Sexual i support staff writer JOSH LONQN Victims of sexual assault and abusive relationships have a new place to turn for help. The Office of Sexual Assault Services is offering two support groups for women: a survivors group for women who have been victims of sexual assault and a dating violence group for women involved in abusive relationships. No programs are offered for men, but help will be given if needed. "The groups will be topic-oriented," said Jennie Kelehev, a graduate intern who will be leading the groups. Although the meeting will not be intended as "group therapy," she said, "They will give women the opportunity to get support from one another." These are the only support groupe offered by Sexual Assault Services, Last year, reported rape and a^ sault cases were at their highest poinl since 1993 on campus, and 14 anonymous reports of sexual assault and dating violence were received last year according the student handbook. 350 hours ot en m h 1 ack coti ee. 5(h> I Your exams ( whew rj. 10 to thai -annoying TI a lot mea? +.(' can p i jv* -i k| l? #1 Mak saic.
