Rape Crisis Center Derises New Mission Statement, Goals
BYLAURA GODWIN
STAFF WRITER
Sexual assault is an unfortunate reality
on college campuses. But the Orange
County Rape Crisis Center has anew mis
sion statement on the prevention of sexual
assault that might keep University and
community members from becoming vic
tims.
During a summer retreat, members of
the board of directors revised the mission
statement, which now reads: “The Orange
County Rape Crisis Center dedicates itself
to ending sexual violence by providing
educational services to promote die aware
ness and prevention of sexual violence and
by supporting its victims.’’
This revised statement places more im
portance on the prevention of sexual as
saults than the previous statement did.
It’s About Time: Professor Challenges Theories
BYANDREWRUSSELL
STAFF WRITER
With the end of daylight-saving time
quickly approaching, the notion of time
takes on anew meaning for many people.
For some, it will mean an extra hour at
their favorite bar. For others, it will simply
mean an extra hour of much-needed sleep.
But for UNC philosophy Professor George
Schlesinger, time means everything.
In his new book, “Timely Topics,"
Schlesinger provides deep insight into the
philosophy and nature of time.
“Time is a very difficult subject,”
Schlesingersaid Thursday. “Especially the

“What we are saying is, sexual assault
needs to be abandoned,” said board presi
dent Connie Mullinix, who helped with
the revision. “Rather than work with people
after it happens, we want to work in pre
venting.
“We have been in business for 20 years.
We decided, ‘Let’s move into the arena of
prevention .’Thereisacycleofseeing abuse
and dealing with it. We want to break this
cycle."
In an effort to prevent sexual assaults,
the center has different educational pro
grams on awareness, prevention and self
protection. The attendance for many of
these programs ranges from small groups
to very large groups, said Margaret
Henderson, director of the rape crisis cen
ter.
The Orange County center recognizes
that not all victims of sexual assaults are
movement of time.”
Schlesinger argues against the traditional
philosophical view oftime, whichsuggests
that time cannot move.
“Most people believe in the movement
of time,” Schlesinger said. “We feel the
future is coming toward us, and once we
reach the present, the events begin reced
ing into the past. I’m trying to show that
this movement of time does make sense.”
Schlesinger said he believed that the
end of daylight-saving time tended to be a
hassle for most people.
“Energy is wasted because we turn our
lights on earlier, some people probably
forget, and it usually takes about a week to

female. “The center was one of the first
rape crisis centers to recognize sexual vio
lence occurs against males, too,”
Henderson said. “Eight to 10 percent of
our victim client population is male.”
According to the University’s 1994 Se
curity Report, nine sex offenses were re
ported to the dean of students in 1992,
whether directly to the office of student
affairs by the victim or indirectly through
reports relayed by various organizations.
That same year, two offenses were re
ported to the University Police. In 1993,18
sex offenses were reported to the dean of
students, while none were reported to
University Police.
“A sex offense can be anything ranging
from first-degree rape all the way down to
attempted rape, ” said David Collins, assis
tanttothedirectorofUniversity Police. “It
involves a wide range of offenses.”
adjust to the change,” he said.
The book discusses nature’s uniformity
with respect to space and time and also
poses questions about the past and the
future, Schlesinger said.
“Why is it that we know so much about
the past and not about the future?”
Schlesinger said. “It seems to be a simple
question, but there are many different ex
planations.”
He said the upcoming time change was
not a philosophical question but a practical
question.

well as all off-campus fraternities, sorori

Frederic Schroeder, dean of students
said, “It is important for victims to realize
that all reports, including the security re
port, are confidential. We just receive a
number of rapes, not a name, time or even
day the incident occurred, when sexual
offenses are reported to us.”.
Collins said he thought more victims
would come forward if they knew the facts
of crime reporting.
“I think victims of crime would report
more if there was more of an awareness of
procedure,” he said. “There are many,
many options for reporting. ” One option is
that of blind reporting, or reporting to the
police without victims giving their name.

