for competition for "those'who
might not have been interested in
participating in athletic events.
"The average first or second-
year college student who keeps
up-to-date on current events should
be able to answer at least half of
the questions, there usually isn't
anything too obscure." Baxter said.
"The real testis how fast a question
can be answered."
The tournament itself is made
up of two seven minute halves.
^ Each question is worth 10 points,
with a bonus question worth 30
points. If a player answers
incorrectly, the 10 points are
deducted from his or her team's
score.
The team with the most points
wins, in the event of atie,a"sudden
death" question will determine the
winner.
According to Dan S toff el,
program director of the College
Bowl Company, the College Bowl
was first created in 1953 by Don
Reid, who still is an owner of the
company.
"From 1953 to '57 it was a
radio show, and from '59 to '70 it
was on television every Sunday
afternoon. The national
tournament, which includes the
winning teams from 15 regions,
plus a wild card team, is still
televised." Stoffel said.
The College Bowl Co.-works
together with Associated College
Unions International to organize
the event. College Bowl Co.
provides the rules and questions,
and the ACUI finds volunteers and
coordinators.
"The whole idea of the College
Bowl is to mix academics with
recreation." Stoffel said. "We want
to encourage people to get
involved. We are stressing
academics, which usually are
overshadowed by athletics. The
College Bowl is considered a
varsity sport"

wider appeal."
Coming out is a difficult
process, said Deborah Bey, co-
president of the society, because
students fear becoming estranged
from friends and family.
"There isall the stigma and fear
of not being accepted by families
and your friends," she said. "When
you think of coming out, there
automatically comes to mind a
stereotype of what a gay or lesbian
is, and those stereotypes are all
wrong. And there is strong fear of
losing your friends and family."
John Nichols, director of the
student center at the University of
Denver, said the National Coming
Out events were sponsored by the
school, and educational programs
ranged from gay "activism to
explaining how people can let
friends and family know they are
gay, lesbian or bisexual.
This is the second year the
University of Denver has
sponsored the event In 1991,
Parents and Friends of Lesbians
and Gays conducted a session on
how to be an ally of homosexuals.
There was also a panel on
homosexuality and religion.
"We stayed away from the
AIDS because it is sort of like
talking about two issues," Nichols
said.

dangerous driver, she said.
Additionally, the date rapist tends
to have more sexual partners than
other men.
In studies Koss did, she found
that 75 percent of the perpetrators
had been drinking when the rape
occurred, and that 50 percent of
the victims had been drinking.
Alcohol itself won' t lead to arousal,
since it's a depressant, she said;
rather, it builds the expectation of
. sex. A man who is drunk is likely
to be directly aggressive with a
woman, and after a rape occurs,
blame the alcohol, and not his own
action.
Of 460 men Koss surveyed at
the University of Arizona, five
percent said they had raped a
women and nine percent said they
had tried.
What is important to remember,
said Jay Friedman, who gave a
lecture ori how the media depicts
sex, alcohol and power, is that
rape is never, never, never the
woman's fault. Men will force a
woman to have sex to prove he's
heteVosexual. Men becofne more
physical when their hormones
rage. Women want emotional and
^verbal support"

date rapes, Koss discounted the
notion that fraternities are filled
with potential rapists.
"The place of residence does
not predict sexual aggression. It is
people who are aggressive and not
the environment," she said.
However, an environment
which does foster sexual
aggression is sports, she said,
especially such revenue sports as
football and basketball. Athletes
tend to feel elite and special, and
live in an environment that
"reinforces dominance on another
person. They can be insensitive to
body size," Koss said.
Sandler, with the Center for
Women Policy Studies, said that
colleges and universities are at
legal risk if there are no policies
regarding rape and sexual
harassment Additionally, schools
must develop and publicize
educational programs dealing with
rape, have explicit rights posted
for rape victims and work with the
court systems and police in rape
cases, she said.
"Rape is a felony that must be
handled different from other
campus judicial procedures," she
said. "Rape is not about sex."
