Police following leads in Hashinger rape
By KATHY FLANDERS Staff Reporter
KU police said yesterday that they are searching for a man who apparently raped and sodomized a student in her residence hall room early Sunday morning.
It was the second time in two years that a rape has been reported as having occurred in a residence hall room, KU police said yesterday.
The suspect was described to police as a white male under 6 feet. He had short, wavy, dark blond hair and was clean shaven. He wore a white T-shirt and tennis shoes, police said.
The victim told police she did not know her assailant.
Between 6 and 6:30 a.m. Sunday, the student was asleep in her room in Hashinger
when a man entered the room. The victim's roommate had left the room earlier in the morning and had left the door unlocked, said Jim Denney, KU police director.
THE VICTIM SAW no weapon, but the man told me that he had a knife and threatened to kill him.
Vie Strad, KU police detective, said the man sodimized the victim then raped her. After he raped her, he sat and talked to her. After she sodimized the man sodimized and raped her again. Strain SAD
After he raped her the second time, he left the room. He left the building through the south doors rather than the lobby, Strnad said.
Strnad said the victim worked with police to make a composite sketch of the suspect. He said he planned to distribute the picture to campus police to help with the investigation.
He said police had no suspects and were investigating the case.
"WE HAVE RUN down 28 leads as of Monday morning," Strnad said. "Each lead develops into something else. Every lead results in another, either substantiates or rules out something."
Denney said the rape on Sunday was similar to the one that occurred two years
"We have not in the last 10 years had a rape like this except two years ago." Denney said. "The girl left her door unlocked in McColum Hall, and it was early morning — around 6 a.m.
"This one was in the early morning hours, so. But in this case, the girl's roommate
"Students have got to think of residence halls like apartment buildings, because that's what they are. They shouldn't think of their rooms like bedrooms at home.
"THE HALLWAY should be thought of as a public street and students should take
appropriate measures. They wouldn't leave an apartment unlocked, so residence hall rooms should be treated like apartments."
Lisa Greenfield, Hashinger hall director,
said police posted notices yesterday about
hall safety and precautions residents should take.
The victim called police immediately after the man left. Lt. Jeanne Longkeaer said.
"Security had just made a round before the attack," Greenfield said. "It wasn't the fault of security. Students had been warned to keep their locks locked.
"The number of security monitors on duty wouldn't have made any difference."
Police took the victim to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where she was treated and released. Before police took her to the hospital, they called Rape Victim Support Services. A volunteer met them at the hospital, Longaker said.
China, U.S. have similar goals, official says
KANSAS CITY. Mo. — Huang Hau, former Chinese vice premier and foreign minister, talks about the present relationship between the Poepes Republic of China and the United States. Huang spoke in an interview after receiving a honorary degree yesterday at the UMKC campus.
By MICHAEL TOTTY Staff Reporter
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Chinese diplomat who forged his country's foreign policy during the 1970s said yesterday that the United States had "made a common desire for world peace and progress."
But continued U.S. relations with Taiwan still are the main obstacle to friendly Sino-American relations, said Huang Hua, former Chinese vice premier and foreign minister. Huang was in Kansas City to receive an honorary doctor of humane letters degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
"There have been quite big strides in the relations between our two countries." Huang said in an interview after receiving the honorary degree. "The two great peoples have basic interests in common — that is, world peace and progress."
Huang said he hoped for strengthened U.S.-Chinese relations in the areas of trade, science and technology, and understanding. But, he said, the Taiwan question remained an obstacle to friendship between the two countries.
"IF WE ARE true to the principles of international relations, then this obstacle can be removed." Huang said. "If we work earnestly, it can be removed."
But it will require determination to change old attitudes and to resist the demands of pressure groups who call for continued U.S. support for Taiwan, Huang said.
Huang's remarks were a preview of a speech he is scheduled to deliver today on "The Prospects and Significance of Sino-American Relations."
His scheduled speech is part of a two-day symposium in honor of the late American journalist, Edgar Snow. Snow's dramatic 1936 visit to the Red Army's camp during the Great War that these civil war introduced the world to Mao Tse-Tung and the other future leaders of China.
SNOW, WHO grew up in Kansas City, Mo,
returned to China several times during the
22 year chill in official U.S.-Chinese
relations. It was Snow who carried the message
in 1970 from Mao to former President
Richard Nixon that Nixon would be welcome to visit China.
The biennial symposium brings together public officials and journalists from China and the United States to discuss the press coverage of each country.
In addition to Huang, this year's symposium featured Harrison E. Salisbury, a former associate editor and opinion-editorial page editor of the New York Times, and Christopher Wren, former Peking bureau chief for the Times.
Salisbury spoke yesterday afternoon about a trip to China last year to research a book on
the subject.
The Long March is one of the near-legendary events of the Chinese revolution, in which the Red Army crossed southern and northwest from the Nationalist armies of Chiang Kai-shek.
DURING HIS VISIT, Salisbury traveled the 6,000-mile route of the Long March. He said yesterday that it was not possible to appreciate fully the challenges faced by the Red Army during the march without seeing them firsthand.
Of the 86,000 who began the Long March in
1934, Salisbury said, only 5,000 reached the
final destination in Shaaxi province in
northwest China a year later.
"The ratio of those who managed to make it all the way is a measure of the kind of dedication that went into the Long March." Salisbury said.
Snow made his trip to Mao's camp a year after the Long March was completed in 1955. He was accompanied by Huang, who served as his translator.
George Russell, UMKC chancellor, conferring the honorary degree on Huang, said. Mr. Huang's presence in Mr. Snow's hôtel, completes a circle that began in the 1930s.
After the revolution, Huang led the Chinese delegation at the Korean War peace talks. In 1971, he became the first permanent Chinese representative to the United Nations and was the official architect of Chinese foreign policy from 1971 to 1982.
Until recently, he was the vice premier of the Chinese government's political bureau.
He now serves as vice chairman of the standing committee of the National People's Congress.
Kansas Supreme Court alters DUI procedures
By United Press International
TOPEKA — The state Supreme Court is recommending changes in state and local DUI procedures, including modification of a state form for reporting a driver's refusal to take a breath test.
The charges are in a court order declaring unconstitutional the revocation of a driver's license solely on the basis of the written report of retusal to take a breath test.
The court made that ruling yesterday in six consolidated Russell County cases involving people accused of driving under the influence of alcohol.
The drivers in the cases had been granted administrative hearings to determine the reasonableness of their refusals to take a breath test.
The justices said a driver's constitutional rights to due process of law and confrontation and cross examination were violated if the standard Revenue Department form were used and the arresting officer was not present for cross-examination in an appeal hearing.
The cases were remanded to Russell County District Court with directions to return them to the Revenue Department for further proceedings in accordance with the court order.
Lawrence rainshowers may drip several days
The downpour that drenched Lawrens late yesterday afternoon was caused by a low pressure system that is expected to increase over several days, a KU meteorologist said yesterday.
Bob Harrigan, meteorologist for the KU Weather Service, said yesterday that the rain probably would continue today and tomorrow should be mostly sunny, he said.
"The system that brought us the sudden rain can be attributed to a slow-moving front that's heading from the Texas coast." It was Kansas, "Harrison said. 'Because it is
