Sex and dating roles
discussed by Hall
By Chlrsty Moore

After a pleasant evening of
dinner and the movies, a couple ends
up back at his place. They play
around on the couch for an l*our or so
and thea.get 'uiidressed^arid go, to - his-
bedroom. -She decides, that having
sex with this person wasn't what she
wanted after all. If she tells him no
and he forces her to have intercourse
with him anyway, is it rape? '
Yes it is, according to Bob Hall.
Hall, an expert on the preven-
tion of sexual aggression and con-
flict, presented the- program "Just
'cause we're dating Don't mean we're
mating" at the Fine Arts Center
Tuesday evening.
The lecture about the pressures
and conflicts of dating focused on
the varied sexual roles of men and
women.
"Everyone has different ideas
about what is expected of them be-
cause we were all told about sex in
different ways.„.Women are sup-
posed to look attractive but act pas-
sive. Men are told 'Go for it but be
careful'," said Hall.
These stereotypes and a lack of
communication are what Hall thinks
makes dating diffucult "When you
end up alone £t someone's apart-
ment, it is the equivalent of the start-
ing, grn at the Olympics. Let the
' Ifiigul!" he said. • ^ ■■ ->■' < -
These so-called games can in-
fringe on a person's personal rights
unless both parties communicate their
wants and needs. Hall says that no
one but you knows what you're
comfortable with so "it is up to you to
bring it up".
Hall commented that one of the
reasons that people are uncomfort-
able about talking about sexual rela-
tions is because the terms are un-
cle#. f
If someone puts their hand on
your leg or touches you in any way
that you don't want them to, it is
considered sexual aggression, Jiq,
explained.
Sexual assault occurs when you
are engaged in more serious sexual
relations and you ask your partner to

With Jhe onset of war in the

When asked how they felt about
the United Sites' involvement with
the fight against Saddam Hussein,
most of the Tarleton students inter-
viewed seemed to believe that the
US. is justified in their actions. How-
ever, their opinipns on the possible
initiation of the draft : were widely
varied. ,
