Train on track at Behrend
Fans go mad for Angry Salad
by Douglas Smith
staff writer
The concert featuring Train and
Angry Salad on October 29th was a
big hit with the community around
Behrend. 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

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-

"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

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

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.

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. Train will always he

can easily be made from recipes that
are posted on the Internet, and there
are web sights that sell kits to make
it.
When attending a party, students
are advised not to take any beverages,
including alcohol, from someone they
do not know well and trust. If they
are at a bar or club, only accept drinks
from the bartender or server. At par
ties, do not accept open-container
drinks from anyone. Students are also
advised to take their own beverages
to a party.
Behrend offers medical treatment,
emotional support, and access to le
gal information to a student victim of
sexual assault. In the first 72 hours
after an assault, a special exam should
be conducted which includes the col
lection of evidence that may be used
in the criminal prosecution. The exam
is available to Behrend students at any
of the four local hospitals. The Uni
versity has arranged with the local
hospitals to have the University pay
for the initial exam and routine tests
to protect the privacy of the victim.
Any other additional rape-related care
will be provided free of charge by the
Health and Wellness center, includ