lina Asian News, said she thought the
obstacles Asian Americans faced varied
among age groups.
“The problems depend on the genera
tion,” Nippert said. “I can’t see that college
students have the (same) problems fitting
in; if they were raised here, they are assimi
lated into American culture.
“It’s hard for the older generation to get
the rhythm of anew culture. They are
work-oriented and do not get involved
with the community. Seldom do they vol
unteer in schools because community ser
vice is not one of their priorities,” Nippert
added.
Yang took over Carolina Asian News
when its founder, Dr. DongH. Kim, moved
to Atlanta in 1992. Yang owns the paper
and, as the editor, is up to his elbows in
every area of its production, in addition to
his responsibilities as a full-time computer
programmer for UNC’s biostatistics de
partment.
He selects, edits and lays out all of the
articles; sells advertising; and is in charge
of distributing the 4,000 copies in Chapel
Hill, Durham, Raleigh and schools in the
UNC system. He also manages the the
paper’s staff, made up of a handful of
volunteers.
The monthly paper usually runs about
16 pages and has articles on a variety of
subjects pertinent to the Asian commu
nity. For example, in the October issue,
stories titled “Asian Americans: The Invis
ible Minority” and “New Era in China:
Life After Deng Xiaoping?” graced the
cover.
Yang said the paper, founded in 1991,
was important in the Asian community,
primarily because it gave Asians more vis
ibility.
“People don’t see an Asian-American
publication in English often,” Yang said.
“One-third of our readers are of Asian
descent. The paper gives Americans a
glimpse into the lives of Asian Ameri
cans.”
Jeff Huang, a UNC junior from Hickory,
said the Carolina Asian News was particu
larly important in the Triangle because the
area has the greatest number of Asian
Americans in North Carolina and because
they are not as outspoken about racial
issues as other minorities.
“I think Asian Americans suffer on the
whole from being foreign,” Huang said.
“They are not accepted as mainstream
culture. They are the newest members of
American society and really don’t have a
voice.
“I think Carolina Asian News does give
us a voice and some recognition in the
community. It shows that we make a
significant contribution. I think it also is
good in that it keeps some people in touch
with what is going on in Asia,” Huang
added.
Yang was bom in Pusan, South Korea,
and lived in the country until he was 15.
Protecting oneself is an important key
to prevention of sexual assault. According
to a brochure distributed by the rape crisis
center, self-protection includesbeingaware
of your surroundings, being prepared for
different situations you might encounter,
and securing your environment by locking
your doors and windows.
“It is not enough just to be with one
person, groups are much safer, ” Henderson
said. “It’s dangerous to assume you are at
risk only when you are alone. When you
are on a date with someone you don’t
know very well, or intoxicated, you are at
risk.”
Awareness is also important, Mullinix
said. “It’s important to keep oneself out of
a dangerous situation, and it’s important
to figure out a strategy, ” she said. “If one is
getting into a situation where there isi dan
ger, know how to ran.”
“I think Asian Americans
suffer on the whole from being
foreign. ... They are the
newest members of society and
really don’t have a voice. ”
JEFFHUANG
UNC junior
His family moved to the United States, and
in 1971 entered Chapel Hill High School.
He said it was a tough transition.
“It was pretty difficult,” he said. “At
that time there weren’t as many Asian
Americans in Chapel Hill. The only Kore
ans (at CHHS) were me and my brother. It
was quite a culture shock.”
After four years of high school, Yang
headed down the road to UNC, where he
said he felt more at home thanks to the
more diverse University community.
For two years he served as president of
the Korean Students Society and also was
active in the karate club.
Yang’s collegiate studies were side
tracked for several years, as he decided to
travel and live in Los Angeles, where his
parents had moved.
In 1987, he finally graduated from UNC
with a degree in computer science. He has
worked in the biostatistics department ever
since.
Yang has ventured back to Korea sev
eral times since he was 15, including a
momentous journey 41 /2 years ago when
he married his wife, Heejeoung.
He hopes to attend graduate school at
UNC to earn his master’s degree in infor
mation science.
“I want to be involved in the implemen
tation of the information superhighway
because it is the future thingthat will change
everything,” he said. “There was fire, the
industrial revolution, the computer revo
lution and now the information superhigh
way.”
With the effort Yang expended on the
production of Carolina Asian News, he
said he might pass the torch and let some
one else run it for a while.
“Although I do most of the work, it is
not really my thing because it is too much
work,” he said. “I didn’t quit earlier be
cause there is a need for the paper, and it is
doing real well.”
“If someone wants to buy the paper,
that’s great. Money is not the important
thing,” he added. “I’d rather have some
one do it, not for profit motivation, but for
the cause. I want Carolina Asian News to
continue for the right reasons.”
He is looking at the Asian Students
Association at UNC, Duke and N.C. State
to find people to continue the paper and to
take some of the burden of producing it off
his own shoulders.
“If one man can do it, many people can
do a better job.”

