Census forms contain questiona about gender and nationality but not sexual orientation. As part of their campaign, members of the Columbia Queer Alliance passed out pink stickers to students to stick on their census forms and asked them to indicate their sexual orientations. Raul Vicente, senior media special- ist for the Census Bureau in the New York region, said in the article that the information students send in will not be factored into official census data, but he supported the movement if it encouraged students to submit forms. "oif that pink sticker will motivate them to send their forms in, then so be it, that's a good thing," he said in the article. GORE TALKS MORALS OF CLIMATE CHANGE Former Vice President Al Gore spoke about the morals of climate change in a speech given to hundreds of students at Duke University on April 8, according to an April 9 article in The Chronicle of Migher Education. During the lecture, Gore briefly talk- ed about his political career, but focused on the acceleration of global warming over the past 150 years and the human contribution to finding asolution. "Make no mistake, this is not just a political issue, not just a market issue, not just a national security issue, not just a jobs issue," Gore said in the arti- tie. "It is a moral issue." ASSAULT DOCUMENTATION LACES NUMBERS A recent report has found that the number of sexual assaults that occur on college campuses is under-documented each year, accordingto an April 9 article in The Daily Collegian, Pennsylvania State University's student newspaper. Law enforcement agencies and col- leges collaborate each year to publish the Clery Act report - a documenta- tion of crimes committed throughout the year, according to the article. But many records of assault aren't included in this report, as universities use police records that oftentimes lack data that should be included, the article states. The number of reported assaults has increased at Penn State during the last three years, but even this increase doesn't reflect the actual number of assaults that occurs. According to the article, because assaults reported to the Center for Women Students or the Center for Counseling and Psycho- logical Services are often confidential, there is an under representation of sex- ual assaults reported at colleges. - KAITLIN WILLIAMS CONTACT INFORMATION Newsroomc Seas Tips torrections Letters to the Editor Photography Department Arts Section Editorial Pate Sports Section Display Sales tlassitied Sales Online Sales office hosSu5n.-Thures.I11a.m. -2 .m. news@michigandaily.omn orrections@michigandaiy.omw tothedaily@michigandaily.omx photo@mnichigandaily.ox artspage~jxichigandaily.on opinion@michigandaily.on sportsopmichigandaiy.oom display@michigandaiy.omx classijted@michigandaiy.cox onlineads@michigadaiy.com 0 0 Activist Grate Lee Bogs at an event yesterday wherena new multicultural lounge in Baits was named atten hen.
