Sexual assault often goes underreported

Oct. 15, 2013

To say that rape culture does not exist on this campus is to keep one’s eyes and ears closed. The incident that happened Homecoming Weekend might have been isolated by its publicity, but sexual assault is by no means a small problem on this or any other college campus. According to RAINN—the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network—only 54 percent of rapes are actually reported to the police, and of those rapes that are reported, only 3 percent of the attackers will spend a day in prison. To put it plainly, sexual assault is prevalent and underreported.

This Day in History: Raid results in execution for abolitionist

Oct. 15, 2013

On this day in 1859 the famous raid on Harpers Ferry, Va., by abolitionist John Brown to seize the arsenal there and start an armed slave revolt occurred.
