There shall always be enemies of the righteous that shall try to weaken the spirit and torment thy holy soul, but thanks be to God for He hears the prayers of the weak, arms the spirit of the humble and like the walls of Jericho, so thine enemies shall be weakened and ultimately crumble. You shall be mightier than the sword and despite the efforts to defeat thee, you are shielded in glory and strengthened by our Lord.

Dr. Edward Fort, chancellor, and various athletic department represen tatives were among the speakers. CAMPUS RAPES (Continued from page 1) Six St. John’s University students, five of them members of the lacrosse team, pleaded innocent in connection with a March 1 incident in Queens. They allegedly lured a fellow student to their off-campus house, plied her with liquor until she passed out, then sexually attacked her. College women also can be raped by a solitary acquaintance. Sandler said studies show IS to 25 percent of all women undergraduates are physically or psychologically in timidated into having sex against their will. “I don’t know if many more in stances are occurring now than 20 years ago; it's Just that the females are more willing and capable of speaking out and bringing charges—which I think is good,” said : Durward Owen, executive director of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. Pi Kappa Phi, which has 6,500 members at 142 colleges and univer sities, voted six years ago to take a stand against sexual abuse. Owen said a growing number of frats have begun discussing the problem in the past two years. “We noticed so many instances of athletic team rapes and dorm rapes and date rapes being reported,” said Owen. “It appeared that many times, these things had gone on in the past and were accepted at face value.” Pi Kappa Phi mails literature to lti chapters and examines the issue al regional meetings. Its chapters often offer seminars with other campui I groups. In 1M7, California’s Legislature <i voted to suggesst that the state’s col leges and universities adopt coder prohibiting rape and settini understanding of, or deny, what con stitutes a rape,” said the report. Ignorance is only one aspect of the problem; mob psychology, peer pressure and alcohol abuse also con tribute to these campus rapes. Shawn Johnston, a forensic psychologist at the University of California-Davis who treats sex of fenders, said gang attacks may in dicate a “perverse group dynamic talcing place in terms of these young fellows attempting to out-macho each other. It’s kind of a wolfpack phenomenon.” Sandler of the Association of American Colleges said most gang rapists are fraternity brothers or team athletes. “Very often, these men are simply raping for each other. They’ll do something they might not do if they were by themselves.” She said women who report campus attacks often are harassed by the rapists and their friends; many drop out or switch schools after their at tackers start using sexual slurs or other intimidation tactics. Johnston said there are times, like when alcohol is involved, when “the line that differentiates the consen sual, or voluntary, from a forcible act is fairly thin.” That, say women’s advocates, contributes to a “blame the victim” attitude, even by the vic tim herself. “I don’t care if a woman walks into the room raving drunk and stark nak ed; it’s not an excuse to be raped,” said Clare Kaplan, executive director of the Washington-based National Coalition Against Sexual Assault.” Brown’s Simon agrees, but still urges caution. She says booze can lead men to “push themselves on women, misread the cues they’re get ting from a potential partner.” Then, an inebriated woman may not be able to fight off an attacker. “This attitude exists with men: ‘Give them enough to drink and they’ll be easy,”’ she said. “I’ve had men tell me, ‘If she passes out and then we have sex, is that rape?’ I say to these men, ‘What kind of a lover are you? Sex is something that hap pens with two alert, conscious people.’” Owen of Pi Kappa Phi said it took “about 30 years to reach the obses sion with alcohol” that often triggers campus rapes. “We can’t do all that much to make it turn around in a hurry. But I think an amazing tur naround is starting to occur.” North A South GoffAmsociation Seek* Support The North and South Golf Associa tion in conjunction with the Garner Road Family YMCA is currently soliciting support for its annual Youth Golf Clinic.

