Amy was introduced to Roger at a
friend’s party. When her ride had to
leave, Roger volunteered to take her
home. Amy invited him in, hoping
he would ask her out. But instead
she was pushed to the couch and as
saulted. Amy was a victim of ac
quaintance rape.
“Acquaintance or date rape is de
fined as forced intercourse by some
one the victim knows, without her
consent,” says Jan Winniford, assis
tant director of Student Affairs. “It
is something which has just grown
up to be an issue because of the sig
nificant number of females who are
reporting date rape.”
In a 1983-84 survey of 703 A&M
undergraduates by Dr. Charlene
Muehlenhard, assistant professor of
psychology at Texas A&M, and Mel-
aney Linton, a psychology under
graduate, 16.6 percent of the
women polled reported having had
sexual intercourse against their
wishes while on dates. About 8.6
percent of men polled said they have
forced a date to submit to inter
course.
In other surveys taken on college
campuses, only a small percentage of
women asked if they have been
raped say yes, Winniford said. But
when the question is rephrased to
ask if a woman has been involved in
sexual intercourse without her con
sent, the percentage jumps to 20%,
she said.
“Women aren’t defining this situ
ation as rape because they feel if you
know the person you’re going out
with, then it’s not the social norm to
be assertive and aggressive,’’Winni
ford said. “Women are taught to be
passive, and it’s this passiveness that
makes it difficult for a woman to
fight back in this particular situation.
“Another reason most women
have trouble defining this as a rape
is because when a woman thinks of
rape, she thinks of a stranger,attack
ing in a dark area. But in 50 percent
of rapes, the victim knows the ra
pist.”
Although any woman can be a vic
tim of acquaintance rape, most vic
tims on college campuses are fresh
men, Winniford said.
“Freshmen are. more vulnerable
than upperclassmen,” she said.
“They want to be accepted, so they
bend to pressure and the need to
please their dates.”
Acquaintance rape usually occurs
on the second or third date, Winni
ford said, because on the first date
the woman is less likely to invite the
man into her apartment. It usually
happens on weekends and lasts
longer than stranger rape, she said.
The rapist is less likely to use lethal
weapons than verbal threats and
physical strength, she said.
Guilt is a common feeling among
victims of acquaintance rape, said
Dr. Kerry Hope, counseling psychol
ogist and associate director of Stu
dent Counseling Services. It shakes
the person’s confidence in herself
and she begins to question if she can
trust someone again, she said.
“First the victim experiences ei
ther no emotion or hysteria,” Hope
said. “Eventually she pulls her life
together from the outside, but the
level of functioning is below the pre
rape. During this time either her
grades go down or her relationships
become crummy. She denies the im
pact the rape had on her. At some
point she’ll nit bottom.
“The victim doesn’t relax, sleep or
eat. She thinks it’s stupid when she
can’t make a B in a class, because
she’s over the rape. But because it’s a
traumatic experience, it could take a
couple of months to forever to re
cover from it.”
Individual counseling is recom
mended, Hope said, to Help the vic
tim overcome feelings of shame,
guilt and depression. A survivors’
group which meets weekly at the
counseling service allows a victim to
share her doubts with women who
have had similar experiences.
Acquaintance rape occurs when a
woman’s defenses are down and
she’s unprepared to handle the at
tacker, Winniford said. A good form
of prevention is to avoid problem sit
uations:
• If you meet someone at a party
or bar, don’t accept a ride home un
til you know him better.
• Drink alcohol responsibly.
• Be aware of how you are com
ing across to your date. If you say
no, mean no. Avoid playing games.
• Watch the nonverbal messages
in your posture, clothes and eye-con
tact.
“Don’t try to talk or plead your
way out of tnis situation,” Winniford
said. "If you sense something is
going to happen, be assertive and
firm in your answer. Don’t be afraid
to hurt feelings. A self-assured and
forthright response is the best form
of prevention.”
Rape program set
By TAMARA BELL
Stair Writer
In order to heighten Texas A&M
students’ awareness with “acquain
tance rape” and “date rape” on col
lege campuses, the Department of
Student Affairs is sponsoring a pro
gram Monday at 7 p.m. in 607 Rud
der Tower.
The program begins with a defi
nition of date rape and why the issue
has become a problem on many cam
puses across the country said Jan
Winniford, assistant director of Stu
dent Affairs.
“The main problem with this issue
is that it goes unreported,” Winni
ford said. “It’s the lack of knowledge
on victims’ part. Many female stu
dents assume they contribute or
cause the assault. The action is
against their will, yet they feel re
sponsible.
“The victim doesn’t think of it as
rape or sexual assault. The program
is designed to inform the student
that sexual intercourse without con
sent is rape.”
The video tape “It Still Hurts,”
which shows the re-enactment of a
date rape, explores the situation and
the psychological trauma which the
student experiences in the af
termath, Winniford said.
The victim’s psychological prob
lems and her interaction in future
dating situations will be discussed by
Dr. Kerry Hope, a counseling psy
chiatrist and associate director of the
Student Counseling Service.
“We want the female students to
realize that if they don’t want a sex
ual relationship it’s their right to re
fuse,” she said. “And they should
feel comfortable with their decision,
not guilty.”
Although the subject matter is
considered a women’s issue, men can
benefit from the program, Winni
ford said.
“There’s a misconception in our
society,” she said, “that a woman ex
pects to be forced — that a ‘no’
means ‘yes.’ The program explains
that, on the contrary, that idea isn’t
true.
