Sanders “How to Prevent Rape” was the title of the lecture given by Greensboro police officer Anne C. Garcia, Wednesday, November 2, in Cone Hall’s parlor. Officer Garcia gave statistics for rape in Greensboro and in the state of North Carolina for 1976. In Greensboro, 42 rapes were re ported; and in the state, 806 rapes were reported. In 1977 there have been 22 reported rapes in Greens boro so far. She explained there are high Belle's Volleyball Team Waves Agglettes Goodbye by Wendy Robin Woods Mondrell Jester a sophomore, physical education major from At lanta, Georgia and current mem ber of WAA, last week expressed her feelings about the Bennett- A&T volleyball game on Oct. 27. Mondrell said, “Although A&T has a much larger enrollment of students and more of a team va riety to choose from, Bennett with its close-knit enrollment and somewhat limited variety still came out on top. A&T State and our school are more or less rivals. To beat A&T at anything is a huge success for our school and a big boost for team and school spirit.” Karla Murray, a junior, early childhood education major, from Miami, Florida said, “Bennett showed A&T who was boss this year. After the commotion be tween the teams in volleyball, I Go Belles!!

Basketball is right around the cor ner!” Increase for Annual UMC Journalism Fellowship Persons engaged in religious journalism or planning to enter the field are invited to apply for the annual Ralph Stoody Fellow ship offered by the United Meth odist Communications (UMC) for graduate study in journalism. In announcing the award for the 1978-79 academic year, the 13th consecutive year, the Rev. Dr. Curtis A. Chambers said the fellowship is “to enhance the re cipient’s professional competence and thereby to help perpetuate the standards exemplified by Dr. Stoody.” Dr. Stoody of Pompano Beach, Fla., was general secretary and director of one of United Meth odist Communications’ professor agencies, the Commission on Pub lic Relations and Methodist Infor mation of the former Methodist Church, from 1940 until his death in 1964. Dr. Chambers, UMC general sec retary, said the fellowship has been increased from $3,000 to $5,000 for the 1977-78 academic year. The award is to assist the recipient in doing graduate study at an accredited school or depart ment of journalism of his or her choice. Applications must be mailed by Jan. 15, 1978, to: Dr. Gene W. Carter, United Methodist Com munications, 307 Fenway Drive, Walnut Creek, Calif. 94598. Appli cation forms and other informa tion are available from Dr. Car ter. and low periods involved in rape cases. Tlie highest month for rape is July. This is due to the limited amount of clothing worn. Decem ber is the lowest month. Women have on more clothing, hats, scarves, coats, gloves, etc. and this makes the rapist think that by the time all the clothing is removed someone is likely to come on the scene. The peak age period is from 16- 20 and the low period is over 85. But, Officer Garcia warned there may be danger even at that age. There are also certain times when rape is most likely to oc cur. The peak period is between 12:01 a.m. and 2 a.m. The low period is between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. Again, Officer Garcia warned rape may occur at anytime. The place where most women are raped is in their own homes. Statistics proved women were sel dom raped in hotels or motels. Persons who are most likely to rape women are total strangers. The men least likely to rape wom en are their brothers or son-in- laws. Saturday was the day selected when most rapes occur. In most rapes no weapons are used. When a weapon is used, the attacker will generally use a knife or a gun. Some cases have been re ported where women were beaten by a club. Officer Garcia gave some tips for safety in homes and in dormi tories. She said you should check your surroundings when you first arrive, especially locks on doors and windows, especially if you live on the first floor. She said do not leave notes attached to the front door. Notes advertise wheth er you are in or out. She suggested leaving a coat hanger on your doorknob at night. When someone turns the doorknob the hanger will rattle giving an alarm. She also said never list your en tire name in the telephone book or on mailboxes. Just use your initials; never use “Miss” or “Ms.” Officer Garcia also gave advice on how to ride elevators alone. You should stand near the ele vator control panels in a three- quarter stance (which is almost sideways). This will allow you to see everyone inside the elevator and you will still be able to reach the control panel. She also said “Learn how to smell people,” meaning learn to detect odors on people around you. Never enter an elevator alone when you are able to smell alcohol on a man before entering the car. Stand back and wait for the next car. If you receive an obsccne phone call, do not argue with the person. Just hang up the phone. When women are driving, they should check the back seat before getting into the car. Never let your win dows down all the way. Never leave your pocket books on the floor of public rest rooms or on hooks. People are able to reach under the partition or over the door and snatch your purse. More than likely you will not be able to chase them. Officer Garcia has been with the Greensboro Police Department for eleven years. She was one of the first police women to be placed on patrol. Before that she had been a meter reader, which was one of the few things women were allowed to do. Officer Gar cia was voted “Outstanding Law Enforcement Officer” in 1974 by the Greensboro Optimist Club. She has a booklet published, “Self Protection for Women.” Officer Garcia is married and has two children. Do you need help in preparing for standardized tests?
