Prevention, remedies topics of rape rally
ry ELLEN IWAMOTO
Staff Reporter
Friday was a beautiful day for talking about a not-so-beautiful tonic—rave.
Seven area women's organizations sponsored a rally against rape during the sunny afternoon on the lawn between Dyche Hall and the Kansas Union.
About 50 people listened as speakers suggested ways to prevent rapes, helps its victims recover from trauma and
"An Landers says that all a woman has to do is cross her legs if she doesn't want to be touched," Ms. Lamar said.
One of the myths about rape is that if a woman does not want to be raped she can't be, Jana Svoboda, one of the rally organizers, said.
Nancy Harper, a member of the Oread
magazine staff, spoke about the
sophistication of the magazine's offerings.
MOST RAPES occur indoors and more than half of those are in people's homes, she said. The program aids victims of rape and burglary by buying and replacing locks on doors. The program also offers advice on self-dense and making homes more secure.
Mary Stabb, a member of the Douglass County Rape Victim Support Services, uses her online resources.
"You have to decide how much resistance you want to put up," she said. "Be prepared, be careful and enjoy your lives. Don't let these people ruin it."
"Prevent rape by reporting it," she said. "If you don't report it, you're contending it. If you do report it, it's a danger that follows a rape was a stumbling block for women. It is part of women's rights."
"BE AWARE of your anger and mobilize it," she said. "Talk about it. Actively work to prevent rape. Work with other rape victims."
Stabb said that her organization had just
begun taking its programs to high schools. The organization should go there, she said, because 40 percent of all rape victims are under age 17.
Svoboda said that she thought a rally on campus this spring was important because people thought the campus was set apart and were safe from crimes such as rape.
Svoboda also said that changes needed to be made in the legal system, especially in relation to the new legislation.
ONE PERSON in the crowd described the method of prosecuting rapists as "incredible." The rape victim becomes the victim of the judicial process, he said.
Svoboda said she was glad to see several men attend the rally.
"They need to understand that rape isn't on," she said. "Women don't want it. They need it."
Men cannot understand what women are going through, she said. They need to learn to deal with rape themselves and to know that men whose wives or girlfriends if they are victims.
One man at the rally said that the more people knew about rage, the more open- minded he was.
"We have a lot to learn about rape" he said.
Another man said that prevention should be emphasized.
"YOU CAN'T change anything after the fact. Something has to be done before it happens," he said. "Things are going to become only after people start talking about it."
Janice Fuller, Waterloo, Iowa, graduate student, said she thought the rally was a good idea because it emphasized that anyone could be raped.
Betty Banks, assistant professor of classics, said, "It's a fact of life and by not dealing with it, the problem will continue to increase and get worse."
Steve McCoy, Fairway sophomore and Vice president of the club, said four groups would perform at the benefit. Fast Break, Used Parts, Murphy's Law, and Cowboy X.

Art in the Park had something for everyone yesterday as local artists displayed and sold their handwork in the park.
Art in the Park's variety a hit
"It's been partly due to the weather we've had," he said. "And part of it is because everyone was pretty upset after the accident."

Chris Curtis will join his friends to borrow night for a benefit concert in his home.
Benefit to honor crash victim
McCoy said most of the money would go to Curtis.
Ruth Dickey, a St. Louis senior who displayed me pottery, also called the afternoon a success.
I think this is one of the best shows in the state. People here really back this show. It gets bigger and bigger.
"I'm going to have to go home and paint like crazy," she said. "It's been exceptionally good today."
"It's been excellent so far," she said. "The wind is
sweaty, but there have been quite a few people in
this park."
He also said Curtis, who has 15 hours remaining to graduate, was planning to return to KU next fall. Curtis is majoring in engineering and physics.
puppet show in the recreation center. Fifty children sat cross-legged and wide-eyed in front of the stage during the event.
THE PUPPET SETT,"Rumpeltittalinken," was presented by a group of Baker University students under the direction of a fellow student, Sandy Osborne. Osborne said she had prepared the show for an independent studies course in drama at Baker, and the puppeteers were volunteers.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the 80-degree weather, either lounging beneath the trees or soaking up the sun. Picnics from home, hotdogs and hamburgers from the Jaycees' stand and lemonade and cookies from the Lawrence Community Nurseries Inc., added to the festive atmosphere.
As one artist from Eudora, Becky Albertenbend, said, "I think this is a memory-building time, where families can look back at this afternoon and say, 'Remember when...' "
About 120 artists displayed a wide variety of works, including watercolors, acrylic and oil paintings, pen and ink drawings, prints, photography, pottery, stained glass, pewter, woodcarvings, macrame, warp and bask.
KAREN GOULD, one of the show's organizers, said she thought the crowd had exceeded last year's estimated attendance.
From the gazeze of the City Union Band played for an hour and then the KY Symphonic Band took over. The KU Jazz Ensemble revived up for the third hour of music and played in Rocky Country and Western band closed out the afternoon.
Artists lined up their work along the sidewalks leading to the gazebo on the east side of the park. And while the crowd browsed and bought treats for their eyes, several musical groups entertained their ears.
Curtis will remain in the rehabilitation unit of the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Although most people came to see the artwork, many of the younger children showed more appreciation for the
