are initiating their own escort service.
The service, called Protect Our
Women, is being organized chiefly by
the resident government in hopes of
meeting the needs of the female
students.
f Since the escort service is in its
preliminary stages, it will be
restricted to the Thomas Cooper
Library. The residents will serve as
volunteers by working 30-minute
shifts from 8 p.m. until midnight
Monday through Thursday. Two
residents will work each shift.
Business sophomore June Warren,
Patterson government president, said
the idea originated after a stabbinc
recently occurred on campus. "If the
escort service works well, I would
like to see it go through permanentMountaine<

To prepare members for the
hardest mountain climbs thev can
face, two training missions are required.
Learning the right knots,
techniques and technical terms is
essential for the beginning climber,
Fore said.
"We stress safety, because you just
can't scramble up a mountain. People
who are sloppy and don't pay attention
to small details shouldn't be
there.
"It's a special thing to climb a
mountain, but if you're not interested,
why go?"
Climbing about 50 feet straight up
is the first step in mountain climbing,
Fore said. After a month of working
A with an experienced trainer, almost
^ all novices can go up a 450-foot cliff.
Using ropes, axes, safety harnesses
and clamps, more experienced club
members usually go for the most diffinilt

Graduate student Leslie Foster,
resident hall director, said women are
not aware of how many times rape
happens and that they need to take
precautions.
"Everyone has the attitude that it
is not going to happen to them,"
Foster said. "POW will be very
beneficial to the residents if everyone
will participate, said math senior
Ursula Brunson, secretary of the
government.
The escort service will be expanded
to include other parts of the campus
if it is successful, Warren said. A
representative from Alpha Phi
Omega has volunteered to help, she
said.
"We need something like this,"
said journalism freshman Lou
Mazur.
The service is looking for
volunteers.

tain is a good place to hang on, Fore
said. But bushes and trees are taboo
to mountain climbers.
"Wc don't grab anything organic
to pull ourselves up on," Fore said.
"Wc also try not to run out of equipment
in the middle of a climb."
The first one to reach the top
names the peak, Fore said. "Fresh
Garbage," "The Mummy," and
"Sittina Bull" are all Deaks in the
North Carolina mountains that club
members have nicknamed.
"Whenever I first started climbing,
I thought 'Why am I doing
this?"' Fore said. "Then I realized
there's something different every
time. No two rocks are the same
anywhere you climb.
"There are no manmade obstacles
up there, it's just you and the mountain.
After you reach the top, you
have your? own private view. It
definitely puts you closer to God."

Bible studies <

The university is a melting pot of different
religion with 25 religious organizations on campus
to eater to the needs of students.
The Baptist Student Union offers two Bible
studies to students, sociology sophomore Jenny
Arledge said. Arlcdge, BSU vice president, said
one program is a general study of the Bible and requires
little or no previous knowledge. She said it
provides students with the chance to attend many
programs throughout the year.
Meetings for this level of study are held every
Thursday. They are led by Woody Hammett, a
campus minister. Arlcdgc said topics include
dating and sex in the Christian perspective.
Arledgc said BSU will also be conducting a more
in-depth analyzation called the masterlife study.
The study is open to 20 participants. "It is more
personal and profound than the other program."
She said these events are not just for Baptists,
but for anyone who would like to participate in
Christian-oriented activities.

Tuesday night in Calcott Room 123.
The Maranatha Christian Center, located at 610
Pickens Street, offers a different type of study to
students, said Sharon Sharpless of the center.
"The studies take place in 10 dorms around campus,"
Sharpless said. "The dorm studies will be
held about 7 p.m. or 7:30 p.m. each night and will
be relatively short, about 30 minutes each." The
programs for students center around relevant
issues 10 uicw u;iny lives miiu uuihiuvci siai iupic<>
such as AIDS.
The center offers two studies for international
students that cater to their special language barriers,
she said. Other activities such as ice cream
socials and seminars will also take place to bring all
the students from the different dorms together.
Amanda Conard, a hotel, restaurant and
tourism administration senior, said,"I think Bible
studies are helpful for some people who are away
from home for the first time. It's a good way for
them to meet people with the same Christian
beliefs."
