Storaska outlines
rape prev ention

by John Dempsey
Frederick Storaska , lecturing
on "To Be Raped or Not to Be
Raped ," shattered some of the
popularly held ideas on methods
of defense against rape attacks
and offered new methods of selfprotection. The lecture , sponsored by the Association of
Women Students , was attended
by a capacity crowd in the
Student Union Tuesday night.
Mr. Storaska said that attempting to use weapons , marti al
arts ( such as judo ), scream ing,
and struggling are the most
used
def ense
commonly
techniques and also some of the
most ineffective. "Ninety-eight to
99 per cent of weapons are taken
away from the girl by the
assailant and used against her ."
The m a rt ial ar ts are "not for
defense for they all have the
premise of violence ." He explained f ur t her tha t scream ing

role womanly teasing plays in
rape. "No matter how unmercifully a woman teases a
man , he has no right to take what
is not his. The man who does is
emotionally disturbed. "
When describing various
assault situations a girl may find
herself in, Storaska stressed th at
it is impossible to tell who is
going to assault a person or
exactly h ow a personwill react so
he could only offer a " repertoire"
of solutions and hope that the
individual will pick one and use
it.
The following are certain
methods of defense which
St oraska f elt m igh t be ef fective
in a rape situation. (1) If a*girl is
placed in a choking position she
can lift her hands to t he
assailant' s f ace and poke h is
eyes, which are the most accesible areas. For the person who
can 't bring herself to do this , she
can grab his little finger and put
all her weigh t aga inst i t , bend ing
it completely back . (2) If the
a ssaulte r a pp roaches f rom
behin d and places h is arm s
around the girl' s arms , she ma y
slowly and "feminingly " m ove
her hand t o the testi cles and
squeeze . (3) If the assaulter
again approaches from behind
and grabs the girl by the hair to
force her down , the girl should
not struggle but immediately fall.
Struggling will only give him
m o re ti me and exc it e h i m
further. (4) If a girl is driv ing
alone and a car continues to
follow her , she should not blow
her horn and leave the car , but
should dr i ve a lon g t he si dewalks

The team decided on the third
alternative and elected Floyd
'Shorty ' Kitchock and Ron
Sheenan co-coaches. These two
were to run practices , and the
Facul ty Advisor would do administrative work . A short while
after Hinkle was appointed , he
began to take over more
authority in practices . This
caused dissention because the
team members thought they
should be permitted to coach
themselves.
According to wrestler Doug
Grad y, BSC traditionally had an
outstanding record and rather
than tarnish this mark with a
season that is not truly indicative
of the calibre of wrestling at BSC,
they would rather personally
sacrifice this year in hopes that
the situation would improve next
year.
The team members said that
since the team had already been
depleted by injuries , a continuation of the season could only
have ca used more inj uries, and
that would have rendered the
season useless anyway.

The BSC Wrestling team voted
last Wednesday not to compete
this season . The team , dwindled
by injury to 15 members , met
twice previously to discuss the
situation , and after looking ovpr
all possible moves, decided in a
secret ballot to disband the
wrestling team this year .
Before the ballot was taken Dr.
Stephen Bresett , acting chairman of the Department of
Physical
Education
and
Athletics , along with Carl Hinkle ,
interm wrestling coach , and
Dean Edison Drake , explained
the options which the team could
take. They also explained what
would happen if the team
disbanded. These options included: If the team voted not to
compete , but did continue to
practice , they would not be
covered by school insurance ; no
equipment would be available to
the practicing individuals ;
athletes on school payroll could
lose jobs unless they could show
need; and wrestlers would be
ineligible for postseason tour-

