UMC students score well on rape quiz Editor's note: This infonnation

was compiled by Patty Hanson,

Health Services Coordinator,

and Don Beidler, UMC student.

Date Rape Awareness Week was held on campus early in January.

One of the activities included a Rape Awareness Questionnaire for students ana faculty· to find out what they knew about date rape.

Patty Hanson, Health Services Coordinator and Dr. Don Beidler, a UMC student, compiled the results to the survey.

There were 105 responses with the results printed below. Each question is followed by the correct answer. The numbers listed are percentages, reflecting the answers given by those UMC students and faculty who completed the questionnaire.

1. The prime motive for rape is uncontrollable sexual desire.

True 39% False /i1%

Correct Answer: FALSE Uncontrollable sexual desire is NOT the prime motive for rape. Rape is an act of power, control and humiliation against another person and often is planned in advance by the rapist

1. Women are usually raped by strange men in dark alleys or some other outdoor place.

True 8% False 91%

Correctan�r: FALSE On college campuses over 80% of the victims know their attacke·r. And nearly 60% of rapes occurred on dates with 50% of these happening either at the victim's or the attacker's home.

3. The majority of rapes occur at night.

True 53% False 4 7%

Correct answer: FALSE According to statisticians and researchers, rape happens evenly throughout the 24 hour day and not exclusively at night. 4. Rape is a natural part of all societies.

True 1 7% False 73%

Co"ectan�r:FALSE This is a tricky question. As a society becomes more patriarchal (male dominated), the incidence of rape increases. In an "enlightened" American society rape- should not occur often - but it does!

UMC Ne�s Cruel school rule: no more pool

Eric Sorenson Staff Writer

In case you haven't heard, the UMC pool has been shut down. Why?

Every school year, UMC dishes out over $ 16,000 to run the pool. Yet, swimming classes were often being canceled due to lack of participation and a low population generally passed through the pool.

It took just one more very expensive factor to close the doors, a $75,000 "overhaul." That's what it was going to cost to replace and repair many of its original 1930 parts that are now

Rape, continued from Page J

5. Most rapists are psychotic and/or perverted.

True 28% False 72%

Correct answer: FALSE Most rapists are tested psychologically and reported to be "normal." But they do test positive for having higher tcndencies to be angry or aggressive. Most rapists are young ( 18-24 years old) and married or in a relationship.

6. A hospital is not required to report rape cases to the police.

True 36% FaL .. e 64%

Correct answer: TRUE This answer varies from state to state. Rape victims should be strongly encouraged to have a hospital exam whether or not hey are planning to prosecute the rapist to check for possible pregnancy or diseasc.

7. Many women who were raped were asking for it; probably because of the way they were dressed"-suggestLVe1;.

True 10% False 90%

Correct answer: FALSE Again, rape is often planned in advance, so suggestive dressing would not cause rape.

(or were) running on their last leg.

UMC officials felt that for the amount it was being used, and for the amount it was going to cost to fix it, and maintain it, the money would be better spent in other areas.

It would be cheaper to rent time from the Crookston Pool, and set up transportation to and from it, than it would to fix and maintain UMC's pool.

Ideas on what to do with the pool area are still undecided, but it doesn't sound like it will reopen.

8. Rape victims are responsible for legal fees in court cases.

True 31% False 69%

Correct answer: FALSE The district attorney's office will

. bring a victim's case to court, so there are NO legal fees. If any harm can be proven (using the results from a hospital exam), there can often be a large monetary settlement.

9. The most common type of rape are inter-racial, i. e. a white woman raped by a black man.

True 10% False 90%

Correct answer: FALSE In 93% of all rape cases both the man and the woman are of the same rac�.

10. The problem of rape is not prevalent on college campuses.

True 7% False 93%

Correct answer: FALSE Ms. Magazine reported that nearly one out of four female college students were victims of rape or attempted rape.

