wire.
He made no mention, however, of
amnesty for those sentenced under
laws prohibiting “anti-Soviet agita
tion and propaganda.”
Soviet dissidents have estimated at
least 1,500 political prisoners remain
in Soviet labor camps, prisons or in
ternal exile.
Besides the Kremlin’s avowed de
sire to reduce the prison camp pop
ulation, the government also may be
trying to deflect Western criticism of
the Soviet human rights record. The
issue has hampered better trade and
political relations with the West.
The Soviets plan a weekend fo
rum on peace and disarmament to
be attended by political, business,
cultural and religious figures from
Western countries. T hey also are
trying to win agreement at the
Vienna conference on European se
curity for a human rights conference
in Moscow this spring.
In Washington, White House
spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said the
Reagan administration hopes the So
viet government “will follow up
these recent moves with the release
of more political prisoners and pris
oners of conscience who unjustly re
main in confinement or exile with
out imposing any requirements that
they recant their previous activities
and limit future activities in support
of human rights.”
By late Tuesday night, the release
of dissidents had not been reported
to the Soviet public. The English-
language service of the Lass news
agency carried a report on Gerasi
mov’s comments, but the report was
not sent by the agency’s Russian-lan
guage service. No mention of the re
lease of dissidents was made on the
evening televised news program
Vremya.

Gerasimov told a news briefing
Tuesday:
“The Soviet Union has been re
examining a number of cases, espe
cially cases related to sentences on
(Article 70) of the Soviet Criminal
Code, concerning anti-Soviet propa
ganda.
“Many of those sentenced on that
article have been addressing appeals
for clemency, and they are being ex
amined and, in many cases, being
granted.”

Surgeon general pushes
TV advertising for condoms
WASHINGTON (AP) —Surgeon
General C. Everett Koop told a
House panel on Tuesday that he fa
vors advertising condoms on net
work television because the national
health threat posed by AIDS “over
whelms other considerations.”
Koop said that such advertising
should promote disease prevention
rather than sexual activity and that,
properly presented, it would pro
vide a valuable health service.
The surgeon general, designated
the Reagan administration’s lead
spokesman on AIDS, did not state
his position on advertising in his pre
pared testimony but expressed
strong support for it in response to
questions from members of the
Health and Environment Subcom
mittee of the House Energy and
Commerce Committee.
“The threat of AIDS is so great
that it overwhelms other consider
ations, and advertising, I think
therefore, is necessary in reference
to condoms and would have a posi
tive public health value,” Koop said.
He acknowledged that condoms
do not provide 100 percent protec
tion against catching AIDS from an
infected partner but added, “With
all the failures and drawbacks, it’s
the only thing we have in the way of
a barrier.”
There is no vaccine or cure for
AIDS, and no one is known to have
recovered from it.
Koop said abstinence is the only
sure way to avoid contracting the
disease sexually, but “that’s not ter
ribly realistic in our society.”
Rep. Jim Bates, D-Calif., asked
Koop to comment on whether tele
vision networks have a particular re
sponsibility because so much pro
gramming contains sexual themes.
“You could make a good case that
if television networks do indeed ped
dle all the attractive parts of sex,
then they should he willing to also
peddle something that might pre
vent the transmission of sexually ac
quired disease,” Koop responded.
“But’ I think even without that
relationship, the threat... is so great
to the people of this country that, of
itself, the public health message and
the preventative aspects of AIDS
that would accompany condom ad
vertising speak for themselves.”
Representatives of the three ma
jor commercial networks — NBC’.,
CBS and ABC — said at the hearing
that they do not carry condom ad
vertisements because network offi
cials believe they would be offensive
to the viewers of many affiliate sta
tions.

The department also uses binocu
lars, wireless microphones and light
sensors along with other surveillance
equipment, he said.
Hornet also said the department
isn’t the only agency on campus
fighting the increase in thefts.
“The MSC has spent quite a bit of
money to set up the securing station
outside the bookstore,” he said.
“There were many thefts outside
the bookstore and students were not
using the lockers,” he said. “So, the
MSC, at its expense, tore the lockers
out, put in check-in booths and
manned them.”
(Continued from page 3)
Group rape, date rape and
aquaintance rape are widely ac
cepted in fraternities and athletic
settings because of “group think,”
Stevens said.
“You have a sense of ‘let’s stay
together as a team’ — the group-
think takes over,” he said. “They
forget that this is a person that
has a heart, a brain and a soul like,
their sister or their mother.
“They get this person drunk,
they flirt and the person gets vio
lated — abused.”
Stevens said his basic philoso-
is that rape occurs in all col
lege communities — no campuses
are immune. The degree to
which these crimes are reported
depend on what type of system
the community has in terms of
dealing with a rape crisis.
The C.A.R.E. program will
end today after several more ses
sions. From noon to 1 p.m., the
Brazos County Rape Crisis Cen
ter will present a date-rape skit at
Lawrence Sullivan Ross statue
and a self-defense demonstration
will he held from 7 p.m. to S p.m.

But Stevens was careful not to
identify all sexual desire as bad.
“There needs to be a balance be
tween enjoying that person as a
whole and sexual pleasure,” he said.
Stevens said men also suffer from
the rape culture. He said women
tend to think of all men as rapists,
which leads to fear.
One student said, “I have been in
the situation where I was walking be
hind a woman, especially at night,
where I could tell that she was a little
scared of me. It makes me feel kind
of bad.”
The group discussed methods of
helping women overcome this fear.
Subtle techniques such as keeping
hands in sight, choosing alternate
/alk.
routes to walk, or offering assistance
when a woman appears to be in trou
ble can help, Stevens said.

Those who attended the meeting
expressed a positive attitude toward
the discussion.
“ft makes you realize that you’re
contributing to a major problem that
you never would have even thought
of,” said David Bryant, a resident ad
viser in Hotard Hall. “It’ll make me
stop and think about what I’m doing
and maybe help me to evaluate
what’s going on with the guys in my
dorm and try to warn them about
what they’re getting into.”
