Talk on rape prevention
attended by 800 here
BY PETER RUTLEDGE
Staff Writer
Frederic Storaska. expert on the
prevention of assault and rape,
lectured to an audience of 800 people
last night in Cone ballroom.
This lecture opened the 1974 Crime
Prevention Seminars. It was designed
to give men and women an
understanding of what rap is as well as
how to thwart an attack.
Storaska is the head of the National
Organization for the Prevention of
Rape and Assault.
Storaska's lecture had three major
points. He refuted misconceptions that
have arisen concerning rape and more
particularly rape prevention. He gave a
psychological profile of a rapist and
the motives behind rape. Finally he
outlined a program for dealing with
rape and assault should it occur.
Storaska maintains that certain
myths and misconceptions held by
society tend to encourage rape.
Among these myths is the idea that a
woman can not deal with rape. In fact
there are many ways in which a
woman can protect herself. However,
one must understand the nature of the
crime and the motivation behind the
rapist.
Storaska defined rape as forced
sexual intercourse. He emphasized-that
no woman should feel guilty if she is
laped. The definition of the crime
itself excludes any blame on the
woman's part.
A woman must recognize a rapist as
an emotionally disturbed human being
and not as some kind of monster.
Generally a rapist feels threatened and
rejected by women and therefore
interior to them. By degiading a
woman through rape a lapist can feel
superior to hei and to women in
general.
If a woman is attacked she should
neither struggle nor scream, since
doing either could lead to more
aggressive action on the part of the-rapist.
Storaska maintains that the
woman should stay calm and attempt
to communicate with her attacker. If
communication is possible the woman
should assume an inferior role since
this is what the rapist is trying to
achieve.
She should be extremely careful not
to antagonize the rapist. Storaska
recommended that the woman
cooperate with the rapist until she has

Pinehurst. N.C. - President Gerald
Ford made his first trip to the South
yesterday since assuming office. Ford's
trip was not to barnstorm for aspiring
political candidates, but to take part in
the dedication of the World Golf Hall
of Fame which opened here yesterday.
The President broke away from his
political problems to take in nine holes
of gold after the dedication
ceremonies. His speech was
anti-climatic after the events of the
week, many of those who came down
to Pinehurst were disappointed that
Ford talked only of gold, and made no
mentions of the pardon of former
President Nixon or of possible pardons
of other Watergate-related defendants.
Ford however, was not able to
completely forget the pardon. Among
the some four thousand spectators
were about 24 protestors carrying
signs such as "Amnesty" and "Free
the Canadian 50.000." The protestors,
who remained silent, moved through
the crowd waving their signs.
One protestor said that he came to
show his disappointment over Ford's
decision to pardon Nixon, while those
who had "refused to serve in Viet Nam
were still going to be tried for doing
something that their consciences
wouldn't allow."
Another protestor said that she
came "to show Ford that all of the
American people don't agree that the
crook |Nixon] should go free." She
added that Ford has succeded in
adding to the moral degradation of the
American system of justice and I think
that they should consider impeaching
him."
Also on hand for the dedication
were North Carolina political leaders
Governor Jim Holshouser and Lt. Gov.
Jim Hunt. Hunt remarked that he did
not think Ford's visit would have any
effect on the upcoming North Carolina
elections and quipped to newsmen
that he, as a democrat, was "in the
minority."
Ford, for the most part, took this
opportunity to relax from his duties.
In his remarks. Ford joked with the
audience about his golfing abilities. He
said that when he plays golf, "all of
the Secret Service men ... get combat
pay."
Many of the thirteen people
inducted into the Golf Hall of Fame
were present at the ceremonies. Ford
remarked that it was "almost like
being in golfer's heaven."

such professionals as Arnold Palmer,
Gary Player. Jack Nichlaus, and Patty
Berg. Ford outdrove Player and
Palmer, slamming the ball 220 yards
on the first hole. He finished the nine
holes with a 48.
Senate locks horns on wages

Complaints forum only drew six persons
BY JANELLE LAVELLE
Staff Writer
The present policy on salaries was
the subject; a three-hour debate was
the result as Senate attempted to wade
its way through the controversial
salary issue for the eighth time in four
years.
The result was yet another
temporary policy with an October 31
expiration date, by which time a
ten-member committee, assembled for
the fourth straight year, is mandated
to come up with some sort of payment
for media and SGA workers besides
through student funds.
The whole salary problem arose so
early in the semester because the
Student Aid Office has presented the
campus organizations with a
September 20 deadline for all payroll
lists, and has refused to follow the old
system of simple granting retroactive

