The main discussion concerned
ledate rape drug, Rohypnol, and
:s effects.
Hostetter said women involved
the night-life scene should be
Jareful and never leave their
|rinks unattended.
"You shouldn’t accept drinks
om anyone but the bartender,”
e said. “You can’t trust anyone.”
Hostetter urged women to go
out in groups for safety.
Lemay said UPD has seized
drugs such as Rohypnol in the past.
“Another common drug is liq
uid ecstasy,” she said. “If mixed
with alcohol, it could kill you. Peo
ple think this drug enhances their
sexual performance.”
An audience member said she
knew of a fraternity that once
added liquid ecstasy to punch at
a party.
The audience had the opportu
nity to question the panelists about
violence against women.
TAMU NOW led the march
around campus following the pan
el discussion.
Participants chanted, “No more
rape, no more violence, no more
victims, no more silence,” and,
“Women and men unite, take back
the night.”
April is National Sexual Assault
Awareness Month. NOW sponsors
“Take Back the Night” each year all
over the country.

"We’re telling the young people across the state that
hey don’t have to do good in high school to go to col-
[ge,” said Corte, who tried unsuccessfully to amend the
Jill to require universities to automatically admit stu-
Bents who score high on standardized tests.
■ Morales, who ignited a furor among minority groups
lien he said the Hopwood ruling must apply to all public
niversities, called Rangel’s measure a good compromise.
“It would really be helpful in terms of addressing the
fcllout of the 5 th Circuit decision,” he said. “The bill would
tjeconstitutional and would withstand a legal challenge.”

resents minority interests in lawsuits against the state,
also praised the measure.
“It will allow students from all around the state to at
tend Texas colleges and universities,” he said.
The Senate passed a similar bill last week. Rangel’s
measure still faces final approval by the House before
heading to the Senate for consideration.
Another bill also attempting to diversify colleges and
universities won final House approval.
That measure would require colleges and universities
to admit a certain number of undergraduates through
open enrollment, meaning the only requirement for ad
mission would be a high school diploma or the equivalent.
The bill’s sponsor said it targets students who make
good grades but fare poorly on standardized tests or
who had to work through high school to supplement
their family’s income.
