Spotlight on Organizations: One in Four
BY JACQUE LUMSDEN
The numbers may be scary,but don't worry; Although One In Four may sound like a math organization, it isn't.
Will Sellers, Sterling. Va., senior, said One In Four is an all male group dedicated to educating men about sexual assault and rape, and teaching them how to help a sexual assault survivor.
The organization is fairly new to the University of Kansas. Sellers, the founder and current president, founded the group last semester in November. However, the group
didn't become an official chapter of the national organization until Dec. 5,2006.
A transfer student from James
Madison University, where he was involved in the group. Sellers decided the University needed a group dedicated to preventing sexual assault.
While the
Last December, One In Four gave a rape awareness presentation at the Hashinger Hall production of "The Wrestling Season"
White the group is still small, it is continuing to grow and become more prevalent on campus. It helps with the Emily
Taylor Women's Resource Center, as well as holds its own events.
For the upcoming semester the group is planning a 24-hour campout. Sellers said this would help raise awareness about the large number of women who were raped or sexually assaulted in 24 hours.
Sellers
"Men should get involved if they would like to do something about the statistic that one in four women will be raped or sexually assaulted by the time they graduate college"
Meeting times have not been scheduled for this semester.
Sellers said.
For more information, contact Sellers at the Student Involvement Leadership Center, at KUOneInFour@yahoo.com, www.geocities.com/kuoneinfour or the national Web site www.nomorrape.org.
"The organization stands for what it means to be a true man," Sellers said. "A man who is a walking symbol of respect, dignity, care, and integrity."

brief
Water line break causes damage for residents
A water line broke at about 10 am. Friday near 945 Massachusetts St. As of Friday morning, officials did not know what caused the break or where exactly it was located.
"We're trying to control the water and minimize damages," said Shaun Coffey, division chief of Lawrence Douglas County Fire and Medical.
Firefighters inspected inside the Mobile Communications Centre cell phone store, but the water also affected other tenants.
Rusty Glenn, El Dorado senior lives above the store. He said he heard some alarms but noticed nothing wrong. A couple minutes later, he went out into the hall and felt water on his feet.
"Water was crashing down everywhere," Glenn said. "In some spots it was a couple inches deep."

Avoiding work keeps woman from benefits
DES MOINES, Iowa — An administrative judge has denied unemployment benefits to a woman who was fired from her job for keeping a journal detailing her efforts to avoid work.
Emmalee Bauer, 25, of Elkhart, was a Sheraton hotel sales coordinator. A supervisor told her to stop writing on company time, but Bauer wrote her 300 single-spaced page journal, on her work computer.
Bauer was fired for misuse of company time after a supervisor discovered the journal last year. Judge Susan Ackerman denied Bauer's request for unemployment last week.
