Page 2-- The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, November 19, 1985 Students plan to incr By BECCA LEVY Several student groups plan to in- crease student awareness about the problem of sexual assault by spon- soring workshops and handing out in- formation this week. Student members of the Women Safety Task Force will hand out 5,000 whistles to women on the Diag today in an effort to increase the awareness of rape. THE TASK force, a part of the Public Interest Research Group in Michigan, will also hand out 8,000 gold tags to both men and women. The tags explain how to use the whistles and who to call when the whistles are heard. Also tomorrow the Michigan Student Assembly's Women's Issues Committee will sponsor a "Sexual Awareness Day for Men and Women." The theme will be date and acquaintance rape. Students will give out 1,000 "No means No" buttons and several flyers near the Diag addressing the ways both men and women can reduce the high number of acquaintance rapes among students. AT NOON and 12:55 p.m. tomorrow, LSA senior Pam Shore, who has a brown belt in karate, will demon- strate how women can best defend themselves in stranger and acquain- tance rape situations. "I show women that if they are ever attacked, men have certain vulnerable spots they can aim for such as his eyes, nose, and knees," Shore said. Women's Issues Committee Chair- woman Debbie Kohnstamm said one of the top priorities is to "increase awareness that sexual assault is a crisis that affects men as well as women." EDUCATION ABOUT the preven- tion of rape will hopefully occur every day of the week beginning January 1 ease rape , when the new director of the Univer- sity's Center for the Prevention of Sexual Assault begins work. Today the eight member selection committee for the center's director will interview its second of four finalists. Residential College junior Pam Kisch, a member of the selection committee, expects the new director will be chosen in the next two weeks. THE $75,000 budget for the center was approved last spring. According to Housing Program Director Marvin Parnes, also a mem- ber of the selection committee, the center will be a centralized place to gather data on sexual assault and will coordinate sexual assault programs that students presently have to go "all over the map" to find. "Of course the new director will need to address some obvious campus needs like education and counseling ATTENTION STUDENTS SAVE 20% On all Michigan Daily Classified Ads with Student I.D.

