Protesters clash with Security
By Roger Tefft
City Editor
The latest divestment rally turned ugly Wednesday morning as five people were injured when student demonstrators and University Security officers engaged in a brief scuffle at Bovard Administration Building, witnesses said.
About 30 demonstrators attempted to reach the university board of trustees, who were meeting in Bovard, and were contained by 12 security officers, said
Steven Ward, executive director of University Security.
The demonstrators — who were part of a rally to protest the university's investments in South Africa — used an unlocked door to enter an alley between the auditorium and south wing of Bovard, which houses the university's executive offices.
The alley was sealed off by security officers at Bo-vard's west side.
No arrests were made and no students were cited

Zumberge
announces
retirement
By Bill Swindell
Senior Staff Writer
After a 10-year span that has marked rapid growth at both university campuses and record highs in fund-rais-ing, University President James Zumberge announced his retirement to the board of trustees on Wednesday morning.
Zumberge, 66, will remain in his post until two university committees select his successor — a process that probably will take a year.
“This idea has been gestating in mv mind and mv wife's mind over a year,” Zumberge said in an interview Wednesday. "It's just a question of when it was the most appropriate time to do it and (when) it would cause the least amount of disruption, even though a search for a new president will cause some anxiety."
The announcement coincided with the election of Forrest Shumway as the new chairman of the board of trustees. The five-year term held by current chairman George Scharffenberger will end in April.
Zumberge's decison to retire had been widely anticipated by students and staff at the university, especially since last June's report of the Nineties Committee, which laid out the selection process of a new university president in general terms.
Scharffenberger said that two separate committees, a Presidential Search Committee and a Presidential Selection Committee, will be established soon to seek out and select the next university president.
The Presidential Search Committee will be composed of about 14 faculty and staff members, deans, students and alumni, who will be appointed by the chairman of the board. The committee will publicize the search, solicit nominations and applications and make initial screenings and evaluations of potential candidates.
The search committee should complete its task in four to five months and then submit a list of candidates to the selection committee, Scharffenberger said.

Hospitals needing essential supplies in Lebanese battle
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Scores of people wounded in nine days of war between Lebanon’s main Christian armies are dying in hospitals that have no power and little blood, medicine or clean water, police said Wednesday.
Many of the victims have been civilians, some of them Moslems killed or wounded by shells that strayed out of Christian territory.

Betrayal
Rapists are often the men who women called ‘friends’
By Kristine Kennedy
Senior Staff Writer
According to national statistics, it is likely that about two men in your Thursday morning political science class of about 50 have committed rape
—	one of them could be the guy who took you to Westwood last night.
"Men who rape are much like men who don't rape, in (some) regards," said Karen Payne, a psychologist at the Student Health and Counseling Center. "A man who rapes is not necessarily a crazy in the bushes, but could be your best friend."
In a survey conducted by Ms. magazine, one in 12 men admitted to forcing a woman to have sex, yet many did not call it rape.
"The guy says, 'Yes, I had intercourse with her, and I thought it was consensual,' " said Valerie Paton, vice president of Student Affairs.
University rape experts point out
An Act of Power
This is the third in a three-part series on the climate of acquaintance and date rape at the university.
the need to not only educate women about how to avoid risky situations, but also the need to educate men about how their forced actions do constitute rape.
Often a woman will be saying no, but the man believes she means yes, so he continues to force sex on her, not thinking it to be rape. This is especially true if the two have had intercourse in the past, experts said.
A "classic" so-called date- or ac-quaintance-rape situation "usually happens back at somebody's room — often after they've gone on a date and had a nice time," said Mark Stevens, a psychologist at the counseling center.
Usually, both people will agree to some sexual activity, such as kissing or petting. But when things go too far, the woman says no, and the man disregards her, Stevens said.
Rape education for both men and women focuses on why men rape: socialization about traditional gender roles. Because of this socialization, the American culture is often referred to as a "rape culture."
"It's not just a matter of teaching what rape is, but how males and females relate to each other/' Payne said.
Little boys are encouraged to be strong, aggressive and to take what they want; little girls are taught to act like ladies, be passive, polite and be accepting of the situation, she said.
An explanation of the acceptance and legitimacy given to traditional gender roles is givenin a book by (See Rape, page 17)
