CRIME
Court date set for August rape case Lawrence man to appear before court in October to schedule hearing
BY GARTH SEARS

Sexual assault has already entered the campus discussion this year, and local resources are fighting to inform the public and help anyone who needs it.
According to a Lawrence Police Department report, a female University of Kansas student fell asleep the night of Aug. 20 in the Delta Chi fraternity house, 1245 West Campus Rd., and then an 18-year-old Lawrence man sexually assaulted her. The suspect was charged with rape and aggravated sexual battery Aug. 23.
The suspect's lawyer did not return calls.
The suspect is out of jail. His next court appearance will be Oct. 12 at 9:30 a.m. to schedule a preliminary hearing, according to Cheryl Wright, assistant to the Douglas County District Attorney.
Mariel Dryton, a sophomore from Leawood, was there the night of the alleged assault. She said there was a party and most people seemed to be having fun, and there weren't indications that anything was wrong.
She said that an arrest made in a fraternity shouldn't represent the fraternity or Greek life poorly in general, because it paints one person's mistakes on the group
they belong to.
"I think it was a bad choice by a single person," she said. "It doesn't reflect the Greek system at all."
The international Delta Chi fraternity is conducting an investigation into its University of Kansas chapter, according to an Aug. 24 statement.
"The Kansas Chapter and its members have continued to fully cooperate with the local authorities in their investigation," Karl Grindel, assistant executive director for Delta Chi, wrote
in an email.
"Since there is currently an ongoing criminal investigation,
Delta Chi will conclude its review once the criminal justice system has taken its course."

GETTING HELP
"I think it was a bad choice by a single person. It doesn't reflect on the Greek system at all."
Eli Underwood, the president of the University's Delta Chi chapter, did not return calls.
According to a recent U.S. Department of Justice study, a quarter of college women will be the victim of rape or attempted rape before they graduate.

The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center has programs designed to help those in need
or information,
advice,
or empowerment.
Kathy Rose- Mockry, program director of the resource center, said one of the key services the center offers
to victims of rape is providing a one-stop connection with counseling, legal, or other kinds of help.
"We can cut through some of the red tape by connecting students," Rose-Mockry said, "instead of them having to go place to place, and having to relive the event again and again."
She said the center doesn't only
help victims of rape or harassment, but also those around them. For example, she pointed out the importance of a victim's friend being knowledgeable, because they are often the place a victim will turn to for help.
The center distributes a handout for such a friend about supporting victims, including information about common reactions a victim might have and phone numbers to call.
The GaDuGi SafeCenter provides 24-hour support for victims of sexual crimes in Douglas County, and an advocate can be paged at any time by calling 785-841-2345.
Rose-Mockry also encouraged those who need it to contact the University's psychological and counseling services for help.
Both GaDuGi and the University's women's resource center promote local events that raise awareness of sexual crimes and promote empowerment.

CLUBS
New judo coach brings stability
BY KELLY MORGAN kmorgan@kansan.com
"The club had three strikes against it and was at risk of being disbanded," said Logan Englert a senior from Topeka and KU Judo Club vice president. "We managed to put it back down to two strikes but we had to make sure that we didn't mess up."
It takes a certain type of person to get beaten up a couple times a week — at least, that's what members of the KU Judo Club say. Three times a week members meet to test their physical and mental toughness by using throws, submissions and pins. Yet less than a year ago the club was facing a different sort of challenge — an administrative challenge.
The KU Judo Club was suffering from the departure of their internationally-renowned head coach, Akitoshi Sogabe. Without a coach, the group lacked stability
"Before we had three to four people teaching," Englert said. "They each would teach us their own theory and it didn't allow us to get better as a group."
Nationals champion had practiced with the club before, obligations for his master's program had prevented him from taking on a leadership position.
"He's always been around," Sam Hosfelt, a senior from Topeka and president of the Judo Club, said. "When he came to practice he and the coach would sit in front of the entire class because they were in equal skill level and status."
Extra free time eventually led Kalami to volunteer for the coaching position. His presence with the club gives members consistency, something they have lacked since the departure of their old coach.
"He's there every single practice," Hosfelt said. "At practices we're able to do the same drills, do actual judo moves and it lets us improve our skills. That's the sort of thing that brings people back."
The club is looking to obtain new members and would like to eventually compete in tournaments
"Judo is a tough sport. But we have a whole mixture of people of different sizes and athletic ability."
The club received a much needed boost this semester by appointing Hossein Kalami, a graduate student from Norman, Okla., as its new coach. While the Judo Grand

ODD NEWS
pet goat killed in drive-by shooting
The shooting happened Sunday evening and killed Maria, a Nigerian dwarf goat who lived with two other goats and other animals at the home in a central-Santa Fe community. Someone in a blue-green minivan drove up to the fenced yard where the goats are kept and fired three shots from a small-caliber pistol, hitting the animal once in the abdomen and once through a nasal passage.
Maria's owners, one of whom is an emergency medical technician, tried for more than an hour to care for the dying goat.
SANTA FE, N.M. — Police in Santa Fe are searching for the suspect or suspects in a drive-by shooting that killed a pet goat.
"The fact that this was a goat
getting killed is bad enough," Santa Fe Police Chief Aric Wheeler said, "But this is also a drive-by shooting of a home in the middle of the city. That's a major concern for us."
Wheeler told the Santa Fe New Mexican that the suspect could face felony charges of animal cruelty, shooting at an occupied building and negligent firearm use.
The goat was one of three owned by two women who live in the home. They also have 12 chickens,four cats,a dog and a duck, most of them rescue animals.
The owners, who didn't want to be identified, and neighbors said the goats were a local fixture that drew adults and children alike to the yard.
