University College Day
'Nuts, sluts and
perverts' returns
Jonathan Resendez

The odder the title, the bigger
the turnout.
Two students and a professor
presented "Nuts, Sluts and Per-
verts, Part II" to a packed room as
part of Wesleyans University Col-
lege Day.
The three-part presentation cov-
ered child molesters, cults and the
misconstrued popularity of A1 Ca-
pone by popular culture.
Lavena Hernandez, senior crim-
inal justice and psychology major,
gave the first part of the presenta-
tion over child rape.
"I have a passion for children
victims of crime," Hernandez said.
Her interest in the subject was
sparked after seeing multiple cas-
es of child abuse while working for
the medical examiner's office.
"It's a very interesting topic that
needs to be researched so all of us
can come together to find solu-
tions," she said.
To the nervous laughter of the
audience, Hernandez recom-
mended incarcerating child rap-
ists then torturing them to save on
prison costs.
"When the crime of child rape
is committed, do these heinous
criminals have the capabilities of
being rehabilitated," she asked.
"Do we lock them up or let them
rot? Or do we save them with
treatment for their low self-esteem
and lack of self-control; formulat-
ing tests they achieve for future
release back into society and cross
our fingers they do not recidivate
with the same crime."
Allison Tidwell, senior sociolo-
gy major, followed Hernandez and
spoke about women in cults.

Lavena Hernandez offered the solution of imprisoning and torturing
people convicted of child rape during her UCD presentation.
"When a cult leader is looking
for a member to participate, they
want the best and the brightest,"
she said. "In the majority of cases,
there is usually some kind of life-
changing event that has happened
to this person that has caused
them to become involved in this
form of behavior."
Lisbeth Cervantes, freshman
criminal justice major, said she
found the presentation over cults
fascinating.
"To know there's still cults today,
and 5,000 [of them]," she said, "I
was astonished by that "
The presentation concluded
with Dr. Greg Gullion's presenta-
tion "A1 Capone: Social Construc-
tion of a Gangster Superstar."
"When you think about gang-
sters, this is typically the guy ev-
erybody thinks about first," he
said.
Gullion spoke about Capone's
rise through the Chicago mob and
dispelled many misconceptions
about Capone.
"A lot of people think he died
in prison," he said. "They actually
released him because he had con-
tracted syphilis."
Capone more than likely con-
tracted the disease while running
a prostitution house for the Five
Points Gang in New York City,
Gullion said.
Gullion was a founder of the
original "Nuts, Sluts and Perverts"
that ran during last year's UCD
with Dr. Carol Johnson-Gerendas.
The final name came from a
brainstorming session in which
more timid tides were thrown
around.
"We thought 'nuts, sluts and
perverts' would bring people in
even though that wasn't the en-
tire content," Gullion said. "We
thought the university would fire
us, but we ended up having the
largest session last year."
HOUSING continued from page 1
White as interim housing di-
rector until April 30.
White put his vision for
change into effect immedi-
ately.
"In our experiences, mar-
keting is more than just send-
ing out brochures and telling
people to live on campus,"
White said. "It's how you treat
your customers. It's the little
things you do while you live
on campus and what students
tell other students."
White said he and Harris
noticed very active students
desiring the "college experi-
ence" who didn't feel like they
were getting it at Wesleyan.
"They want a place they can
hang out in—that they can
have fun with," he said.
Most students can't or don't
want to hang out until later
at night after most of the ser-
vices offered by Wesleyan are
closed, White said.
The consultants noticed sev-
eral vacant areas in Stella that
could serve as group study or
music practice rooms.
" [We want to ] find out what
the students want to use the
room for and do something
with it," White said.
Students were also con-
cerned with the cleanliness
and maintenance of the facili-
ties, the report showed.
"My opinion is that they're
not very clean at all," said Cara
Lumpkin, freshman biology
major. "The poor janitors have
to do what they can."
Lumpkin said the dorms
were old and that the dirtiest
parts of them were the com-
munity bathrooms.
While rewrote job descrip-
tions and moved responsibili-
ties around to create a more
efficient system for keeping
tabs on maintenance.
There are plans in the works
for maintenance to keep track
of work orders.
While said when he first
asked how to find out if a work
order had been completed, the
answer was "when the student
stops complaining.
"That's not how it's sup-
posed to be," he said.
DEGREE continued from page 1
very confused as to what a SCJ
degree is.
"The job market is much
better and more open to you
if you're a straight CJ student,"
Tidwell said.
Gullion said the number of
jobs in criminal justice will
increase by 27 percent in the
next 10 years.
"There will be a huge in-
flux of students coming to
Wesleyan in CJ because they
know it's going to pay off ca-
reer wise," he said.
The criminal justice field
has become more academic,
and they need good, quality
people who are very highly
educated and want to go out
and make a difference, he said.
"We need good people that
know what they're doing,"
Gullion said.
Gullion said he is very excit-
ed about this degree because
of his passion for teaching CJ
and seeing students succeed.
"I love teaching students
here at this university, and
anything that I can do to help
students be successful and get
a bachelor's degree here and
then leave the school and get a
really fun career, I'm all for it,"
Gullion said.
