Page 6 • The Battalion Campus Monday • October 23,: Violence Continued from Page 1 know less about government sys tems and help than their poorer counterparts, Vorachek said. Women in lower socioeconomic situ ations have an easier time escaping to welfare programs and public as sistance, she said. Vorachek, who deals with abuse in families on a daily basis at the Women’s Center, said the issue of domestic violence receives a lot of publicity during October, which is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, but is virtually ignored by the press the rest of the year. When domestic violence is men tioned, the real causes are ignored, she said. Citing a recent case in Houston in which a man shot his wife in both knees and the Houston Chronicle headlined the article “Anger, joblessness create tragic mix” she said, “His joblessness did not cause him to batter her. It was just another excuse.” Women should be aware of the possibilities of violence in a rela tionship when it starts, Vorachek said, and should investigate the men they date more carefully. “What we better do is check these guys out,” she said. “You better call their ex-girlfriends. If it’s someone that you meet for the first time, you’d better do some investigating." Women can also protect them selves by knowing the patterns that most batterers follow, she said. An early, intense commitment and romantic possession are both warning signs of a possibility for vi olence in the relationship, Vorachek said. Unexpected violent outbursts followed by profuse apologies and an increase in violent activities on the part of the man are signs that he may be a batterer. Vorachek said batterers are not always easy to spot, and she had dated a man who was convicted of violent crimes against two women. “He was very charming, even af ter having committed two rapes and murders,” she said. The community can be involved in preventing domestic violence in four main ways, Vorachek said. Ed ucation, intervention in abusive sit uations, sanctions for those who abuse and a combined effort involv ing the entire community of men and women can stop domestic vio lence, she said. “Women are not going to do it alone,” she said. “We’ve got to have men beside us, speaking with us.. Not speaking over us, but with us.” Students attending the lecture said they gained support and knowledge during the presentation, and some offered their own experi- Sksfeh CRAPPY^ 1 : 'BETTER BRgAK OUT TW£ ' BLEACH FOR THESe BAD BCFfSb .HER HEHl , WORKING OUT TOGETHER GAWD/ HE WCKIHINY.
