The forum is being moderated by Kevin Ward, di rector of minority affairs and a senior political sci ence and business analysis major, and Srini Narol- la, former president of the India Student association and a graduate soil microbiology student. Ward said he event should be focused on prob lem-solving. “I would like to see the forum be solution-orient ed,” Ward said. he Bi of N£ Cadet Continued from Page 1 If the allegations are presented to SCRS, Patterson said they will interview both parties, and collect information and potential witness testimony about the possible violation of University Student Rules. Patterson said if the matter goes to a hearing, hearing of ficers will be from the Department of Student Life as well as the Corps of Cadets. Patterson said, if after a hearing, it is determined the sophomore violated University Student Rules, he could face possible disciplinary sanctions ranging from a rep rimand to expulsion from the University. Counseling Continued from Page 1 , Correspondence between the victim and the Brazos Valley Rape Crisis Center remains confidential and the files are deleted when a victim stops correspondence. Cybercom Internet Services of College Station designed the Web site through a program that embeds the information in the Web site. The victim selects a name and password for counseling with the center and all communications are embedded in the home page. The victim can re trieve the information from the Bra zos Valley Rape Crisis Center using the alias name and password, simi lar to the embedding program used by credit-card companies. Hostetter said increasing ac cess to computers and to the In ternet may lead to an increase in online counseling services. “As far as we know, we are the only rape crisis center that pro vides counseling online that is free, anonymous and confiden tial,” Hostetter said. Hostetter said an estimated 90 percent of women who are raped never report the crime, never con sult a physician and never seek counseling. “The (online) service is vital to helping a client,” Hostetter said.
