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.

Northeast Folklore Society Newsletter
The 25th anniversary meeting of the Northeast Folklore Society, held 13 August 1983, at the University of Maine, included a tangible vote of thanks to NFS Secretary Joan Brooks for her work for the Society, an announcement of the Lynn Franklin Fund honoring the recently deceased and a presentation by Amanda McQuiddy on her folk arts in the schools program. The meeting was followed by a party worthy of the occasion at which Society President Ives was presented with a volume of letters of appreciation for his 25 years of leadership and inspiration...

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.

Reports in recent years of thousands of Indians and Ladinos slaughtered in Guatemala and tens of thousands more fleeing their homes to refugee camps have provoked no outcry in the U.S. Popular resistance to the oppressive military regime is growing, yet President Reagan will ask to renew aid for the nation most notorious for human rights violations. This request should be denied and all support for this regime ended. The reasons should be clear when the Guatemala story is understood.

The freestyle events should once again be strong and deep. Captain Pete Zeiger will lead this group, especially at the 200 distance, with help from Sam Jalet. Jay Morissette will lead the sprinters, while John Giglio and Rick DesJardins should provide strength in the distance. Newcomers Andy Campbell, Tom Caprio, and Konrad Martin should be especially strong contributors in freestyle. Freshmen Dan Ottman, Jonathan Hewitt, Neal Westphalen, and Rodney Mason all have excellent opportunities to contribute in freestyle.

His name was Martin Luther King, Jr., a 1964 Nobel Peace Prize winner, a non-Montgomery, Alabama, public transportation boycott, causing the Supreme Court decision outlawing segregation of public transportation. His march on Washington created the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and in 1965 the federal government passed the Voting Rights Act as a result of King's efforts. He was the hope for many blacks who deserved a better standard of living at the time.

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.

I would like to comment on the recent coverage of reported rape at UMO…"Names make the news" is an old, old concept—almost as old as "she must have been asking for it."

In regard to your article pertaining to the Penobscot Superior Court dropping charges against [a University of Maine student]. I feel your paper has done a grave injustice…by printing the comments of Assistant Director of the Department of Police and Safety William Prosser.

One black female student sits among 200 white students in an Introduction to Anthropology class and the professor is speaking on physical characteristics of races. He singles her out of the class and asks if she has trouble sleeping because of her braided, Bo Derek-style hairdo. She says no, and he replies, "You must have a really soft pillow, but then, they don't have pillows in Africa."

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?

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.

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.
