Red Zone a dangerous, vulnerable period for students on campus News I More sexual assaults occur on U.S. college campuses during the first six to 10 weeks after students arrive on campus than any other time during the school year.
Stetson p ay n e Staf f re p o rt e r @ s t e t s o n _ _ Pay n e
At the beginning of the fall semester, students are in danger. During the Red Zone, students are at a higher risk of being sexually assaulted than any other time during the school year. The length of the Red Zone is not confined to specific dates, but it is generally the first six to 10 weeks after a student
arrives on campus. A 2008 study from Middlebury College in Vermont determined the Red Zone to be an increased risk particularly for first-year college women during the first weeks of classes. The data showed that a daily risk for sexual assault steadily dropped off through Thanksgiving among first and second year participants. The higher risk of sexual assault accompanying the start of the semester isn’t the result of any one problem; there are multiple contributing factors. John Foubert, an OSU professor and national expert on sexual assault prevention, said the findings indicate a combination of new students and
a dangerous environment. “I think it’s in part both the position of the perpetrator and in part being on a college campus,” Foubert said. “You have many people who are young that are interacting socially with few restraints, and it’s an unfamiliar environment to many, and it leads to a higher risk for sexual violence.” Of the 29 reported incidents of sexual assault at OSU from 2010 to 2014, 27 percent occurred during the first six weeks of the fall semester. But that number doesn’t tell the entire story. A 2014 Department of Justice report found that females ages 18-24 report only 20 percent of campus sexual assault
incidents that occur. The same study found nonstudent victims in the same age group report at a higher rate of 32 percent. Because of the small number of sample cases of male victims, the report focused exclusively on females. Suzanne Burks, University Counseling Services director and OSU’s sexual assault victim advocate, said the reasons for not reporting sexual assault vary with each case. “The reasons we see the most, ( is victims are) afraid people will be mad at them,” Burks said. “They’re worried people will shame them and that they’ll be embarrassed. Sometimes they just don’t want to get some-
one in trouble.” OSU is not alone — this is a problem that affects campuses across the country during these first weeks. Foubert said the Red Zone leads to several dangerous weeks each year when perpetrators tend to look for victims who aren’t experienced in a college environment and take advantage of a lack of self-confidence during the transition into college life. Burks said the same transition and a desire to fit in puts freshmen at risk early in the semester. “I think students come to us with less experience making decisions for themselves; I think STORY CONTINUES ON PAGE 3

that’s a piece of it,” Burks said. “ A lot of them haven’t had a dime’s worth experience with drinking, which is probably a good thing except they get up here and the alcohol is flowing freely.” The problem of sexual assault during the first six weeks has become a priority for prevention programs at several universities across the country, including the University of West Virginia and Ball State University in Indiana. Lt. Mark Shearer, OSU Police Department training supervisor, said prevention is a critical part of student safety during the first few weeks and beyond. Shearer said the No. 1 preventative step people can take is being aware of their surroundings at all times. He also said they need to not only be aware of where they’re at, but also their points of exit in the event a bad situation develops. “In an environment where you have so many people coming together, for many of those folks it’s the first time they’re making any decisions,” Shearer said. “Sometimes because of inexperience or maturity levels, yes, there may be that opportunity for someone to make a bad decision and

be in a place they probably shouldn’t have been and do things that they probably shouldn’t have done.” Before new students can enroll for spring semester classes, they must complete Oklahoma State’s mandatory 1is2Many student education on sexual assault and harassment. For the second consecutive year, the online
training is mandatory for all new students at OSU with the goal of helping prevent sexual assault through education. But Foubert said even though the brief online approach of 1is2Many meets the minimum standard for education set by the 2013 Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act, he thinks online programs

fall short of being effective in educating students. “The big mistake I think college campuses are making right now is they are using the online program in order to meet basic legal requirements,” Foubert said. “But they’re not doing things that data has shown to be effective, and I think we need to focus on being effective and
not efficient. … I have not seen research that convinces me that those have any effect but to meet the bare minimum federal requirements to educate a population. “And, I think it’s irresponsible to limit the prevention effort to an online program.” news@ocolly.com