11. You can be sure a person has been raped when he/she becomes hystericaL

True 11% False 89%

Compiled by Bill Thielke, Staff Writer

Correct answer: FALSE The response to rape varies greatly. The victim can be withdrawn, quiet, angry, and yes, sometimes even hysterical.

12. One in four women will be . raped during her lifetime.

True 86% False 14%

Correct answer: . TRUE

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) statIstICS report about one in four women will be raped during their lifetime.

13. If a man is . sexually aroused, he "can't stop. "

True 10% False 90%

UMC New-s University-of Minnesota newsfrom U to you � Student financing proposal from the Higher Education Coordinating Board (HECB), to increase tuition at public higher education institutions in order to provide additional student aid, was unanimously opposed by the regents last week.

The amended HECB proposal now recommends an increased state appropriation as the preferred source of funds, but failing that, would call for cutting programs or increasing tuition at the public systems.

President HasSelmo said the result of program cuts for U students would be what Garrison Keillor has described as "subjecting them to a mediocre educatIon" and "letting public education slide."

� The University Senate Committee on Finance and Planning also unanimously passed a resolution opposing the HECB proposal.

Among the reasons: the proposal would represent a transfer of funds from the public to the private institutions.

The U would be hit with a "double whammy" because HECB aid is available only to undergraduates but the entire U tuition base would be increased (including graduate and profesSional education).

� An employment-oriented model for a bachelor's degree, now proposed for Crookston, raises questions for other

Chancellor Sargeant's other career: weight reduction specialist?

Michelle Runyon Staff Writer

If being the chancellor for UMC doesn't pan out for Don Sargeant,. he could look into a possible job opportunity as a weight reduction specialist.

According to a "Discover" test, taken at the placement office in Bede Hall, this is just one of the many job opportunities in which Sargeant could look into.

Don Cavalier, director of the Counseling and Career Center, said the "Discover� test - a computer approach to career planning - is one of the many tests students can take when planning for their future career. Other tests include interest inventories, and a self-concept inventory. "

Other related tests check your problems related to depression, alcoholism and managing finances. The Center also administers the G.E.D., a high school equivalency test.

Cavalier said that 65% to 68% of incoming freshman at UMC indicated they wanted

help with planning their career, yet less than one-fourth of these students seek help through the Center.

In a recent Harvard study, 85% of working people said they were unhappy with their job or wanted to change jobs. What is happening?

According to Cavalier, students make better· career decisions when they "know" themselves, and it's easier to plan for a career when you know where your interests are.

Students should plan for their future in areas in which there is interest, ability and aptitude, said Cavalier. "But whatever you decide for your future it is still necessary to keep an open and flexible mind in case you do change careers in the future. "

For more information or to find out more about tests to help you learn more about yourself, contact Don Cavalier in Bede Hall. For counseling services contact Don Cav8Iier or Laurie Wilson, also in Bede Hall.

campuses, Hasselmo told the Faculty Consultative Committee (FCC).

"A new type of bachelor's degree seems to be needed," he said, and especially in areas of technology and health sciences.

FCC members said the idea is exciting and in line with a national trend. Member, Jim Tracy, said he is excited by the new model, but he underlined the need to rethink and continue to promote the liberal arts model.

� The quarter system will continue at the U for at least the next five years, President Hasselmo told the Senate Consultative Committee (SCC).

He said he has been "a mild proponent" of semesters himself but became convinced that now is not the time "to impose a major logistical change."

The cost would run into the millions, he said, and the work load would be "horrendous. " The decision is not "for time , and eternity, "Hasselmo said, but he called for a five-year moratorium on discussing the issue.

� The University Commission on Women announces a Special Grants Program to support projects to improve and enhance the working and learning' environment for U women.

The Commission encourages proposals for a range of projects including, but not limited to, events, publications, speakers' series, curriculum change, and workshop, program, or conference planning.

Projects that recognize diversity on campus and bring together faculty, staff, and students are particularly encouraged.

