available to college faculty and admin-
istrators upon my return for the coming
fall semester.

Space has been allocated for an L.A.C.

in the main concourse, near the library
and counselling centre of the new build-
ing. It is my sincerest hope that with
a clear mandate and a realistic pedagogi-
cal base, the Douglas College Learning
Assistance Centre will finally become

a reality for all its students, faculty,
and administrators.

FROM THE WOMEN'S CENTRE:
MYTHS SURROUNDING RAPE

 

Myth: Rape is a sex crime.
Fact: Rape is a crime of violence and
power.

Myth: Women secretly want rape.

Fact; Women do not want to be raped.
Rape is a traumatic, painful and
fearful experience.

Myth: "She asked for it."

Fact: This is the classic way that the
burden of blame is shifted from
the rapist to the victim. Women

_are entitled to assume they will
not be attacked and that they can
walk safely without threat of at-
tack.

Myth: Rape is an involuntary act conmmit-
ted by a sexcrazed stranger in a
dark alley.

Fact: The majority of rapes are premed-
itated acts of aggression. Most
are committed by someone the victim
knows and trusts to some degree.
The majority of rapes happen in
either the victims's or rapist's
home, with the next most common lo-
cation being the rapist's car.

Myth: Rape victims are young.

Fact: Victims range from the very young
to the very old.

Myth
Fact

Rape does not exist in marriage,

It does, but rape within marriage
is not identified as a crime by the
Criminal Code of Canada.
