Lawrence man arrested in rape of KU student
A 21-year-old KU student reported that she had been raped early Saturday, Lawrence police reported.
She was treated at Lawrence Memorial Hospital and released, police said.
A 35-year-old Lawrence man was arrested about 4:30 a.m. Saturday at his home. The suspect appeared in the Douglas County District Court yesterday for a bond hearing and is being held in the Douglas County Jail in lieu of bond.
The student told police the man raped her while she was asleep at a residence in the 1300 block of Tennessee Street, where she had attended a party earlier. She said several other people had decided to sleep at the residence that night after the party.
According to police, two other people at the residence awoke during the attack about 3:30 a.m. The two identified the suspect for the police.
Injured KU student has second surgery
John T. Hinshaw, Hutchinson junior, whose arm was reattached after a weekend accident, underwent a second surgery at the University of Kansas Medical Center yesterday.
A Med Center spokeswoman, Nancy Miller, said yesterday that Hinshaw was in serious condition after undergoing the second operation. Surgeons removed dead skin from the left forearm they attached in a 12-hour operation Saturday.
Hinshaw's forearm was severed when his motorcycle struck a car about 2:30 p.m. Saturday at 15th and Westbrooke streets after a KU officer briefly chased him and another motorcyclist who were apparently racing, according to police reports.
The other motorcyclist, who left the scene, was identified late yesterday but was neither arrested nor charged. The case has been referred to the municipal court, according to the KU police.

Fraternity on probation for not paying dues
By JULIE McMAHON Staff writer
The national organization of Alpha Kappa Psi, a professional business fraternity, has suspended the operations of its KU chapter and put the chapter on probation for failure to pav dues.
In 1920, the national fraternity gave the KU chapter permission to use its name and its rules in exchange for dues, but KU's chapter hasn't paid in three semesters, said Kenneth Hastey, central regional director of Alpha Kappa Psi in St. Louis.
The fraternity is not registered at KU this year, and the last year that Alpha Kappa Psi was registered was '85-86. In the '86-87 school year, the KU Organizations and Activities Center did not recognize the fraternity because it turned in an incomplete resume. It was also because the faculty adviser that Alpha Kappa Psi listed on the form was not a member of the faculty.
The last official faculty adviser was Jerry Lewis, assistant professor of business. Lewis said that in 1982 he was approached by students in Alpha Kappa Psi who asked him to be their
sponsor. They told him he wouldn't have to do anything because they didn't have many activities, but they were a great fit and he be registered with the University.
"I was just a figurehead," Lewis said. "I didn't pay any bills or have any meetings."
In 1985 he was approached by students again. This time they said they would like to become more active and Lewis agreed to help, but he said he never heard from the students again.
But the suspension may be only temporary. Hastey said he would try
to reorganize the group.
"We will have a meeting in a couple of weeks in Lawrence and We will be there," Hastey said. "We'll go up there where we are interested in shaping up."
Hastey will announce the meeting in an advertisement this week in the University Dally Kansan. He said the evening would be October 24th or 25th.
Hastey said he put an advertisement in the Kansan last week to announce the suspension because the party was unaware of the fraternity. He said he couldn't
find the fraternity listed with the University. Also, there hadn't been a faculty adviser or a district director for a year, he said.
John Tollefson, dean of business,
said the suspension came to his attention earlier this week. He said
he had been trying to track down former chapter members, but with no success.
The fraternity had been inactive for many years, Tollesfon said, but was revived three years ago and was active until this semester. The last semester the KU chapter paid national dues was the spring of 1986.

New police chief is a terrorism expert
By VALOREE ARMSTRONG Staff writer
Ron Olin, the newly appointed Lawrence police chief, is also an expert on international terrorism who uses his expertise to educate KU students.
Olin has lectured at the University of Kansas for seven years in the departments of sociology, human anthropology, anthropology and psychology.
This semester, Olin is lending his expertise to a psychology class called Violence, Aggression and Terrorism in the Modern World. The class is taught by Maynard Shelly, professor of psychology, and Felix Moos, professor of anthropology.
When Olin takes over as chief of police Dec. 1, his duties are certain to be even more time-consuming than in the position of assistant chief of police. But he hoped his promotion wouldn't affect the time he spent on campus.
Olin, who received his doctorate in developmental psychology from KU, has been a courtesy assistant professor of human development at the University since 1983. He said he would soon hold that capacity in the psychology department, too, because of his work with the terrorism class.