Application deadline is February 23, 1993. Call Jessica Morgan at (612) 626-8780.

Lyle Lee Staff Writer Editor's note: Staff writer, Lyle Lee, recently interviewed Eugene Vorobiev, an international student from Moscow, Russia, studying at UMC.

Q. What do you hear lately from back home? A. Well, today I was watching Russian TV news on C-Span and learned a lot. Q. Have you talked to any family lately? A. Sometimes my mom calls me. Sometimes I call my mom. Q. Do you have any brothers and sisters? A. No. I'm only one, only child. Q. Where are you originally from? A. Kaliningrad. Before the second world war, it was part of Germany and after the second world war, when the Russians won, they took part of Germany. They deported all Germans back to Germany. Q. SO how does American culture compare to Russian culture? A. American culture is not a big surprise because we hear about American culture all our lives. We have lots of American music in Russia. Q. How do you respond to former-president Ronald Reagan's having referred to the Soviet Union as the evil empire? A. I remember this because when we hear about America, it's that America is the most imperialistic country in the world. Q. What about expansionism and Afghanistan?

A. We just helped the people. That is, the people asked us to help them. This was during a time when we didn't have any other information. Only Russian information and people believed it because there was no other public opinion. Q. In retrospect, what do you think about it? A. During the last year of the war, I was 16 and I was afraid I might have to go to this war. A couple of my friends were killed in this war and the young people don't understand why we should go.

It was like a political game because of� Realpolitik, because the Russian government told us if we don't help Afghanistan, we would have another enemy country along our border. Q. SO most Russians didn't like the United States or they didn't have a high opinion of it? A. People have an opinion about the U.S. government. We never think about the American people because we know America was imperialistic country so we just denounce the American government. Same as you think about the Communist party. You don't think about the Russian people that are involved. Sometimes we took part in big political game, but we are still people.

I remember first time 1 met an American in Moscow. It was, for me, like meeting a person from another world. Q. SO were you pretty excited when McDonald's came to Russia? A. First time, yes.

Q. Did you wait in line? A. Usually, not me. I'm not so stupid to stand in line. Usually I will jump the line with my friends because if you stand in

line, you WIll stand lor a very long time. Q. Do you think American cinema is better than Russian cinema? A. American cinema is more commercial. They want to make money. And sometimes in Russia they now try to make some commercial movies by a couple of real good producers. Q. Otherwise the movies were more artistic before the revolution? A. Yes. Now they try to make more commercial movies because they try to make money. I like commercial movies too. I like comedy, action. But sometimes I really like to watch intelligent movies when I want to think about things.

You know, the movie "Amadeus"? I thought it was a commercial movie, but it was really an intelligent movie. It changed my opinion about Mozart.

I think now it's more difficult to find Russian movies in Russia with Russian dialogue or Russian theme. Q. Did you ever see a Russian movie. about this girl who is involved with two men, and her father is an alcoholic? It was released in the U.S. about four or five years ago. A. "Little Vera." Yes. It was, I think, one of the first real movies about our real life in Russia. About sex, about people like Vera, about alcoholism. It was a real Russian family in real-life relationships.

This movie was some kind of culture shock in Russia. Everybody knows about the truth, b\!t nobody talks about it. Q. Just another piece of Peristroika, I guess? A. Yeah. It was some kind of freedom. Page ::;

! Michelle Runyon Staff Writer

The administration at UMC tells you they are "student friendly" - in fact they pride thcmselvcs in it.

But do all the faculty and slafT practice what is preached?

According to several studcnts I interviewed, the answer in some cases is "No."

Most students, said that their instructors and faculty will Iistcn to their concerns and questions, And some of the faculty or staff may even do somcthing about these concerns. But there are staff who are considered by students to be "totally student unfriendly."

One student I interviewed had received a deficiency in a tough class. The student was extremely concerned and went straight to the instructor to find out how shelhe could do better.

