Air Force rthday this lion will be Workshop will train volunteers By Jody Kay Manley Reporter A training workshop will be held omOct. 6 through Oct. 9 for peo- e interested in becoming volun- ersatthe Brazos County Rape Cri- Center. The center provides counseling to pe survivors as well as community (vices. Services include a 24-hour tone service, survivor group lead- ,an escort service and a speaker’s freau. The center has 40 volunteers, five whom are Texas A&M students, teran volunteer Nancy Burnett ys. Anyone interested in becoming a unselor must go through the lining sessions and an interview'. The sessions will run from 7 p.m. 9p.m. each night. Interested peo- e should call 776-7273 for the irkshop location. On the first day of the training irkshop, Bob Wiatt, board presi- nt and director of security and fficatA&M, will present a profile a rapist and policies of law en- Ircement agencies. On the second ,,the state Department of Human rvices will go over policies and vcedures on child sexual abuse “/ think people get involved as counselors because of a human desire to help people and as an outrage against rape. ” — Volunteer Nancy Burnett cases and a tour of an emergency room is scheduled. Rape prevention and awareness and the legal aspects dealing with sexual assault will be covered on the third day, while the fourth and final day will deal with the counseling as pects. The crisis center also works with the Department of Human Services to provide extra training for those counselors working with child survi vors. Burnett said the use of the term “survivor” is a positive term and is supposed to imply that the victim is going to survive the trauma. A survivor group leacier conducts the survivor meetings and keeps the conversation flowing, she said. An escort usually meets the survivor at an emergency room or a police sta tion. “We discourage a survivor from going back home if that is the place of the incident,” Burnett said. “It is easier to face the situation after a rest.” Burnett said the counselors en courage the survivors to report the crime to the police to try and stop the rapist. If a survivor does not want to file a report herself but wants it reported, a “Jane Doe” statement can be filed. A Jane Doe statement is a full report with all the details except the survivor’s identity. “Fear and shame make a woman keep it a secret,” Burnett said. “Some women don’t want to go through the trauma, and some don’t want anyone to know.” Burnett said she became inter ested in becoming a counselor as a form of community outreach. “I think people get involved as counselors because of a human de sire to help people and as an outrage against rape,” she said. Burnett added that some of the counselors are rape survivors. “I think rape survivors become counselors out of empathy for other survivors, and it is therapeutic for the counselor when helping others,” Burnett said. Volunteer coordinator Juli Smith said the counselors are supposed to be advocates of the rape survivors. The center receives 10 to 14 calls on new rape cases per month, but there were only 54 cases of rape re ported last year in the Bryan-College Station area. The center also receives calls from rapists and male victims. Burnett said most of the male victims are vic tims of homosexual assaults. She also said there are more cases of child sexual abuse being reported. “Child sexual abuse is ancient, something that has been covered up and denied for years,” she said. ' Burnett said she believes date rape cases now are being more se riously recognized as well. She said the center is trying to make women understand that when a woman says “no” and the male still presses, he has become an aggressor. The Brazos County Rape Crisis Center is independent and not affil iated with centers in other cities. &M hosts water conference exas water supply threatened, state stresses conservation 1 By Scott Redepenning i Reporter I Because increases in demand reaten to put a strain on Texas' iV nited water supply, the state has I ] anged its outlook and is placing » ajor emphasis on water conserva- S programs, H. W. Hoffman, ad of the municipal and commer- I conservation unit of the Texas later Development Board, said pursdayin Rudder I heater. Addressing about 80 representa- es of city governments, utility mpanies and engineering corps am around the state, Hoffman inted a new picture for future wa- programs in Texas municipali- i Contrary to past years when lading came more easilv to cities, said, now certain requirements II have to be met for cities to re ive state funding for water pro- ams. These requirements are a result of assage of House Bill 2 last No- mber, which reorganized the :xas Department of Water Re tirees into the Texas Water Com ission and the Texas Water Devel- ■ment Board, Hoffman said. The |WDB, now the financial and plan- ngtool for state water-fund appro bations, has set up two stipulations ir municipalities to get funding, rst, each municipality must de- :lop a long-term conservation pro- am to encourage citizens to save iter without being forced by law. :cond, each must develop a ought contingency program with 1 his doc- ychology, ychologi- s and has ard from as always research retty im- ake more 'Utses for ing assis- arship 'People need to learn to conserve water' By Paula Janda Reporter Agora Corporation president Cary O. Robinette said Thursday that people have