SNOOKS The Battalion ClllLIE CORY IRIISON MORROW A&M students will present a series of skits pertaining to communication in relation ships and sexual situations at 7 p.m. in Rudder 510. “Communication & Rela tionships” is sponsored by Student Health Services, Health Education and Aggie Representatives Educating About College Health (REACH) as a part of Sexual Responsibility Week. Dr. Alicia Marshall of the Department of Speech Com munications and Margaret Griffith, health education co ordinator for Student Health Services, are creators and participants of the event. The program will feature stu dents acting out scenarios concerning sexual issues rel evant to students and rela tionships. There will be four skits, each about a different issue. Marshall said the event will not be a lecture but a light-hearted, student-based presentation. “Our take-home message is for everyone to respect, lis ten to and communicate with their partner,” she said. “One cannot be sexually re sponsible without communi cating with their intimate partner. ” Audience members will have an opportunity to par ticipate in the presentation. Griffith said the audience is an important aspect of the performance because they will be asked to comment on the skits. “We will discuss [with the audience] what happens in a sequence, how they felt about it and how they should react,” she said. Courtney Liebrum, a se nior speech communication major, said she will partici pate in a skit promoting the virtue of self respect. Liebrum said the skits will have scenarios of role rever sal, so the opposite sex will be able to see how the other feels in different situations. “What we want to accom plish is to have students want to take responsibility for their own actions, sexu ality and well being,” she said.
