DC Staff writer

Deficiency Syndrome testing, how the AIDS
virus is transmitted, and how to protect
oneself from the AIDS virus will be distrib¬
uted at local mails throughout October as
part of National AIDS Awareness Month.
Because there are 6,006 to 20,000 people
living in Fresno county that are believed to
be infected with AIDS, four local service
organizations are participating in National
AIDS Awareness Month.
The month is dedicated to educating
people about the virus, said Rebecca Shan-
' non, a community outreach coordinator for
the Central.Valley AIDS Team.
"Fresno has a problem," she said.
As of June \r 1991, there were 345, 533
' AIDScases in the world, 176,921 cases in the
United States, 34, 282 cases in California
and 293 cases in Fresno County, according
to the Center for Disease Control and the
World Health Organization.

Date rape preventable
•Information presented in Residence Hall series
By Erin Yasuda
DC Contributing writer
What is the typical image of a
rapist? Probably a hideous-look •
ing<man in a black ski mask jump¬
ing out of the bushes on an unsus¬
pecting female passer-by.
However, the federal Bureau
of Justice Statistics reported that
more than half of all rapes in 1984
were committed by acquaintances
—boyfriends, neighbors, co-work¬
ers — in what is commonly called
"date rape."
Date rape prevention is the
focus of an ongoing series pre-
i by the Residence Hall staff
as part of the regular residence
hafl programming.
Date rape is a campus problem
that is probably very underre-
ported, said Sherri Crah an, direc¬
tor of Residence Life in the Resi¬
dence Halls, who will be speaking
on date rape prevention. ^
Two'other resident directors
will also be making presentations
on date rape prevention.
Throughout the year, the Resi¬
dence Halls also hold programs
on such topics as sex roles, alcohol
awareness, time management and
AIDS. This is the fifth year that the
date rape prevention series has
been held.
"We will talk about campus
rape in general, types of situations
that commonly occur on campus,
and how to prevent date and ac¬
quaintance rape from happening.
Prevention is the real key."
Sue Melntyre, a resident direc¬
tor for Graves Hall who is one of
the speakers in the date rape se¬
ries, said that communication on a
date i s one of the keys to prevent¬
ing date rape.
She said that women need to
know how to communicate their
needs and boundaries to their
dates if they are not comfortable in
a certain situation. "If you mean
'no,' be dear on what you're talk-
