by JKFF GREEN
LIFE Staff Writer
As many as 76 percent of all women on campus will Ih- victimized
sexually tn some degree while al CMU and 22 percent could find
themselves m a rape or attempted assault situation, if one graduate
student's study is correct
Most of the experiences were categorized as being with acquaintances or dating partners, a situation Joy Garret-flooding, the Haslet
graduate student who completed the study, said is virtually ignored by
University officials

(iarret-fiooding said
'Hit study demonstrates the prohlem of sex aggression on this
campus to women is even greater than pt-opte imagined." said John
Petras   s!>cio!ol-y professor and certified sex counselor
"I guess I'm not shocked hv that, other studies ha\e shown
comparable victimization rates — I think it just brings borne the need
(or education of males and females m the area." said Peg
iiill-Callahan. director ofthe Sexual Assault Task Force
Sexual assault prevention expert Steve Thompson expressed
similar sentiments and said it correlated with other studies done at
other universities
"1 think it's a real eye-opener." Thompson said
