Clarification
Pat Davis, information specialist at Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, 336 Missouri St., was quoted in a story in yesterday's Kansan as saying, "Sexual abuse against children doesn't just happen suddenly. We are coming to the understanding that the child who was abused 35 years ago grows up to be an abuser." Davis said yesterday that the quote shouldn't have implied that she thought all sexually abused children grew up to be child abusers.
Man given prison term for 3 rapes
By KATHY FLANDERS
Staff Reporter
A 27-year-old Colorado man was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison yesterday in Douglas County District Court for the July raps of three women, one of whom was a KU student.
Terry Floyd Walling of Thornton, Colo., was sentenced to 15 years to life for each of two rape counts and five years to life for a third count. Last month, Walling pleaded no contest to the three rape charges, each of which is a Class B felony.
Michael Malone, associate district judge, said the first two sentences were to be served together. That shortened Walling's sentence to three months in the Kansas state penitentiary in Lansing.
Robin Fowler, assistant Kansas attorney general who prosecuted the case, said Walling would be eligible for parole in 1998. Walling had been in jail for 221 days before incarcerating Fowler, whom that jail time would allow in the time he wants to serve before being eligible for parole.
Walled raping a KU student in her car near the 2400 block of West 25th Street. Police said Wailing knocked on the woman's door and asked to use her phone.
He asked the woman to give him a ride to his motorcycle, which he said had broken down. Police said Wailing roped the woman in her car, then escaped in the car.
The second victim was raped July 14 in her apartment in the 1700 block of West 24th St.
The third woman met Wailing on July 14 at Hawk's Crossing, 618 W. 12th St. She told police that she spent the rest of the day with Wailing and her friends.
The woman told police that she and Walling had been walking back to Hawk's Crossing at about 11 p.m. Walling pulled her into an alley and raped her.
THE WOMAN TOLD police that Walling also had shown her a folder of photographs of Michael Jackson and had told her he worked for Music Television.
Walling was arrested July 23 near Meadowbrook Apartments, 15th Street and Crestline Drive, after a Lawrence police officer saw him and thought he matched the victims' description of the rapist. Walling had been held in jail on a $3,000 bond.
Harry Warren, Walling's attorney, said in closing statements yesterday that Walling appeared to be under the influence of some kind of drug when he first saw him in jail.
"Terry had been in town for one week before the raps," Warren said. "He had done every kind of drug — angel dust, uppers, downers, marijuana and alcohol."
At the sentencing, Walling said, "I am a drug addict. It's real bad. That was my problem. But the people I got involved with had money. There was a lot of money and drugs involved."

Parking payments may be changed
By J. STROHMAIER
Staff Reporter
Students and faculty soon may have more time to pay parking tickets, but may be paying more to park in the campus toll lot. The parking permit is improved by the University Council yesterday.
The council approved the annual report of the Parking and Traffic Board, which calls for extending the amount of time violators are given to park in the car tolls, raising the fee for parking in the car tolls听
James Carothers, council president, said the report had to be approved by Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor, and Chan Yang, president, who will move to the Kansas Legislature for final approval.
He said the Legislature would have to arrange an open meeting before the end of this legislative session for students, faculty and staff who miss the changes in the parking regulations.
IN THE REPORT, the board recommends extending the amount of time violators will be permitted to pay parking tickets from 14 weeks to 15 working days, or about three weeks.
regulation changes, George Crawford, chairman of the board, said many people had complained that they had not known about tickets that they had been issued and had been upset when they received late payment notices with a $5.00 late payment fee added.
"First, under current rules, tickets may disappear from ticketed vehicles by a variety of ingenious means." Crawford's memo said. "Whatever the cause of removal, some ticket recipients are genuinely surprised and upset when they receive the late payment notice."
In a memo issued to the council explaining
To help improve awareness of tickets, the board also recommended issuing a notice of the ticket to the violator by the sixth day after the ticket had been issued.
THE BOARD ALSO recommended raising the fee for parking in the campus toll lot for the 1985-86 academic year from $50 cents to $75 cents and replacing the Kansas University and Memorial Stadium
Under current regulations, people can park in toll parking lots during school hours if they are allowed.
Don Kearns, director of the board, said the increase was proposed to make toll parking more convenient.
In addition to changes in toll parking fees and extending payment for parking tickets.
the board also recommended lengthening the time restriction for parking on campus.
Currently, only people with blue zone permits are allowed to park in some blue zones from 5 to 7:30 p.m. The proposed regulation would extend that time to 8:30 p.m. Kearns said this would allow faculty time to find free spaces in the evening.
"The recommendation was prompted because Parking Service personnel are physically unable to ticket all encoaching to 7:30 p.m." according Crawford's memo.
The memo said, "Advancing the restricted period by one hour should significantly improve the preservation of parking spaces for persons teaching evening classes."
Another change the board proposed was raising the minimum age at which faculty must complete a Master's degree.
The report said faculty members who now had blue zone permits and were younger than 56 still would be able to buy the permits. But people younger than 56 who never had bought the permits would not be allowed to do so until their 56th birthdays.
Emergencies, problems just part of an R.A.'s day

A hesitant knock on the door sometimes starts Liza Hudson's day — the knock of a resident who has locked herself out of her room
Sometimes the knock that wakes Hudson is more urgent, such as when a resident asked her to drive his sick roommate to the hospital.
Hudson, Toledo, Ohio, senior, is a resident assistant at Ellsworth Hall and is used to dealing with all sizes of emergencies. She is also assisting workers in the nine KU residence halls.
About 30 positions for assistants for the 1865-66 school year are open. About half of this year's assistants plan to return. Ruth will serve as office of residential programming, so send her.
Feb. 4 was the deadline for completed applications for next year's assistants.
"We look most of all for a genuine concern and care for people," Mikkelson said. "That's what this job is about and that's what we're looking for."
MIKKELSON, WHO is also coordinator of the assistant selection process, said that in the next two weeks, more than 100 students will undergo a formal stage of interviews for next year's positions.
Mikkelson said assistants fulfilled a variety of functions, such as performing administrative tasks in the labs, helping in crisis intervention and helping residents.
Mikkelsen said resident assistants needed to prove they were good role models by showing strong academic standing, assessment skills, maturity and good communications skills.
"Their most important function is being the manager, whatever the residents need." Mikkelson said.
THE ABILITY TO handle stress and to manage time well also are important.
She said the office of residential programs had received about 118 new applications that met the office's qualifications. This number was pared down this week to about 100 after preliminary interviews by the office of residential programs.
First-year assistants next year will receive a single room and board and a 10-month stipend of $825. Mikkelsen said, "I will be the resident assistants this year receive $750."
Resident assistants will be chosen by March 20.
For those selected, the time spent being an assistant brings mixed results.
Hudson, in her second year as an assistant, said being an assistant was a time-consuming but self-satisfying job.
Besides her regular duties as an assistant, she said, she has stepped in to resolve roommate disputes, dispensed advice about problems with boyfriends or girlfriends, referred students to counseling centers and helped with health problems.
"I WOULD RECOMMEND this job to you.
I feel like the time I am spending is well worth it."
I'm pleased.
But along with the job comes frequent stress.
Luane Young, Derby senior and an assistant in Lewis for 1/2 years, said she enjoyed working with the residents and helping with their personal development, but found little time left for her own development.
"I't hard to have a personal life and be a R.A." Young said. "During my junior year I thought, 'There's more to life than being responsible for 75 people.'"
Young said she had observed that many of the assistants put too much of themselves on the job.
Some assistants buckle under the pressure of being viewed as a role model, Young said. Many assistants find they cannot be them, but those assistants are always looking up to them, she said.
