No Easy Answers, Liz Cash

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Searching for a method to effectively punish sex crime offenders, at least three judges have recently ordered convicted rapists and child molesters to take a drug that causes chemical castration in lieu of regular prison sentences.

Rapes Seldom Reported, Suzanna Mitchell, Ron Gabriel

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Statistics from the Rape Crisis Center in Bangor suggest that for every rape reported at UMO each year, 10 others have probably occurred, said UMO's assistant director of police services William Prosser. The Rape Crisis Center bases unreported rape figures "on calls [it] gets for assistance compared to the number of police reports generated due to rape," Prosser said.

Name Disclosure Destroys Reputation, Lindsey Durnbaugh Oct 1983

Name Disclosure Destroys Reputation, Lindsey Durnbaugh

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Last year we voted to pay a communications fee to support WMEB and the Maine Campus. I assume, perhaps mistakenly, that this is part of the reason there are more articles, more comics, and more national news items in the Maine Campus than there were last year. There is one thing, however, which far outweighs any of the services the Maine Campus may provide. This is the fact that the Campus effectively destroyed the reputation of one of the students here, a friend of everyone who knows him.

Sympathize For Both, Paul Pickering Sep 1983

Sympathize For Both, Paul Pickering

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Rape is an ugly concept. Yet day after day I see articles in the Maine Campus of which the topic is none other than rape. I don't mean to discount the importance of addressing such an issue, but why can't we let the two involved in that unfortunate episode deal with the consequences by themselves?

"There She Is:" A Change For The Worse, Tom St. Amand Sep 1983

"There She Is:" A Change For The Worse, Tom St. Amand

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

I suppose change in our culture is a must, else social critics soon would label ours a stagnant society. Ideals will change, attitudes should change and people change to adequately approach the problems and events of the future. Until Saturday the argument for change had my full support. My advocacy ebbed that weekend evening when I watched 45 minutes of the 57th Miss America Pageant and witnessed unimagined change.

Accused By Origin, Barney Berube Sep 1983

Accused By Origin, Barney Berube

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

The subject of rape for the lead story in the Maine Campus makes for titillating talk and gossip. That seems universal. Why shouldn't the Maine Campus cash in on this human frailty? Other papers indulge in this kind of reportage gratuitously. That's only one of the curiously sad aspects of the Maine Campus indulgences.

The Price Of Promiscuity?, Bob Danielson Feb 1983

The Price Of Promiscuity?, Bob Danielson

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Rolling Stone called it "Sexual Cancer, America's deadliest epidemic." The New York Times Magazine said it is as relentless as leukemia and as contagious as hepatitis. And Science 83 called it a killer. The Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta calls it AIDS: Acquired Immunity Deficiency Syndrome...which breaks down the body's immune system, leaving it open to a rash of rare and merciless diseases.
