Editor: I wanted to comment on the article in the April 8 issue of The Daily Utah Chronicle ("Forum looks at lack of reported U rapes") about the rape awareness forum that was held on April 7.

The U ski team failed in its attempt to win back-to-back championships at the NCAAs last week, but came close with a second-place finish, which left coach Kevin Sweeney content.
