About 25 employees
of the meticulously
maintained Boston Public
Library grew so close to
their work that they had
to use the city's grief-
counseling services in
August after a burst wa-

cartons of books.

Said a library execu-
tive to a Boston Globe
reporter, “It‘s a process
just like when someone
dies."

One employee com-
plained of nightly panic
attacks in which she had
recurring dreams of the
flooding but couldn't
save the books.

charged with conspiracy
to use weapons of mass

According to the FBI.
they had threatened
several state and federal
officials, and their most

Helping understand AIDS

‘._--da..

Duo speaks tonight about how
friends can help make a difference

By Matthew T. Patton
W

College students are
faced with a world of de-
cisions, and a few poorly
made can change one's
life forever.

This is the message
two fraternity men have
been sending to more
than 500.000 students
across the nation.
Tonight they will bring
the message to UK.

Their program. ti-
tled “Friendship in the
Age of AIDS," explains
how Joel Goldman's life
dramatically changed in
1992 when he took a rou-
tine HIV-antibody test

and discovered that he
was HIV-positive.

“The saddest part
for me. personally,"
Goldman said. “is that
this isn’t something I
had to get. It‘s not like
cancer or heart disease.
or something predeter-
mined in my genetics. I
got this because of the
choices I made regard-
ing sex and alcohol.“

His experience con-
vinced a friend. T.J. Sula
livan. to join him in a
national speaking pro-
ject to educate students
about AIDS and HIV.

“Our friendships might
depend on it."

Tony Blanton, dean
of fraternities, said he
has seen the program.

“It‘s a very power~
ful, funny program that
addresses the subject of
AIDS and safe sex in a
way that really gets the
message across."

Josh Knipp. Inter-
fraternity Council presi-
dent. agreed.

“The program is bet-
ter than most boring
seminars that you feel
like you have to go to
but never pay attention
at," he said. "Anything
to raise campus aware-
ness about AIDS should
be a popular program."

Rush not

by policy

Fraternities find good things
from alcohol policy in the
way of high pledge turnout

By Jill Gorin
Wham wine:

Although the campus going dry has
some students in an uproar. fraternity rush
has actually benefited front the decision.

“Most fraternities thought at first that
the dry campus would have a negative im-
pact on potential pledges because the image
of fraternities includes parties and drink
ing.” said Marc Klegg. finance marketing
junior anti vice-president of external affairs
for Phi Kappa Psi social fraternity.

But Klegg said the oppoSIte has oc-
curred.

”I think that the fraternities worked
even harder to get guys to rush because
they assumed the dry campus would be a
turnoff.“ Klegg said.

The number of pledges this year for fra-
ternities. as a whole. is more than 400. com»
pared to 342 pledges last year. said Dean of
Fraternities Tony Blanton. The largest so-
cial fraternity on campus. Pi Kappa Alpha

109 members had 139, pledges this year.

About 13 percent of L'K students belong
to fraternities and sororities and will prob
ably continue to do so in the future. Blan-
ton said

“The alcohol-free policy hasn't hurt."
Blanton said. "I think it also eliminated
some fears of parents too because more anti
more students talk with their parents be-
fore rushing "

During rush week. Aug 2328. each frar
ternity tried to attract new members by of
ft-ring food and entertainment.

“When I rushed. I was looking fora fra-
ternity with good guys it ho had the same
goals as me .. I was not toncwrnwi about
the drinking issue." said Brian Baker. a

"We really didn't do anything different

And Greeks are optimistic about the fu-

its air service. the hospital said basing a heli-
copter in Jackson will cut down on the time it
takes to respond to calls for help in the most re-
mote parts of eastern and southeastern Ken-
tucky.

Kathy Stumbo. vice president and CEO at
Our Lady of the Way Hospital in Martin. Ky..
said the expanded service will boost medical care
in her area.

”All of the Lexington hospitals and the Hunt-
ington (W.V.) hospitals try to be very responsive
to our needs when we have a patient that needs
to be flown out." Stumbo said. “But by the heli-
copter being placed in eastern Kentucky, it can
only improve service.“

The new helicopter. which UK will lease for
$40,000 a month from Petroleum Helicopter Inc.,
is identical to the hospital‘s current helicopter.
which is to remain oncall around the clock at

Lawmakers say Clinton
needs to get serious

WASHINGTON — President Clinton should
stop his attorneys‘ “legal hairsplitting" with In-
dependent Counsel Kenneth Starr if he wants to
save his presidency. say lawmakers preparing to
sift through thousands of documents related to
Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky.

Several Democrats voiced hope Sunday that
they could work out an accommodation with
Clinton, possibly a vote of censure that would fall
short of impeachment. Other lawmakers, howev-
er. said impeachment hearings appeared in-
evitable.