What to do if you’re sexually assaulted: staff reports
Whether you decide to report the sexual assault to law enforcement, it’s important to know what resources are available to you on campus and in Stillwater.
• Depending on the situation, such as where you are and whom you are with, you might need to get to safety. Call 911 if you are not in a position to make it to the hospital yourself or are still in danger.
•Do not shower or clean up directly after the attack. Do not change clothes or move things around the room or area where the incident occurred. Also, don’t chew gum, eat, drink or take any medications before going to the hospital.
•You need to go to the hospital as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more the forensic evidence will deteriorate, so it is important to make it a priority. Consider calling a trusted friend to go with you if you feel uncomfortable going by yourself.
• Go to Stillwater Medical Center, 1323 W. 6th St., for medical attention. They will treat any injuries you sustained in the attack. They can also treat you for sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy, free of charge.
•At the hospital, a sexual assault nurse examiner will be notified and you will be taken to a private room. A sexual assault response advocate and a police officer will also be called to support you. If you give permission, the nurse examiner will collect evidence and treat your injuries. The rape kit will be submitted for processing.
• The police officer will take your statement in a location where you feel comfortable. Police will be give you the option
of pursuing the situation legally. If you are able to identify your assailant, police will be take the person in for questioning, and an official investigation will begin.
• Newspapers and other media outlets will most likely not print your name in any publication because they aim to protect victims. There are many resources in place to help victims through the court process and the aftermath of the assault.
• Most importantly, the incident was not your fault. Saying “no” to the perpetrator is enough to deem it rape, even if al-
cohol was involved. No matter what the situation, consent is needed in order for sex to occur legally, and you will not be blamed or targeted as a result of the rape.
•OSU has a designated sexual assault advocate, Suzanne Burks, who can be reached at 405-880-0766 to assist you and
help meet your immediate needs. Burks will give you advice, information, talk with you about your options and facilitate decision making. Stillwater also has a 24-hour Sexual Assault Crisis Hotline, 405-624-3020, to help meet these needs.
Rape or sexual assault can happen to anyone, man or woman, and it’s never the victim’s fault. However, it helps to think about how you can stay safe.
•Stick with your friends. •Hold on to your drink — even when you go to the bathroom. •If your drink is out of your sight, even for a few seconds, get a new one. Spiking a drink with can happen quickly. •Don’t drink from punch bowls or open containers.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 2015
•Always keep your cell phone charged and on you. You never know when you’ll need it. •Make sure you always have a ride home or a plan to walk home with a friend or roommate. •Trust your instincts. If something doesn’t feel right to you, leave and get to a safe place immediately.

1is2many is just a beginning, not an end Editorial: OSU and its students can do more to prevent sexual assault. E di tor ial b oa r d
A 45-minute computer course isn’t enough to prevent sexual violence. Last fall, OSU began mandating all students take the online course “Haven — Understanding Sexual Assault,” before they were allowed to enroll in the spring semester and got the conversation started about sexual assault on campus. OSU also launched 1is2many, a program
dedicated to information about sexual assault reporting and domestic violence that provides resources for students. But we at the O’Colly believe this is the beginning of the conversation, not the end. OSU, along with the federal government, should require inperson sexual assault education in an effort to prevent sexual assaults from happening.
Sexual assault on college campuses used to be a taboo topic, but has made headlines as more people have stood up against sexual violence, especially the way universities are handling it. Colleges and universities, including OSU, have been heavily scrutinized for the way they have dealt with sexual assault complaints and the way they continue to.

Invest for your family’s future (after 3/8). Release old limitations for new freedom. Communication delivers (especially after 3/23). Discuss passion. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 6 -- Harmony requires effort. Don’t take major actions or show a loved one unfinished work yet. Consult an expert first. Group efforts bear fruit now. There’s no time for romance now. Finish an old job. Strengthen your structure. Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 7 -- Accept a challenging assignment. Caution is advised ... tempers are short. The instructions don’t seem to work. You’re gaining authority. Look for what’s missing. A female brings harmony to a confrontation. Don’t rely on textbooks. Keep it simple. Gemini (May 21-June 20) -- Today is an 8 -- Your spiritual values are strong. Refuse to be suppressed. Consider an option that seems beyond your reach. If you don’t know how, ask. Don’t break anything or spend excessively. Get a physical workout. Magnetic attraction prevails. Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Work to make things happen. Review financial arrangements, avoiding risks. Find ways to increase your treasure. Meet with friends later. Don’t stir up jealousies. Costs could be higher than imagined. Heed recommendations and warnings. Get outside. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 5 -- Spend time in contemplation. Consider from a spiritual view. Friends feel like partying. Avoid stepping on toes. Find a peaceful haven to escape the chaos. Keep it practical or risk trouble. Charm a rebel. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- Work interferes with pleasure. Add some zing to your project, but don’t share it yet. Frugality remains practical. Avoid risk and expectation. Dress conservatively for an appointment. Travel near water could be involved. Rest when you can. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- Sort out practical issues from irrational worries. New evidence threatens complacency. Hold off on an assignment. Avoid reckless driving, accidents and arguments. Share comfort and support. Don’t get hung up on the details. Let somebody love you. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is an 8 -- Family obligations take priority over a romantic tryst. Defer gratification for now. Postpone travel and expense. Wait for a better time. Assume responsibility, and take care of home matters first. After that, enjoy yourselves. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is a 5 -- Your curiosity makes you attractive. Mix socializing with studies. Listen and learn, purposefully. Don’t compromise your values or gamble. Guard against overindulging. A friend provides inspiration, although budgetary concerns could limit things. Wait for developments. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is a 6 -- Plans change under scrutiny. More promises than money flow in. Heed your mate’s concerns. You can get what you’ll work for. A confrontation between friends distracts. Be a calming influence, especially around an authority figure. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is a 6 -- Someone’s talking nice about you. A temporary clash between love and money could spark. Something that works theoretically doesn’t in reality. Find out what you’re doing the hard way. If irritated, take a walk and breathe deeply. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is a 7 -- Don’t count your chickens until they’re hatched. Attend to household issues and repairs before buying frilly extras. Work interferes with travel and romance. Impulsive spending leads to buyer’s remorse. Read the fine print. Every little bit counts.