The presentation of a petition
bearing two thousand signatures
to Governor Shapp last September 30 was halt of BSC's
students ' way of saying that they
didn 't approve of President
Nossen. One would think that this
form of protest would have been
sufficient.However , on Wednesday , December 1, the
Wrestling Team took a vote
among themselves, and , with
twelv e in favor and three against,
voted to disband. Is this another
form of protest?
If this is true, than the members of the wrestling tea m need to
be reminded that in competing as
the BSC wrestling team they are
representing the study body.
Therefore they owe their
allegiance to that student body,
and it is the student bodythey are
desertingin their attempt to show
their loyalty to their former
coach.
If the students ' reason for
disbanding is, as they 've stated in
their inte rview in Thursday 's
Morning Press, that they don 't
want to risk a bad seasovn for fear
it wili ruin the past record of BSC,
they are deluding themselves.
They are there to represent their

peers a's best they can , and the
students of BSC will support them
as long as they are doing their
best. They have been good long
enough for their talent not to have
left them just because they have
a different coach. If they truly
want to do their best for BSC,
they would at least try .
If they care about championships , they would stay
together for the benefit of their
three team members who are
candidates for championships
this season, and will lose* their
chance if they don't wrestb as a
team. •
It seems the wrestlers of BSC
are more concerned with their
own personal records than the
position of the team. Is this
sportsmanship, or is it the little
boy who can't have the position
he wants, so he's gonna take his
football and go home? Come on,
wrestlers, you can do it without
Russ Houk — he may have been a
good coach, but you 're the ones
who won. Stop being children,
and be men—if you really want
to make your team work , you can
— if you really go out there to
represent BSC and not yourselves.

E ditor:
It is difficult to watch the antics
of certain men at this college and
refrain from rea cting. It is hard
to really feel that a student is
being treated fairly at an institution which is in favor of
higher learning. The incident of
the wrestling squad is another
example of the blunders that
have been happening. Was it
impossible to settle the issues?
Was the controversy for certain
people to sit down, discuss and
use reason to come to a positive
settlement?
I think the concerned student,
here as in other colleges, feels in
a state of helplessness. He wants
to enjoy his college life and would
like certain changes in college
life. He goes through the proper
channels and if unsuccessful , is
f orced to d emonstrate i n or d er to
get his point across. Why does the
student 's life have to be interrupted because of administration detail? Are they not
able to handle their affairs which
the student (the most important
resource of a college) has no
voice in? The student is stuck
with the results. For example ,
some studen ts enj oy wrestling

Book Review

"Stur geon is alive and well..."

by Blass
Okay, you can take the funnel
full of hot lead away from my
rectum, I'll admit it awready : 90
percent of science fiction is crud.
But then , as science fiction writer
Theodore Sturgeon says , 90
percent of EVERYTHING is
crud.
I don't really know how I got
hooked on science fiction. Maybe
it was comic book s , those
illiterate little things so deplored
by psychologists and English
profs alike. Illiterate or not, those
little cri tters ta ught this kid how
to read; not only that , they also
taught me how to ENJOY
reading, something few English
textbook s "ever do. Comic
books...I started out on Superman and didn 't hit the harder
stuff until the early 60's, when
Marvel Comics came along with
the Fanta stic Four, Spider-Man ,
Thor , Iron Man , Giant-Man , and
all the rest , heroes who made me
suddenly regard Superman as
downright silly . (My favorite
adolescent dream was one of a
Marvel-DC team-up comic ,
wherein the Man of Steel would
learn , much to his chagrin, that
the Incredible Hulk was actually
a living, breathing mass of green
kryptonite ) . I remember trying

who achieve great satisfactio n students — unwilling to com-

performing in front of people.
Since everybody enjoys it, the
wrestling matches continue and
even the reputation is spreadreputation
is
important.
Meanwhile underhanded play,
selfish acts , power-struggling
improfessional
men , and
pollycock invades the offices and
buildings of this college and the
wrestling squad becomes the
target of the injustices. "So
What ," some may say! Where do
we draw the line? There have
been too many wild antics affecting the students culminating
last May in front of the
Presidents house. Now a kind of
anti-climax has come. When will
the injustices, i ndecencies , and
conflicts halt at this school?
Certainly it is a small minority of
men who really are not involved
with the student; who do not
know the needs of the student , but
are affecting the lives of a
majority of students. Also, the
g ood re putat ion of a college has
been si nki ng not because of a
disorderly student body but
because of an inadequate administrative power structure
whi ch seems to be strugg ling not
only with itself , but also with the

