Women,
rape
discussed
By CATHY NESS
Collegian Staff Writer
The myth that rapes are
committed by strangers and
maniacs in dark alleys is, for
the most part, untrue, ac
cording to the speaker at a
Women’s Studies forum last
Louise Sandmeyer, a
counselor at the Career
Development and Placement
.Center, told an audience of
;about 30 that rape victims
‘actually know their rapist,
;and many rapes occur in the
•victim’s own home,
i If a women does find herself
;in a situation where she is
labout to be raped, it is up to
her to decide if her
capabilities are such that she

should attempt to fight back,
Sandmeyer said. She also
suggested that the victim first
attempt to talk her way out of
it.
If a woman is raped she
should first go to a physician.
Sandmeyer said many
women who haven’t been
physically injured fail to
report to a doctor, forgetting
about the possibility of
pregnancy or V.D.
The victim should also
contact the police, regardless
of whether or not she intends
to prosecute, Sandmeyer
said.
It is important to
remember that rape is a
crime of violence rather than
a crime of sex, Sandmeyer
said. The days when a woman
was publicly embarrassed in
court are fading. Sandmeyer
noted that a bill was passed
stating that a woman’s past
can only be discussed in pri
vate with the judge, who then
decides if it has any relevance
to the case before bringing it

out in court.
Sandmeyer said many
efforts are being made to help
the rape victim. The Rape
Crisis Center and -Ritenour
Health Center have services
available to aid the victim.
The police also are paying
more attention to the problem
of rape, but Sandmeyer said
only one out of ten rapes
actually are reported.
There is no possible way for
a woman to completely guard
herself against the threat of
rape, except for using good
common sense, she said.
Hitchhiking, for example,
makes the woman a ready
target for a rapist.
A film, entitled “No Lies,”
dealing with the reactions of a
young woman who had
recently been raped,
preceded Sandmeyer’s talk.
Next Wednesday night, the
Women’s Studies, a Liberal
Arts class, will sponsor
another film and discussion
session, on the subject of
Families of the Future.
Bicyclists face stiff vehicle code fines
By SUE MUSHENO
Collegian Staff Writer
Joe ran a stop sign on his
bike so he wouldn't lose
momentum going up a steep
hill. Fortunately, the police
officer behind Joe didn’t fine
him since he had no previous
traffic violations. Next time,
he might have to pay $25.
Bicycles are popular
because they are generally
more economical; than cars,
but both the Bicyclist and the
motorist pay the same fines
for traffic violations, ac
cording to. Corporal
J.S. Smith, of the State Col
lege Police Department.
For instance, both the
motorists and the bicyclist
would pay, a $25 fine for
disobeying a “one-way” road
sign. Both travelers would pay
$lO for driving at' night
without lights, according to
the new State Motor Vehicle

Code.
Smith said these violations,
along with running stop signs
are among the most common
traffic violations in the area.
Because there is an entirely -
(new) population here every
term, many people aren’t
familiar with the area or its
laws, Smith said.
Bicyclists often are sur
prised when they are stopped
for a road violation, Smith
said, because they may come
from an area where the bike
regulations are different or
not spelled out.
If a bicyclist tells an
arresting officer ‘ that he
didn’t know about a certain
bike rule, for instance the
municipality’s rule against
bike-riding on sidewalks, it
would be up to that officer to
decide whether the cyclist
should receive a traffic
citation, Smith said.

Riding on a sidewalk might
cost the offender anywhere
from $2 to $lO. This is a sliding
fine which is determined by
the magistrate, Smith said. .
The said enforcement of
traffic rules is applied as
equally to bicyclists as it is to
motorists.

increased since the new State
