If the victim is considering prose
cution, she should call the Student
Legal Adviser. It is important that
she not destroy any evidence by
changing clothes or bathing.
“A woman’s only evidence is her
body,” Hope said. “Even brushing
her hair or going to the bathroom
can destroy evidence.
After the medical examination,
the counselor will help the woman
prepare a written transcript of what
happened while it is still fresh in her
mind.
“It is extra important for a woman
to go back over the incident as soon
as possible before she puts it away in
her mind,” Hope said.
“There are a lot of reactions to
this type of loss,” she said. “We try
to take care of (the victim) emotion
ally. Some are immediately okay,
but then weeks later fall to pieces. ”
Hope said no mention of the inci
dent will go into the student’s rec
ords or transcripts.
“We are confidential within the
limits of the law,” Hope explained.
"We are required by law to do what
we can to preserve life.”
The rape victim doesn’t have to
press charges or have the medical
examination to receive counseling
from Hope or Dinuzzo.
“We re not going to force them to
prosecute,” Hope said. “Some
women don’t want to go through
that.”
If the victim decides to not have
the medical exam, she can call the
Personal Counseling Service (845-
4427) for help with her emotional
needs. After 5 p.m. and on
weekends, she can call the Health
Center (845-1511) and they will help
her get in touch with one of the
counselors.
Another service is the Crisis Hot
line (779-2000) run by the Mental
Health — Mental Retardation Cen
ter. They are not yet a 24-hour serv
ice but hope to be soon.
A seminar on rape prevention was
held on campus in the fall of 1978,
Larabee said, but in spite of exten
sive advertising only 40 people at
tended.
“Of those 40 people, 90-100 per
cent felt better prepared,” she said.
A part of the seminar was a panel
discussion in which University
Police Chief McDonald and other
members talked about rape preven
tion. They said a woman should:
—Always have her keys in her
hand when she walks to the car.
—Always check the back seat be
fore getting into the car.
—Keep doors locked at all times.
—Use only her initials in mailbox
and telephone listings.
—Avoid walking alone.
Most important, women at Texas
A&M should be aware that they are
not immune to the dangers of possi
ble rape simply because they live in
a college town.
Although a woman can’t spend
her life cringing in fear every time
she sees a man, it is wise to be cau
tious — especially if she is alone.
