In the WORLD: CAMPUS KU student reports rape after fraternity party A University of Kansas student was raped April 11 in the 1200 block of Ohio Street, Lawrence police said yesterday. The 18-year-old student was raped at 3 a.m. after going home with a 24-year-old male University student, said Sgt. George Wheeler. Wheeler said the victim had gone to a fraternity party and had consumed alcohol before leaving with the man. Wheeler did not release which fraternity had conducted the party. Wheeler said the victim later sought help at Watkins Health Center, and the staff contacted Lawrence police. The victim then was contacted by police, Wheeler said. He said that the suspect and the victim had been interviewed by police but that the suspect had not been arrested. "Basically, he said it was voluntary and she said it wasn't," Wheeler said. "There's going to be some dispute about it." Lawrence man arrested in attempt to steal dog A Lawrence man was arrested yesterday morning for breaking into a local pet shop and attempting to steal a dog, Lawrence police said. Sgt. George Wheeler said the man, 27, was arrested at 2:10 a.m. near Scales And Tails Exotic Pets, 2201 W. 25th St., after police responded to a burglar alarm. The man did not have the stolen dog, a chocolate-colored miniature male Doberman pinscher, when he was arrested. Wheeler said. "Police know that the dog was taken, but he was not recovered at the scene," Wheeler said. Roy Engeldorf, owner of Scales And Tails, said the dog was found in a back room of the store about 10:30 a.m. "It looks like he tripped the burglar alarm and then panicked and dropped the dog." Engelford said. "We thought the dog had gotten out, but he hadn't." Engelford said the suspect gained entry through the roof of the building. He said the suspect climbed to the roof using a ladder on the side of the building. "He found an air duct and came in through a crawl space," Engelford said. The dog did not have a name and was valued at $500, Engeldorf said. Ronnie Wachter Greek newsletter alters style to lift circulation The greek newsletter GALE is starting to look like a newspaper. The newsletter has expanded its publication from 450 copies to 1,500 copies and now is printed at the Lawrence Journal- world's press instead of at Kinko's Cooples GALE is published each week. Twenty-five to 30 copies of the paper are distributed to each University fraternity and sorority, and 500 copies are sent nationwide to greek life offices, the national and international offices of greek organizations and to anyone else who requests the paper, said Lung Huang, Goodland junior and Interfraternity Council vice president for public relations. Huang oversees the publication of GALF with Karen Isley, Sylvania, Ohio, junior and PANhellenic Association vice president for public relations. "The Greek community wanted a greek newspaper." Huang said. He said GALE, which stands for Greeks Achieving Leadership Excellence, was a good way to keep the greek community up to date on what was happening. "When you have 4,000 people, it's tough to keep everyone on the same page." Huang said. He said GALE was a good place to publish stories about events that were not published in the University Daily Kansan'. published in the University Daily Kansas. He said that readership had increased since GALE had changed its format. Readers take the paper more seriously in its new format. he said. GALE has no advertising, so its entire budget comes out of Greek Programming, Huang said. He said that using the Journal World's press to print 1,500 copies cost $350 per month and was cheaper than having Kinko's print 450 copies. —Carl Kaminski NATION Defendants may question prejudiced jury selection WASHINGTON — White defendants can challenge indictments against them based on alleged discrimination against African Americans in the selection of grand jury members, the Supreme Court said yesterday. The unanimous ruling allows a Louisiana man convicted of murder to try to have the charges thrown out on his claim that African Americans were prevented from serving as grand jury foreman. Murder defendant Terry Campbell, like any other white defendant, has standing to raise an equal-protection challenge to discrimination against African Americans in the selection of his grand jury, Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote for the court. Campbell's lawyer, Dmitro Burns, said that although it already was clear that African-American defendants could raise a challenge that African Americans were unfairly excluded from a grand jury, it had not been certain whether white defendants could assert the same claim. "Now, there's no question about it," he said. In Louisiana, grand jury foremen are chosen by the judge, separate from the random selection of the other 11 grand jurors; therefore, the choice of the foreman affects the makeup of the panel. Tennessee and Virginia — use similar procedures. In federal courts and other states that use grand juries, the foreman is chosen from the grand jury panel. Four other states Ohio, Oklahoma. WORLD Experienced crew crashes in Colombian mountains BOGOTA, Colombia — The route was familiar, the crew was experienced. Why, even after being warned he was off course, did the pilot veer straight into a mountain face? Investigators searched for clues yesterday on a ridge in Bogota's eastern mountain range, pocked with the wreckage of the Ecuador-bound Boeing 727 that crashed Monday, killing 53. Air traffic controllers in Bogota radioed the passenger jet when it failed to turn 90 degrees southward at a radio beacon 2,000 feet from the runway's end. Pilot Jaime Vasconez acknowledged the communication but nonetheless proceeded eastward for two miles, slamming into fog-shrouded El Cable mountain just 150 feet below its 10.170-foot summit. Vasconez and his Ecuadorean crew of 10 flew the Quito-Bogota-Quioto route three times a week, officials said. They knew where the mountains were. So why not turn north or south to avoid the ridge? "That is the very question that we are investigating. What happened?" Col. Julio Alberto Gonzalez, deputy director of the civil aviation authority, told The Associated Press. He refused to speculate about the cause but ruled out weather. Climbing, Flight 422 hit the ridge at about 170 mph at 4:47 p.m., tearing most bodies into small, unidentifiable pieces strewn over a half-mile, along with thousands of pieces of wreckage. Only five corpses were found intact. Rescue workers estimated yesterday they had collected the remains of about 15 people. The Associated Press Library plans improvements, seeks funding By Jeremy M. Doherty idoherty@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The Lawrence Public Library wants to gear up for the 21st century, and it will need more than $700,000 to do it. Last night, the library's long-range planning committee presented its report at the Lawrence City Commission meeting. The committee outlined its new mission and vision statements and called for increased funding for technological and structural modifications during a five-year period beginning in 1999. Bruce Flanders, director of the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St., said the library could provide intellectual and cultural services to the community in the coming years. "By 2002, our community will look to the Lawrence Public Library as a primary and public gateway to the community's resources." Flanders said. To accomplish that goal, the 36-page report requested more money from the city to develop Internet resources, to create a business and career reference service and to expand its fiction collection. Some goals of the report, such as additional employee training and a revision of circulation policies, are slated for completion by mid- 1999, without funding. Other items, such as the creation of a computer lab and an overhaul of the doorways and lighting systems, were marked for work in the next century and carried considerable price tags. Included in the library's report was a request for $38,000 for the technology enhancements and $160,000 to renovate lights in its adult reading room. The library cited 39 prospective improvements in its report. Commissioner Bob Moody questioned Flanders about the requests for funding increases. "It looks like, with the annual and one-time costs, you're looking at a funding increase of $700,000 over the next five years." Moody said. Flanders said that Moody's calculations were accurate. The city commission had not requested the library's report, but Commissioner Erv Hodges said he was pleased to receive it before the city's budget sessions began in June. "I sure appreciate getting it early," he said. "It looks like we've got a month to look at it." Lawrence Mayor Marty Kennady agreed. "Generally, we only get about two days to look at these," he said. Copies of the report are available to the public at the Lawrence Public Library. ET CETERA The University Daily Kansan is the student newspaper of the University of Kansas.
