SENSE & SENSITIVITY - Ignoring
something doesn't mean it didn't happen
by Harriette Cole
DEAR HARRIETTE: I am scared. I
went to a party with a bunch of my col-
lege buddies, and we all got crazy
drunk. I ended up sleeping with one of
the guys at the party. I am so embar-
rassed. I didn't know him at all. I don't
even know his name. Now I'm freaked
out. I can't believe how stupid I was. My
friends and I haven't mentioned any-
thing about the party or what we did. (A
few of my friends ended up in bed with
guys from the other school.) Should I
just act like nothing happened? -- Scared
Sober, Syracuse, N.Y.
DEAR SCARED SOBER: The
smartest things you can do are to talk to
your friends and to go to the doctor.
Gather your friends and tell them that
you think it would be good for you to
discuss what happened and how to
make sure it doesn't happen again.
Engaging in reckless behavior as a group
and then pretending it away makes the
action even more reckless because it can
easily be repeated. Agree that you will
not make such a dangerous set of mis-
takes in the future.
By all means, go to the doctor and
get tested for sexually transmitted dis-
eases. You may also want to get a preg-
nancy test, just to be sure of your status.
Encourage your friends to do the same.
DEAR HARRIETTE: When I was
new at my job — some 20 years ago — my
boss made a pass at me. He went so far
as to tell me that if I wanted to be suc-
cessful, this was how to do it. I was so
upset. I told another boss about it, but
nothing happened. I watched him for
years as he "secretly" had affairs with
people at work, even though he had a
wife. I no longer work there, but I just
saw this man in a professional setting,
and it all just came back to me. He was
gross back then, but this time when I
saw him he acted like we were old bud-
dies. He even asked me to have lunch
with him. Part of me wants to just so
that I can tell him off. What do you
think? — Remembering the Past, New
York City
DEAR REMEMBERING THE
PAST: If you feel that you can be calm
and collected as you tell this man how
inappropriate his behavior was when
you worked for him, by all means do it.
Make sure that you meet in a public
place. Tell him that the reason you decid-
ed to meet him is because you felt pow-
erless years ago when he said those dis-
criminatory words to you. Today you
feel powerful and able to stand up for
yourself.
Say to him, if you can, that you
hope he has turned over a new leaf and
is no longer preying on young women.
Then, get up and leave. No need to con-
tinue the conversation. If he chooses to
apologize with sincerity, accept it and
keep moving.

by Bernice Bede Osol
Do a little soul-searching this
year. You may have been limit-
ing your prospects by relying
too much on other people. As-
sert your independence. Take
a tally of your achievements,
accomplishments and ideas,
and weed out anything that
could inhibit your success.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
— You have a reputation as be-
ing steadfast and dependable,
but you should let your hair
down more often and show
your fun side. Romance and
intimacy are in the star’s. Take
a chance on love.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
— Make a contribution to a
cause you believe in or a job
that interests you. Your col-
leagues will be grateful, and
favors will come your way
when you need help in turn.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) — Your charm and poise
will make you stand out in
a crowd. Social events or
ceremonies will expose you to
potential companions if you
are looking for love. Enjoy the
attention.
Astrograph
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -
Lamily problems are immi-
nent. Keep your cool. Lollow
through on promises you've
made in order to make a good
impression and be kept in the
loop. Actions will speak louder
than words.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
— Don't confine your activities
to a set routine. Sign up for an
unconventional experience.
Consider trying an exotic
cooking or dance class, or
learning a new language.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
— Liven up your surround-
ings. You will feel proud and
fulfilled if you do the work
yourself. To avoid pitfalls or
opposition, you should be
secretive about workplace
events.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
— Don't put your social life on
the back burner. Get out and
laugh a little. Join a group that
will let you show the lighter
side of your personality.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) — You're missing an
important piece of the puzzle.
Someone has misled you. You
may have to take a roundabout
route to get the answers you
need. Proceed with caution.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19) — A needy family
member will be very demand-
ing. Don't give too much of
your time, energy or budget.
You shouldn't feel the need
to finance someone else's
mistakes.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) — Scrutinize your own
behavior before lashing out
at someone else. Don't start
something you can't finish
or that could lead to conflict
and regret. Look for positive
options.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) — Fight off fatigue and
lethargy. Don't let depression
or disinterest stand between
you and an exciting event that
could jump-start your vitality.
The first step is the hardest.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
— You are spreading yourself
too thin. Be more selective in
your choices. If you want to
stay healthy, you need to learn
to say no once in a while.
