20—The Daily Collegian Wednesday, Oct. 7, 1981 Escort service available soon Applications will be taken beginning tomorrow By ANNE CONNERS Daily Collegian Staff Writer To take steps toward protecting those who walk around campus late at night and to promote "safety in num bers," the Student Escort Service will begin receiving appli . cations tomor row. "I'd like to stress the idea of getting away from the stereotypic view that the Escort Service is strictly for fe males," said Karen Gravlin, vice president of the Association of Resi dence Hall Students. "We've adopted the idea of safety in numbers because there has already been three attacks on males reported to University Police," she said.

Students who are interested in being escorts will be given a short interview by the ARHS Security Committee, Gravlin said. Betty Moore, a Residential Life counselor, said that the service should be operatibnal in two weeks. Moore said that students would not be asked to give that much of their time to be escorts. "Escorts are not called that fre quently only once a term," Moore said. The Student Counselors of the Stu dent Assistance Center are a vital cog in the program, Moore said. A student who needs an escort calls the student counselors and they find an escort, she said. The number of students requests an escort has increased during the past three years, mainly because of 'in creased awareness," Moore said. In 1978-79 there were 199 requests for escorts, in 1979-80 there were 202 requests for escorts and in 1980-81 there were 227 requests for escorts. Moore stressed that students should not rely on the program all the time. Students can contact the service at 863-2020.

Committee tables marital rape bill HARRISBURG (AP) Encouraged by women's groups, the House Judiciary Committee tabled a bill yesterday that would have allowed wives to charge their husbands with rape. It was the second time this year that the bill, co-sponsored by Rep. Gregg L. Cunningham, R-Centre County, has been tabled. Rep. Allen Kukovich, D-Westmoreland County, another spon sor of the measure, said he moved to table it at the request of women's advocacy groups. "They wanted to hold off on this bill for the time being," Kukovich said. . Cunningham said the delay was due to a failure on Kuko vich's part to receive certain information needed to present the bill. "That's really all there was to it," Cunningham said. "As he explained this to me, he needed statistical information that he did not have as of this morning so he simply asked the bill be held over until he got it. It's just a momentary pause." During discussion of the measure early last summer, Kuko: vich said questions were raised such as "whether this would hurt the family unit." "I thihk that's a specious argument," he said. "If a woman is being violated, whether or not her husband is exempt from prosecution, it's not going to help the family unit." But he said more preparation is needed, including better *********** COLLEGE CONSUMER PARTY PRESENTS BARRY COMMONER 1980 CONSUMER PRES. CANDIDATE "POLITICS AT GRASSROOTS" THURS. OCT.

However, Cunningham said he has reservations about adding a required counseling provision. "I think it has some merit," he said. "One of the difficulties we run into, which is I guess the other view of this, is that anytime you force somebody to go to counseling, it is of dubious "Counseling has to be something that somebody seeks or at least is willing to accept before it is going to have any benefits, so while I'm not categorically opposed to it I do have some reservations about it. I'm willing to compromise." According to Kukovich, women's groups are more concerned at this point with a bill that would guarantee confidentiality between rape victims and their crisis counselors.' Rape crisis centers have been fighting recent attempts by courts to subpoena counselors and their records. They contend victims will be reluctant to come in for counseling if the sessions are not confidential. Kukovich said the confidentiality bill has been reported to the House floor and could be voted on at any time. He said the marital rape bill will be acted on after that. —additional research by Ron Waters "Birth Control Through Fertility Awareness" DISCUSSION FOCUS: The natural family planning method developed by John Billings.
