Page 2-The Michigan Daily- Thursday, September 17, 1992 What it means The new sexual assault bill of rights includes: E The right to a full and prompt investigation and evidence collection by university personnel. * The right to mental health or other counseling services provided on campus. N The right to secure alternative housing or transfer of classes if requested by the victim to avoid unnecessary contact ~with the alleged assailant. 4 The right to have sexual assaults committed against students investigated and adjudicated by constituted criminal and civil authorities. }_ BILL Continued form page 1 lose their state financial aid packages if they did not comply with these guidelines, according to a pending companion bill. "We need to get this bill passed," said U-M graduate and sexual as- sault survivor Rosanne Wild. "Women need information on where they can go and what they can do for themselves." U-M Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center (SAPAC) di- rector Debra Cain said the center is in full support of legislation that en- sures the rights of victims. She said many of the provisions in the bill - such as the right to counseling services on campus - are already provided by the U-M and that the existence of SAPAC is a credit to the university. However, she said while she is impressed with what SAPAC has done, there is always room for im- provement. "SAPAC is one of the landmark programs of its type," she said. "But that doesn't mean we couldn't use more money for further outreach and publicity." If Cain could ask for one thing from the U-M, she said it would be another professional counselor at SAPAC. She said Kata Issari - presently the only counselor - is spread thin by the seven to 10 stu- dents who come to the center for help each month. Wild agreed that responsibility extends beyond a counseling center. "It is a wonderful organization, but (the U-M) hides behind SAPAC," she said. Director of Planning and Communication Shirley Clarkson defended the administration's sup- port of SAPAC. "SAPAC is a priority and has been given very strong support since its beginning," Clarkson said. In addition to supporting SAPAC, Clarkson said the U-M is fighting sexual assault by training campus security officers to handle sexual assault situations. Furthermore, Clarkson said the proposed Statement of Students' Rights and Responsibilities will help because it deals with peer harass- ment. However, Cass criticized the statement's policy that a student ju- diciary be responsible for determin- ing guilt. "Isn't it the university's respon- sibility? I feel the university is con- tinually passing the buck," she said. The requirements set forth in the state bill are not new ones to Michigan colleges and universities. The federal government has passed three separate laws - each of which threatens a withholding of funds - to set provisions regarding sexual assault such as holding hear- ing procedures. Clarkson said that, while she welcomes the fact that each campus implements the law as it deems ap- propriate, it becomes difficult when the government threatens to restrict funds. However, Cain said this aspect of the laws serves as an "important re- inforcement for awareness of sexual assault on campuses" since it is un- likely that many colleges and uni- versities would take the initiative on their own. Both the Michigan Collegiate Coalition - a statewide student lob- bying group - and the Michigan Conference of the National Organization for Women endorsed the proposed legislation. If passed, the bill would go into effect on Jan. 1, 1993. SPILL Continued from page 1 The U-M will also remove some tiles in the medical building where the substance could not be ade- quately removed. Radioactive chemicals will not be used in the labs until staffers can be instructed on how to handle them safely. The U-M's Radiation Safety Service and its Radiation Policy Committee will investigate the spill. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission sent three members to the U-M Tuesday to oversee the cleanup and conduct surveys of their own. They will issue a report in sev- eral weeks, Strasma said. 01 Phi Sigma Kappa 1873 r DAILY ARTS SEZ: Support Campus Cinema Are you ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT THE U OF M?

"Everyone has committed themselves to raise that money and we will." Harrison said he thinks $1 billion is a realistic goal. "I think that it's in the Michigan tradition to go for the best and I think we set our sights high and I think we can achieve it," Harrison said. Roberson said U-M has one of the largest living alumna popula- tions, more than 350,000, from which to appeal for donations. "I think we have a large untapped potential in terms of numbers and we have as good a commodity in higher education to put on the market as any university in the country," Roberson said. Administrators agreed that the economic future of the university is largely dependent on the campaign. "Bleak is not accurate, but any real possibilities of keeping this a top university are going todepend on how well we can do on the cam- paign," Harrison said. Administrators said they did not expect the recession to adversely af- fect donations. "It hasn't hurt us too badly yet," Roberson said. "If we've done this well in two years in a bad economy we will certainly push to make the rest of the goal." Roberson said it was not unusual for the U-M to start its fund-raising efforts two years before the begin- ning of the official campaign. "The theory is to have one-third (of the goal) in before the official announcement and we announce Friday what our two year total is. It will be in excess of $280 million," said Roberson. 'The campaign is a key component of the things we have to do to stay strong.' - Gilbert Whitaker Provost Although there is a general plan for the billion dollars, Harrison said donors of large amounts generally stipulate where their donations should go. "At the moment it is hard to say what we will be able to raise money for and what we won't," he said. Whitaker said, "The combination of our needs and the donors interests determine where the actual gifts will go. I can't say how we will hit it but the things we're most committed.to, we'll find a way to do." The U-M has had two large fund- raising efforts in the past: the "55M" campaign of 1964 and a Campaign for Michigan, launched in 1983, that raised $187 million. * 0 Cambridgej .-j- 4t N O BOOK NOW FOR BEST FARES BOERSMA TRAVEL MICHIGAN UNION MALL 663-7575 Phi Sigma Kappa 1043 Baldwin 662-0385 ___________________________________________________________ I I GORE Continued from page 1 economic position it's in now. Gore toured several classes at the technology center, including a culinary arts class. He then moved to a machine shop class, where he pro- grammed a tool-and-die machine to stamp out a Clinton-Gore '92 sign. He praised the technology center, a job-training partnership of gov- ernment and business, and said he and Clinton planned to expand 2-year apprenticeship programs na- tionwide for high school graduates who choose not to go to college. Gore said they also want to change the way students repay col- lege loans, by taking money out of paychecks gradually or by asking graduates to accept low-paying community service jobs for a year or two. "Before today, I thought I'd be voting for Bush, but I've changed my mind after hearing (Gore)," said student Nolan Wright, 23, of Grand Rapids. "What he said about the job market and apprenticeship programs really makes sense." Gore's visit to Grand Rapids, tra- ditionally a Republican stronghold, was the first by either candidate on the Democratic ticket. Bush and Vice President Dan Quayle have appeared frequently. In 1988, against Michael Dukakis, Bush won 62 percent of the vote in Kent County. "I think we'll damage Bush seriously," said John Sciamanna, chairman of the Kent County Democratic Party. "There's no way he'll get 60 percent this time." 01 The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms by students at the University of Michigan.Subscriptions for falVwinter terms, starting in September via U.S. mail are $155.
