Volun- teers are also needed to assist with community education projects. Locally, the Domestic Violence Service Center, a United Way member agency, provides emer- gency and supportive services to victims of domestic violence and their children. These services in- clude: a 24 hour hotline, emer- gency shelter, counseling, com- munity suport groups, legal advo- cacy, and court accompaniment and children’s program. Volunteer Orientation will take place on Thursday, Sept. 5, begin- ning at 6:30 p.m. This initial ses- volunteers sion will include an overview of domestic violence, information about the services the center pro- vides and volunteer opportunities within the agency. The FBI estimates that a woman is beaten every 15 seconds in this country by a man with whom she is having a relationship, and that as many as six million women are battered every year. According to the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence more than 53,000 women in Pennsylvania were physically abused last year. Seventy two lost their lives. Batter- ing is the single major cause of injury to women; more than mug- gings, automobile accidents and rape combined.

Pearman, Ph.D. on August 26 at the national convention of the American Socio- logical Association in Cincinnati, Ohio. Pearman received the Distin- guished Practitioner of Sociology Award. He is currently the Cam- pus Executive Officer for the Penn State Wilkes-Barre Campus. Pearman has encouraged soci- ologists to consider careers in higher education administration. He has presented several papers in which he argued that the socio- logical perspective combined with the discipline’s methodology is an ideal preparation for such careers. - During Gerald Ford's admini- stration, Pearman worked on a project which assessed the Ameri- can public's view of the military discharge classification system and led to the clemency discharge program for those who resi ‘ed military service in the Viet Nam War. He also studied the swine flu immunization project of the mid 70's and its implications for par- ticipation in future public health immunization programs. For sev- eral years he served the Common- wealth of Pennsylvania by using his sociological insight as a volun- teer on coordinating and planning agencies in the health care field. He was also an early advocate for the patients’ rights movement. For the past few months, he has received a Fulbright Award to study unification of higher education in Germany and that country’s unifi- cation process in general. He is currently developing his observa- tions and recommendations. HRS + J A Charges (continued from page 1) ported picked up later in Dallas, but no further information was available Tuesday.