promise.
There is no reason that the
college should not have an intercollegiate wrestling program.
As a student, I do not know all the
facts but I do see the results. I
have no contr ol over the results
yet I am forced to accept the
unjust acts . The acts affect the
student negatively and then
disharmony occurs between the
administrator and student .
Meanwhile the reputation of a
college slowly disintegrate^ .
What is left for a student to do if
injustice reigns? Is he to talk but
to talk to whom? Is he to
demonstrate but to demonstrate
to whom? Is it better to go to
class and remain quiet?
I only hope certain men will
become involved with the
stu dents , and the wrestlers will
examine their decision. Maybe
the settling of differences can
start NOW by reconsidering the
i nterco ll eg i ate wrest li ng
program. Can there be compromise and reasoning? I only
hope people will begin to work for
the good will of the college and
the stu dent , the most important
person of the college community.

to figure out what the Thing 's

often I find myself wondering
how much fun Mr. Fantastic and

found myself watching "Beast

times in a row, each time crying
my kiddy eyeballs out as the
beast got shot with a radioactive
isotope right between the roller
coaster (a fatal wound if there
ever was one). May be it was the
first fateful time I saw "The Day

time I heard Pat O'Neal tell Gort
to go "Klaatu barrada niktu."
Whatever , I was addicted at a
tender age by the very forms of
entertainment which give science
literature
a bad
fiction
reputation , and even now , when I
should kn ow better, I find myself
reading comics and watching
such Hollywood classics as
"Attack of the Toilet-SeatLeap ing Crab Monsters " or
"Invasion of the Giant Leeches,"
the type of films for which I'm
invariably a sucker. So you see,
I m a hard -core bt addict.

For the past five years the
world of science fiction (me too)
has been cold Sturgeon .
A lot has happened to science
fiction in those five years. The
"love, peace, flowers in their hair
generation " adopted Heinlein's
"Stranger in a Strange Land ,"
never dreaming that dear Robert
A. is a militaristic old bastard in
all his other books. In the five
years of Sturgeon's absence,
science fiction has become
almost respectable ( there is a
proliferation of college-offered
courses in SF writing) . The
literature has been given a

muonshot in the arm by the
popularity of "Star Trek ,"
"2001," "Marooned ," yea , even
the hairy-chested SF offered by
CfiTarlton Heston. A lot has
happened in five years...
It was about that many years
ago.when Mam a Cass Elliot told
rock reporter Richie Goldstein
that the Mamas & the Papas
would love to do a movie,
especially if they got Theodore
Sturgeon to write the script. It
was about that many years ago
when Sturgeon reached a whole
new audience by forsaking his old
one — he wrote two "Star Treks",
one the Alice-in-Wonderland
adventure which so many of us
loved, the other the classic
"Amok Time." For those who
forget , the Amok Time was when
Mr. Speck had to return to Vulcan
to mate , or dte. Well, return he
did , and ended up fighting his
best friend to the death over a
Vulcan girl whose reaction to
Spock wasn't exactly love at first
sight. The moral of the story, a
typical Sturgeon insight as voiced
by Spock , was that as far as love
is concerned , "sometimes
possession is not half so much as
desiring." Five years —
You see, in the world of science
fiction , where 90 percent of the
stories concern bug-eyed monsters carrying off the helpless
blond heroine who's engaged to
the handsome blond Navy hero,
(as if any bug-eyed monster in its
right brain stalk would WANT an
ugly blond heroine , however
helpless ) , in a genre of space
and
crawling
pirates
goob edlygooks ,
Theodore
Sturgeon writes about love...and
that's why Sturgeon is a living
legend in his field . Fvie years is a
long time for any genre to try to
survive without love. And now we
can rejoice —
Sturgeon's back ! And, like the
book title says, he is alive and
well. Matter of fact, he's better

Howard Johnson hit for 21
points and Gary Choyka 20 as the
varsity basketball team ran over
a weak Baptist Bible team , 12767, last Thursday at Centennial
Gym.
Coach Charles Chronister ,
after winning his first game as
BSC coach, said , "I am pleased
with our effort , but we didn't play
a good game overall. We will
have to cut down on our
mista kes."
Although the final tally didn't
show it , the game was closely
contested in the early going, as
several Huskies were in foul
trouble and Paul Kuhn was
suffering from a "cold" nite.
However, sparked by Johnson,
Bob Consorti , and Dennis Mealy ,
the Huskies built up a 62-35
halftirne lead.
E. Baptist was held scoreless
for four minutes and thirteen
seconds early in the second half ,
as the dribblers widened their
lead to 85-43. It was during this
time that Choyka got the hot
hand , hitting 10 of 14 shots.

