'he class, instituted by Police Chief larvin Byrd, teaches parents how to >treet-proof” their children, Lt. ernie Kapella said. Kapella said that one in four girls nd one in 10 boys under 16 will he lolested. Many of these, he said, ill be attacked under tire age of six. I Children are taught to “always ■ bey adults,” Kapella said, “but rat’s not always good. “You have the right to say ‘no’ to unt Mary or Uncle John if you on’t want to kiss them.” Joseph LoPiccolo, a psychol- gy professor at Texas A&M, says rat child molesting goes on more onalstol i an ! mos t people suspect.

People are often shocked and stunned to find out that the child molester is a troop leader, a baby sit ter, or even the child’s uncle, LoPic colo said. Kapella said a main goal of the classes is to dispel myths about mo lestation, such as those which sug gest most child molesters are strang ers. “Strangers won’t get close to kids,” said psychology professor Emily Da vidson. “The most likely people are the ones they know and trust.” Probably .99 percent of the people caring for a child are legitimately concerned for his welfare, but Lo Piccolo stresses that that 1 percent makes the difference. While some child molesters use kindness to attract children, others use lures to get children close to them, like shouting fire, pretending to be sick, or picking them up after school, Kapella said. LoPiccolo dealt with both victims (now adults) and criminals at the Sex Therapy Center, Department of Psychiatry, at the State University of New York at Stony Brook where he worked as director of sex therapy. “'This wasn’t molestation,’ is the molester’s most common statement,” LoPiccolo said. ‘“She wanted it,’ they insist,” he said. "So what?” LoPiccolo asks them. “If 1 were the father of a six-year- old, and I told that six-year-old, ‘Why don’t we go buy some guns and go hold up a bank?’ would the judge not hold me accountable?” When talking to Davidson, Ka pella, and LoPiccolo, a picture of the child molester comes into focus. He is white, black, brown, red, yellow, heterosexual, homosexual, young, middle-aged, elderly — in short, he’s anyone and he’s waiting. “Things happen just as well in this community as they do in others,” he said. “Just because we’re small, that doesn’t make us different.” Another class for parents will be gin in November. For more infor mation, call Lt. Bernie Kapella with the College Station Police Depart ment at 764-3605 or Sue Ann Jack- son with the Department of Human Resources at 823-0921 after October 28. Kubiak forms committee on military By JAMES WALKER Staff Writer Before leaving College Station for a whirlwind swing through the 6th Congressional District, Democratic nominee Dan Kubiak, a former Texas legislator for 14 years, an nounced the formation of his Na tional Defense Advisory Team to as sist him in planning nlilitary expenditures. His advisers include retired Gen. James P. Hannigan, former Dean of Students at Texas A&M, retired Air Force Lt. Col. John O. Teague, a Vietnam veteran and Army Col. Wil liam Snyder, interim Director of the Military Studies Institute at Texas A&M. Kubiak said U.S. defense systems have reached such a lull, that if not reversed, world peace cannot be as sured. He said this condition was brought on by the expansion of strategic arms at the expense of multi-purpose weaponry. “The na tion cannot let conventional military forces ... our first line of defense ... deteriorate while focusing attention mostly on the nuclear arms race. “We must focus on military pro grams that can be implemented quickly and give the American peo ple what they need,” he said. Kubiak also expressed disappoint ment over the constant ‘boom-and- bust’ cycle of defense funding. Ap propriations for defense "resemble a pendulum swing to and fro, rather than a reasonable and predictable amount that the Pentagon can antic ipate and plan around,” he said. To correct this situation Kubiak is for the establishment of a long-term budget that military managers can plan around. According to a study oy the Congressional Budget Office, such an approach could save $63 bil lion over five years and purchase the same amount of hardware. r v Mw- —— —nv— xvc—rrrrrxxcrr: Regnant 1 ?

The car failed to yield the right- of-way and was last seen heading north on Asbury, Kline said. The driver was described as a 20- year-old female with short, dark hair, Kline said. She possibly could be of Mexican descent. The student sustained minor damage to the right ankle. Aside from the victim, the only other witness known to the police is a friend that was with the victim at the time of the accident. Neither the vic tim or her friend realized what was happening, Kline said. Police investigators are looking for any other witnesses with infor mation about the accident. Members of the Emergency Medi cal Team responded to the call. The student then was taken to A.P. Beu- tel Health Center were she was treated for a strained and bruised ankle. Anyone with information about the accident is encouraged to contact the University Police, Kline said. 84 PHI KAPPA TAU FRATERNITY * invites you to come party at our* Of:** * ••‘‘vx Sept.8 Saturday 8:30p.m Treehouse Village Pavillion * FREE BEER& ISLAND BREW ^or more information,call 693-3453 jre Outlet lack Ba lore foi »y wher n e of First'’ With $250 in your checking account, you don’t pay us —we pay you.
