BY JEFF SEDDON
Trustees of tha Huron
County o Board of
Education plan to go to
the movies June 12 to
decide if . two films
dealing with rape are fit
for use in county high
schools.
The films, How to Say
No to a Rapist and Sur-
vive and All about Rape,
are suggested viewing for
secondary school
students to help them
deal with a rapist if they
are ever confronted by
one. One film, How to Say
No to a Rapist and Sur-
vive, is currently in the
board's film library and
the other has just been
released.
Dorothy Wallace,
chairman of the board's
school program policy
committee, told the board
that the board owned film
has been shown once in
1977-78 to a Grade 12 law
class. The film recently
came under some
criticism after a
University of Western
Ontario student em-
ployed the advice offered
in the film and was
brutally raped on the
London campus last year.
The victim claimed the
advice given in the film
was wrong and that the
film should be banned-

PCBs have been found
to accumulate in com-
