by St. Andrews alum
nus and writer, John
Williamson, of Vir
ginia Beach Va.. Mr.
Willimson had this to
say about Goffs work
"Punctuated with
strange and often
disquieting imageiy,
Georgia Goffs poetry
achieves a high degree
of technical artistry
while still remaining
accessible and warm.
She startles, but
always with a clear
purpose."

SHACKLES OF GLASS
i smoke my cigarettes
down to the filter
and drain my friends dry
and you
quietly sit beside me
(sometimes)
and hate me
for doing all these
things
that are killing me
and cloaking
you
in that pale blue aura
of security
(superiority)
that holds passions at bay
and me
at your feet.

Sexual assault on col
lege campuses is more
widespread than most
people think, according
to a professor from Uni
versity of North Caro
lina at Greensboro. Dr.
Jacquelyn W. White
spoke about her research
on sexual assault at St.
Andrews last week. Dr.
White is a scholar of
sexual aggression, as
sault and gender and
social influence. Her
writings on sexual as
sault are widely pub
lished and she is now
conducting a longitudi
nal study of he causes of
assault.
Pi Gamma Mu, the In
ternational Honor Soci
ety in Social Science,
sponsored Dr. White's
trip Twelve St. Andrews
students were inducted
into the society prior to
the discussion.
Women are almost al
ways the victims of
sexual assault, which Dr.
White says is a "devas
tating problem" that
needs to be brought to
light. Assault can cause
longer, physical and psy
chological problems and
date rape can be particu-
larly devastating to
women.
Dr. White says she has
found that sexual assault
can be attributed, in part
to ingrained social
stereotypes, as well as
early childhood experi
ences and certain per
sonalities ad attitudes.
Nationwide studies
show 56% of all women
experience some form
of assault, adn Dr. White
says her research is
showing similar
statistices. The numbers
she presented were very
frightening. A person
who had been a victim
or a perpetrator of sexual
assault is seven times
more likely to commit
another act of sexual
assault or be the vitim of
one. She says she will
continue to explore the
attitudes and habits of
students at UNC-G in
an effort to learn more
about the causes of
sexual assault and find
ways to help solve this
problem. Dr White ad
mitted "Sexual assault
needs to be studied [
even if it makes you an
gry] Out of anger comes
an energy and with that
energy we can solve
world problems."
