NEW YORK (AP) ? The first federal judge to rule
on the Clinton administration's "don't ask, don't tell"
policy on gays in the military declared it unconstitutional
Thursday.
U.S. District Judge Eugene Nickerson's ruling
barred the Pentagon from discharging six homosexuals.
Though it applies only to the six, it represents
the first step in a process that could lead to a
Supreme Court ruling on the policy.
Nickereon said the polity is "nothing short of Orwellian"
because it equates sexual orientation with
misconduct.
"To presume from a person's status that he or
she will commit undesirable acts is an extreme measure,"
he wrote. "Hitler taught the world what could
happen when the government began to target peo
pie not for what they had done but because of their
status."
Lawyers for the plaintiffs welcomed the ruling
but cautioned that it doesn't prevent the Pentagon
from taking action against other gays.
"We don't want people to read the paper and
think they can come out tomorrow," said Beatrice
Dohrn, legal director of the Lambda Legal Defense
and Education Fund, which helped represent the
plaintiffs.
Justice Department spokesman Carl Stem said
the government will appeal.

A national study supporting the claim that one in six
women are raped while in college is the foundation of Campus
Rape Awareness' l-in-6 Day.
The event, held March 22, is based on a study conducted
in 1988 and published in Ms. magazine, according to Eileen
Korpita, director of the Office of Sexual Assault Services.
Hie study asked more than 6,000 students from more 1
than 32 college campuses across the nation. It is the largest *
survey of its kind ever conducted. One out of every six col- 1
lege-aged women responded that they had been raped. '
Other surveys that have been conducted support this statistic.

for colleges," Martin said.
One reason the statistic may sound improportionately
ligh is that 80 percent of all rapes are acquaintance rapes,
ind the FBI estimates that 99 percent of all acquaintance
apes go unreported, Korpita said.
"Many victims believe no one will believe them. They may