DINGLE Dingles Obeserve 50th Anniversary In Bailey Rites May 15 was the 50th wedding anniversary ofRuby and Janies Albert Dingle of Wilson who were united in holy matrimony on May 15,1940 in Nash County. They were honored by their 11 children at a marriage blessing ceremony and reception immediately following the morning service at St. Mary Disciple Church of Christ, Bailey, on Sunday, May 20. The theme of the ceremony was “What God Hath Joined Together, Let Not Man Put Asunder,” and their pastor, Bishop E.L. Uzzell, officiated. Gwyn Silver of Durham was the directress of the affair. Music for the ceremony was provided by Dedrick Womble and A1 Perry. The younger Dingle grandchildren gave a congratulatory salute to the couple immediately following the lighting of candles; family friends shared reminiscences; and a daughter, Janice Faye, read the history titled “50 Years of Testimonies.” During the ceremony, other married couples present were invited to receive the pronouncement of blessing and prayer upon their marriages by rising and joining hands as directed by the pastor. In addition to punch being served from a golden fountain and the three tier anniversary cake by Unique Caterers of Durham, another highlight of the reception was the centerpiece consisting of the figure “50” sculpted in ice with a blue and gold floral base. The ice sculpture was selected to symbolize that the first 50 years of a good marriage melted away with God’s blessings of stability, commitment and pleasure; and that the latter years will be better years as the coupled! inks of the Living Water, Jesus Christ. The ice sculpture was embedded in blue flowers which were selected because blue is Ms. Dingle’s favorite odor and she wore blue on her wedding day in 1940. Also, colors for the anniversary celebration were blue, gold and white. Ms. Dingle wore a David Rose designer tea-length dress with antique lace accents and a drop waist. The dress was made of ivory lace over satin with see-through lace sleeves. Her headpiece consisted of a matching headband and shoulder-length veil worn away from the face. The couple’s eight daughters and one daughter-in-law served as matrons in the anniversary par ty and wore light blue silk dresses with matching wrist corsages; Ms. Dingle carried a Colonial bouquet with streamers and a removable wrist corsage. The groomsmen consisted of the couple’s three sons and six sons-in-law. The couple has 12 children, one of whom is deceased. The 11 living children include two sets of twins. The couple raised their children in the church and today all of them have confessed Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. To date, eight of the 11 children have been to college; three hold ad vanced degrees. Among the children there is one doctor who Is also a licensed minister, one teacher, one nurse, one manager in the federal government, one computer operator, one engineer, two manufacturing work-ws, one techni cian, one office clerk, and one private industry team leader. The couple has more than 20 grandchildren and 11 greatgrandchildren. One of the couple’s daughters, Ms. Ruby Diane Vick, lives in Raleigh with her family. Another daughter, Dr. Quentine Finch, serves as director of stu dent teaching at St Augustine's College in Raleigh.

Spirited‘Foods m '&: t • WELFARE f Continued from page 1) Seeing these types of situations on ly spark anger, especially with the taxpayers. But why, then, should welfare recipients work when they re “richer” on welfare than they’d be if they were out working? This goes to show that there are many faults in our welfare system which ls~ causing the government "nd taxpayer un necessarily used money. So what solutions can be applied in order to reduce the economic ex penses incurred by the abuse within our welfare system? Are there any true solutions or % this a no-win situa tion for our country? Perhaps there are some options that will help to better the system and reduce the amount of recipients on the program. One way of reducing food 8tamp abuse is to revert back to the times when the welfare system delivered foods and goods to the reci pients’ homes, or perhaps those caught abusing the food stamp system could revert back to delivered goods. If possible a system for monitoring AFDC checks could be arranged, or a requirement that rent and other necessary bills be taken from the checks first. Perhaps the recipient needs to be given the very minimal amount of financial assistance. Then, the government requiring welfare recipients (not disabled or elderly) to work in order to receive a check. Perhaps the government itself could reduce immigration in our country, since it is very costly to support them. Finally, suggest that the government re-evaluate its priorities in aiding other countries. This is not saying that we stop helping other countries totally. But we need to take care of “our own” first. Perhaps the above suggestions sound immoral, but as a nation we are being faced with look ing at this increasingly growing pro blem. In the welfare system there are people in need of its services, likewise, not everyone abuses the system. However, it is time that Con gress introduce some new laws and/or regulations which will help to weed out the abuse. There may not be a foolproof way, but effort should begin. Perhaps effort needs to begin with a letter to the congressman. H« CAROUNUN Nfelks Ok. la.
