Suspect

Lora Bertelsen, A&M De
partment of Student Life coor
dinator of women’s programs,
said that when a survivor rec
ognizes her attacker, the
woman may relive the trauma
of the rape all over again.
“That would have to be huge
shock,” Bertelsen said. “What I
would want to do as a survivor is
say, ‘No, that isn’t the guy.’ And
then as I got to my car, I would
say, ‘No, I have to call somebody.
“Then an awkward time
would follow wondering whether
it’s him, whether the police will
do anything about it, whether it
will actually go to trial.”
The Department of Student
Life, Aggies Working for a Rape
Free Environment (AWARE)
and University Police said
though an arrest has been made,
the campus is not free of crime.
“People have to realize that
the campus is a microcosm of
our society,” Wiatt said. “Anyone
can be a victim if they are not
aware of the possibilities.
"[UPD’s] greatest frustration
is that we’re doing everything
possible of a law enforcement
agency. We’re having crime pre
vention seminars and telling
[students] not to make them
selves victims of opportunistic
criminals. But you can’t have a
police officer in your hip pocket
wherever you go.”
Michelle Pickard, AWARE
graduate adviser, said most rapes
are committed by acquaintances.
“The ones that we should be
worried about aren’t the ones
with their pictures on the wall,’
Pickard said, “but the ones we’re
going out with Friday night.”

dignity and prestige.
Moore said King’s memory helps him every day
in his studies and pushes him to strive harder.
“(Because of King) I don’t just settle for a B,”
Moore said. “I go for the A.”
Hamsberry and Moore’s comments were in
terrupted by numerous ovations. But more ova
tions were reserved for the ceremony’s keynote
speaker, Donovan Wheatfall.
Wheatfall, a sophomore business major, spoke
of a “deferred American dream,” an allusion to
King’s famous “I Have A Dream” speech.
Wheatfall, who delivers speeches around the
world, said the United States was on the verge
of realizing the American dream three years
ago, but has since lost its way.
Civil rights

There the students visited the National Civil
Rights Museum. In this building, formerly
known as the Lorraine Motel, James Earl Ray
shot King while the pastor was standing on the
balcony of his hotel room on April 8, 1968.
King’s room and the balcony have since
been converted into a memorial to King and
his works.
Beth Yohe, a member of the tour group and a
senior speech communication major, said the tour
reached its emotional climax at the museum.
“When we saw his hotel room and the spot on
the balcony where he was shot, it was very over
whelming,” Yohe said. “It’s sad and frustrating.”
Boney said King’s room had a powerful im
pact on him as well. On the balcony, a large
screen flashed videos of the pastor’s “I Have
Been to the Mountaintop” speech.
“I must have stood there and listened to
that speech five times,” he said. “And every
time, when he got to that last line where he
says, T may not get there with you, but we as
"America is asleep,” Wheatfall said. “She has
fallen asleep on the job. Today we feel that the
only thing right is to get by, and the only thing
wrong is to get caught.”
The rapid progress of technology has not been
accompanied by a similar change in equality,
Wheatfall said. These changes have widened the
gap between the rich and the poor.
"... The ability to purchase a hamburger has
increased,” he said, “but our ability to pay for
that hamburger has decreased.”
Wheatfall’s speech also focused on the history
of racial tensions at A&M, particularly the admin
istration’s decision to reject the U.S. and Interna
tional Cultures Requirements last semester,
Wheatfall said the administration considered
the rejection a “mercy killing,” and he urged mi
nority students at A&M to “wake up and smell
the coffee.”
But Wheatfall offered hope to th^ University
as well, saying that though A&M is not a perfect
university, it has “perfect potential.”
a people will get there,’ I cried.
"It was just the culmination of everything
we had experienced that week. It was a kind
of closure for the trip.”
Intense emotions and personal insights are
what the touring students said they hope to
share Wednesday during a special presenta
tion to students. The program, titled “Drum
Majors For Justice; Personal Perspectives on
the Civil Rights Movement,” will be held at 7
p.m. in 201 MSC.
Gerra called the tour “the best experience
of my life” and said all students should take
the tour.
“This should be a class offered all the time,”
Gerra said. “I wish everybody would go.”
