Culpepper Plaza World/Nation College students feel rapes result from sexism in societ !*»»» I 1 1 I I I i i College Station’s Newest Restaurant URBANA, Ill. (AP) — University of Illinois students, shaken by a series of rapes, are taking steps to protect them selves and to fight the sexism many blame for the attacks, student leaders and school officials say. The attacks around the campus stopped when police identified a suspect, but students are labeling sexism a factor — a message underscored with a candle light march and rally Wednesday night. Detective Gerald Schweighart said Thursday.He was identified just before the series of rapes stopped — around Sept. 10. Police are awaiting results of tests on the suspect’s blood and have made no ar rest, Schweighart said. “The message at the rally was that sexism is in our society and it is the cause of a lot of things that go wrong — rape, discrimination and women feeling low self-esteem,’’ Jane Brouwer, presi dent of the Panhellenic Council, said Thursday. The council represents about 3,500 so rority members on the 35,000-student Investigators believe about nine rapes have been committed by the same man since spring, Schweighart said. The rally Wednesday united groups as diverse as the Panhellenic Council, the campus chapter of the NAACP and a po litical coalition. United Progressives. “We’re not asking for pity . . . we’re demanding respect ... for the strength it takes to go through this experience.” Keller said. “The vast majority of women are raped by friends, relatives, and people who live in their dormito ries.’’ Petitions were circulated urging pay equity at the university, more education on the problems of sexism, and more emphasis on ensuring campus safety. Participants also condemned campus traditions such as panty raids. has always had a problem with se®i Jochims said at the rally.

U.S. offers relief for Sudan famine WASHINGTON (AP) — The Sudan has agreed to let the United States pro vide relief to its famine-ravaged southern region, and food and medical supplies began moving Thursday to thousands of sick and starving people, the State De partment said. But there were no assurances that re bels fighting a guerrilla war with the government would allow the assistance to get through. They have attacked civil ian planes and truck convoys, and inter fered with the International Red Cross in its effort to work out relief schemes, spokesman Charles E. Redman said. lations between our people and the peo ple of the United States.” The Sudanese government, which has fought an intermittent war with Chris tians and Animists in the south who op posed the imposition of Islamic law, had resisted delivery of food supplies into re bel areas. Lately, however, the rebel Sudanese People’s Liberation Army, commanded by U.S.-educated Col. John Garang, has fired on relief planes and convoys, mak ing assistance difficult. The rebels are backed by the Marxist government in Ethiopia. The airlift was begun after Sudanese Prime Minister Sadek el-Mahdi met in Khartoum with U.S. Ambassador G. Norman Anderson and Walter Bollinger, an official of the U.S. Agency for Inter national Development. The agreement breaks a deadlock be tween the government and foreign aid donors. The relief plan was drawn up by a team from the State Department’s Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance, the Suda nese government and other donors, in cluding private groups, according to a cable from the U.S. ambassador in Khar- Redman said “there can never be any assurance” the rebels would hold their fire and let the aid reach the hungry and homeless. He called the rebels “a se rious obstacle to getting relief to war vic tims in the South. ” The United States has good relations with Sudan, which received $100 million in American aid last year.

Anti-drug film! show students how to say no Naj stor WASHINGTON (AP) — The De partment of Education plans to mail nearly 80,000 videotapes of anti-drug films targeting students of all ages to school districts across the nation. Ed ucation Secretary Lauro Cavazos an nounced Thursday. The 10 films, produced at a cost of $5.5 million to the agency, include such stars as Academy Award winner Lou Gossett Jr., Emmy Award win ner Richard Kiley, and Kirk Cameron of ABC-TV’s “Growing Pains.” to the nation’s schools —botlipi. and private —should reach aboitl percent of all students. ”Wc hope they all fmd itar] the classroom and 1 truly belicvtthl they will,” Cavazos said. “We show children at all levels how to turn away peer pressure to use drugs,” Cavazos told a news confer ence where portions of the films were shown on videotape. “We even show them that peer pressure can work the other way. It can be used by a child to encourage a friend to avoid drugs. These videos also teach children that people who offer them drugs arc not their true friends. ’ ’ Cavazos called the films a ml force for the department's ws ;| drugs, and said scripts or videos w field tested before student groups Separate films were made [ail ementary, junior high andsemkl school students.

A copy was obtained by the Asso ciated F’ress. A total of 90 tons of food will be flown into Abyei, where an estimated 25,000 refugees have gathered and more are expected as the rainy season ends. The plan also calls for 1,500 metric tons of food to be trucked from Kadugli to A1 Muglad and Babanusa to the West for the assistance of displaced Sudanese from the South. To date, the United States has contrib uted $26 million to famine and flood re lief in Sudan. Aid officials here were unable to say how much more the stepped-up effort would cost. WASHINGTON (AP) — The House took a landmark step Thursday when it voted to funnel millions of dollars in grants to colonias — impoverished com munities lining the U.S.-Mexico border — that frequently lack even running wa ter. The cable quoted the Sudanese prime minister as saying; “I have followed the work of the team which is helping us deal with some of our problems. We appreciate that good work and feel it enhances the friendly re- “This is the first time in its history that the U.S. House of Representatives has passed any legislation to specifically assist the colonias,” said the bill’s spon sor, Rep. Ron Coleman, an El Paso Democrat. The measure was the first to pass the House out of a package of proposed im provements for the border region, which the Reagan adminstration has now gone on record to oppose. Coleman’s U.S.-Mexico Border Re gional Commission legislation, how ever, has bipartisan support in the House, including the backing of Speaker Jim Wright, and has a powerful friend in the Senate — Lloyd Bentsen, D-Texas. The proposed commission would de velop plans to provide grants and loans for a broad range of economic devel opment facilities and projects along the border. The Reagan administration, however, contends that six major Cabinet agencies are already working to encourage eco nomic development on the border and that any worthy proposals for projects in the border region can be amply funded through existing programs. The administration said another bu reaucracy would be created and it “could complicate and duplicate these ongoing efforts, and would create pressure for the establishment of additional bureaucra cies to promote the development of other distressed regions.” Coleman said he’s not surprised by the administration’s position. “It’s the same old stuff they give you anytime someone comes up with a way the bureaucracy can deal with prob lems,” Coleman said.