developed bad habits when it comes to the use of water and people need to learn to conserve. Robinette, appearing at the 21st Water for Texas Confer ence, said the nation is experienc ing a water crisis, and as times change in Texas people need to be trained to conserve water. The public is being ap proached in several different ways. Communities are using video or slide shows, literature and award programs to present ideas and encourage conservation, he said. “In the Dallas area the utility companies sent out information about conservation,” Robinette said. “This company and others like it are trying to explain the need for better management, not really conservation,” he said. People need to alter their hab its and take shorter showers, Ro binette said. And such little things as not watering lawns at peak times can be very helpf ul, he said. “We can design water-efficient landscape,” Robinette said. “We need to grow plants that don’t need much water.” Using wind control also can work in water management, he said. If wind is screened out, water can be kept from drying up, he said. “The public awareness pro grams seem to be helping, but several people are greatly af fected by it,” Robinette said. “The landscape industry is about the first to suffer,” he said. “If nothing is being planted, that means their sales will go down.” The people that appreciate na ture and landscape also will suf fer, he said. “We shouldn’t over- or under estimate the feeling people have for plants and the environment,” Robinette said. li. Suspect in ax murders called unpredictable Witz academic this year itablished LANCASTER (AP) — David Mar- i Long, the prime suspect in a pie ax murder was a wanderer ih a drug problem that made his lions unpredictable and some- nesdangerous, his friends said. A former co-worker on one of any jobs Long held across the state id the 33-year-old drifter had a mgerous drug habit. “He had a habit of doing speed,” id E.T. “Skip” Barmore, who in cable with Long in Bay City r a cable television company. Vhen he wasn’t on that stuff he was K,” Barmore said. “But when he is on that stuff he was a terror. No mandatory restrictions on water use in the event of a water crisis. TWDB has drawn up a set of guidelines for cities to follow in de veloping these programs but, Hof fman said, they are not steadfast rules. He said the board would like each city to consider all the guidelines but ultimately it must build a program to fit its individual needs. However, he said, all munici palities must have a means for im plementation and enforcement of the two programs already in place before receiving funds. Although it may seem that the state is coming down hard on cities by requiring full-blown water con servation programs, Hoffman as sured his audience that TWDB is there to help and is willing to work with any municipality to draw' up a workable program. He explained that limited supply was not the only reason conservation is needed — money also plays a ma jor role. Texas already spends over a billion dollars a year keeping up existing programs, he said. If Texas learns to conserve more water it will delay the need for new, costly pro jects, he said. Thomas M. Dunning, chairman of TWDB, who introduced Hof fman, said the state doesn’t have the capacity to meet future water de mands. “Texas uses 12 percent of water in the United States,” he said. “Water is this state’s most important resource. Conservation of water is the most critical part, I think, we can play in the future of Texas.” matter what you did, it wasn’t right.” Women recall other things about the 6-foot, 180-pound man. “I remember his ice-blue eyes,” said one woman who worked at the same cable television company as Long in Wichita Falls. Barmore said, “If you ever saw Dave, you’d remember him. It was the way he carried himself.” But Long, accused in a murder warrant of hacking three women to death with a hatchet and steak knife, is still on the loose. The victims, Donna Sue Jester, 37, her 64-year-old cousin, Dalpha Lorene Jester, who was blind and bedridden, and a 20-year-old house mate, Laura Lee Owen, were discov ered Monday. Long was arrested in Buffalo Sun day less than 24 hours after the mur ders were believed committed, but the bodies weren’t found until Mon day. Buffalo police stopped Long for alleged DWI when they reported finding him driving the wrong way on Interstate 45. The car Long was driving was the station wagon stolen from the mur der scene but was not reported sto len yet. Guards at the Leon County jail where Long was held, said he bragged about killing someone that night and at one time he told a jailer he needed to see a police officer be cause he had killed three women. The jailer said he called and woke the sheriff but the sheriff told him to forget it and go home. Lancaster Police Chief John Whitehead said inmates noticed blood on Long’s boots. Whitehead was upset with the way the matter was handled, especially since the DWI was Long’s second DWI arrest, w hich would make it a felony. Long pleaded guilty to DWI but was released without paying the $589 fine. r GREAT NEW OLE DINNERS Buenos Dias Ags! $2. 00 off Dinners All Day Sunday! with current facutly, staff or student id MEXICAN SPECIALTIES Cata OU Grande Dinner Oik conibuutxjn Beet and B*an burnlo lopped with Chll and one Cheese Enchilada with Gravy, both co- v««d with melted Cheeses and Green Onkaru Rice.
