The concert actually sold out despite only half of Erie Hall be ing filled up. The continuing theme of Erie being a great place dominated the very entertaining concert. The lead singer of Train, Patrick Monahan, is originally from Erie, and many friends and family came out to see this local face. The show started off with a perfor mance by the Boston band Angry Salad. They combined some rap-fla vored beats with pure rock music. For many people attending, this was their first exposure to the hand. For those who were familiar with Angry Salad Kg - 0 Behrend raises awareness about rape by Shannon Weber news editor With the report of an attempted rape on campus last week, Behrend administrators and counselors are working to make students more aware about rape prevention. College students are among the most vulnerable to rape of any age group. One fourth of college women have been victims of rape or at tempted rape. Almost 90 percent of those women knew their attackers, according to the Behrend Counsel ing and Advising office. The myth "rape will never happen to me" is contradicted by the fact that one in every four women will be raped in their lives, according to in formation provided by the Counsel ing and Advising office. 1.3 forcible rapes of adult women occur every minute in America, and 78 women are forcibly raped each hour. Every year in America, 683,000 women are forcibly raped. Only 16 percent of rapes are ever reported to the police. That means 84 percent go unre ported. Only one to two percent of rape reports are suspected to be false. Even though most victims in the cases of sexual assault are women, some men are also victims. Bill Donahue, Manager of Police and Safety Services, suggests that students travel in groups. There is an escort service provided by Police and Safety on campus. Students are encouraged to use this service to help them reach their destination on campus safely. This service is pro- WEEKEND WEATHER OUTLOOK stor6 "The Milkshake Song" was the height of the show. However, the band proved that they could rock while being entertaining in all aspects. A miniature version of "Storytellers" took place as the band shared their experiences that led to some of their songs. Also, the band showed their envy of the quirky Britney Spears by entertaining the crowd with a little dance show. However, the wait seemed ex tremely long for the main act of the night, Train. The band performed a 12-song main act followed by a 2- song encore. Fans were very in trigued to hear that an acoustic album is on its way. "Flatfoot," a song off of that album, was played toward the end of the show. The most enjoyable part of the show was when the band played the YOU AT RISK? CAUTION vided 24 hours a day. "Whenever at a party don't leave a drink unattended. If you set a drink down, get a fresh drink," he said, "and if you leave a party make sure the people you came with know where you are going and with whom you are leaving." Substance-related rape has been occurring more frequently. Date rape drugs such as Rohypnol ("roofies", "Mexican valium", "roaches") and gamma hydroxybutyric acid, GHB ("liquid X", "g -juice", "Gamma 10") are being used to incapacitate victims in order to sexually abuse them. Rohypnol is widely prescribed in over 80 countries around the world for the treatment of severe and debilitating sleep disorders. It is not, however marketed in the U.S. or Canada, but is available generically as flunitrazepam from other suppliers. A new form of Rohypnol emits blue dye as it dissolves in liquid and the tablet coating makes it dissolve slowly into beverages. GHB was sold at health food stores in the 1980 s, but banned in the 19905. It was rumored to increase strength while working out and build muscle while sleeping, and it induces sleep. When this drug is mixed with alco hol, it can be deadly. The body shuts See page 2 for full POLICE AND SAFETY PAGE 2 weekend forecast. song "Train." It was played as it is on the album until the guitar solo. From then on, it was a mix between Kid Rock, Kenny G., and a Latin music type. Monahan sang the cho rus of Kid Rock's "Cowboy" then showed his saxophone skills on the tenor saxophone. Monahan playing bongos followed this. A close sec ond to this performance was an edi tion of the favorite "I Want You to Want Me." Jared Hawk, 05 Polsc, commented, "they are a really talented hand, and they played some really good covers." The concert was a success and the sold out audience showed the diver sity of Train fans as it ranged from teenagers to moms and dads. The show was a very good way to spend a Friday night.
