October 15,1984 The Dally Collegian Editorial Domestic crimes epidemic problem Incidents of family violence are growing increasingly prevalent across the country and statistics still understate the scope and severity ofthe problem, according to a recent report by the U.S. Justice Department. The real statistics are probably much higher because victims of family violence are often unwilling to report the crimes. It is estimated that an incident of child sexual abuse occurs in the United States about once every two minutes, and one victim in five is younger than seven, according to a report filed by the Senate Children's Caucus earlier this year. Locally, one pediatri¬ cian office at the Valley Medical Center sees between four to five new cases of child sexual abuse every week. It can safely be assumed that the statistics for spousal abuse are just as frightening. Every year hundreds of thousands of children are beaten, bruised and some ultimately destroyed as victims of child abuse. They are victims of some parent or guardian's warped sense of discipline, excessive stress, mental disorder or maybe even more frightening, learned behavior. It is increasingly believed by spe¬ cialists that an abusive parent of two children perpetuates the potential for two more abusive families. In 1974 a social worker in New York City first sought help from the courts for an abused child. No laws governing child abuse existed at the time, so the social worker finally managed to have the case reviewed under laws governing the prevention of cruelty to animals. The. first child abuse laws appeared soon after, but these laws were aimed more toward the erring parent than toward the protection of the child. Laws governing domestic violence are very difficult to draft and to enforce. As soon as the government starts to even con¬ sider interference in family matters, there are those that start to accuse it of totalitarian tactics. But there are some sensible measures that should seriously be considered: baby-sitting or child drop-off centers where poor parents can leave their children so they can have a few hours on their own if family stress is a problem; providing education about child abuse, both for teachers and children; easing the rules for obtaining a child's testimony in a court hearing; secur¬ ing help for high-risk infants; increased support for programs that counsel families in trouble; and stiffer penalties for child and spouse abusers. This week the CSUF Counseling Center, in conjunction with the Marjaree Mason Center, is sponsoring a "Focus on Domes¬ tic Violence." It will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 17 and will include seminars and workshops on topics such as Violence and Children, Women and Violence, Why Does She Stay?, Dating Violence, and Physical Abuse and the Abuser. It is well worth the time for students to become more informed on this epidemic problem. It could be the first step in helping bring it under control.

Cau- ler, Joel Davie, Jenifer Dob.er, Cyas* Letters Krishna response Editor After reading Sheryl Boggs'opinion of the Hare Krishna cult, 1 was disturbed by her apparent lack of knowledge on the subject, so I feel compelled to respond. When Ms. Boggs stated that she ex¬ pected "the people at the (Hare Krishna) village to be mindless, weak-willed groupies." she displayed misconception ofthe cult ph Anyone, under the right can be the victim of cult recruitment. Peo¬ ple who are alienated from society or suf¬ fering from other types of emotional stress are the most susceptible. And that is pre¬ cisely why the Krishna's and other cults often canvas campuses where struggling students (who may be away from home for the first time) or soon-to-be graduates are facing an indifferent, cold world. This is known by the Krishna's, and it is why we so often see them there. She also mentions brainwashing. Just what is brainwashing? Most people's notion of it comes straight from Holly¬ wood. Actually, it is just a chnage in the way the brain handles information, and this can be accomplished with amazing ease. When a recruit is brought to a set¬ tlement such as the Krishna village in Three Rivers (usually for "workshops"), he or she is subjected to many activities such as lectures, games singing, etc., which are designed to be physically and mentally wearing. Meals and sleep are often sche¬ duled for odd hoursand this, along with a great deal of new information being thrown at the recruit, produces disorien¬ tation and fatigue, which breaks down the brain's capacity for critical thinking. The recruit starts to believe what would nor¬ mally have been rejected as false. This is nor just my opinion — it is scientifically documented. Just how this happens is unclear, but it is known that when it takes place, the physical pathways of neurons are altered, and brain waves change dras¬ tically. As a consequence, members who leave cults nearly always experience severe problems reintegrating with society and usually require extensive therapy in order to readjust. This is not to say, how¬ ever, that merely "walking through the front door" means instant conversion. By best estimates, only 3-5 percent of original recruits become devotees. Why do they chant? To induce and maintain a trance. Again, let's leave Hol¬ lywood out of it. A person in a trance does not stumble arpund like a zombie. It is an internal state which is not always easily detected. The Krishna's sperfi at least 7 hours a day chanting to maintain this hypnotic state, which is characterized by brain waves similar to those of sleep. Cults, though they invariably have some spiritual philosophy, are centered around a charismatic leader. Without them, ihe cults would fail. An interesting example occured in the USSR. A chapter of Hare Krishna one formed in a Siberiancityand flourished for a while. The leader, how¬ ever, was eventually arrested and the rat of the members, thus deprived, soon drifted apart and the chapter disappeared. Cults are centered around leaden, not spir¬ itual doctrine; they are not bona fide religions. Having visited the Krishna's village, Ms. Boggs probably thinks she has a fair idea of what they are about, though 1 All cults are eager to put on a face of credibility for any and all visitors, but they never show the more unpleasant side of things. I don't suppose they said anything about the assault rifles, grenade launchen, and machine guns which have been found on Hare Krishna property. Nor about tbe way their genitals are tightly bound as an effort to repress sexuality. I do not advocate anti-cult legislation or any other such thing. It would be forever tangled in legalities concerning freedom of religion, apd impossible to enforce. Cults are one of the costs of a free society. The best thing is to educate people about the dangers they pose. I hope thai in the future, the Collegian will be more careful to see that what it prints is more carefully researched, even if it is only represented as opinion. Thank you.

"What we can offer the business profes¬ sor is1 a panel discussion relating the pers¬ pective of a native consumer who also knows the differences in business practi¬ ces.

Blacks are still depicted as lazy, primi¬ tive or criminaly minded on television, despite recent advances by the networks, according to Dr. James A. Rogers. Rogers, a CSUF professor, will exam¬ ine negative stereotypes of blacks and present local TV personalities in an up¬ coming course titled "Blacks in American Television." "Historically black Americans and other ethnic groups have been depicted in a negative and stereotypical fashion by the mass media, particularly with network programing and situation comedies like 'Little Rascals,"Amos 'n Andy'and "The Jeffersons,' " Rogers said. While blacks appreciate shows like the new Bill Cosby vehicle, "The Cosby Show," they are frustrated by the less flat¬ tering images of blacks in "The A-Team" and "The Jeffersons," Rogers said. He said shows like "The Jeffersons" may be popular, but they depict blacks as "laugh¬ able baffoons." "There are too few positive images offered in opposition (to these negative PUT YOURSELF IN OUR SHOES! DISCOUNTED 20% AND MORE! DRESS CASUAL ATHLETIC, OCTOBER 15 THRU 19 KENNEL BOOKSTORE images)," Roger* said.
