THE NATIONAL COLLEGE NEWSPAF L Rape victim remembers real-life nightmare HE NATIONAL COLLEGE NEWSPAPER TOP 20 College Basketball Coach K and Duke crew tougt r but can they hold off the pack By Rita Cosby The Gamecock U. of South Carolina "Your worst fears can come true," said a 26-year-old U. of South Carolina (USC) student who was anally raped in her apartment last summer. Weeks prior to the rape, hang-up phone calls occurred and her apart- ment was robbed of some old clothes. Then on the first day of summer school, a 15-minute nightmare began. When her roommate left home at 10 p.m., he left the front door open as he expected to return shortly and the area was considered "generally safe." When she heard footsteps outside her bedroom door, her first reaction was to pick up the phone and loudly say, "Oh, great, so you're coming right over!" Then she checked the entire apart- ment, and since it looked empty, she closed and locked the front door. "What I evidently had done was lock my assailant inside." She began dozing off when her bed- room door swung open and a dark, hunching silhouette appeared at the foot of her bed. "It's so weird, you always think what are you going to do if you find someone walking into your house. Scream probably? "I didn't. It wasn't scream reaction at all. I knew. . . here it is, I've got to deal with it," she said. She assumed it was a robber and said, "Just get out of here right now." He reacted calmly and said, "Okay, just do what I say. Lay down on your stomach." She attempted to act normal as he asked her for her money, which she quickly gave him. "'Just take the money and go' was my thinking." She was then ordered to remain on her stomach and never to look at him. She saw movement behind her: either him taking his shirt off or tying a piece of cloth around his face. "That was the first moment I had any aggressive feelings. I really knew then he was going to rape me. That's what he's truly here for," she said. She struggled and he slapped her and pushed her head down to the bed. "I don't want to hurt you. Just do what I say," he said. "I just pulled deep inside myself and tried to maintain my sanity." To facilitate lubrication, the assailant demanded oral sex from her. He then penetrated her anally. "The whole time he never seemed sexually excited. And as soon as I re- laxed and he saw no resistance, he stopped." When the rapist left her bedroom, she darted to her neighbors where she contacted the authorities. After dealing with police, whom she described as "mediocre," the victim was taken to the hospital for gonor- rhea and syphilis tests. Her body was pumped with antibiotic, and both anal and cervical cultures were taken. "I was crying and very emotional for several weeks. And everyone close to me was sick or having nightmares. This guy raped me for 15 minutes, and suddenly 20 people's lives are des- troyed for a long time." The key to recovery, she believes, is to separate yourself from the crime. "When somebody is invading your body and stripping you of every sense of security, you've got to shrink down into yourself and say 'you can't get in here. You can rape me, but you can't get into the center of me.'" 1. DUKE 2. GEORGETOWN 3. NORTH CAROLINA 4. OKLAHOMA 5. MICHIGAN 6. UNLV 7. LOUISVILLE 8. ILLINOIS 15. MISSOURI 9. SYRACUSE 16. GEORGIA 10.

This poll is a pre- season look at who will be the best of this year's college basketball crop. Duke, with a lineup highlighted by preseason All-American Danny Ferry, is the pick to outman some stiff com- petition this season.

