feminine instructor has found a new student
There is nothing novel about new students—they pop up every semester in Karatan's fencing class. But their latest pupil joins the class to get jets to cross fells with actor Ryan O'Neal.
Karatun received a phone call one evening from a Warner Brothers official, who asked if he would teach Ryan O'Neal to fence.
Karatum was told that Ryan O'Neal was in charge of Karatum. Karatum then acknowledged responsibility.
O'Neal's next movie is scheduled for March and will be shot in London. In that movie he will play an 18th century Irish boy who travels from Ireland to England, fighting his way across a good part of the territory.
Warner Brothers chose Karatan an O'Neal's fencing instructor for several reasons. He has 20 years of fencing and coaching experience, has studied the fencing styles of the 18th century and is the only international fencing master in this area.
"I HAVE to prepare him as a fencer in the 18th Century," Karatun said. "I'm teaching him old techniques as well as new ones, such as flipping the opponent's foil into the air. This is not allowed now. He has to use both a foil and a sabre."
"He is learning very quickly," Karan said. "He is one of my best students."
Karatum said that in three weeks O'Neal had learned what normally would be learned in class during a five- or six-week period.
"Of course, private instruction makes a little difference." he said.
"THEERE are two parts to fencing—mechanical and artistic. The artistic part he picked up quickly. I just show him and he says, 'I'm a hard worker. He never says, 'I'm tired.'"
Karatun said he would continue teaching O'Neal until March. Karatun spent two weekends in Hays instructing O'Neal. O'Neal is now on location in St. Joseph Mo.
where he will get weekend lessons and an occasional night-week session. He is currently filming a new movie, "Paper Moon." in the Kansas-Missouri area.
Karatum said he had not been influenced by the movie world and had turned down an offer to work as a fencing instructor for other actors.
"My first goal is to get a Ph.D, in exercise physiology," Karatum said.
This was the reason he left his native Turkey 15 months ago.
"I WANT TO concentrate on cardio-rehabilitation," Karatum said. "I want to help the poor people in cardio-rehabilitation in this area. That will please me more than
Karatan said, however, that he would never give up fencing.
"It's just like a disease," he said. "You can not leave it. It is difficult to learn, but once you learn it you can not get pleasure out of any other sport."
"It is one of the best sports for improvement and quick decision. It has a certain sportsmanship and courtesies which has been lost in other sports."
Karatum became an international master in 1958 in England. This qualifies him to be a professional fencing coach in any country. He also served as the director for European and World Championships.
"FENCING It a very popular sport in all of Europe," he said. "A fencing master makes more money than a soccer or football coach in Europe."
Karatun said fencing was becoming popular in the United States.
The University of Kansas offers a fencing course in elementary foll and also sponsors a fencing club. Karatum said that he hoped the course offers fencing course would be offered next year.
It was an honor for both himself and the KU physical education department, nurtured said, that he was selected among curriculum teachers to coach Ryan O'Neal.
"I'm really proud of this department," he said. "I'm proud to be giving something back."
Karatun was positive that he and O'Neal would meet their March deadline.
"He's a good student," Karatum said. "He's going to be a very good fencer. I will prove it to you when you see his next movie."
State Raises Travel Rate; Budget Static
The state has raised the daily travel rate paid to persons making trips for the University without providing more funds to cover the increase, according to Tom Greese, assistant to the vice chancellor for business affairs.
In past years faculty and staff members were given $24 a day for food and lodging while traveling outside the state. Reimbursement was duly awarded 1 yr for all employees of the state government.
As a result of this change, the University had to increase the amount paid from $24 to $32, although there have been no budget increases to cover the raise. he said.
The University budget provides $2,623 a year to pay faculty and staff expenses for the following purposes:
The business affairs office takes care of the bookkeeping for all trips and schedules the use of state cars which can be used for the trips, he said. If a state car is used, the company provides a credit card for the gas and other car expenses on the trip, Greason said.
Travel costs are paid and approved by each department from the state funds given them by the University, Gleason said. The rate of reimbursement for in-state travel is a day, he said. Most trips in the state last less than three days, so there are no hotel or motel expenses.