Choyka also led the team in
assists with 6 followed by Art
Luptowski and Tony Dare with 5
apiece.
Johnson was high scorer and
rebounder, with 21 pts. and 14
rebounds. Six other Huskies were
in double figures .

As everyone would know by
this time, there will be no
wrestling team this year.
Already there are rumors that 1)
this is a move by the ad-

ministration to de-emphasize

sports ; and 2) that the players
were forced into the action , by
outside influences. Not so, according to Floyd "Shorty " Hitchcock. And Shorty should know.
Hitchcock , a junior who lost
only once in 20 matches in the 177pound class last year, explained
that training for the wrestlers
began during the football season.
The wrestlers had decided to
coac h t h emselves un der an
agreement reached with Dr.
Steph en Bresett, acting chairman of the department of health,
physical education and athletics,
he said .

The Huskies captured five first
places, four individual and one

freestyle, Bob Myers, the one

Gibas, the 100-yard freestyle, and
Steve Coleman, the one meter

The winning freestyle relay
team was composed of Bob Herb,
Doug Yocum, Ken Narscewicz
and Dave Gell.
Temple's Mike Sheridan won
the breast stroke in a record time
of 2:25.0 elipsing the old pool
mark of 2:26.8.
Besides his five wins, Bob Herb
also placed third in the 100-yard

"Finally the players had a

Shorty declared . "The objective
was to hassle out the problems
that just seemed to be piling up.
At the meeting Mr. Hinkle made
some remarks to players which
they didn't take kindly. Another
meeting was held the next day
with Dr. Drake as well as Dr.
Bresett and Mr. Hinkle. At this

editorial \

The presentation of a petition
bearing two thousand signatures
to Governor Shapp last September 30 was hall of BSC's
students' way of saying that they
didn 't approve of President
Nossen. One would think that this
form of protest would have been
sufficient.However , on Wednesday, December 1, the
Wrestling Team took a vote
among themselves, and , with
twelve in favor and three against,
voted to disband. Is this another
form of protest?
If this is true, than the members of the wrestling team need to
be reminded that in competing as
the BSC wrestling team they are
representing the study body.
Therefore they owe their
allegiance to that student body,
and it is the student body .they are
deserting in their attempt to show
their loyalty to their former
coach.

If the students ' reason for
disbanding is, as they 've stated in
their interview in Thursday's
Morning Press, that they don 't
wan t to risk a bad season for fear
it will ruin the past record of BSC,
. they are deluding themselves.
They are there to represent their

peers as best they can , and the
students of BSC will support them
as long as they are doing their
best. They have been good long
enough for their talent not to have
left them just because they have
a different coach. If they truly
want to do their best for BSC,
they would at least try.
If they care about championships , they would stay
together for the benefit of their
three team members who are
candidates for championships
this season, and will lose their
chance if they don't wrestle as a
team.
It seems the wrestlers of BSC
are more concerned with their
own personal records than the
position of the team. Is this
sportsmanship, or is it the little
boy who can't have the position
he wants, so he's gonna take his
football and go home? Come on,
wrestlers, you can do it without
Russ Houk — he may have been a
good coach , but you 're the ones
who won . Stop being children,
and be men—if you really want
to make your team work, you can
— if you really go out there to
represent BSC and not yourselves.

Book Review

"Sturgeon is alive and well..."

