[The Department of Student
jffairs will present a program
oh rape prevention, defense and
[osecution Monday at 7:30 in
! ffl08 Rudder.
Lk Jan Winniford, assistant
IBrector of student affairs, says
*‘'Bere will be three speakers at
tie one-hour presentation,

Women.”

' attorney, will explain the legali-

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 Best of Broadway
is back in
Bryan-College Station!
MSC Town Hall / Broadway is bringing Broadway
back to Texas A&M for another triumphant sea
son! Last year Town Hall/Broadway offered its first
season ticket package to rave reviews. This year
should be even better: more shows, more songs,
more dance, more laughter. More of the finest the
atre in New York, brought to Bryan-College Station
for you! And all at a savings!
You get the same seats for every performance, a
20% discount from individual ticket prices and
priority seating for the 1984-85 season. We’re bring
ing Broadway back—just for you!
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.
PUMP BOYS AND DINETTES
April 16, 1984
Take Highway 57 from Smyrna towards Frog
Level. Watch close and you’ll find a gas station right
across from the Double Cupp Diner, run by them
Cupp sisters, Prudie and Rhetta. Roll into the sta
tion and them “Pump Boys”—Jim Jackson, Eddie
and L.M. — will fall all over you, (if you’re buying
the beer, of course). Or just pull off on the side and
get your ears filled with high octane down-home
country rockabilly, bluegrass, gospel and blues.
“As refreshing as an ice-cold beer after a bowl of five alarm
chili.’—New York Times.