The student said he/she had

II attended every class thllS far,

II paid attention to lectures, did all ': homework assignments, read I,

When the student talked to the instructor, however, shelhe said that they were horrified by the ;nstructor's response. The student said he/she was told that shelhe was getting a 70 percent in the class. Acq>rding to the student, the instructor chewed the student out for not doing better in class.

This doesn't !.<:em to be an isolated case - two other students told me a similar story about the same instructor.

Another student interviewed had questions about a notice they had gotten in the mail. When addressing a proper faculty member on who to ask about the questions, the student said the faculty member said in a rude voice, "this is not my department, ask someone else. "

The message from the students I interviewed is that we're not asking for miracles. We are only asking that faculty and staff be courteous and treat us like the human beings that we are. I i the book, and took notes,

Hey Fred! You're cool Michelle Runyon Staff Writer

His trademarks are puppets, sneakers and sweaters.

His Nantucket retreat is decorated in early-American thrift shop.

He has spent the last 25 years on television talking with children and teaching them how to cope with life.

He sends many powerful messages to children and gets so little attention or rewards from the public. In fact, he's often laughed at.

Mr.· Rogers' Neighborhood, a show many of us college students have grown up with, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this month.

Mr. Fred Rogers never planned to be on television. He wanted to be a musician, � a minister 'or both. He studied music at Rollins College in Florida and planned to go to the Theological Seminary in Pittsburgh in the fall of 1951.

But over Easter vacation of that year, he got his first taste of television. He hated wl-.at he saw - a bunch of grown men throwing pies at each other. person in the world who likes us all just the way we are.

Mr. Rogers -- a profound man and a true real ·life hero. Happy 25th anniversary to Mr. Roger's Neighborhood.

Rogers thought that TV had potential for more productive things. So, Rogers took a new

path with his career.' He first got a job on the "NBC Opera Theater" in New York City, then he worked with two other shows, "Your Lucky Strike Hit Parade," and "The Kate Smith Hour."

Then in 1953 he left NBC to join the nation's first community-supported public television station. He wrote and produced "The Children's Corner."

In 1963, he started a 15-minute show in Canada, "Misterogers, ". The show then relocated to Pittsburgh and in 1967 the Sears-Roebuck Foundation funded the program and made it available to all public television stations,

Today, the show is br.oadcast on more than 300 stations and is watched by eight million households a week.

For those of you who laugh at such a different character, remember that he's never cheated on his wife, he's never been involved with any kind of scandal, he cares so little for possessions, and he teaches family values to our future -children.

Besides, he's made us feel like we are all special people and he may perhaps be the only person in the world who likes us all just the way we are.

Mr. Rogers -- a profound man and a true real life hero. Happy 25th anniversary to Mr. Roger's Neighborhood,

Letters to the Editor

More phones A concern I have about

, campus is that there are no 'phones outside of the donns. I feel that it is wise because of many various reasons.

First, I feel that it is a chore for a friend to sit and watch out the window for you to come so he or she can open the door.

Having a phone by the donns would also be proper for when you are walking back from the library at night. If you needed help in some way you would be able to run to a phone and be let in quickly.

Another reason for having a phone could be if you happen to lose your keys and you have

,no phone to call from. The only way you can get in is by knocking on a window of

someone close to let you in, which isn't fair for those people. They get disturbed all the time.

If there is an accident, and someone falls on 'the sidewalk and breaks ,a leg, it would be nice to have a phone to call for help. Even a more serious accident could occur than a broken leg. This campus isn't that large, but where would you go to call when the doors are locked without pounding on a window once again.

I have come up with various reasons for having a phone outside of our donns. I think it is a big concern and should be taken into consideration. '

UMC Sports Mighty Trojan cagers steaming along

Smokin 'Cerdon Johnson shoots for two.

Chad Seipkes Staff Writer

The men's basketball team was bus:{ over the Christmas break.

