Date rape is becoming more popular as the years go by.  Because of a drug called Rohypnol (flunitrazepam), it is becoming easier for the rapist to attack anyone they choose.  These drugs are a rapist dream come true.   Once slipped into the victim's drink at a party or club it becomes odorless, colorless, and virtually tasteless making it very hard for the victim to realize that they have been drugged.  This drug intensifies the effects of alcohol, the victim will act drunk after only one drink.  
    Rohypnol is a drug that is given to insomnia suffers in sixty countries around the world.  The United States is not one of those countries because the has never passed FDA standards.  Authorities believe that Rohypnol is being brought into the U.S. through Mexico, Colombia, and  
Europe.  Rohypnol is very hard to spot.  It is a dime-size white pill that looks like Tylenol.    
    Rohypnol has the effect of Valium but is ten to twenty times stronger.  Sleepiness, memory loss and decreased inhibition are side effects that make it easy for the rapist. [more]   

ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT 
By Sue Ehlers 

    Recently, Bob the bus driver asked me to write about something positive that is happening in  
my life.  It just so happens that I have come to a startling new revelation.  ALL men aren’t liars!  I bet this means that all hunters and blondes aren’t  stupid, all plumbers don’t have butt cracks showing and that there is a place in society for handgun ownership.    
    I have been rather harsh to the opposite sex lately, and for that, I apologize.  I have realized that just because I have a problem with one person of the opposite species it doesn’t mean that they are all bad.  I don’t have to put down all drinkers just because I don’t drink, or all meat eaters  
just because I don’t eat meat.  By the same token I don’t have to put down the martial arts, hunting, trapping, fishing, or trap shooting just because someone that [more]

The Deans Forum
By Dean Joel Rodney

    This morning’s blanket of snow made the fact that we are within two weeks of Finals (yes, Finals!) seem a little more real. I want to congratulate the Writers’ Guild for their Christmas 
Float taking Second Place among Nonprofit Organizations’ entries in this past Sunday’s West Bend Christmas Parade.  This is more of the community spirit that I talked about in our last issue, and it makes a very positive statement about us to the community at large. 
    Because this is the last issue of UBIQ before the end of the semester, I want to take this opportunity to wish you all well on your exams, and to hope that you all enjoy restful and safe 
holidays.  For those of you going on from UWWC, I hope that you keep memories of the campus with you, and as for everyone else, I look forward to seeing you when classes start again!

There’s a moral here
Charlie Brown! 
By Brian Rose

    UWWC is a predominantly white campus to those of you who haven’t noticed, and it has 
never had a problem about minorities being denied the privilege to attend this university. Then again, UWWC is a two year college and a majority of the students here had less than perfect GPA’s in high school. So it wouldn’t be hard for a struggling minority to attend here.
    There is however a problem that has come about at the University of Colorado-Boulder (CU).  In a recent u-wire article from Colorado U.; minority frosh enrollment is up six percent , but the state were to pass a proposed affirmative action ban bill, Boulder could become a whiter, [more]
