DECEMBER 9, 1981 THE TWIG PAGE 3 SGA signs Petition by Melody West At the November 6 SGA meeting, the Meredith College student body decided to add its name to a petitiort urging Raleigh newspapers not to print the names of rape victims. The Meredith College SGA representatives became involved with thid petition because they believe that, as a women’s college, Meredith should be concerned with women’s issues. The petition, which has been signed by various other Raleigh area residents will be sent to Raleigh newspapere. In addition, a group of SGA representatives plans to meet with the editor of one of the local papers' to stress the objection to the printing of rape victims' names. It is uncertain how influential this petition will be, but at least the Raleigh papers will be aware of the concern in the area over printing these victims’ names. A copy of this petition was published in The Spectator, October 6, 1981. NCAE Halloween Project It was a crisp, mild October day. The leaves trickled slowly down as the vampire chased the clown across the yard of Swift Creek Elementary School. A short witch, with a twinkle in her eye, peered around the corner of the main building waiting to scare her brother, the tiger, who was running her way. These were scenes that members of Meredith’s student chapter of North Carolina Association of Educators encountered as they volunteered at the Halloween Carnival on Saturday, October 31, sponsored by the Parent Teacher Association of Swift Creek Elementary School. As a club project, students under the direction of Dr. Mary Johnson assisted the parents and teachers in a truly successful Halloween Carnival. Meredith SNCAE members painted faces, judged cake walks, bandaged the sick in the “MASH” tent, mingled with the ghost and goblins, and performed various other tasks. It is hard to say who had the most fun, the young students at Swift Creek, tl^ older students from Mer^ith, the parents, or the teachers. For all, it was a festtivce day of make-believe and magic- indeed a special Halloween! Dianne Heffner at ASPA The monthly meeting of the American Society of Personnel Administrators was held Tuesday, November 17, at7:00 p.m. in the Alumnae House. Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Bledsoe, the club’s advisor, and Jane Brenegar, the Program Chairman, the club was fortunate enough to have Ms. Dianne Heffner as a guest speaker. Ms. Heffner, who works with Burroughs Wellcome in the Management Training Development Department, s^ke on her experiences in training employees. She mentioned many different types of courses and seminars with which she has been involved. At the meeting, the club decided to try to win a Merit Award for our Student Chapter of ASPA. So, lo(^ forward to hearing more about ASPA in the next few months. Cindy, Patrice & Lynn (Continued from Page 1) the April Fool edition of the Twig last year, was adopted by the group, and for two years they have been entertaining at Cornhi^kin’, talent shows, and at workshops and other college funcitons. When Dr. Thomas asked them to write a song to back up a slide presentation she was giving for the Girl Scouts National Conference, CP&L displayed their creative abilities by composing “Women Around the World.” Since that Ume, they have written two other songs: “Faces That Smile” and “That Is Why I CaU You Friend.” If enough financial suport can be obtained, the group will record an album in ttie spring; they are in the process of making a demo tape of their original songs, as well as favorites such as “'The Bramble and the Rose” and “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?” The musical future of CP&L looks very promising. Lotsa luck! A Petition As citizens of Raleigh and active community organizations, we would like to voice our concern about the standard practice of the Raleigh News and Observer and the Raleigh Times to print the name and addresses of rape victims. It is the typical practice of our local newspapers to print the names and addresses of rape victims as ohen as three times; after the probable cause hearing, during criminal court proceedings, and after the assailant has been convicted of the crime. We consider this policy insensitive to the needs of rape victims. In a study conducted in our state as many as 44 percent of rape victims indicated they did not report the crime because of fear of public exposure. We believe that the policy of printir^ the names and addresses of rape victims leads to a reduction in the number of rapes reported to the police, creates further psychological harm to the victim, and may lead to harassment of the victim by other individuals. We urgently petition the News and Observer and the Times to discontinue this policy.
