Rape victim service sees big job ahead
It took nine years of struggling for funds to establish the Lawrence Rape Victim Supply Center, the organization still has a lot of ground to cover. Jo Bryant, co-directed by RVSAD, said.
"Attitudes have improved." Bryant said, "but it's still not widely accepted that an assault is the responsibility of an assailant.
"A rape victim may make an error of judgment, but 'that in no way makes her responsible for the assault."
Changing public attitudes is difficult, but the Court has made clear that Lawrence district judge to grant probation to a convicted rapist reprimals old ways of thinking and could keep rapists victims from being prosecuted.
Judge Ralph M. King Jr, recently placed 19-year-old Robert Winston Brown and 20-year-old Rondell S. Southard on probation for five years.
BROWN WAS CONVICTED by a jury in August for the May 19, 1979, kidnapping and rape of a Lawrence woman. He was sent to notless than five years in prison.
Southard, who was originally charged with kidnapping and rape, pleaded guilty to a charge of attempted aggravated sodomy sentenced to one to five years in prison.
JUDGE KING placed both men on probation for five years after they were evaluated over a three-month period by psychiatric in Toeika.
Some RVSS members said they hoped the decision was not an indication of lenency by the courts toward rape suspects.
"Our style has never been to right out there and fight everyone in sight," Bryant said. We do want to hear his (Judge King's) viewpoint and he hears ouroes.
Years ago, the court system was not as receptive to ideas about supporting rape victims.
AFTER A LAWRENCE WOMAN was appicted in court to be questioned what to do with the injured friend of course and harah questioning by a defense attorney, she set out to organize a group of people.
The woman, Pat Henry, who is now the acting assistant director of KU Affirmative Action Center in frontcoming police, doctors and district attorneys about their behavior toward rape.
Two years later the office of the dean of women at the University of Kansas became known as the Women's Institute about 20 sexual assaults were committed against local women, many of whom were in jail.
IN 1973 RVSS received a grant from the Governor's Commission for Criminal Administration. The grant provided financial stability and also allowed her to prevent Pre-Noat Pat Answer. "A state-wide conference also was held to help women in other communities learn how to start their own rao support services. The grant was renewed after one year."
Since then the group has been supported by the United Way and the KU Student Senate. About two-thirds of the group's staff are on campus, and Fund and the rest from the Student Senate.
An RVSS volunteer is on call 24 hours a day to provide support for rape victims.
The volunteers must give two educational programs a month. The programs explain self-defense techniques and try to educate people about my concerning rape.

Slattery said his proposal's basic thrust was to give local officials enforcement power over balloonists.
"I ask understand it, if you want to register a complaint about a balloon incident, you've got to tell someone else," he said in Kansas City. "Slatter said, 'That distance constitutes an impediment to any investigation.'"

Ralph Christoffersen, vice chancellor for academic affairs, Frances Horwitz, vice chancellor for research and graduate studies, Michael Chang for East Asian studies will accompany Shankel.
The KU group, which is making the trip at the invitation of officials from Nankai University in Tianjin, China, plan to leave on Monday and visit the trip app come from private sources.
But according to Smith, the angered farmers might not wait for legislative action.
Del Shankar, executive vice chancellor, will lead the university delegation to meet with students of People's Republic to discuss a possible student-faculty exchange program with two universities
During their two-week visit in China, the group will visit National University. Nanjing University will send a representative University to 'get an idea of those who'll profit from study there.' Shankel said last week.
Balloonists who are caught violating FAA altitude regulations can be fined or have their flight certificates suspended or revoked, he said.
But the Council for International

programs between American and Chinese
students.
"We've had some problem in out Garden, and a little incident last year in Johnson County with a livestock owner, but not much else." McAnally said.
McAnally also said that even if Kansas pass its own regulations, the FAA still would be required to investigate any reported incidents.
KU has never participated in exchange programs with universities in China, although some students and faculty members have made private trips.
Participants in two China Study tours sponsored by the council, which begin June 13 and 29, will visit a half dozen Chinese cities, educational institutions, communities and factories. The programs cost about $350. This includes travel from the West Coast.

LETTERS TO BE SENT to the FAA and the Balloon Federation of America will request their cooperation in solving the problem by capturing their own balloons, Dierkard so.
"You'll see farmers get together on this and take down balloon numbers and all," Smith said. "If the Legislature won't do it, you have to action on the troopers themselves."
adequately enforce attitude levels helped the committee decide to seek outside help in solving the problems, according to Arden Bicknell, the chairman of the Transportation committee.
If the problems show no sign of correction by the next legislative session, he said, the committee probably would recommend that such a bill be passed.

Miller said it was possible that balloonists from across the state could get together and talk about their experiences in a troubled spot before, but that such action would probably be taken only if the balloon had crashed.

Benjamin said that he was unsure whether Brown would visit Kansas before the primary here, but that he already had four or two-three-day visits by the candidate.
He said there were Brown coordinators in Maitchon, Manhattan and Salina. In addition to those coordinating people are encouraging voter registration in their areas before the March 11 registration day.
Benjamin said he was on his way to Lyon for an anti-nuclear dump rally and planned trips soon to Chanute, Pittsburg and Humboldt.

But even if Brown's issues interest Kansans, Benjamin said, his campaign is still loosely organized.
If Brown does visit, he said, stops would include Wichita, Towera, Lawrence, Kansas City and possibly Manhattan, Salina and Hutchinson. :