Haunted

For Children
Greek System Organizes
Halloween Activities for
Oxford Orphanage, Public
BY JENNIFER BURLESON
STAFF WRITER
UNC fraternities and sororities will
make Halloween special Sunday for chil
dren from the Oxford Orphanage.
What started as a small idea in the mind
of Alpha Chi Omega member Kristan Dail,
rapidly became a huge festival. Originally,
Dail only knew that she wanted to do
something for Halloween, and that frater
nities and sororities had worked previ
ously with the Oxford Orphanage.
“We had dealt with them around
Christmastime and saw how important it
was for them to work with students,” said
Dail, a junior from Lumberton. “I feel it
will help them for their future.”
Dail and her sorority sisters decided
they wanted to take kids from the orphan
age trick-or-treating. She said she had men
tioned the idea to a few other people and it
had seemed to evolve. She said many people
had wanted to become involved with the
project.
“You just start an idea, and suddenly
everyone wants to get involved,” Dail said.
“Halloween’s a really busy time, and these
people are taking away from their time for
these kids.”
Instead of just taking a group of kids
trick-or-treating, fraternity and sorority
members have expanded the event. Kappa
Alpha fraternity will sponsor a haunted
house in Little Fraternity Court, complete
with a graveyard decorated with the help
of Kappa Sigma fraternity.
While walking through the haunted
house, the children will be guided by a
rope. They will be led into the basement as
they are spooked by hands reaching out
from the dark. In the basement, a fortune
teller will await them, and later, a masked
man appears with a chain saw.
The haunted house will be open to all
children from 6p.m. to 10 p.m. Admission
will be sl, and any further donations will
be appreciated. Free parking will be avail
able across from the haunted house at the
United Church of Chapel Hill. Refresh
ments will be sold by Kappa Sigma at the
haunted house, and all of the proceeds will
go to benefit the orphanage.
Kappa Alpha member Owen Lynch, an
organizer of the Halloween project, said
the money that would come from the
haunted house would be used for a good
cause.
“We wanted to do more for them than
just give them a bundle of money,” said
Lynch, asenior from Raleigh. “We wanted
to work toward something. The orphan
age is looking for supplies to buy the kids
stuff to go fishing with and cheerlead.”
He said he expected the haunted house
to be successful. “If we only get 100 kids to
come, that will be fine, but if we only get
600 people, we will be surprised,” Lynch
said. “We hope (elementary school) classes
will come to the haunted house.”
The entire idea for the Halloween project
began with Dail, Lynch said. “The reason
the whole thing started was that Kristan
wanted to take the kids trick-or-treating,”
he said.
Lynch said he hoped the charity fund
raiser would counter some negative stereo
types about the Greek system. “Recently,
there’s been a lot ofbad press going on with
the Greeks,” Lynch said. “A lot of oppor
tunity can come out of this. We decided to
get the whole community involved within
the student body.”
Approximately 45 children from the
orphanage are expected to trick-or-treat
with fraternity and sorority members and
attend the haunted house. They will begin
trick-or-treatingat2p.m. on Franklin Street.
