Dating and rapists...Such a hot idea? Parking
Tips for being safe at night
Picture this, if you will. (This
is an imagined situation.)
Bobby calls up Marci on the
phone, asks her out to, let’s say, a
favored motion picture of his.
They have a great time, and on
the way home, he gets real honest
with her. He tells her that he is a
convicted rapist, but he believes
it to be behind him.
This situ­
ation could
possibly hap­
pen. In Ore­
gon, there is a
radical new
program that
would teach
convicted rap­
ists interper­
sonal skills,
teaching them
to date, so it
were. But is
this the best so-

lution, or is it a solution period,
to the endless problem of rape in
society?
Those who oppose it argue
that what could happen with this
program is that rapists might rape
again.
Those who support this pro­
gram say that interpersonal skills
are exactly what rapists need to

get over their problems.
My opinion: Wait and see.
Women might be afraid of, or
opposed to, trusting someone who
may have violated them in the
past. And besides, date rape is a
very common crime these days.
But then again, my editor
told me that the legal system is
failing. Convicts will be released
in any event because jail space is
scarce, so why not develop a
program that would, teach them
fundamental skills to function
normally in society? And while
this may not be the best idea, it’s
all we’ve got to go on. So there­
fore, my opinion is wait and see.
I have decided to go out into
the college campus for a version
of “Campus Views.” So here is
the question: Oregon has a pro­
gram that would teach rapists to
date. Do you believe that this is a
good idea? Please explain.

Pen Don' shows in new theater
by- Tracey Roozenboom
Staff Writer
Emlyn William’s play “Pen
Don” is coming to Clackamas.
Director and Speech Instruc­
tor Jack Shields exclaimed, “The
cast and crew have been working
very hard so that this will be a
marvelous experience for our
audience.”
The play is about a clan called
Tribe of Lowie who ask Pen Don,
(mountain of the earth goddess),
to help their people from any ret­
ribution for letting Lan live. They
worry that Lan may bring about
disfavor to the clan when they
enter King Arthur’s Avalon. But
in the end peace prevails under
Keldin (Lan’s good hearted twin).
The production stars Marty
Conklin, Dennis Corwin, David
Harvey, Lichen June, Joseph
Lechuga, Dona Miller, Perry
Perkins, Camberly Torres and
Elliot Zipprodt.
One advantage of this play
over previous ones is that it will
be in the newly remodeled thea­
ter. According to Shields, “Folks
who haven’t been in the newly
remodeled theater will find it com­
fortable and warm.”
Tickets are $6 for general ad­
mission and $3 for students. “Pen
Don” will run Dec. 3-5 and 11-12
at8p.m.and Dec. 13at2:30p.m.
