Most rape victims know their rapists
By Jill Ovens

Maybe she drank too much, or maybe her dress was provocative. Or perhaps her perfume was enticing. But if he forced her to have sexual interaction with her, then she said no. "It was rage, a Lawrence rape counselor said Monday."
Whether or not she knows the man has nothing to do with her guilt, said Elle Le Compte, a counselor at the project. 336, Missouri St. Support Project, 336, Missouri St.
"Nothing that a victim does gives a man a license to rape her." Le Compte said. "So often when a woman has been raped, it is when the victim knows the man that she feels the most guilt."
A recent study reported in Glamour magazine indicated that 95 percent of the women surveyed at the study had been sexually abused and said they had had experienced some
Glamour also reported that Mary P. Koss, a professor at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, surveyed the sexual experiences of four thousand women. Koss found that almost 25 percent of them had agreed reluctantly to sexual intercourse because of continuing interural pressure and that 13 percent actually had been raped.
sexual aggression while dating and 20 percent said they had been forced to have intercourse.
However, Koss found that only 8 percent of the women who said they had been raped reported the incidents to police.
The magazine also reported that, according to a 1983 National Crime Survey sponsored by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, more than 40 percent of American women who were married in their year were raped by people they knew.
Le Compte said she and other
counselors at the Rape Victim Support Project had thought that the Department of Justice statistics were too low.
"About 60 percent of the calls we get are from women who were raped by an acquaintance, someone they knew at least, although they wouldn't necessarily be rapes occurring on dates," she said.
Jessie Treu, an officer with the Lawrence Police Department who specializes in rape prevention, said that many rapes had occurred in Lawrence involving women who had accepted rides from or had offered rides to men they had met for the first time.
"Be careful whom you take rides from or give rides to," she said. "If you have exchanged little more than a dozen majors, you really don't know them."
Treu said women should remember they had the right to
define how intimate they were prepared to be.

"A social engagement is not a sexual commitment," she said. "You can say 'no at any point.'"
Treu said that if a woman planned to go out on a first date with a man, it was a good idea to tell a friend who she would be going with, where they would be going and, if possible, when she would return home.
Also, Tren advises that a woman on a first date with a man take enough money for a cab fare home. Then, she always can get home without her
When a woman encounters sexual aggression on a date, rather than with a stranger, she is usually in a situation to talk her way out of it. Tru said.
"You can say, 'This is rape,' "she said. "Call it what it is. Tell him you'll call the police if he doesn't stop. And mean it."

Four cases have been filed this month and will be heard in August and September. KU students filed three of the four suits: Craig Krueger Sioux City, Iowa, junior Natalie Green, Topeka senior, and Brian and Tracy McClendon, Lawrence juniors.
Shaneyelft, Manhattan junior, moved out in February. The two received payments within the last two weeks.
Nellans said that she had taken care of the paperwork at her end of the operation When Berlin and the others had moved out of the apartments. Nellans took the check-forms to Management USS, which

that," Nellans said. "Management USA informed me on July 11 that they would be returning deposits within seven to 10 days."
Berlin places the blame for the delay on the California management company, not on the local management.
"The local people sounded regretful," she said. "I think it put them in an embarrassing situation. I think to a certain extent their hands are
But Jeffrey Forer, a Los Angeles attorney for Management USA, said the problem stemmed from a lack of communication between the head of the company and his clients.
"I am in the process of trying to
figure out what our damages are to pay them out," he said. "There's no reason for us to hold security deposits."
Berlin said she still wanted to sue the company.
"It's the principle," she said. "I don't think they should be able to get away with this. They don't care about the little person who might need that deposit. To the student, that's a lot of money."
Clyde Chapman, director of the Lawrence Consumer Affairs Association, 819 Vermont St., said recently that six former tenants had called his office to sue for non-refunded security deposits. Two of those people filed formal complains with the association, which then contacted local management and the management company in California.
This is not the first time tenants of Jayhawk West have had problems getting their security deposits refunded. Chamman said.
"Things have been bad off and on with the apartments for years," he said. "Things were really bad in 1891 when they were under different circumstances, again last year, but at least they were communicating with us then."
One of the problems is that local management refers calls to the California company. An answering service responds to all calls there.

LEASE A TWO BEDROOM UNIT NOW!
Frank Giacobi, who is a co-owner of James A. Garfield's Restaurant along with the newly opened Garfield's Plus restaurant in Syracuse, said he will appeal Monday's ruling in U.S. District Court
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The wise cracking cartoon cat "Garfield" may be funny to some people, but not to owners of two James A Garfield toy cars. The cars are more than $26,000 in damages for infringing on the "Garfield" copyright.
For Fall Semester
Judge Neal McCurn ruled the restaurants violated a court injunction barring them from linking themselves to the cartoon.
McCurn ordered the owners to pay $26,753 to cover attuners' fees for United Features Syndicate Inc., which distributes "Garfield," a popular cartoon by Jim Davis and featuring the feline.

CABLE TV MEETING
A public meeting will be held before the Douglas County Commission to consider cable carriage of all television stations licensed to cities within Douglas County.
When: Thursday, July 25 at 10:30 a.m.
Where: Douglas County Courthouse, 11th & Mass., 2nd floor
We at TV 30 believe that we and all television stations originating local service to the people of Douglas County should be carried on the local cable systems.
If you agree with this principle, we ask that you attend this public meeting to show your interest.
The World Company, which owns the Sunflower cable system and the Journal World, has denied our requests for cable carriage.
We believe, like Thomas Jefferson, that a democracy requires an informed electorate and different points of view must be exposed to the public.
