THE RICE THRESHER FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2. 1988 3
RWA takes on
the night
To the editors:
On Thursday, December 1, the Rice
Women's Alliance sponsored a Take Back the
Night" march.
The purpose of this action was to express
concern about safety on campus as well as in
the surrounding community.
No one should have to feel frightened
walking alone at night However, due to our
location in downtown Houston, the
unfortunate reality is that it is dangerous to be
out alone, and we feel that Rice has not
provided sufficient protection to the students,
faculty, and staff.
With the Take Back the Night" march, we
aimed to promote awareness in the students
and the administration and to generate specific
action to increase safety.
The march was also in response to the rapes
which have occurred near Rice and on campus.
As the name Take Back the Night"
indicates, our plan was to unite against these
threats and to show our strength as a
community.
The march began at 8 p.m. at the Sallyport
and continued through the campus and
beyond the hedges.
Because personal safety is a concern for
both men and women, from Rice and from the
community, a broad range of people were
expected to join us in the march.
These are some of the specific safety
measures we are seeking; better lighting on
campus, self-defense classes, rape and
acquaintance rape seminars, a paid and trained
escort service, and action on the
recommendations of the "Report of the Task
Force on Campus Climate for Women."