Shelly said that Olin's expertise was invaluable. Although Shelly and
Moos taught students the theoretical aspects of terrorism and its emergence, Shelly said Olin added much to students' understanding of specific acts of terrorism. Shelly also an expert in international terrorism.
"He has all this stuff at his fingertips," Shelly said.
Olin attended a police academy in Germany. Also, Shelly said, Olin had talked with terrorism experts in Germany, France and England.
"Ron gives lectures on specifies like the Munich Massacre," Shelly says. "All the Olympic athletes by Palestinian terrorists. And Shelly said when students asked questions, Olin could clarify information using his own knowledge, rather than consulting reference material.
Olin said he d'lectured at five of the terrorism classes this semester and had tried to sit in on as many of the classes as he could.
He said that because he'd been on the graduate faculty at Wichita State University before returning to college, lecturing at KU was a logical step.
"I've always been active as a speaker," Olin said. "It's nice to have interaction with students."
Students said Olin was a refreshing addition to the class.
Student found dead in garage
By a Kansan reporter
Ronald L. Van Eeckhoute, St. Louis, Mo., junior, was found dead yesterday morning in a garage where a car was left running, Lawrence police reported.
According to police, Van Eckhoute, 3320-A W. Eighth St., was found by a neighbor, Larry Bouza, 3320-B W. Eighth St.
Bouza, Lawrence graduate student, told police that he was walking toward his car to go to work about 6 a.m. when he heard the car running and smelled the exhaust fumes. Bouza then notified Van Eeckhoute's roommates, and they found him lying on the garage floor.
Jeff White, St. Louis, Mo., junior and one of Van Eeckhoute's roommates, said he and Bouza attempted to resuscitate Van Eeckhoute with cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Another roommate, Dong Pancoast, Omaha, Neb., sophomore, called police.
Van Eeckhoute was transported to Lawrence Memorial Hospital by the Douglas County Ambulance Service, where he was pronounced dead. We are still investigating the incident, which they call an apparent suicide.
White said he did not know what may have prompted the incident. He said he was not aware whether Van Eeckhoute may have been under any extraordinary pressure before his death.
Van Eeckhoute's death came at a shock to White who had been a friend of his.
White said that becoming an architect was very important to Van Eeckhoute. Van Eeckhoute was a student in the school of architecture.
White described Van Eeckhoute as free-spirited and outgoing. He said he enjoyed music, especially Pink Floyd.
"We wanted to go into architecture even when we were juniors or seniors in high school together," said White, who is an architecture major.
White said funeral arrangements had not been made for Van Eeckhoute but said they would be completed sometime today.
U.S. needs to learn about other cultures, Carlin says
Staff writer
By VIRGINIA McGRATH
The United States will not survive in the economy of tomorrow unless it becomes more knowledgeable about foreign cultures, former Gov. John F. Kennedy.
And education is one place to start that process, he said.
"If you think it's tough today, five years from now it's going to be even more difficult," Carlin told about 30 law students in a speech sponsored by the professional law fraternity, Phi Alpha Delta.
"I want to preach crisis, and I don't think I'm exaggerating very much to express it in crisis terms." he said.
"Our capacity to deal with countries around the world is very limited, particularly when we compare ourselves with our competitors." Carlin said. He said that comparison included Kansas.
"As a state, we need to be more sensitive to the fact that the world is shrinking." Carlin said. "But that shrinking world is one we must not only live in, but find a way to have an economy that is effective."
The United States often works at a disadvantage when it comes to doing business with other countries because of language and culture barriers, Carlin said.
"When we try to broaden our market, we’re heavily dependent on someone to translate, to get our message across.
"I can assure you from my experience, that's a handicap. A serious one," he said.
Carlin gave an example. About 10 years ago he gave a speech to a group of Hispanic senior citizens in Topeka.
His translator was not fluent in Spanish, and instead of introducing him as speaker of the house, she used his name to him as "blabbermouth of the house."
Carlin said language wasn't the only barrier. He said the United States also needed to better understand each other's cultures and cultures around the world.
"They don't do business the way we do. They don't close a deal with someone they've just met that morning."
For example, Japanese corporations are run differently than U.S. corporations. That's important to the Japanese business with the Japanese, he said.
Carlin said that although he had no easy answers for how to make education more alert to foreign cultures, he had some suggestions.
He said high school class periods could be cut from 55 minutes to 45 minutes, or just a half-class period. A language, for example, could be taught during that time.