»

by Blass
Okay, you can take the funnel
full of hot lead away from my
rectum , I'll admit it awready : 90
percent of science fiction is crud.
But then, as science fiction writer
Theodore Sturgeon says , 90
percent of EVERYTHING is
crud.
I don 't really know how I got
hooked on science fiction. Maybe
it was comic books , those
illiterate little things so deplored
by psychologists and English
profs alike. Illiterate or not, those
little critters taught this kid how
to read; not only that , they also
taught me how to ENJOY
reading, something few English
textbook s ever do. Comic
books...I started out on Superman and didn 't hit the harder
stuff un til ihe early 60's , when
Marvel Comics came along with
the Fantastic Four , Spider-Man ,
Thdr , Iron Man , Giant-Man , and
all the rest , heroes who made me
suddenly regard Superman as
downright silly . (My favorite
adolescent dream was one of a
Marvel-DC team-up comic ,
wherein the Man of Steel would
learn , much to his chagrin, that
the Incredible Hulk was actually
a living, breathing mass of green
kryptonite). I remember trying

There is no reason that the
college should not have an intercollegiate wrestling program.
As a student , I do not know all the
facts but I do see the results. I
have no control over the results
yet I am forced to accept the
unjust acts. The acts affect the
student negatively and then
disharmony occurs between the
administrator and student.
Meanwhile the reputation of a
college slowly disintegrate*.
What is left for a student to do if
injustice reigns? Is he to talk but
to talk to whom ? Is he to
demonstrate but to demonstrat e
to whom? Is it better to go to
class and remain quiet?
I only hope certain men will
become involved with the
stu dents , and the wrestlers will
examine their decision. Maybe
the settling of differences can
start NOW by reconsidering the
i nterco ll eg i ate wrest li n g
program. Can there be compromise and reasoning? I only
hope people will begin to work for
the good will of the college and

to figure out what the Thing 's
thing looked like , and every so
often I find myself wondering
how much fun Mr. Fantastic and
the Invisible Girl have in bed (she
can make any part of herself
either tran sparent or impenetrable ; he can make any
part of his body STRETCHHHH).
Comic books.. may be that's
where I started.
Then again , maybe it was the
movies. Maybe it was when I
found myself watching "Beast
from 20 ,000 Fathoms" twenty
times in a row , each time crying
my kiddy eyeballs out as the
beast got shot with a radioactive
isotope right between the roller
coaster (a fatal wound if there
ever was one). Maybe it was the
first fateful time I saw "The Day
the Earth Stood Still ," the first
time I heard Pat u weai ten uorc
to go "Klaatu barrada niktu."
Whatever , I was addicted at a
tender age by the very forms of
entertainment which giv e science
fiction
litera ture a bad
reputation , and even now, when I
should kn ow better , I find myself
reading comics and watching
such Hollywood classics as
"Attack of the Toilet-SeatLeaping Crab Monsters " or
"Invasion of the Giant Leeches,"
the type of films for which I'm
invariabl y a sucker. So you see,
I' m a hard-core SF addict.
For the past fiv e years the
world of science fiction (me too )
has been cold Sturgeon .
A lot has happened to science
ficti on in those five years. The
"love, peace, flowers in their hair
generation " adopted Heinlein's
"Stranger in a Strange Land ,"
never dreaming that dear Robert
A. is a militaristic old bastard in
all his other books. In the five
years of Sturgeon's absence,
science fiction has become
almost respectable ( there is a
proliferation of college-offered
courses in SF writing) . The
literature has been given a

moonshot in the arm by the
popular ity of "Star Trek ,"
"2001 ," "Marooned ," yea, even
the hairy-chested SF offered by
Cfrarlton Heston. A lot has
happened in five years...
It was about that many years
ago when Mama Cass Elliot told
rock reporter Richie Goldstein
that the Mamas & the Papas
would love to do a movie,
especially if they got Theodore
Sturgeon to write the script. It
was about that many years ago
when Sturgeon reached a whole
new audience by forsaking his old
one—he wrote two "Star Treks",
one the Alice-in-Wonderland
adventure which so many of us
loved , the other the classic
"Amok Time." For those who
forget, the Amok Time was when
Mr. Spock had to return to Vulcan
to mate *or die. Well, return he
did , and ended up fighting his
best friend to the death over a
Vulcan girl whose reaction to
_ Spock wasn 't exactly love at first
sight. The moral of the story , a
typical Sturgeon insight as voiced
by Spock , was that as far as love
is concerned , "sometimes
possession is not half so much as
desiring." Five years —
You see, in the world of science
fiction, where 90 percent of the
stories concern bug-eyed monsters carrying off the helpless
blond heroine who's engaged to
the handsome blond Navy hero,
(as if any bug-eyed monster in its
right brain stalk would W ANT an
ugly blond heroine , however
helpless) , in a genre of space
pirates
and
crawling
goobedlygooks ,
Theodore
Sturgeon writes about love...and
that's why Sturgeon is a living
legend in his field . Fvie years is a
long time for any genre to try to
survive without love. And now we
can rejoice —
Sturgeon 's back ! And, like the
book title says, he is alive and
well. Matter of fact , he's better

