Lk Jan Winniford, assistant IBrector of student affairs, says *‘'Bere will be three speakers at tie one-hour presentation, 1 “Rape — The Crime Against Women.” 1 Bill Turner, assistant district ' attorney, will explain the legali- ^ ties of rape prosecution and talk P Bout Bryan-College Station’s * new rape crisis center, Winni ford said. ■ Winniford and Becky Mykle- list, graduate assistant for the ■udent affairs department and loordinator of the program, will discuss security measures that can be taken to decrease the [lances of being raped. They also will discuss two theories of defense against rape, Winniford said. According to student affairs department statistics, there were no rapes reported on campus in the past two school years. However, College Station re ported 16 rapes in 1982 and nine so far this year. Bryan re ported 28 rapes in 1982 and 10 so far this year. Winniford said some of the victims in Bryan and College Station were students, but that she is not sure how many. “We want students to realize that A&M is not a vacuum where nothing bad happens,” she said. The Department of Student Affairs usually sponsors prog rams similar to Monday night’s presentation twice each semester. Last semester the depart ment sponsored two rape aware ness programs in which it showed films featuring people who had committed rapes, she said. These programs are open to everyone at the University and are extensively publicized. Winniford said the depart ment also sponsors programs for individual groups and clubs upon request. “The department is here to look out after the safety and well-being of the students,” she said. The department wants to make students more aware of how they can protect themselves and their belongings, she said. Winniford said this is especially important for those who live on campus because the opportunity for crime is increased by the number of people. Winniford said the depart ment is emphasizing preven tion. “So many things are the re sult of opportunities being there when it could have been pre vented,” she said.

THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE Starring Maria Muldaur, October 23, 1983 Winner of three Tony Awards, this band of fierce yet totally fallible swashbucklers is pursued by their former apprentice, who is honor bound to exter minate them. They may yet be saved by their pur suer’s starry-eyed love for the fetching Mabel, played by pop recording star Maria Muldaur. A giddy, rollicking adaptation of the original Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. “If you go to the theatre only once this year, this is the show! ”—Newsweek. CRIMES OF THE HEART February 2, 1984 This Pulitzer Prize winning tragi-comedy takes us to an evening with the MaGrath sisters: Babe, out on bail from shooting her husband; Meg, the strug gling singer on leave from a psycho ward; and Lenny, coming to grips with life as an old maid. A wonder of Southern Gothic humor. “A crime for anyone interested in the theatre not to see this play.”—New York Post. BLUES IN THE NIGHT Starring Della Reese, March 27, 1984 A sultry, sizzling show about three women in 1938 hotel rooms crying the blues. Defiant, nostalgic memories of women who can neither live with men nor without them. Great blues and jazz. “One of the best musical scores to hit Broadway in many a year!’—Newark Star Ledger.
