Colleges Work to Stem Date Rape

Beginning of article

An honest but frightening statement made recently by a

University of Florida fraternity member seemed to sum up some

students' lack of understanding of sexual assaults, one of the

biggest problems on college campuses today, a counselor said.

During a presentation on sexual assault and date rape, the man

seemed perplexed while university counselor Maggie Gerard tried

to explain how alcohol, parties and a lack of respect for others

can lead to unwanted sex.

"I don't understand why there's a problem," the fraternity

brother told her. "Women who come here know what they're getting

into."