NCAA violations: Same problems, different school a a 'Sue the school' becomes trend at many colleges By Felicia Hwang The Dartmouth Dartmouth College, NH College-directed lawsuits have become a trend today among col- lege students and faculty mem- bers who feel their rights have been violated. Cases like the Re- view suit against the college are not exclusive to Dartmouth. In March 1987, a racial con- frontation at Columbia U., N.Y., resulted in the suspension of Drew Krauss, a white student. He later sued the university, saying he was discriminated against be- cause he was white - he was the only student to receive disciplin- ary action. In January 1988, a federal court jury found in favor of Krauss. Although U.S. District Court Judge Vincent Broderick disagreed with the verdict, here- fused to overturn thedecision due to sufficient evidence. The final settlement was made privately between the two parties. Harvard U., Mass., is still wait- ing for a decision on suits filed in 1981 and 1983 by former Busi- ness School Associate Professor Barbara Bund Jackson, who is suing the university for tenure and $847,000 in back wages, claiming she was not evaluated based on her academic record when she was considered for te- nure. James Lee at Duke U., N.H., used the tools he learned to sue his school. Lee, a law student, filed two suits against a campus policeman, his supervisor, the university and its president, claiming his fourth and fifth amendment rights had been violated because the officer had stopped him. After months of leg- al battle, the case was settled out of court in a private agreement. Students 'bullish' on political market Volatile stock prices track presidential candidates' popularity By Deborah Gluba and Mary Brill The Daily Iowan U. of Iowa U. of Iowa (UI) students and faculty who want to turn a profit on the Novem- ber presidential election are investing in the UI Presidential Stock Market (PSM). For an initial investment of $35, stockholders received 40 shares of the fictitious stock. They were issued 10 shares each of Bush, Dukakis and Jack- son (PSM opened in June). They also received 10 shares for third-party candidates and potential newcomers. "Every cent will be returned to the participants, but some will lose and others will gain," said George Neumann, UI economics chair and mar- ket co-director. The market was designed to imitate the New York Stock Exchange, with two exceptions: Investors may not sell shares they don't yet own, and they can't purchase shares when they don't have enough cash. The stock exchange provides a fun and realistic approach to election fore- casting, according to UI economics Associate Professor Forrest Nelson. Nelson, a project co-founder, said the PSM is the first such presidential elec- There has been a lot of activity with the Jackson stock, Nelson said. "It's a low-price stock and it's an easy stock to play with. It makes Jackson a ripe candidate for speculation, and recent behavior is typical of a speculative bubble." Nelson said the number of stock hol- ders tripled when students returned to school, putting Bush ahead of Dukakis, who had been leading until then. He said payoffs will be made Nov. 9 when traders cash in their stock at a rate of $2.50 per share multiplied by the popular vote percentage each candidate receives nationwide. For example, if Dukakis captures 50 percent of the popular vote, his stock will pay $1.25. The stock market, Nelson explained, is an educational tool. A one-credit course is being offered through the eco- nomics department this fall to study the market. Only a handful of students were expected to show interest but 60 showed up instead, he said. UI political science professor Jack Wright, a member of the stock market's board of directors, said the stock market was a better indicator of voter prefer- ence than public opinion polls. "The market should give a better in- dication of who is going to win because it is more than just a preference poll," he said. Forest Nelson tion forecaster and may lend insight to how current events affect voters. "We are capturing attitudes about not who a trader wants to win, but rather who he thinks will win," he said. The market determines stock prices. When trading began, a share of Duka- kis stock sold for $1.29 while Bush stock went for $1.24 a share. Nelson said stock prices seem to re- flect current events and the market fluctuates according to a candidate's popularity. He said the market is super- ior to polls because it runs all the time and provides instantaneous results. Sherrill has a point about NCAA rules By Hal L. Hammons The Battalion Texas A&M U. Watching Jackie Sherrill sweat under the heat of television lights and the all-seeing eyes of millions, I felt a strange sympathy for him. Not for his wrongdoings, of course. He has violated NCAA codes of ethics and conduct - by neglect if not by actual commission. And by violating these rules, he should be punished. But I found myself mentally assent- ing to many of Sherrill's explanations. Yes, he was guilty, but some of the rules are asinine. Sherrill admitted to not reporting an illegal contact with an unnamed high school recruit who was supposedly con- sidering attending Texas A&M. What the illegal contact consisted of, Sherrill said, was accidentally bumping into him while visiting the recruit's high school. Agreed, that is Sherrill's statement of the facts. But I think it's understand- able, if not forgivable, that Sherrill could consider that incident unworthy of reporting. And, of