TOWSON, MD-College campuses,

Dennis Draughon's appearance be-
lies his character-and his art. The
neatly trimmed beard and short hair
suggest a mild character. The usual
coat and tie he wears might even sug-
gest a conservative. The political car-
toons he draws for the Technician,

year-old cartoonist and Barefoot Press

ney general for the state of West Virgi-
nia, was one of a dozen experts on cam-
pus crime who spoke at the National
Conference on Campus Violence, held
at Towson State U., near Baltimore, in
January.
The conference, which was attended
by about 150 campus police chiefs,
deans of student life and residence hall
directors, detailed a national crime sur-

vey of 764 colleges and universities.
The survey, which was conducted by
Towson State U., showed that:
20 percent of the schools polled re-
ported an increase in murder, rape, rob-
bery and assault.
42 percent reported sexual assaults
on their campus and 22 percent re-
ported one or more rapes. '
Only 20 percent of campus crimes are
perpetuated by non-students.
There were no major differences in
