Although old and young people live in the same neighborhoods, individuals over 50 were less likely to be victims of crime. People 18 to 29 were the most likely to be victimized. "Younger people are just more in situations that allow them to be victimized at a higher frequency," said Lois Haggard, director of the U. Survey Research Center. Results of the survey showed while older people scored higher than younger people, females scored significantly lower than their male counter- a sig- nificantly lower overall quality of life than scored lower in categories such as availability of transportation, perception of their environ- and human rights (whether they had been a victim of discrimination at least once during the past 12 months).

The Along with the active Mormons, people over 60, married couples, those with no results of the study just go "to show how gender is still a prevalent tool for discrimination in our society." Candy Brinkman, a doctoral student at the U., who teaches in the sociology and women's studies departments, said that women may have scored lower because "many women have a double burden" due to trying to work and raise a family.

Main Street A student living in Austin Hall complained of harassment by his roommate. He said that he had been awakened by the roommate's loud parties and television viewing. When he asked the roommate to show more consideration, the roommate replied, "if you can't hang with the big dogs, sleep on the porch." After he left and returned, the man said that he and his room- mate had a fight and he was thrown against the wall. After campus police became involved, he decided not to press charges and resolved to settle the problems on his own. A female employee of the University Medical Center called hospital security after receiving a harassing telephone call. When she answered the phone, an unknown male voice called her by name and said he wanted to touch her breasts. The suspect identified himself before hanging up, but it is not yet clear whether he provided his correct name. MARCH 2 Responding to a disturbance call at the U.
