ouake* campus Volume T.YYTX. Number 17 v J P0t.n1.pv 9A 10Cao Volume LXXK, Number 17 February 25,1993 Tonight's Forum on Rape Addresses Male, Female Perspectives fry Camille Wilson QC Assistant News Editor This evening there will be a forum called, "For Women and Men: a Discussion on Rape," sponsored by the Culture and Education Committee (CEC), which is a division of Program Board. According to freshman Julie Malasaga, Health Director for CEC, the committee chose to sponsor a program on rape because it is an important issue that needs to be addressed on campus. "Rape is a very scary thing that destroys a person's life. (CEC) thought it was about time that Whittier had a comprehensive program aboutrape education and prevention," Malasaga said. The rape discussion will be led by Detective Tom Gehrs from the Campus Security department of Cal State Fullerton. "The interesting thing about Gehr's program is that he takes both the female and male standpoint of rape into consideration," Malasaga said. To deter the occurence of date and acquaintance rape, Gehr will also explain to men how to interpret signals from their partner or date. Malasaga said that he will emphasize that, "No means no." Gehr is scheduled to discuss several aspects of rape such as: the definition of rape and its different forms, how to prevent rape, the medical and legal rights of the victim, and the rights of options for an innocent suspect. Although rape is often regarded as a woman's issue, according to Malasaga, she said, "Rape is a two-way street. Men can be and are raped." She added, "When the subject of rape comes up, men usually feel alienated. The reason why we named the program what we did is so that they (males) will know that we want them to be a part of the education program." Gehrs is a recipient of the "Governor's Service Employee Award" for his efforts to educate students about rape prevention. The rape forum was organized with the assistance of the Student Counseling center. Malasaga stressed, "Rape victims need to know that the counseling center and Campus Safety are there for them and know how to help." Recent Storms Cause Minor Water Damage fry Alec Mackie QC News Editor While a series of storms caused property damage, flood problems, deadly traffic conditions and a state of emergency in the Southern California region, Whittier College buildings incurred only minor damage from leaking roofs, according to Jim Surwillo, the director of physical plant. Surwillo said the most costly damage from last week's storms was a tree that fell on the night ofFeb. 18 andknocked out power and cable TV service to the school-owned Thalian house for about four hours. Accordingto Surwillo, a contractor was paid $400 to remove the tree. Surwillo said he does not know how much the city will charge for damages, if any.

Gothold, who is also a professor of music, said he will return to being a full-time professor with the College. "I can't keep doing both jobs ... there are too many hours involved," he said. "I am also leaving based on my need to be a musician." Gothold was appointed to the position for a three-year term, with the idea that at the end of three years he would decide whether or not to continue as dean. With that term expiring at the end of this school year, Gothold met with President James Ash in January to make a decision about his position. On Feb. 15, Ash announced the members of the search committee at a faculty meeting. The committee includes ASWC president, junior Andy McDonald, and seniors Jennifer Buddemeyer and Erika Williams. McDonald said he was chosen because he is the ASWC president. He then chose the two other students on the committee. McDonald said he chose Williamsbecause of herinvolve- ment in many groups on campus. Buddemeyer was chosen in part because she is a residential advisor. Gothold, who will be chairing the committee, said that although the committee has not officially met, the administration has taken steps to solicit applications.

The school is also working with the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA), which has publications and services that assist in finding college life personnel. There will be a NASPA convention during the third weekend of March which Gothold will attend in order to meet prospective candidates. According to Gothold, this is a "hot time" when potential candidates are looking for job openings. The committee will meet within the next few days in order to gain consensus on a job description and certain qualities that the committee is looking for, he added. Gothold said the administration wants to increase the number of minority administrators, but the committee is looking for the person most capable and qualified. McDonald said, "I think the dean should work (in the interest of) the Whittier College community. They should have student concerns first."
