'Grandma
By VERONICA JONGENELEN Staff Reporter
It may seem unlikely that a 60-year-old grandmother of five could protect herself against a younger, larger, male attacker, but Carolyn Hukle wants to prove that if she can, anyone can.
"Just because I'm a grandmother, don't think I can't. I'm perfectly able to." she said
Hukle, speaking at Lady Stay Alive, a personal safety seminar conducted twice yesterday in the Kansas Union, used Lawrence Police officer Bob Avery as her attacker to prove her point.
Hukle is chairman of the Crime Alert Program in Des Moines, Iowa. The programs yesterday were sponsored by the KU Police Department, the Lawrence Police Department and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation
HUKLE SAID women should fight only when the attacker was not armed. They must decide to fight immediately, and do so as violently as they can, using the element of surprise to help them, she said.
Hulke suggested several techniques to use in case a woman was grabbed from the front and demonstrated them.
Hukle had Avery grab her, then stepped backward, knocked him off balance, grabbed his belt and raised

her knee, stopping short of striking him in the groin.
"If you have to, you can, and you
dont feel well about it," she said.
"if you have it, you can, and you don't feel guilty about it," she said. The gren is not the only vulnerable area of a man's body, she said.
BONES IN THE top of the foot are very vulnerable, and nine pounds of pressure are all that are needed to break one, she said. Slamming a heel down onto the man's foot and holding it firmly against the balance mantle will do it, she said.
Many times, hair is a good thing to grab. Hukle said, demonstrating by grabbing Avery's hair, pulling his shirt off and raising her knee into his face.
"There's going to be blood all over the place, but it won't be yours," she said.
Another technique is one which police often use when handling criminals. Hukle said.
She took hold of Avery's left ring and pinky fingers with her right hand, slid her wrist and elbow over his arm and held the fingers back, brought him to his knees
LATER, HUKLE demonstrated how to trip an attacker.
As Avery grabbed her, Hukle took hold of his right arm, twisted it to the outside, placed her foot in front of his feet and pushed him to the left. Avery hit the floor, sending peals of laughter through the audience.
behind, Hakele, the woman should slam the back of her head into the attackers face, or else swing her fist into his groin.
Knowing how to protect yourself in case of an attack is not enough, Hukle said. Crime prevention is even more important.

One thing a person can do to prevent crime is to keep driving rather than stop when someone needs help along the road. Hukle said.
"THE BEST thing you can do if you see someone else who needs help, and I hate to tell you this, but unless your person's life, don't stop," she said.
"You never, ever, hitchhike. It could be the one most dangerous thing you do in your life."
Hukle spent some time discussing the merits of burglar alarms and chemical sprays.
The sprays are available in different sizes for different purposes, she said. Some fit on key rings or in purses and some clip on belts.
"Hey, it's not going to do any good in your purse. If the guy grabs you, you can't say, 'Wait until I get my stuff out!'" she said.
Hukle is taking her program to other schools in the area, including Manhattan. Her programs are geared to different groups of people; men, women, preschoolers or senior citizens, she said.

Oilman tells of takeover wars
Mesa Petroleum would probably try to overtake a giant oil company if it had the chance, the president of the little company said yesterday.
"The larger the company, the cheaper you can get its assets," said T. Boone Pickens, president and chairman of the board, who founded the company in 1944. "Oil companies must find new oil in the cheapest way possible."
THE BID by Mesa Petroleum of Amarillo, Texas, to gain control of Cities Service — a company 10 times larger than Mesa — created havoc in the oil and gas industry as companies tookover and survive the takeover wars, he said.
It found by exploration costs $15 a barrel, he said, but if Mesa had successfully acquired Cities Service Gas Co., as it tried to do this past spring, Mesa would have acquired oil reserves for $3 a barrel.
Because Mesa is smaller than Cities Service, Mesa had to take on financial partners in order to raise the money it needed to purchase Cities Service's stock.
Pickets spoke to about 150 people in the Satellite Union as part of the School District's campaign.
"Gifts Service knocked off our partners pretty fast," he said. "When they found out and was helping us, they came out and helped them out if they went ahead and helped us."
Despite Meas's failure to gain control of Cities Service, Pickens said, he would still try again if the right opportunity came along.
In addition to takeover wars, Pickens described recent changes in oil and natural gas industries as disastrous.
"IVE NEVER seen a more complete, total collapse as in 1982 for the oil and natural gas business," he said. "I hope we have a cold winter. It would do more for the gas business than we else to clear out some of the old gas."
Although gas-glutted reserves are to blame for the low profits in the petroleum industry, he predicted fuel shortages by 1985.
"When you see the amount of oil drilling drop like it has recently, you can't prevent shortages that will occur in a few years," he said.
Shortages would encourage OPEC to raise its prices, he said, which would raise prices for American producers,
thus increasing profits for oil and gas companies.
By the next presidential nomination, high profits for oil and gas companies will make it look as if they are ripping off the public, he said.
He said the petroleum industry faced a problem different from other industries.
DESPITE THE cyclical nature of the oil and gas business, Pickens said, he opposes stabilizing the market with price controls.
"Although price controls might help for a white, in the long run they would discourage drilling, which will lead to more shortfalls," he said.
"When an oil or gas company starts production, it uses up the assets of its stockholders by taking off oil or gas," he said. "There are a number of oil companies that are liquidating themselves today by not replacing the fuel reserves that they deplete. Oil companies must replace their reserves."
