The XAVIERITE Vol. 67, No. 12 Campus Calendar get the inside scoop on SXU Page 7 The student newspaper of Saint Xavier University Baseball's Booming step aside Sox and Cubs Page 12 Friday, April 16,1999 PC thefts persist Art computer missing after holiday By Rosemary Mazurowski News Editor Another computer has been stolen from campus this semester, bringing the total number of computer thefts to five. The computer was stolen from an art department office, L122. This is the second computer that has been stolen from this office that is shared by three professors. Art Professor Monte Gerlach walked into his office after Easter break on the morn- ing of Tuesday, April 5 to find that his computer had been taken from his desk. the theft oc- curred sometime between that morning and 10 p.m. Thursday April 1, the last time Gerlach was in his office. The lock has not been changed and thewindow was replaced without frosting to reduce visibility from the outside. The Chicago Police came to the school to investigate. They dusted for prints, but no word on any suspects have been announced. Stored on the computer was Gerlach's electronic grade book and his student files. He also uses his computer to grade assignments from the two computer courses that he teaches. Now he must take the assignments home to grade as he is currently without a computer in his office. It was originally reported by the Xavierite that the first computer was also stolen out of L122 when entry was gained by smashing one of the office windows. However, it has been learned that the shattered fragments of the window were found entirely outside of the building, appearing that someone who was already in the office broke the window. Gerlach believes that the person who has stolen these computers has a key to the office. According to another source on campus, these computer thefts may be linked to the alleged loss of a set of master keys to the building. In addition, this same source alleged a housekeeping radio has been stolen opening the possibility that the campus security radio conversations can be listened in on. After the first theft in the office, Gerlach asked for the lock on the door to be changed and for a new frosted window since the broken one needed to be replaced . The lock has not been changed and the window was replaced without frosting to reduce visibility from the outside. "I don't blame security," said Gerlach when talking about the thefts.

Students learn self-defense Chimera program teaches self confidence to women By Kelley A. Harris Features Editor Every six minutes in this country alone, a woman is the victim of sexual assault. The sad part about it is that most women know who their attacker is. This is known as acquaintance rape and it happens all too often. On Thursday, April 8th, there was a presentation from Chimera, a self defense class designed specifically for women and girls. Chimera was founded in 1971 by Andra Medea. Medea had an illness that made her weaker and therefore an easier target for assaults. She wanted to devise a way that women could defend themselves. To the instructors of Chimera, a woman doesn't have to play into the role of being defenseless against an assailant. She has every right to defend herself and every right to say "No" to something she doesn't want. While attending the presentation, the students, mostly women, were given simple ba- sic instructions on how to defend themselves. The volunteer instructor gave a few pointers on how an assault takes place. First, the attacker targets their victim, deciding who she will be, test her, to see how far they can get, and then the assault occurs. Often, The Chimera is a female mythical beast whose name is associated with imaginary fear. women are afraid to speak up for themselves. However, this only makes them more of a target to assailants. The simplest things can make you either seem vulnerable or make the attacker think that they shouldn't mess with you. One thing the instructor pointed out was the way you hold your head. A woman should walk with her head raised and eyes forward. Holding the head down makes you look like you don't know what's going on. Then she pointed out that even swinging your arms can throw an attacker off. The best weapons you have are your hands and feet. Some simple techniques the instructor gave included a front-snap kick. The woman simply snaps her leg out like a door hinge. Unlike most people think, the groin isn't always the best place to aim when trying to get an assailant off of you. If they are much taller, then you have to aim higher in your kicks, putting you in even more imminent danger. Aiming for the knees will often do much more See DEFENSE PAGE 10 Mail brings tuition hike By Virginia J. Schumann Managing Editor The Office of the President announced the new St. Xavier tuition and fee structure for the 1999- 2000 academic year recently. A letter to students explained the increased costs and added benefits of the increase. Undergraduate tuition increased from $435 per credit hour during the 98-99 academic school year to $455. During the 98-99 academic year room and board (a double room and meal plan #1) cost $5,340 and has been increased to $5,553. Graduate school credit hours have also increased in cost. The University considers two factors while determining the tuition and fee structure each year. See TUITION PAGE 10 ST.

Dancing the night away on the lighted dance floor is a great experience," said Director of Student Leadership, Kim Johnson.
