Student reports rape
The KU Public Safety Office is investigating a reported rape that occurred between 9 p.m. Thursday and 6:30 a.m. Friday in McCollum Hall, Capt. Schuyler Bailey said. The 18-year-old female KU student made the report about 4 p.m. Friday.
The safety office had not questioned the suspect as of yesterday afternoon, Bailey said. The suspect, who Bailey said the safety office had a partial identification for, was an acquaintance of the female student. The female student and the suspect were at a gathering, which was held in a room in McCollum Hall. Bailey said the rape happened after people left the gathering, and the rape did not occur in the female student's room.
The female student sustained no physical injuries from the rape, and both the female student and the suspect had both been consuming alcohol, Bailey said. Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said he could not comment on the rape because it is still under investigation.
"People are responsible for their own behavior, whether drinking or not." he said.
Stoner said alcohol in residence halls is a direct violation of student housing policies.

Nathan Logan, sports information director, said, from what he understood. Heaggans was assaulted, unprovoked. by an unknown assailant.
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2004
Heaggan, who was arrested for drunk driving Sept. 16, told police that he didn't know who hit him and he did not want to press charges.
KU athletics officials said football coach Mark Mangino was looking further into the club incident.
A staff member of Abe and Jake's Landing called police early Sunday morning after a fight broke out on the dance floor. Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department, said about 300 people were involved in verbal and small physical altercations in the parking lot when Lawrence police arrived at the club, 8 E. Sixth St., shortly after the incident was reported at about 1:15 a.m.
Kansan staff writer Miranda Lenning contributed to this report. Edited by Steve Vockrodt.
Ward said police could not tell if the 300-person altercation in the parking lot was a result of the fight that occurred inside. Police did not immediately know what caused the brawl. Heaggans was dancing when at least one person punched him in the face, and he was then punched several more times by one or more persons. Ward said.
The 300-person crowd broke up as police arrived, Ward said. Greg Heaggans, KU football wide receiver, was listed as the victim of the initial fight inside Abe and Jake's Landing.
Heagans suffered lacerations under his right and left eyes as well as his lower lip. Ward said officers located Heagans in his car in the parking lot.

Holdup at GSP-Corbin
Student's car stolen from parking garage police chase ends with two arrests
BY HENRY C. JACKSON AND ROSS FITCH editor@kansan.com editor@kansan.com STAFF WRITERS
Police took a white male with a shaved head and a white woman with blonde hair into custody after a car chase that spanned from Sixth and Iowa streets to 12th and Indiana streets.
The Lawrence Police Department has two suspects in custody after a KU freshman's car was stolen as she was held at gunpoint in the parking lot adjacent to GSP-Corbin Hall last night.
Police said the incident started at 8:49 p.m., when a KU freshman parked her car in the lower level of the parking lot adjacent to GSP-Corbin.
As she walked away from her car, the male suspect approached her with a gun, demanding she give him her book-bag and the keys to her car, said Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office.
The woman gave the man her keys and bookbag and began to flee.
As the woman left the scene, a gunshot went off as the suspect entered the victim's car, a white sedan. Bailey said the gun was not pointed at the victim, nor was anyone hurt by the gunshot, which residents of Corbin-GSP could hear.
Once she was inside her residence hall, the victim called police.
As she walked away from her car, the male suspect approached her with a gun, demanding she give her bookbag and the keys to her car. The woman gave the man her keys and bookbag and began to flee.
Lawrence police spotted the victim's car near Sixth and Iowa streets, Bailey said, and began to pursue the vehicle through town on a four-minute chase that abruptly ended
near 12th and Indiana streets
With police in pursuit, the white car turned down the wrong side of a median on 12th Street — a dead end — and came to a stop. Police did not say whether the car crashed or just stopped.
At least four police cars came to a
stop behind the car and a handful of officers exited their cars with guns drawn, according to several witnesses, including Dylan Phillips, Lawrence junior, and Adrian Taylor, Wichita junior, who were working at Yello Sub, 624 W. 12th St., nearby.
Phillips and Taylor were not able to see the police pursue the suspects in the car, but police eventually emerged from the hill on 12th Street with a white male about 6 feet tall wearing a tank top and jeans. Phillips and Taylor said.
The suspect appeared agitated, Phillips and Taylor said, until he was put in a police car, when he seemed to be in a more mischievous mood.
As the police car drove away, the male suspect made faces at onlookers and a television crew that had arrived at the scene.

A political history
Bill Lacv is the director of the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics.
Dole director a veteran in presidential politics campaign strategy
BY STEPHANE FARLEY
sfarely@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
White House political director for former President Ronald Reagan and political strategist for former Senator Bob Dole, Bill Lacy began as director of the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics on Sept. 7.
Lacy was the national political director for the GOP in 1984 and California senior consultant in 1988 for then Vice President George H. W.Bush. Lacy was a fellow at the Institute of Politics for the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in 1991. After resigning as chief campaign strategist for Dole's 1996 presidential campaign, Lacy moved to Olathe where he ran Sophie Mae Candy Company with his father. Staff writer Stephanie Farley sat down with Lacy to question him on his political interests, advice and memories of a successful career.
O: Were you involved in politics as a student
A: I was very involved in college and that's one of the reasons I'm so excited about being here at the University. It's kind of like what I've said to other people. I would like to make this into the kind of place that I would've enjoyed
Q: Were you involved in politics as a student at Vanderbilt University?
going to when I was a student at Vanderbilt and didn't have anything like the Dole Institute.
like the Dole insurer.
Q: How would you respond to someone saying their vote does not count in Kansas, a primarily Republican state at this time?
Q: What's your take on voter participation?
A: This is not just directed at students and young people, but across the board,
I think that we, as Americans, do a fairly poor job of getting people involved and we do a poor job at participating in politics. There are too many people who are not voting. I don't think you ever see a situation in this country
A: Governor Kathleen Sebelius. If you are a Democrat and you are balking at getting involved in politics because the Democrats never win, then there's a clear example of a Democrat who won. The ebb and flow of politics in which states are Republican and which states are Democrat is really quite remarkable in our history. I had the opportunity to run the last successful Republican presidential campaign in California, which was 1988. The last three years, the
Democrats have trounced the Republicans in California. Now is that a permanent trend? Probably not. But does it show you clearly that a state can be considered a Republican state for a number of years and then switch over? Yes.
