New sexual assault policy

"non-consensual sexual contact" as well
as "non-consensual sexual intercourse."

El Burrito Azteca: chea.p burritos and tacos
By ZACK JOHNSON
SITUATEDA T the corner of North
Rosa Parks Way and North
Denver Avenue, El Burrito Azteca
is a Mexican restaurant specializing
in burritos and tacos. With a freshly
painted two-toned brown exterior and
eclectically decorated interior, the
restaurant is approximately twenty
minutes from campus, bordering the St.
Johns neighborhood of North Portland.
The building itself is rather unassuming
and is hidden • behind weaving
powerlines and amidst surrounding
buildings. A small outside seating area
sits beneath a colorfully lighted sign
tethered to the corner of the building's
exterior. The smell of spiced meats
wafts from the restaurant's kitchen.
Once inside, the restaurant boasts a
collection of artwork and decor; orange
and mint green walls contrast against

neon signs. Most burritos are priced
at less than $6, while a plain bean and

in sour cream, red sauce, and melted
