Becki Elkins-Nesheim, coordina
tor of the Women’s Program in the De
partment of Student Life and organiz
er of tonight’s Take Back the Night
Rally, said people do not really talk
about violence in dating relationships.
“Hopefully we can bring awareness
about die issue of date rape,” Elkins-
Nesheim said.
The A&M chapter of the National
Organization ofWomen (NOW) also
is sponsoring tonight’s rally.
Crissy Gonzalez, vice president of
the organization and a senior sociolo
gy major, said the problem of date rape
at A&M is bigger than people think.
“It is a combination of covering up
the problem and not publicizing that
there is a problem,” Gonzalez said.
She said tonight’s rally aims to
bring about awareness.
“It is for the people who don’t real
ize that they know people who have
been assaulted,” Gonzalez said. “It is
kind of a prevention and awareness.”
Castoria said the main reason
women do not report rape is a feel
ing of fear.
“There is a feeling of being partly
responsible," Castoria said. “All sur
vivors feel this way. There is a myth
that women are responsible and
should be able to prevent it, but men
are responsible as well.”
Wiatt said while the police cannot
force women to come forward, they
do encourage them to report rapes.
“There are a lot more date rapes
THINK AHEAD. APPLY TODAY.” CALL I'SOO'CITIBANK