Rep. Henry Hyde. R-Ill.. chairman of the
House Judiciary Committee that would conduct
the initial hearings. said he believed they were
necessary. “but I want to hear from everyone on
the committee.“

Other officials from both parties. speaking
on condition of anonymity. said it was increas-

Cartoon series on NBC
based on David Spade

LOS ANGELES —— NBC's first prime-time
cartoon series in more than three decades will be
loosely based on the dysfunctional childhood of
“Just Shoot Me" star David Spade.

Spade will provide the voice for the main
character and his father. The comedy, tentatively
titled “Peewee.” is targeted for broadcast in Jan-
uary 2000.

The series deals with Spade's early family life,
including his sporadic relationship with a ne’er-
dowell father who walked out when he was 6.

“David has had this show in his head for
many years. and that kind of personal vision usu-
ally makes for a great animated show,” said
Kevin Reilly, a vice president of Brillstein-Grey.
the producers.

NBC‘s last original primetime animated series
was “Famous Adventures of Mr. Magoo" in 1964.

Fox has had hits more recently with “The
Simpsons" and “King of the Hill."

Continued from paqel

selves to speak in French helps
me a lot." said Andy Cockrell, a
international economics fresh-
man. “As La Residence Fran-
caise grows it will be a better
experience for everybody.”

Adopted from other suc-
cessful ventures at universi~
ties around the country. La
Residence Francaise seeks to
make the learning experience
easy as well as fun.

“It gives students a place to
meet, to develop a sense of cul-
ture. and it is open to the com-
munity so that francophones
(people whose native language
is French) and francophiles
(people interested in speaking
French) can share their knowl-
edge and experiences." said Sa-
dia Zoubir-Shaw. associate
French professor.

Among the activities
planned are French cooking
classes. French movies and a
Mardi Gras celebration,
Zoubir-Shaw said.

 

La Residence Francaise is a
socially interactive learning at-
mosphere not found elsewhere
on campus. Cockrell said.

“In order to learn a lan-
guage you must do two things:
you must speak and have
fun," Carby said. “That‘s what
La Residence Francaise is all
about. We speak to one anoth-
er in French. We mess up. we
laugh but most importantly.
we learn.“

The official opening of La
Residence Francaise at Bland-
ing 1 was celebrated with an in—
augural party held last Friday.

About 40 people. including
department faculty and stu-
dents, attended.

All of them seemed to
have high expectations for the
program.

Currently there are six
people living at La Residence
Francaise. Cockrell. the only
male living there, said every-
one was getting along just fine.

La Residence Francaise is
scattered throughout the first
floor of Blanding I. Students
interested in speaking French
are invited to come by.

Drinking
up among
females

National reports say females
binge drinking more than ever

By Laura Janovich

i—H—E DAILV iiiitiutuu

MORGANTOWN. W.\'. - Some college
traditions are ageless: Eating pizza after mid-
night. Pulling alinighters before a big test.

But recent national reports about other
“traditions" , the guzzling of cold beers
with friends or getting so drunk you cannot
even find your dorm room are being seri»
ously examined for the long-term damage
they cause to drinkers and nondrinkers
alike.

Nearly half of all college students are
binge drinkers. Binge drinking is defined as
“the consumption of five or more drinks in a
row on at least one occasion.

At campuses across the nation binge
drinking among female students is on the rise

A new survey of college student drinking
recently completed by the Harvard School of
Public Health revealed several factors that
predict which students are most likely to be
binge drinkers.

Among the most important factors were
why more females in the last decade have be»
come binge drinkers. The most general reason
for percentage increase is due to more females
attending college. Sociologists feel that fe»
males are more likely to be binge drinkers
now than 10 years ago because it is more so-
cially acceptable. it is just not guys hanging
out in the bars anymore.

Research also found that members of
sororities are four times as likely to be binge
drinkers compared to other students.

Females that participate in college ath»
letics are almost one-andahalf times more
likely to be binge drinkers. Sociologist haw
found that female binge drinkers experience
at least five or more alcohol related prob
lems. Frequent female binge drinkers are
seven to 16 times more likely than non-binge
drinkers to miss class and get behind in
their schoolwork.

Studies show that binge drinking by fe
males is a factor in 66 percent of student sui-
cides and 60 percent of all sexually-transmit
ted diseases. including HIV. Twenty-six per
cent of women binge drinkers engage in un
planned sexual activity. and i5 percent do not
use protection when they have sex.

“date-rape" drugs are used to

“-3 Police, victim seek answers in Kappa Sigma

incident; DNA of all members to be tested

fey Stephen Spencer

' DAILY UMH CHRONICLE

SALT LAKE CITY — After
Jlittle cooperation from mem-
bers of a University of Utah fra-
ternity, police say they’re step-
lping up their investigation into
,a probable sex assault at the
fraternity house that may in-
volve “daterape” drugs.

