Rape risk increases in summer
"The most common single situation where a rape occurs is when a woman leaves a bar and runs away."
Hoggard, director of the KU information center, said more rapes were reported from students.
It's 2 a.m. during the summer and a popular Lawrence bar is about to close. One young woman accepts a ride with a man she has just met. The probability of her getting on a bus to Kathy Hogarth, a member of the Douglas County Rape Victim Support Service.
Hoggard said it was a myth that rapi-
ttes attacked only women who were sexually
Residents of Stouffe Place on the University of Kansas campus reported two crimes to the KU Police Department Tuesday night.

Gov. Brown slices budget, freezes salaries
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Gov. Edmund Brown Jr. cut $715 million from his proposed 1978-79 state budget yesterday and asked the federal government for California's 224,000 state employees.
Since last week's landslide victory of the tax initiative, thousands of school, city and county employees have received layoff notices.
Brown, a Democrat, said the cuts would free state money to ease the impact on schools, cities and counties caused by passage last week of Proposition 13, the tax revolt initiative that cuts California property taxes by more than half.
Brown said the salary freeze for state workers would reduce the number of layoffs at the local level, but his action was immediately condemned by three employee groups.
The victim was taken to Lawrence by the police and his condition is unknown.
"IF A RAPIST has a choice between a very sexy-looking woman walking confidently down the street and a timid-looking woman in a trench coat, he'll take the timid woman every time." she said. "She offers less resistance."
Hoggard said that regardless of how or when a rapa occurred, it should be reported immediately to increase the chances that the rapist will be caught.
According to Mike Hill, KU police chief, a male resident of the married house's apartments was the victim of an aggravated assault by two unidentified males in the Stouffer Place parking lot just after midnight.
Hill said that the police had no evidence linking the two incidents and that no evidence was found.
He said that in the wake of the incidents, patrols would be intensified in the area of Stouffler Place and that investigations into both cases would continue.
Earlier Susan Hoehl, Stouffer Place No. 19-5, had reported to the police that two males attempted to gain entrance to her locked apartment but were unsuccessful.

THE LAWRENCE POLICE department taken an attitude in their instruction of a rape.
Martin Wollmann, director of health services at Watkins Memorial Hospital, said that when the rape victim arrived at Watkins, her medical history was checked and a doctor examined her. She is treated for any injuries she may have sustained and checked for pregnancy in case of disease. A actividad examination is given with the doctor. The doctor may administer a morning-after birth control pill, although this is not routine, Watkins said.
"The police need information about the assailant and the actual attack," she said.
*Questions that they ask that may seem overly surestriet to the average person do have a point.*

"Not reporting a rape is undesirable in my opinion," he said. "However, the point needs to be made that it's the woman's fault for not reporting it." No rape. Noone will violate her wishes.
Goward said the support service tried to prepare rape victims for the kind of emergency that could arise.
He said the hospital often referred rape victims to the rape victim support service.
WOLLMANN SAID the hospital was not required to report a rape to the police.
vestigation to a rape.
"We try to humanize our portion of it as much as possible." Ron Olin, crime analyst, said.
"FOR INSTANCE, an officer might ask if the assailant had soft hands. That may seem like an odd question but they can tell from a woman's answer whether an assailant is a white-collar worker. If he had rough, calloused hands, he might be a blue-collar worker."
The police have become much more sensitive and compassionate with rape
"WHEN WE FIRST started five years ago, I think the police thought of us as a bunch of wild-eyed, meddling feminists," she said. "Now I think they realize that a victim who's not afraid of them is much easier to work with."
"I think the role the police play in the investigation has been misrepresented by popular television shows. There you see victims abused and given a hard time by police officers. You won't find those scenes in Douglas County."
Olin said the police department referred victims to the support service to help them with any emotional problems they might have suffered.
Hogard agreed, saying that the support service had gradually developed a working relationship.
Hoggard said that she usually told a rape victim to try to remember as much as she could about the crime.
