'U' campaign to address 0 sexual assault on campus Tour bus collided with a pickup truck on rural highway YUCAIPA, Calif. (AP) - A tour bus crashed with a pickup truck on a rural mountain high- way in Southern California on Sunday night, killing eight peo- ple and injuring dozens of others, authorities said. The collision happened around 6:30 p.m. and included the tour bus, a pickup truck pull- ing a trailer, and a sedan, said CHP Officer Mario Lopez. He confirmed late Sunday that eight people died and many more were injured in the mountain highway crash about 80 miles east of Los Angeles near the town of Forest Falls. San Bernardino County Fire Department spokesman Eric Sherwin said 27 people were treated at the scene. He said inju- rnceton MCATCourses t TSRe vie2 Next MCAT Courses Start: 215 & 2/11 ries varied from minor to life- threatening. People were being extricated from the bus more than an hour after the crash on a mountainous stretch of two-lane Highway 38, and rescuers were still searching the wreckage for victims hours later. Television footage showed the bus sittingupright but turned sideways on the road. Sherwin did not know where the bus was headed or how the truck was involved. Highway 38 leads to Big Bear, a popu- lar area that's home to a ski resort and other recreational locations. At least seven ambulances were called to the scene, and patients were taken to several hospitals. The injured were rushed to several area hospitals. Arrowhead Regional Medi- cal Center said four women had been admitted from the crash and their conditions were still being determined. Redland Community Hospi- tal said it received one person in critical condition and one with minor injuries, while two more were en route with minor injuries. Community' Hospital of San Bernardi- no said it had received one patient with undetermined injuries, while St. Bernadine Medical Center said it had two patients, whose injuries were being assessed. FOLLOW THE DAILY ON TWITTER @michigandaily Students to kick off initiative at Mock Rock By CASSANDRA BALFOUR Daily StaffReporter One in four women and one in ten men will experience sexual assault during their four years in college. Armed with these statistics, the support of various University departments and their own per- sonalized networks and talents, four seniors are undertaking a sexual assault awareness cam- paign called "I Will," which will be unveiled Monday at the annual student athlete charity event, Mock Rock. Their goal is to help educate and empower the community to stop what is characterized as a "silent epidemic"across college campuses. With guidance and backup from the Sexual Assault Prevent and Awareness Center, the Office of Student Conflict Resolution andtheAthletic Department, LSA seniors Elisabeth Hindert, Josh Buoy, Seth Klapman and Yonah Liebermam - who is a former Daily columnist - are launching a series of public service announce- ments at campus events and on the campaign's website, which also debuts Monday. They'll also be facilitating short workshops and targeting student groups to raise aware- ness. In addition, they're teaming up with the Athletic Department to design teal-colored Adidas Michigan gear, the symbolic color of sexual assault awareness. "What we're trying to do is start a conversation around sex- ual assault because it's absent on this campus; it's absent national- ly," Buoy said. "It's a taboo topic, and it's so pressing." Citing the viral "It Gets Bet- ter" campaign aimed at isolated LGBTQ teens and the pink-hued Breast Cancer Awareness cam- paigns, the group hopes to adopt similar methods in order to edu- cate the entire campus commu- nity about sexual assault. They want to create a safe environment for survivors of sexual assault and allies alike. Buoy emphasized that the group doesn't want to point fin- gers or blame anyone. "Sexual assault and violence takes so many forms beyond rape, and that's what we really want to do - we really want to educate - what qualifies as sexual assault, because I think so many people, especially of the male gender, don't know what it is," Buoy said. "With this campaign, we're work- ingwith everyone where theysare." The group of seniors, brought together through chance, a shared goal and, in the case of the three boys, a shared fresh- man residence hall, are focusing on education and dialogue. As a result of social media campaigns, events and film shorts shot by the student group Filmic, which Buoy heads as a co-creative director, they're hoping the whole campus will be awash in teal come spring. Hindert's ties to the athletic community as a former student athlete who now works for the athletic department helped the group get the involvement of the University's athletic community. They're planning to display their sexual assault awareness posters at the Big House, Crisler Arena and Yost Arena with the hopes of tying together sexual assault awareness with some of the Uni- versity's most visible students. "Imagine Tim Hardaway Jr. slam-dunking the basket and he has a teal bracelet on," Buoy said. "Then you have on the poster his 'I Will' statement, so you see how that campus icon is makinga commitment to this pause." Although the group acknowl- edges that male student ath- letes are statistically more likely to commit sexual assault, they emphasized that sexual assault is a college-wide issue and that they're addressing the whole community and not singling one demographic out. LSA sophomore Carly Manes, president of Students for choice, said her organization plans to par- ticipate in the "I Will" workshops. She said student groups will craft their own "I Will" statement that will articulate a tangible goal for what the organization is planning to do to stop sexual assault. "We want tobe a part of giving women and men who were sexu- ally assaulted or people who are allies the tools to combat that in their communities and in their own lives," Manes said. The group aims to change how students discuss sexual assault. They want to challenge con- ventional wisdom that teaches women and men not to getsexu- ally assaulted and steer the con- versation toward teaching people not to sexually assault others. "It comes down to the bare minimum of you can't grab a girls butt," Hindert said. "Or, what she's wearing doesn't define who she is." A recent University Police crime alert reported that there have been unconfirmed occur- rences of students at off-cam- pus parties having their drinks spiked with drugs. Both Buoy and Hindert said many of their acquaintances blamed the woman for drinking too heavily. "That's the prime example of the conversation that we want to remedy, we want people to see that crime alert and say,. 'Yes, that's an issue' not 'Why would she drink so much?"' Buoy said. "A friend of mine said, 'Sounds to me girls just shouldn't be drink- ing drinks that people hand them,' and that was a girl who said that. That's the rape culture that we live in." Hindert added that blaming survivors of sexual assault is still common and that it's that attitude that the "I Will" campaign aims to combat on multiple fronts. "When people hear those sta- tistics they're really blown away," Hindertsaid. "But wejustwantto get the point across that those sta- tistics are your roommates, your teammates, your classmates and your friends."