If the person making the trip prefers to make the trip in his own car, the University is authorized to pay nine cents a mile up to the cost of coach air fare. Greeson said the person usually would claim the cost of the air fare rather than the mileage rate.
In certain cases the cost of the air fare is charged to the University by Maupintour Travel Service. Then the traveler does not have to pay the cost of air fare.
The money the state gives the University for travel does not cover all the expenses of trips. Grieson said. In some cases, the University offers a grant to cover the cost of a trip, he said.
When the person returns from his trip he may submit his expenses in a voucher. Receipts are required for expenses not received and only rate of reimbursement, Greason said.

KU Group to Help Victims of Rape
Kansan Staff Writer
A woman who has been raped can get assistance from the Woman's Coalition Rape Squad, according to Pat Henry, a senior senior and coordinator of the organization.
By JEANNETTE HARTMAN
According to Henry, a woman would receive one of two kinds of counseling. If the rape is recent she will be given a counselor who can give her immediate emergency support.
If the rape occurred long ago, but is still bothering the woman, she will be given a first chance at justice.
By calling Headquarters or the Information Center, a woman who has been rape-victim and rape-victim counselors, Henry said recently. She explained that each counselor has had a two- or three-hour training in medical, medic and emotional aspects of rape.
THE RAPE SQUAD advises all recent rape victims to see *u* doctor immediately, Henry said. If she wishes to prosecute, she must have a doctor's verification that there was 60 per cent motile sperm in her vagina. You should not wish to prosecute, she should be examineed for venereal disease, pregnancy and internal damage, Henry said.
Legally, Henry said, the process of reporting the rape, being questioned,
ACCORDING TO HENRY, a woman can legally only be questioned by one policeman and one detective. But sometimes, she said, a rape victim will be questioned so extensively that unless she already has seen a woman with a rape weapon, she can have an 80 per cent sperm count in her vagina.
If a woman wishes to report a rape, a rave-victim counselor will give her support and advice through the legal process, Henry said. She said that frequently a woman was subjected to repeated questioning, which sometimes involved irrelevant questions about sexual activity or the act what she did to invite the rape, because police did not believe her story.
identifying a man in a line-up and going to court can be more grueling than the rape
Since January, Henry said, there have been 17 reported cases of rape. Of the 17, she said, 16 cases had been closed. She said this was an important step in resolving, dropped or settled out of court.
Dr. Raymond Schlegler Jr., director of student health services, said that Watkins Hospital also treated rape victims. He said he didn't have specific figures at hand, but he thought Watkins handled about 6 to 12 rape cases in the course of a year.
The group has not handled a case of rape since its establishment two months ago, HIMSA said.
first check a woman's medical history, then examine her for cuts and bruises and give her a complete pelvic examination to check for swelling in morns and possible injury. Schweger said.
If necessary, arrangements are made for the morning-after-pill, be said. The woman is treated for venereal disease and, if possible, put in the hospital to give her security. The mental health unit is also available if needed, be said.
THE POLICY AT Watkins Hospital is to
Saturday and Sunday. There will be no cover charge.
Although the legalities are left up to the individual, Schwegler said that if the woman desired to prosecute the doctor she had been arrested, she was told to Watkins immediately after the rape, there is a 100 per cent chance of proving there was a high living sperm content in her urine.
REGARDING RAPE victims, Henry disagreed that Watkins Hospital provided essentially the same services as the Rape Squad. She said that how the examination went depended entirely on which doctor was on call when treatment was needed.
Food service will be supplied by the Kansas Union. Suggestions for food items for the menu will be accepted, according to quality of food, food sophomore and cfehouse manager.
Henry said that a doctor would not accompany the woman to the police station or give her emotional support if she had to identify a man in a line-up or at court.
In the area of prevention, Henry said, the Rape Squad intended to speak to women's living groups about the problems of rape and possible defenses.
Atwater said he hoped that live entertainment would feature primarily student talent. An "open stage" time is planned in which participants may have jam sessions or whatever they want. Art work displays are also planned, he said.
AURH will give a $25 gift certificate for use at the Kansas Union Bookstore to the person who suggests the best name for the new coffeehouse. A Coffeehouse Coordinating Committee will decide upon and announce the winner at the coffeehouse opening, Atwater said. The deadline for entries is Saturday.
