartluy said
The fraternity is also looking for other hous
ing options for memliers
"We have had a lot of support from the
greek system," he said. "We might move
some members into other fraternities or into
our live-out members' houses University
Housing is also working with us "
Itirr said the fraternity' find a good repu
tation in rei out years for keeping up to fire
codes