KISCH FEELS putting the center in the Michigan Union is one of the most important aspects because "it will be a symbol of how serious the issue of rape has become.". Meanwhile, PIRGIM and MSA are organizing their own escort service which will service Betsy Barbour, Helen Newberry and West Quad residence halls. All three are not covered by the Nite Owl route. Currently, the 55 students who volun- teered to escort in tag team shifts of two women or a man and a women are being extensively interviewed. "If all goes well the escort service will begin January 1," says LSA Junior Amy Simon. ABOUT 30 protestors flooded the of- fice of Henry Johnson, vice president of student affairs, after the January issue of Detroit Metropolitan Magazine quoted him as saying "Given the current (financial) climate, I just don't see something labeled 'rape prevention clinic' or of- fice as necessarily germane to the mission of the institution. That's a cold thing to say but it's so." He later claimed the article quoted him out of context and also misquoted him. The sit-in was a catalyst for the formation of the center and the in- creased effort toward increasing awareness about rape. "I'm really pleased with the establishment of the center. It proves the administration is really concerned with the women's safety. But there is still a lot to be done," Kohnstamm said. For example, she and the other 45 members of the MSA's Women's Issues Committee and the 30 mem- bers of PIRGIM's Women Safety Task Force are still working for better lighting, faster repairs of broken lights, and an increased Nite Owl bus route which would serve some of the off-campus students. 4 IN BRIEF $30.00 OFF All 14K $40.00 OFF All 18K Gold Gold Rings Rings COMPILED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS AND UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS 4 PLO hijackers convicted GENOA, Italy - Four Palestinians accused of hijacking the Achille Lauro cruise ship were convicted with a fifth man yesterday on charges of illegal possession of arms and explosives. Three of the defendants said in written statements read in court that aides to PLO official Mohammed Abbas delivered the weapons used in the hijacking. Abbas has denied the allegation. The court ordered prison terms ranging from four to nine years for the five. They face trial at a later date on charges of kidnapping and mur- dering Leon Klinghoffer, an American passenger aboard the Italian cruise liner during the Oct. 7-9 ordeal. The United States has accused Abbas of masterminding the hijacking. A panel of three judges convicted the five men after hearing testimony in the morning. There was no jury. The judges deliberated for two hours and 20 minutes before announcing the verdicts. The five defendents, in handcuffs and blue jeans, were brought into the gymnasium-sized courtroom and divided among three metal-barred cages. We will defend with our blood and soul our country," they chanted in Arabic while waving victory signs through the bars of their cages. Col. military to shoot looters BOGOTA, Colombia - Soldiers patrolled the town of Armero with or- ders to shoot looters who roamed the sea of mud, stepping on the injured in their haste to rob the dead, officials said yesterday. Five more survivors were found, including a 7-year-old boy, according to rescue workers interviewed by the Colombian radio chain RCN. Colombia's health minister said two cases of typhoid fever had been reported in the Andes valley farming town destroyed by a last week's volcanic eruption. He said the area would be fumigated to kill flies that carry the disease but the operation would not interfere with rescue operations. Officials say about 25,000 people were killed when the Nevado del Ruiz volcano erupted last Wednesday, melting part of its snowcap and sending a 15-foot-high wall of mud down the Langunilla River that buried Armero. Victor Ricardo, president of the government emergency committee, told Caracol radio he had reports of looting in the devastated area. He said Col. Rafael Horacio Ruiz was appointed mayor of Armero and its outlying districts and told to restore order. Waite briefs U.S. officials on efforts to free hostages LONDON - Church of England troubleshooter Terry Waite briefed U.S. officials yesterday on his efforts to free American hostages from their Moslem captors in Lebanon and said he would return to pursue his mercy mission. "I am going back to Beirut because I believe there is still hope," Waite told reporters outside Lambeth palace after reporting to Archbishop of Canterbury Robert Runcie. "And that is the message I think I could give to the families of the hostages at this stage. While we're talking, I'll keep the momentum going," said Waite, who returned to London on Sunday after a five-day mission to Beirut. A spokesman for Runcie announced that Waite, who said he had built up "a measure of trust" with the hostages' captors, would fly to Paris yesterday night and to Beirut today. 0 0 I , 0 JOSTENS C, Stop by week to and see save on a Jostens representative this the gold ring of your choice. tV vI *'V .'V v 51YEARS9 MORE THAN A BOOKSTORE Wednesday Nov. through Friday Nov. 22nd 11 a.m.-4p.m. 20th / J V .:\ v t Am T.M.

I Americans, Vietnamese begin search for MIAs HANOI, Vietnam - Village children lined the road yesterday and wat- ched a gum-chewing U.S. soldier drive a tractor to the excavation site at Yen Thuong village on the outskirts on Hanoi, where remains of U.S. air- men may be buried. In an unprecedented joint search, American and Vietnamese military men are to begin digging today for remains of the airmen, who the Viet namese say bombed their cities 13 years ago. Workers tore down a brick kitchen building so Sgt. Michael Dixon and his 7 -ton tractor could enter the village. The tractor, water pumps, metal detectors and other equipment arrived yesterday aboard a U.S. Air Force C-141 transport plane. Air Force Capt. Virginia Pribyla, spokeswoman for the U.S. team, said a short ceremony today would mark the start of the dig. She said U.S. experts would use metal detectors to determine where and how far to dig. After the tractor clears the upper layer of earth, workers with hand shovels will probe for what the Vietnamese say may be the wreckage of a B-52 and the remains of four crew members, she said. 9 rioters killed in S.

The two-day wave of violence brought the death toll in a 14-month black uprising against the white minority government's policies of apartheid, or racial segregation, to more than 850. The worst of the unrest occurred Sunday at Queenstown, a farming community about 550 miles south of Johannesburg where officers fired shotguns into black crowds hurling gasoline-bombs and stones, authorities said. Police said five people were killed. In another development yesterday, Mrs. Mandela, wife of jailed African National Congress leader Nelson Mandela, defied a government order to return to exile in Brandfort and remained in Johannesburg. 11 i Vol XCVI - No. 54 The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967 X) is published Monday through Friday during the Fall and Winter terms.