They traveled to Vermilion, (Minn.) to take part in the Northeast-Northwest Tourney. While there, they played against Vermilion, Gogebic and rival Northland. They came out of the tourney with two wins and one loss.

With things starting to heat up, the Trojans are getting ready for the new year by playing several conference games in January. Half of the games are conference games with three out of five on the road. In February there are five conference games with three being at home.

The mighty Trojans started the year out with a big win over long time . rival UND-Lake Region.

The Trojans will travel .to Moorhead to play Concordia JV, then to Devils Lake for another match up with UND­Lake Region before they start their conference schedule with Rainy River Community College.

Trojan women dunk Bottineau

The 1992-93 Trojan Women's Basketball Team

Kim Hassel Staff Writer

The UMC Women's Basketball game against NDSU­Bottineau (December 8) was a great example of the quality basketball the women Trojans have shown on the court.

The women played a strong defense. Sabrina Flatland's three-point shot started the women off. Ronda Olson also made a very nice three-point shot to bring the score to 16-12

The Trojans showed that they could work together well . The Trojans set up a great defense against the Lumberjacks that really paid off as the score rose to 35-24. UMC was very quick with their rebounds and steals. The women won the game 83-63.

Hoopster Jason Yutrzenka has already broken many UMC basketball records.

Variety Cafes and tabletalking Paul Carrier Staff Writer

For those who live in the residence halls and indulge in our lovely food - services and want a change of pace . . .you know, gounnet food, not pizza. Something like wholesome, freshly prepared meals with a full-service waitron servicing your every dining need.

Well, grab a little money and head east (yes, east!) to the quiet town of Mentor, Minnesota, to dine in elegance at Keith Ramberg's Le Page House.

Ramberg was coordinator of food services at UMC from 1970-1992. He decided to move on and start his own restaurant.

So I decided to check out this much-talked-about dining experience on a Saturday night in December. When I arrived I was amazed on how large this house was (yes, a house) and the wonderful Christmas decorations were tastefully arranged to match the decor.

When I walked in the door I was greeted by my waitron who had taken my coat from me and walked to my table and seated me.

Being a single diner I noticed the serious attention that I was given by that waiter. He quickly offered me the menu but it wasn't on paper. He recited all the selections to me, including barbecue beef ribs, (a house specialty), T-bone and rib-eye steak and a selection of fresh fish and poultry.

I selected the walleye pike, two large fillets, deep fried. After I selected my entree I was presented with a wonderful garden fresh ,green salad and homemade whole wheat bread and fresh homemade preserves to accompany it.

I was happy that my glass and coffee was always kept full and attended to. Then in about ten minutes, my main course was served to me - almost too soon as I was still working on my salad.

The walleye was appealing to the eye· and the plate presentation was excellent. The food was hot and served with the correct accompaniments.

As I was dining my waiter informed me of the history of the place and all of the antiques that go with the home, I won't tell you the rest, you'll just have to experience that for yourself.

Aaron Klein and Peggy Kruue were selected Ag-Arama

After I finished my main entree, which was tasty, moist, and hot and served with a baked potato and sour cream. For dessert, it was replaced with a cherry-topped creamed cheese cake that was so delicious with fresh brewed coffee, I felt like I was on top of the world.

The cheesecake is one of Ramberg's specialties carried over from UMC when I was a student in 1986.

The candlelight and tabletops were all set exclusively well to make for a special dining experienCe different from University food service.

My overall impression with Le Page House was an excellent dining experience with a homey, country touch of class. My waiter seemed like he attended the Cordon Bleu in France. The whole experience cost $10 (including tip).

On a scale of 1-10, I would give a 9-1/2 to one of northwestern Minnesota's "up and coming gourmet eateries.

Grab your coat and your hat and head out to downtown Mentor for a very inexpensive dining experience you'll remember for months.

