B6 MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1991 LOS ANGELES TIMES VALLEY NEWS On Campus CAL STATE NORTHRIDGE Rape Education Seminars Ordered during their first weeks living on campus, said Campus Police Sgt. Jay McTaggart. At CSUN, as many as 85 of on-campus housing students are freshmen, he said. Although campus-related rape is not limited to residence halls, the four assaults reported to police so far this year involved students who live on campus, McTaggart said. McTaggart has given many rape education talks to residence hall students, including one last week.

Another seminar on date rape will be held Oct. 9 at Heather Hall and will feature a speaker from the Santa Monica Rape Crisis Treatment Center. Students living on campus praised the effort, but differed on how effective it would be. "I think that those who really care about their safety and well-being will attend," said Michelle Barr, 19, a sophomore. "I have a friend who was raped.

That's why I'd attend. It kind of hit home." Ted Devitt 20, a transfer student from Colorado State University, said getting women to attend the seminars is not the problem. "We had them my freshmen year but no one ever went," he said. "More women than men will attend. But it's men that need to be educated." -JEFFSCHNAUFER For the first time, Cal State Northridge housing officials have ordered that rape education be made available to students living on campus.

The new effort will require 45 resident advisers to provide rape education programs to 1,700 students who live in the university's four housing complexes. Attendance is not mandatory, but officials said the advisers will strongly encourage students to participate. "Certainly, it's a paramount issue for us," said Cindy Derrico. assistant director for residential life at CSUN. The advisers, she said, "are going to use more than normal incentive for students to attend." Derrico said the decision to mandate rape education did not stem from a dramatic rise in the incidence of rape among university housing residents.

Instead, she said, housing officials are responding to a request from the state to deal with the issue of sexual assault on campus. Housing officials will push to educate female freshmen about rape during the first six weeks of school, Derrico said, a time when, experts say, women may let their guard down in the excitement of becoming a college student. "There is a very, very high risk of date rape," for freshmen women IiuKISYaEiO Los Angeies limes WOODBURY UNIVERSITY Blackbird Sanctuary Freshmen Urged to Modify Diets More than 200 people attended a dedication Friday at Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale for new Blackbird Airpark display of the speedy, dagger-shaped SR-71 spy jet and its A-12 prototype, retired by the Air Force in 1990.

In the case of iron deficiency, which may make it difficult for women to "run the maze of the rat race that is society," Saltman said the solution is simple: "You've got to eat meat." Calcium deficiency can lead to bone loss, or osteoporosis. However, the risk of this disease can be reduced by exercise and a change of attitude about drinking milk, Saltman said.

"Women are saying, 'Milk is beneath my dignity. I'll do Diet he said. Failure to maintain a balanced diet, even for the sake of looking better, may be more noticeable than people think, Saltman said. "Some of you women in here I can look at and tell you are anorexic," he said. -JEFFSCHNAUFER A nutrition expert advised Woodbury University freshmen this week to modify their diets and lifestyles to avoid what he called the greatest health problems in the United States obesity and iron and calcium deficiencies.

Paul Saltman, principal author of "The California Nutrition Book" and a biology professor at UC San Diego, spoke Wednesday during freshman orientation at the Bur-bank campus. Saltman said people should be aware that certain genetic, age, gender and lifestyle factors determine what and how much they should cat. "Genetically, there arc some people that are destined to be obese," he said. "A person who is predisposed to this must cat less and exercise." The lack of iron and calcium in the diet is a problem often linked to gender, Saltman said. It often af J5 AIRPARK roncr: fi aht palm da -fc.
