Officer. Allen holds programs
on date rape and burglary
by Cristin Hayes
Collegian Staff Writer
On Thursday, November 9,
Police and Safety Officer Tod
Allen held programs on date rape
and burglary prevention in order
to inform students about
protecting themselves.
Allen gave handouts to
students with date and
acquaintance rape prevention tips.
These handouts suggested that
students should go on double or
group dates the first several times
they go out with a person, say no
if you mean no, and if you are
raped to get medical attention as
soon as possible, as well as other
tips on protecting yourself and
knowing what constitutes rape.
Props were set up to show
students what types of locks
work best to protect them from
burglary. Allen suggests that
everyone should have some type
of dead bolt lock for the best
protection.
These programs were just two
areas Allen has been working
with this year. Earlier in the
semester Allen was active in
Alcohol Awareness Week, which
was dedicated to informing
students about alcohol, its
effects, and the consequences that
go. with- usingiL • - - - 7 ,-- - --
Student services starts new program
The Office of Student
Activities, in an effort to service
the growing number of student
clubs and organizations, has
initiated a new program.
The Student Organization
Consultant Program, initiated by
John P. Downey and David
Shields, will work out of the
Student Activities office. There
will be four Student Organization
Consultants each handling one of
four major types of groups:
Academic, Special Interest,
Greeks & Honor Societies, and
Social/Recreational and Media
Organizations.
Downey and Shields, having
seen similar programs instituted
at other colleges, realized it could
assist with Behrend's fifty-six
clubs and organizations. The four
students will be available for help
in almost any area of the
organization, including
fundraising, programming,
membership retention and
meeting management.
This year's four consultants
are Chuck Groger (Special
Interest Organizations), Joe
Stevenson (Greeks and Honor
Societies), Calandra Matthews
(Academic organizations), and
Brent Vernon
(Social/Recreational and Media
organizations).
"These four students were
chosen because of their previous
experience in activities," said
Downey. As well as working as
a liaison between the

"By the age of 21, students
have seen over 100 thousand beer
commercials," said Allen, "I don't
condemn alcohol, it's part of our
society. I condemn its abuse."

There is a new area that is
being looked at concerning
alcohol and its effects. This area
is alcohol showing up on
psychological tests that are used
for job placement or other areas.
The alcohol only shows up if
you are an extremely heavy
drinker, but still is a factor in job
placement.

He will also be targeting drug

Allen would like to have a take
off of Alcohol Awareness Week
with Drug Awareness Week.
Laurie O'Sullivan, the Niagara
and Perry Coordinator, has also
come up with some ideas for
programs on date rape that Allen
would like to work on. Allen
would like to inform students
from the laws point of- view,
possibly a nurses point of view,
as well as others so students get
an idea of what is really involved.
Allen is also researching
doing a type of Health Awareness
program. This program would
look - at
.nutrition, physical
fitness, psychological fitness,
lifestyles, and other factors that
add to a healthy lifestyle.
Allen says, "I like to educate
and bring new angles to
programs?
