University Offers Rape Counseling
University rape counselors characterized the attitude toward rape among KU women as "low-level hysteria" during a rap session last week.
Of the twenty-one unsolved cases of rape or attempted rape that have been reported in Lawrence during the past 18 months, 11 have occurred on the campus, police said.
The most recent reported attack at KU was Feb. 3, near Stephenship Scholarship
Pollice say he had no strong leads, but thought one man was responsible for 15-20 of the reported attacks. Lawrence and campus police are cooperating in the investigation.
KU's rape counseling service, staffed by women, exists to help women cope with the fear of rape and the aftermath of a rpist's attack.
The rape counselors said their main purpose was to provide emotional support to women who had been raped. Victims' they said, are of primary importance.
A rape counselor may be contacted through Headquarters or the KU Information Center at any time of the day or night.
If police have not been contacted, the
counselor's first duty to a victim is to explain the importance of police involvement. Counselors said they could report a rape to police without using the victim's name, but they tried to get the victim to report the crime.
Victims are advised not to bathe or change their clothing because personal condition is evidence of the crime. Counselors offer to drive the person to the hospital or meet them there because rape should be examined for internal injuries.
Rape victims do not have to report the crime in order to receive medical aid at Watkins Hospital, the counselors said, and an investigation by law to report a rape patient to police.
COUNSELORS ENCOURAGE the victim to have a vaginal smear taken at the hospital so a living sperm count can be done. The sperm count indicates ap- pearment of penetration and is documented evidence in case the victim prosecutes.
Victims are also given a general examination, tested for venereal disease and offered a morning after contraceptive pill.
Slides Show Rape Defense
A slide show titled "Women Take Warning" has been produced by the Dean of Women's Office and campus police to protect themselves from attackers.
★ ★
The show will be presented for the first time Tuesday evening before an audience of 1,500.
"Women Take Warning" attempts to teach women to be aware of the danger of attack and to keep a clear head. It also advises women to wear clothing such as carrying a lighted cigarette
Tuesday's showing will be the first of
numerous presentations across the campus.
Interested women should contact Casey
A booklet called "What Every Woman Should Know About Self-Protection" will be distributed at the shows. It offers suggestions on how to avoid being the victim of an attack and what to do if attacked.
The back cover of the booklet tells what to do if you are raped or attacked on the KU campus. "What Every Woman Should Know" is available free at the Dean of Women's office.
Peer support is an especially important function of the counselors during the victim's contact with the police. The counselors said they were ready to help with getting pertinent information to police investigators.
After the initial investigation period, counselors offer to take victims home, or perhaps invite them to spend the night with
a counselor. The counselors said they did
what seemed best for the victim.
Counselors remain available to help the woman through succeeding periods of depression or difficult times such as line-ups and hearings.
They have contact with many professionals on campus and in the community.

Food costs will increase the basic price of residence hall contracts next year, J. J. Wilson, director of residence halls, said. Costs of contracts will increase $80, of which $60 will go for food and $20 for maintenance.

Exigency . . .

inasmuch as the salary money for a certain number of positions would have been deleted from the appropriations," the board's statement said.
Robert D. Adams, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said last night that the committee would probably make recommendations concerning financial exigency to Dykes about the beginning of March.
The matter of financial exigency has been under debate lately at the University of Kansas Campus. In a tenure statement last semester Chancellor Arch R. Dykes said that financial exigency was difficult to address because it didn't mean "budgetary convenience."
"Men will cry and laugh for the same reasons," he said.
chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), said he would have to read the full statement that agents before commenting on the matter.
The regents also said that they viewed tenure as "guarantee of academic freedom and a commitment to due process in any termination of faculty" but that tenure didn't guarantee permanent employment in case the actual need for faculty was reduced in order to carry out specific programs.
"This is as important as any statement the reents have issued in recent years," Goodman said. "It's an extremely im- portant statement that I careves careful and thorough examination."
Marcauel said he is exploring new paths to meet the public's demand for his art. He is opening a studio of mime in France. He and Marcauel Company will direct the school.
J. Bunker Clark, associate professor of history of music, and president of the Kansas conference of AAPU said the question of financial exigency had not yet been closely butted that a more exact analysis might be drawn up by AAUP by late April.
Lewis and Joseph R. Pearson Halls will increase from 850 to $1045.
"The school will be open six months a year," he said, "so I will be able to teach, as well as the members of my company. It is our responsibility to introduce new generation and new talents in the field.

Hashing Hail rates will increase from $1015 to $1995. Already included in the rate is the security fee and a fee for the use of a studio.
CORRIN AND Gertrude Sellars Pearson residents will pay $1945. In addition to the $80 increase, they pay $15 for exercise and music practice rooms.

In the film, Marceau plays two parts. He is a talkative scientist and a silent narrator.
