Men fight to stop sex crimes Supporters will wear white ribbons in an effort to raise awareness about how men can prevent sexual violence By Lisa Catto News Reporter Many men on campus are joining the fight to stop sexual assault and sex ual violence, and one of the largest forces behind this movement is the University Men's Center. Counseling Center Psychologist Ion Davies, who helped found the Men's Center, said that men perpetrate more than 90 percent of sexual assaults. "Men need to step up and take re sponsibility and help reduce the num ber of occurrences." Davies said. "When we don't speak up and speak out against (sexual assault and sexual vio lence), we let (the male abusers) speak for us. Those are the actions that speak the loudest." Many men are going to be showing their support for ending sexual vio lence by participating in the White . Ribbon Campaign. Wearing white ribbons is part of the Men's Center's goal of becoming more visible on campus, the center's director, Dave Miller, said, adding that the group has only been around for two years. Davies said the idea for the group came out of several informal meetings between members of different campus organizations to discuss concerns of men's physical and mental health. Davies said while more than 90 per cent of conduct problems reported to the University are caused by men, the majority of people discussing problems with the University Counseling and Testing Center are female. The group decided to conduct a survey with male students addressing their health concerns, barriers to r Carti Morgenstein Freelance Photographer Counseling Center Psychologist Jon Davies (left) and Men’s Center Director Dave Miller educate men on how they can prevent sexual violence Wednesday in front of the EMU. health care and advice to improve ac cessibility for men. Davies said the group learned that men have many health concerns — including stress management, body image, depres sion and suicide — but they don't usually seek help for their problems. Davies attributes the problem to "the way they were socialized" and the idea that men should be independent. 1 le Turn to MEN, page 4 mn town mm. 947 Franklin Blvd. (near UO) • 343-4480 Individual, Family Style, Banquets to 100, Take Out Tues.-Thurs. 11-10:30, Fri. 11-11 Sat. 12-11, Sun.
