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.

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.

Rape
bffc
Reaction is key to active res/sfa/ictl
by Lauri Reese
Battalion Reporter
Rape is not so much a sexual
feeling for the rapist but is more
a sense of power obtained from
degrading, punishing and hurt
ing someone, Assistant District
Attorney Bill Turner said Mon
day night.
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.

Turner said although the vic
tims often ask themselves what
they did to deserve the rape,
they are in no way at fault, but
are survivors.
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.

If the woman decides to fight,
her best defense would be to
stick her hands in the rapist’s
