Further Attempts Planned to Reduce Campus Violence by Seth R. Sams News Editor Assaults on campus have gone up in recent years, as reflected in previous articles in the Western Carolinian, and students and staff have begun to take notice. Aggravated assault, which is classified as when a victim requires medical treatment, has remained constant throughout the years between 1993 and 1998. The most reported was in 1996 with 7 incidents. Only 5 were reported each year in 1997 and 1998. However, simple assaults have gone up considerably in past years. Until 1995, the most reported in one year was 9 incidents. In 1996 the number of reported incidents rose to 16 and in 1997 it took a leap to 35 reported simple assaults. "Domestic dispute laws have changed in the last few years," commented Gene McAbee, director of public safety. "The laws now not only include married couples, but also live-in boyfriends and girlfriends, and couples of the same sex." This has in part contributed to the increase in simple assault cases. McAbee also commented that the number of domestic disputes did increase in 1997 and that many did involve alcohol, as did the incident reported in Scott Dorm in this week's Public Safety Highlights. "When alcohol is involved, you lose your inhibitions, and your ability to talk your way out of a conflict," McAbee said. Despite the dramatic increase in 1997, simple assaults did decrease in 1998, back down to their previous position in 1996 of 16 reports. Since these increases, certain incidents, aggravated or otherwise, have brought the issue to the forefront, such as the incident that occurred outside the Old Student Union in October of 1998. OJ Morris, SGA president, has made two attempts to resolve the still brewing conflict from October peacefully, without putting blame on any one of the two groups involved, by holding a town meeting, in viting everyone involved and all concerned students. "We need to come together and make a resolution," Morris stated. "We can't rewrite the past but we can change the future." A third meeting is planned for next week. For exact dates, times, and more information, contact SGA at 7299 later this week. Other organizations, such as BrotherPeace, have also been trying to help the situation by preventing violence. SGA will also be holding programs concerning sexual abuse and another on alcohol abuse in early March. Appalachian State University received only one more report of a violent crime than WCU. However, other universities in the Raleigh/Durham area receive significantly more reports due to their location. Duke received 21 reports, North Carolina Central University received 23, NC State received 17, and UNC-Chapel Hill received 10. V A) ft
