ALVARADOThe Battalion Leilani Alvarado observes a metal sculpture that is part of the permanent collection of the College of Medicine's art gallery. By Robin Roach Reporter of THE BATTALION I n July of 1983, Dr. Bob Stone, former dean of the College of Medicine at Texas A&M Uni versity, started an art exhibit in the main lobby of the Joe H. Reynolds Medical Building. The art exhibit is aimed at stim ulating the environment for both the students and the public. "He (Dr. Stone) thought our lobby would make a good site for short-term exhibits," said Kristi Hostman, administrative secre tary for the Public Affairs and De velopment Office in the College of Medicine. The art exhibit features the works of a new artist each month, except for August and September. October will be the first month of the new fall semester in which an artist will be featured. The College of Medicine also has numerous pieces of art which are displayed throughout the Reynolds Medical Building throughout the year. "We have got a permanent:: collection and there's over pieces located all over the bul ing that people can come an; view," Hostman said. "And tk: usually we have a featured arts and tne artist is displayed a! along the walls of the lobby." Along with the artists' works, biography is displayed togivetk viewers some background i mation on the artist. The most common art work are watercolors, oil painting: pencil and ink drawings and son photography. The majority of the artists an from the Brazos Valley area, number of them are faculty mem bers of Texas A&M, mainly frot the architecture department. A reception is held each mont for featured artists where theycai answer questions concerning theii art, or even sell their art. Because the lobby of th Reynolds Medical Buildingisa; area where many students, faculti and the public in general congia gate for various meetings, the ar exhibit offers an interesting al mosphere for those who visit. "it's really nice to have them hibit in our lobby becausewi have a lot of people going in an; out here, and it offers a stimulal ing change," Hostman said. 1 think it's a visually stimulating thing to look forward to becaiK it's not always the same thing here in the lobby." Officer says students should report crimes By Cpl. Betty LeMay Special to THE BATTALION The importance of securing property cannot be stressed enough. Just as important is reporting anything that seems out of the ordinary for the time or place that it is occurring. Report suspicious activity immediately to the university police. About half of all crimes are ever reported, and a lot of suspicious activity goes unreported. Even an anonymous tip is better than no report at all. So, don't hesitate! Trust your instincts! you see or hear something that seems slightly o of place - report it. The longer you wait, the harder it is to catch the criminal. Use one of the emergency phones locat ed around campus, but make that call. The police will need a physical description! the suspect as well as a description of their doth- ing. Also needed is a direction of travel taken and a license plate number if a vehicle is used. If you know about a crime and want to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 775-TIPS. Sexual assaults increase, Cpl. says By Cpl. Betty Lemay Special To THE BATTALION It's hard to think of someone familiar, a date, a steady boyfriend, or a casual acquain tance, as a rapist. Familiarity makes you less inclined to trust your self-protective instincts. Be ing forced into having sex, even if it's by someone you know, is still rape, and it is a crime. Nothing you do, say, or wear gives anyone the right to assault you, sexually or otherwise. In College Station, the in stances of sexual assault are on the rise. In 1991, the total number of reported sexual assaults was 9. However, in '92, the number of re ported sexual assaults through June is 12. Men and women are both re sponsible for preventing sexual assault. Poor communication, mixed signals, body language that contradicts the spoken word are often key factors in date rape. Some things to think about: • Women should set limits and communicate those limits. Trust your instincts. Be aware of sex- role stereotypes. • Speak up when others joke or talk about sexual conquests. Re member drugs and alcohol de crease your ability to take care of yourself and make sensible deci sions. • Men should know it's nevei all right to force yourself on: woman, even if she teases you oi dresses provocatively. If she says, "No" and you think she means "Yes". If you've had sex with her before or you've paid for a night on the town or an ex pensive gift. If a woman is intoxi cated and cannot say no - itis rape. When a woman says no, be yond that point it is rape. It is a felony punishable by two to 10 years in prison and a fine up to $10,000.
