Rape: Myths dispelled with facts, statistics Chalk drawing done by art students last week on sidewalk in front of the Hinds University Center. See related 'Express Yourself on page 4. (photo by ASB) Hayley Nicholas StaffReporter Myth: Rape is perpetuated only by strangers. Fact: According to the NC Crime Prevention Division, 50% of rapes involve acquaintances,andtheacquaintancedoes not have to be a casual one. Myth: Rapists fit a stereotype that can be easily spotted and avoided. Fact: The NCCPD states that "assailants come from all areas of society regardless of age, race, appearance, or so cial standing." Myth: Who the rapist is determines the seriousness of the crime. Fact: No matter who the rapist is the NCCPD's definition of sexual assault still applies. The definition reads: "any forced sexual activity that is against a person's will. The force may come in the form of physical force, or it may be mental and emotional pressure, coercion or manipulation." Myth: Rape is on the decline. Fact: Rape is one of the fastest growing crimes in our state, up 4% in 1992. Myth: Rape can't happen here. Fact: Two rapes were reported to campus security during the 92-93 school year, but keep in mind that a mere 16% of rapes are ever reported to the authorities. Estimates state that one of eight women will be a victim of rape at some point in her lifetime. The worst and most common myth concerning rape is that it cannot be prevented. In most cases a little common sense and an understanding of personal responsibility are all that prevention requires. College life imparts freedoms not always available in a home environment. It also presents countless situations that would never be encountered at home. These two factors, coupled with the fact that most college students are at an age where they feel invincible, combine to make college women the population of women most susceptible to rape. Acknowledging these facts is one of the most important steps in personal rape prevention.

TheGreensboro News and Record recognizes Lee as "one of the best poets in the United States." Lee is the author of two critically ac claimed books of poetry. "Rose" received New York University's Delmore Schwartz Memorial Poetry Award, and "The City in Which I Love You" was chosen as the Academy of American Poet's Lamont Poetry Selection for 1990. Lee's works have also appeared in such major literary journals as American Poetry Review, Iowa Review LI-YOUNG LEE and Ploughshares. Lee was born in Indonesia in 1957 where he and his Chinese parents fled after his father spent a year as a political prisoner. They travelled throughout Asia before finally arriving in America.
