THIS DAY In Daily History 'U' opens new residence hall for law students Sept. 23, 1924 - With all living accommodations for 158 students filled, the University's Lawyers' Club and Residence Hall opened its portals to the men of the Law School over the weekend. The first building constructed for the Lawyers' Club consisted of a main club room, a huge dining hall and a three- story residence hall divided into nine sections. The main entrance to the new build- ing, which cost more than $2 million to construct, faced South State Street. The hall could accommodate more than 300 people in the dining hall, and ® all law school students were allowed to A CURIOUS PARADOX SAPAC Continued from page 1A When a survivor calls the Crisis Line, the line goes to a cellular phone carried by the professional coordinator. If she is on the line, survivors get a voicemail explaining the situation and providing information for alternative services, like SAFE House. Survivors also have the option of leaving a voicemail with a name and contact information. "We have very, very few times when we actually have overlapping calls," Cichy said. Previously, the Crisis Line used a sys- tem of pagers, where student volunteers were notified by an operator when a sur- vivor called the line. Cichy said the new system is better, because survivors can reach help immediately. SAPAC has been working with their wireless provider to ensure consistent phone service. In addition, because the coordina- tor is a SAPAC staff member, she is able to relay the information gathered on-site to the staff member who does advocacy for survivors. This reduces the numbers of times a survivor has to tell her story - originally, opponents to the changes were concerned that survivors would have to recount their traumatic experiences several times in order to get help. But opponents to the changes have element, whichi almost all crisis lines are based on." she added. ""t's a matter ofcon- necting with someone who made a com- mitment because they care, because they want to be there to listen." So far, the start-of-the-year workload - the busiest time of the year for SA PAC - has been manageable, Cichy said. But the volume of calls might have gone down since the changes were announced, LSA alum and former student activist Mia White said, because some survivors may have sought alternative services. CAPS has also worked to accom- modate its new sexual assault services, CAPS director Todd Sevig said. The office has conducted professional devel- opment, made handouts and adapted its website to provide services to sexual assault survivors. It also addressed the space issue. Oppo- nents originally argued that there was lit- tle room at CAPS to accommodate sexual assault services. A report issued by the University last year supported this claim, citing that CAPS was "constrained by lack of additional space," according the Mental Health Work Group report. Those issues have been resolved, Sevig said. By the second week of August, CAPS had created two new offices for the counselors. "We're in really good shape with space right now," he said. The office has created several private waiting areas for survivors, should they not want to wait in the public area - Engineering junior Rahul Sumant is stopped by a Jews for Jesus representative near the Diag on Sept. 15. Jews for Jesus defends name, campus By Victoria Edwards believe Jesus is the Messiah. W 1 uan~1y Matt Kep~jorter Clad in T-shirts proclaiming "Jews for Jesus," members of the seemingly paradoxical organization have made themselves a presence on the Diag - prompting criticism from mainstream Jewish groups. The group, from San Francisco, says it is nearing the end of a three-week evangelical outreach on the campus. Jews for Jesus volunteer Dena Schultz said the group is targeting cities with a population of more than 25,000 Jews. "The organization desires to engage Jewish people in the claims of Jesus being the Messiah. Jewish people all over the world are considering Hinduism, Buddhism, but one taboo is still believ- ing in Jesus. We encourage them to see for themselves," said Shaun Buchhalter, director of Detroit's Jews For Jesus. Buchhalter, who was born to a Jewish family and raised secular, said all of the organization's staff was born or married into Jewish families. He added that they work with volunteers on campus who were born into non-Jewish families. Buchhalter said although a basic belief in Judaism is the belief in one God, secular atheistic Jews are still considered Jewish. Therefore accepting Jesus as the Messiah doesn't make him any less Jewish. - "We're Jewish people who came to the only way is through Jesu sacrifice. We don't want to ex Jewish people," Buchhalter sai He said the reaction of JewishI the University's campus has be with curiosity and hostility, some appeared receptive.