course, there were the usual allegations of illicit contact between zealous fans and hot prospects. If you haven't figured it out yet, this matter about alumni is just about out of hand. The story is one with which any fan - of Southwest Conference football, particularly - is all too aware. Some big wheel who was unable to extend his support to good ol'State U. in a participatory way decides he'll make up for it by attracting Joe Jock from City High to do it for him. We saw it at Southern Methodist. We saw it at Clemson. We saw it at Florida. And no doubt we will see it again. If Mobley is serious about putting the emphasis on playing the game on moral grounds, the request will have to be answered in some measure. In the meantime, however, there's no- thing wrong with researching the mat- ter further to find some way to provide some flexibility to the system while maintaining its integrity. From riches to rags?... After a five-hour meeting with the NCAA Infractions Committee, U. of Kansas (KU) Athletic Director Bob Frederick had hoped KU's basketball program would emerge with minimal damage. Aside from Freder- ick and three other university officials, the meeting saw the reappearance of some familiar faces from KU's national championship team of a year ago. Former head coach Larry Brown and assistants Alvin Gentry and Ed Manning, all with the National Basketball Association's San Antonio Spurs came to the meeting on their own accord."I'm glad I got the opportunity to come," Brown said. "Because all of the sudden I'm not with the program and it's kind of a difficult feeling because I don't want to leave anybody in a lerch." Gentry, who briefly left the meeting, said, "The heat lamp is turned on.' After the meeting, Gentry said that former Memphis State U. guard Vincent Askew was involved in "90 percent" of the allegations. Askew transferred to KU during the summer of 1986, but returned to Memphis St. after the summer semester. Some of the allegations are rumored to involve boosters not staffed by the university, including former KU play- er Mike Marshall, Gentry said. Marshall played for the Jayhawks during the 1983-84 season and then transferred to McNeese St. U., La. Gentry said, "I think it was a situation where people (and) where certain things, might have occurred where they thought they were helping the university."

But in the Latin Kings, new members had to "walk the line." This meant Crazy had to walk slowly between two lines of gang members while they beat him, each kicking and punching him several times. "No matter what, you got to make it through the line standing up to prove you're not going to give up in a real fight," Jorge said. The reason guys join gangs in spite of the violence of gang life is mostly be- cause of peer pressure and protection, Jorge said. "You want to belong to something ... It's also for protection," he said. Jorge explained that he didn't have to go through initiation because he was called in to be main back-up when fights took place. "Whenever they needed help to fight, I was there to kick ass," he said. "I was terror back home - main back-up is serious fighting. I never killed anyone knowingly, though, and didn't feel bad about beating up guys. It was some- thing we all did." Jorge explained there is a lot of press- ure to fight in a gang. "It's either kill the enemy or be killed," he said. And if members don't uphold their gang, their own members will go after them and hurt them worse. Fights, which usually take place in open fields or abandoned train yards and parks, are mostly over territory or to gain more of it. The gangs often fight until one side is outnumbered or until the police come. "I used to love fighting," Jorge said. "I just wanted to hurt somebody. When you have the aggression you do crazy things. You don't care, there's just a cer- tain kind of aggressive urge." Jorge took school seriously and got good grades. He wanted to further his education and get out of the Illinois area by going to UI, he said. By Jay Blanton " Kentucky Kernel U. of Kentucky, Lexington The NCAA informed the U. of Ken- tucky (UK) July 22 that approximately 10 additional allegations against the basketball program are being prepared, but another allegation of possible wrongdoing concerning UK player Eric Manuel's ACT test may be pending, according to university lawyers. Concern about Manuel's test scores stems from the marked rise in test aver- ages between the guard's two lower scores on the SAT test, taken in his home state of Georgia, and his higher score on the ACT test, which fulfilled Proposition 48 requirements, taken in Kentucky. Sean Sutton, son of UK Coach Eddie Sutton, also took the test with Manuel in Lexington, but denies any cheating took place. Sutton had previously taken the test and passed, but said he took it again to improve his scores. "The reason it was being investigated by the NCAA apparently was that they intended to include it among the allega- uons," UK President David Roselle said. UK began its investigation of the men's basketball program to coincide with an NCAA probe, begun after a Los Angeles newspaper reported that a package sent by UK assistant coach Dwane Casey to the father of Wildcat recruit Chris Mills popped open in transit, revealing $1,000. Both Casey and Mills' family denied the package contained any money. "(The investigation) has hurt our recruiting .. .," Coach Sutton said. "Additionally, and just as importantly, the pride of our entire state has been put to an unjust test."