Visions of hundreds of concerned,
informed students coming together
meet and exchange ideas with their
elected representatives on the pressing
problems and burning issues of the day
vanished as tl.e first Town Meeting of
the year got under way at EUC on
Monday night.
Including two members of the press
there were six people outside Cone
Ballroom to meet SGA President Jim
McAbee and SGA official Chuck
Melvin.
McAbee pointed out that he had no
illusions that many students would
show up for the meeting, which was
billed as a chance to tell SGA what is
<>n the minds of the average students.
This town meeting is "an
opportunity for students to come
gripe at us" in SGA. said McAbee.
Furthermore, the first meeting was an
attempt to get students familiar with
the idea of town meetings before a
controversy arises, which can then be
dealt with in the context of a mass
gathering to air student views.
Among the issues that McAbee
expects to be raised and to perhaps
become an issue of later meetings is
the dining hall with its long lines, the
new "seconds" policy, and the quality
of the food.
The head of the dining service.
SGA President Jim McAbee and concerned students.
Steve Bucko, will be the main
attraction of the next meeting,
according to McAbee. He said that
Bucko may be more susceptible to
direct student contact than to the
voice of the SGA officials who may go
to speak to him.
"Students must realize that
members of SGA are students
themselves." said McAbee. He pointed
out the problem of depending on
elected representatives to bear the
whole burden of airing students'
complaints to the administration or
the services.
Referring to last year's meal plan
referendum which had few voters.
Adult students receive grants
for part-time UNC-G undergrad study
PAM BLACKBURN
Staff Writer
Five adult students have been
granted S50 scholarships from the
funds of the Alumni Association to
take one or two courses at UNC-G,
according to Barbara Weiss in the
Office of Adult Students
Ms. Weiss indicated that the
committee which granted the
scholarships was chosen from the
Alumni Association and the Financial
Aid office.
The students granted scholarships
are undergraduates Karen de Haven,
Rita Hall, Nancy Hobach, Mike
McClean, and Sara Piephoff.
The idea of offering
continuous-education scholarships to
adult students was developed in 1971
in the now-defunct Continuing
Guidance Center. The plan was
originally aimed to assist women who
had jobs and families and needed
money for their part-time education.
However, those involved in
administering the program decided
that to concentrate on the women's
educational needs was not the proper
role of the school or of the alumni.
According to Ms. Weiss, the Alumni
Association plans to extend the
program as long as funds are
available. Adults who may wish to
begin or continue their education are
encouraged to apply.
McAbee said, "If you have a big
enough turnout, you can make them
do anything you want."
The referendum was the beginning
of a three-year contract with the
Dining service which was decided by
the minority of those on the meal plan
because or the apathy of students,
according to McAbee.
Two male students brought up the
issue of the visitation policy at the
meeting. Melvin pointed out that the
entire UNC system has the same basic-visitation
policy, but "UNC-G is the
only school who enforces the policy."
McAbee does not believe that there
will be a liberalization of the visitation
policy until there is a mass reaction
and movement of the students. Also
he asserted that the influence of the
alumni and parents is too strong in the
area to effect any radical change in the
near future.
SGA official Ben Sells agreed with
McAbee and further stated that SGA
was definitely not a block to the
liberalization of the visitation policy,
but that the administration from the
Chancellor to the President would not
be in favor of a change in the policy
now.
On the issue of salaries for SGA
officials. McAbee said, "I hope that
something will be put down on paper
this year about which offices do or do
not receive salaries ... I don't like the

idea of salaries being held over the
officials' heads."
The parking problem was briefly
raised, and the students discussed the
safety aspect which they feel that has
been ignored by some people in their
desperate attempts to park on campus.
When asked whether or not the
feeling of elitism in SGA which is also
felt by the students has been a factor
in the failure of students to become
involved or to talk with senators and
other officials and in the poor
attendence of the first town meeting.
McAbee admitted that there is some
elitism and isolation of the SGA. but
that the situation has improved this
year.
"I will make every effort to be seen
and available," said McAbee as he
spoke of the separation of SGA
officials in the past.
McAbee also thinks that there may
have been fewer complaints this year
to the SGA because "Either things
have calmed down or there is general
apathy."
Future town meetings will discuss
the laundry service with the head of
the service present to listen to
students' ideas and the bookstore with
the new head answering students'
questions, as well as the dining service.
The next town meeting is scheduled
for October 9, but there may be
another before that date.
pay to the student workers for the
September positions.
Computerization of the student
payroll system, according to Senate
President Cathy Krinick, is the reason
for the change. "The computer is
hungry," she said.
Although Appropriations
Committee is covered in the SGA
by-laws, they have to have their policy
approved each year by a 2/3 Senate
vote.
The problem Tuesday night was
caused in part by that regulation.
Neither deletion of salaries or
acceptance of them could muster the
required 2/3 vote; which is the reason
the compromise of keeping the old
policy for a six-week period was
finally approved.
Opposition for any salaries except
"clerical workers" was led by TS
Senator Ben Sells. A long-time
opponent of payment for "people who
volunteer their services, he based his
opposition on the fact that no one will
bother to find alternative methods of