“The only thing that I know
at this point is that there was a
group of boys locked in a room
with the victim while she was
naked," said Salt Lake Police
llet. Heather Stringfellow, who
is assigned to the case. “I be-
lieve people in the fraternity
know who these guys were, but
.are choosing not to tell."

I Kappa Sigma President
‘Jason Ellis assured Stringfel-
low they would cooperate ful-
ly but “that’s not been the

case," she said.

“People involved have failed
to return phone calls and give
statements as promised,"
Stringfellow said. “Since these
Kappa Sigma fraternity mem-
bers have chosen not to cooper-
ate, I'm left with no choice but to
subpoena each member to take a
blood sample and a statement.“

The samples can be used to
match DNA to any seminal flu-
ids on the clothing or body of
the victim. Test results will be
back by the end of the week,
Stringfellow said.

Police are also testing for
the presence of “date rape"
drugs like rohypnol (known as
roofies) and gamma hydroxy
butyrate, which goes by the
street name “Liquid X," accord
ing to Sgt. Don Bell of the Sex
Crimes Division.

The crime of rape becomes
a federal offense if so-called

help impair the victim.

Stringfellow said she might
press charges under the state
rape statute as early as this
week.

The Daily Utah Chronicle
reported Wednesday that an 18-
year-old Utah student went to a
party at the Kappa Sigma house
Friday, Sept. 4, but can only re-
member waking up late the next
morning in a car and then in
the fraternity house with a
stranger’s clothes on.

The Chronicle published a
police source' statement that a
sexual assault had occurred.

The woman did not remem-
ber enough to say if she had
been assaulted, Stringfellow
said.

For the victim's version of
events, please see her letter to
readers published on this page.

In the letter, the victim
talks about how she mixed her
own drinks and did not accept a
beer from anyone at the party.
as far as she remembers.

The Chronicle reported that

Stringfellow and the letter say
although she had apparently
asked for one, she didn’t drink it.

Stringfellow said police are
not charging the victim with
underage drinking.

“It doesn't matter how intox-
icated someone is — if she’s im-
paired, she cannot give consent
and under the statute, that's still
rape," Stringfellow said.

The victim’s letter talks
about drinking going on up-
stairs “because of the cops."

One fraternity member
who was at the party said there
was no drinking.

Police assigned to the party
said there was drinking and that
wristbands were used where
they were, Stringfellow said.

The police had been hired
by the fraternity, she said.

They were apparently not
allowed upstairs and left at
about 12:30 am. The next morn-
ing, Stringfellow said.

This is about the same time
the victim lost her memory, she
said.

 

Rutgers student abducted from home

Eight others robbed in residence hall tops
night of surprise and terror at college

By Louis C. Hochniaii
DAILY IARGUM

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ.
- Residents of the Raritan
Gardens apartment complex
remain shaken following the
Thursday night robbery of
eight people and the abduc—
tion of one —- a 22-year-old
university student — from
her Paulus Boulevard home.

The robbery began when
a man held a gun to the head
of the female university stu-
dent as she got out of her car
in one of Gardens parking

lots, Sgt. Tom Selesky of the
New Brunswick Police De-
partment said.

The robber then forced
the student into her apart‘
ment, where he tied up four
people in the apartment and
took an indeterminate
amount of money and jewel-
ry.

Three other people en-
tered the apartment and the
robber herded them into the
bedroom, Selesky said.

He said the robber forced
the student into her room-
mate‘s car. in which he drove

her to the ATM at the Rutgers
Student Center on the College
Avenue campus to withdraw
cash from the student’s ac-
count.

Unable to retrieve any
money, he drove into
Franklin Township where he
used a pay telephone.

After completing his call,
he drove to the corner of Liv-
ingston Avenue and Eliza-
beth Street, where he left the
car and headed toward North
Brunswick on foot, Selesky
said.

The student, who was un-
injured physically in the rob-
bery, drove down Livingston
Avenue until she found a po-
lice officer.

Police expect to have a
composite sketch of the rob-

ber today.

One neighbor of the stu-
dent, a Bloomfield College
student who did not want to
be identified by name, said
the robbery has made her feel
nervous about coming home
from school late at night.

“I usually have to walk
through the parking lot late
at night," she said.

“Now I‘ll probably be
running though the parking
lot."

She said in the two years
she has lived in the apart-
ments, she has had very little
reason to be afraid, but a few
individuals who moved in re-
cently made her nervous.

“I wouldn‘t be surprised
if it was one of them or one of
their friends," she said.