Beating the used car blues: tips on finding a pre-owned vehicle

Paul J. Carrier Staff Writer

Most students that attend a university have the desire to own and operate their own car.

They soon find out the enonnous cost of maintaining and operating such a vehicle.

Most people would like a hot flashy car to be on the "up and up" on campus, and soon find out their bank account or parents can't afford the venture.

I'm going to give you a few points of advice, because I've own&! 25 used cars since 1 began driving in 1 98 1 .

During a short time i n my life I was involved with retailing pre-owned autos, mainly imports such as BMW's, Mazda's and Honda's.

Here are som« straight to the point ideas and ' concepts when shopping and purchasing a vehicle:

I) Determine your budget. Spend what you can afford and think practically. $2,500 is a good amount.

2) If you buy a car from a dealer you are going to pay from $ 1 ,500 to $2,000 more, to cover the dealer's expenses and sales commission.

3) Buy from someone you know or from an ad in the local Sunday paper such as The Forum of Fargo, The Grand Forks Herald, the Star Tribune •

or the Minnesota Auto Shopper.

4) Determine what types of features you consider most important and then shop for cars with those details. But be ' flexible - buying a used car isn't like ordering a new one from the lot.

5) When actually looking at a car bring a friend, or your parents to help you in your decision. It also makes the sell�r feel your not "stroking them."

6) Take the car for a test drive for about a half-hour, if anything will go wrong it' probably will happen in this test-drive.

7) Look at maintenance records to see what was serviced . QIl t1),C car. Look for oil change intervals, they should have been every 2,000 miles.

8) Check to see how many previous owners the car had by checking older maintenance records on the car. The best way to find this infonnation is to call the Minnesota division of driver vehiCle services and have them run the plate numbers off the vehicle to obtain the original owners name and address. Then you can talk to the original owner to find out the cars accurate history and track record.

9) If you can, take the car to your mechanic to check the car over. Have the mechanic perfonn a computerized scope­check on all of the mechanical systems. This usually costs about $50 and is well worth it.

10) When negotiating a final price try to offer 15-20% below the asking price especially if the car needs some mechanical work. Pay for the car with a, personal check to insure yourself. If something major goes wrong hours ' after you purchased the vehicle, you'll be able to return the car and cancel the check.

There are many more points I could give on purchasing. a I car, but it would take up this entire newspaper.

For further consumer information you can contact the Minnesota Attorney General's Office in St., Paul for a pamphlet on buying -' a us&f car in Minnesota. (Don't tell them I sent you). Good hick in finding your new pre-owned auto.

. "Non-traditional" students - - '

are a tradition at UMC Paul J. Carrier Staff Writer

Are you ever curious what it might be like to be in the real world, working a 40-hour week, owning a four bedroom house and a newer car?

Then what if you decide you are not satisfied with what you are doing in life, or just need more education to better yourself to get a much better paying job? Imagine you have never been to a college or university and you're older than 25 years old.

You are imagining yourself as a non-traditional student. "Traditional" st.udents are 1 8 to 24 years old, the age that most students attend college.

Being a non-tradition�1 student has a lot of advantages. They are usually more experienced with life's challenges. This includes work experience and exposure to the world and current issues.

I should know, for I am a "non-traditional student."

Returning to UMC was basically a culture shock for me after being in the business world for six years. I sometimes feel like I'm taking a large step backwards in life.

But really it's not. I'm at UMC to prepare for and obtain my bacheior's degree and then head back out into that wonderful world of ours, Most non-traditional students work a full-time job and attend part­time. I chose to give it all up and attend the university full­time and live in the residence halls,

Being a non-traditional student can be stressful. It's harder to meet students your own age and sort of blend in with the "social crowd."

If you have an open mind, however, and can try to relate simpl�r situations in life you can become a success; you can survive and be socially rewarded for your efforts.

If you have any items, letters or issues you would :ike addressed, please drop a line to UMC Box 990 I would be happy to look into them, Until next time .- . .