"Shorty " inte rviewe d
by Mike Yarmey
As everyone would know by
this time, there will be no
wrestling team this year.
Already there are rumors that 1)
this is a move by the administration to de-emphasize
sports ; and 2) that the players
were forced into the action , by
outside influences. Not so, according to Floyd "Shorty" Hitchcock. And Shorty should know.
Hitchcock , a junior who lost
only once in 20 matches in the 177pound class last year, explained
that training for the wrestlers
began during the football season.
The wrestlers had decided to
coach themselves under an
agreement reached with Dr.
Stephen Bresett , acting chairman of the department of health,
physical education and athletics ,
he said.
Und er t h e arrangement ag reed

Sturgeon is alive
(continu ed from pag* two )

supersubat omicmolecularpolarizingwhippy-shit raygun . Th ings
are changing, some good female
SF writers are copping the biggie
awards , and it looks like from
now on that bug-eyed monster
better bug off before he comes
down with a bad case of past
schlock. — Sturgeon needn 't
worry . For thirty years now his
women have talked like women ,
acted like women, and loved like
women — Sturgeon needs no
refresher courses. He 's too busy
examining his fa vorite emotion.
The barriers Sturgeon has
broken down are legion . Way
back in the 50she shattered one of
SF's taboos with a story depic ting
a perfectly workable and working
alien society of homosexuals. In
1960 he wrote a weird little novel
called "Venus Plus X," which
mapped out literature 's first
feasible unisex civilization . Ten
years later Urs ula LeGuin would
use the same premise 'and get
herself the Hugo and the Nebula ,
-SF's highest awards — poor
Sturgeon , lost a lot of money back
then : the book's topic forbade
magazine serialization. It did not,
however , forbid his getting all
jsorte of letters on scented puf pie
stationarv sent to him. Undaunted , he later did a story on
that universalest of taboos, incest, and then sat back amidst a
deluge of even stranger letters.
Yep, the man 's fearless — he 'll
take any type of love, perverted ,
inverted , subverted , and do a
monster of a story with it. That' s
Sturgeon — insight , wisdom,
characterization , pure prose , all
unified by a common subject.
Five years is a long time. For
five years Sturgeon was hiding
under some non-writing rock.
Love put him there. Then a redhaired lady who keeps cropping
up in these stories turned on her

which is really a love story about up her cat , found Sturgeon , dug
cancer ) . And he knows that love him out , and married him . Love
:an b e used as an end , knows that
people lie about the most important things. ("Th e Girl Who
Knew What They Meant" says, to
the guy who knew what he meant
out didn't mean : "When you' re
laked you can lie to another
jerson , but it' s not easy ." What
lappens in this story is so real it
w a s enough t o d epress me for a
week.) And God , the way
Sturgeon handles women...
Science fiction has never been
good to women, In these touc hy
d ay s when Norman Mai ler is
accused of being anti -women
because he is against contraception and birth control (I
ask you , h as any body ever called
the Pope a male chauvinist? ) , it' s
a w onder someon e has n't attacked science fiction . The only
pur p ose f emales used t o serve i n
SF was that of being carried off
by the afore-mentioned bug-eyed
monster. They were also the

statement when one considers
that (he man 's been writing (on
and off) for the past 32 years , or
when one considers that Ray
Bradbury used to look upon
Sturgeon stories with a "secret
and gna wing jealousy ." No shit ,
this guy 's done everything , he's
worke d every type of job
imagina ble, he's survived on 6c
worth of soup beans , if and when
he had to, which explains why he
