Page 4/The Battalion/Tuesday, October 18, 1983 CS board questions need of building renovation by Christine Mallon Battalion Staff The College Station School Board became the subject of controversy at Monday night’s meeting when Assistant Super- intendent Donald Ney announced it would cost more than $9,000 to renovate an old building to make the facility ade quate for future school board meetings. The new school board meet ing facility was the first of two new proposals discussed at the meeting. The board had been meeting in the Oakwood Middle School Library until this fall when all meetings and workshops were moved to the Multiple Hand icapped Building located at 107 Timber. The handicapped building is old and needs a lot of work be fore it can be used as a commun ity meeting center, Ney said. Lunch Specials A large selection awaits you on our luncheon menu.

Texas Avenue (Across from the Ramada Inn) 846-5711 There were mixed emotions about renovation costs from other board members and mem bers of the audience. “How can we spend $9,000 on a building renovation for our own benefit, when we can’t afford to buy 40 Big Macs for the high school football players?” board member Mike Fleming asked in reference to the recent athletic budget cut in the dis trict. Trustee Charles Giammona disagreed with Fleming’s com ment and assured the rest of the board and the audien.ee there was indeed enough money to cover the expenses of renovat ing the building. “Before we make any deci sions, we should look into the possibility of using another place for our meetings,” Giam mona said. The other members of the board, including President Bruce Robeck, agreed that re novation will occur only if there aren’t any other alternatives. The board also voted to accept Superintendent H.R. Burnett’s proposal for an amendment to a drug activities rule listed in the school district’s student handbook. The new rule concerning drug possession reads “No stu dent snail possess, use, transmit or be under the influence of any narcotic drug, hallucinogenic, amphetamine, barbituate, mari juana including seeds, and stems, drug paraphernalia (in cluding but not limited to pipes, scales, roach clips), alcoholic be verages or other intoxicants. c Hi the >•' % an< toHe iivi r Been waiting for this? % U.F.O.

Turner, addressing students attending a rape prevention program sponsored by the stu dent affairs department, de fined rape as sexual intercourse — without the consent of the woman — that involves force or violence or threats of force or violence. Rape is the most serious offense a person can commit and still leave the victim alive, he said. Jan Winneford, assistant director of student affairs, said the two types of resistance are passive and active. In active resistance, the vic tim reacts as quickly as possible so that the attacker is incapaci tated, giving the victim lime to escape, she said. Iiis defenses so ihaiu| escape.

Their friends and family, in stead of asking them why they didn’t fight Jrack, should con vince them that if they are alive, they did the right thing, he said. The three choices women have when placed in a potential rape situation are to run, Tight or freeze. Ninety-five percent of rape victims freeze and are putty in the rapist’s hands.
