Q It could by Susan Janzen Rape- A violent, vicious crime, a build up of insecurities, A deep psychological problem. An endless emotional wound, a serious act that can prelude death. A problem at Fort Hays State! A sexual assault survey was conducted in November by Rose Arnhold, assistant professor of sociology, and Kathy Ward, Russell senior to assess student perceptions in the area of sexual assault. 1 ’ Taken from a random sampling of 500 men and 500 women students, the results indicated four per cent of the female respondents had been victims of a sex- ual assault. Eighteen per cent said they had been victims of an attempted sexual assault; however, the survey conveyed a Jack of concern and awareness about sexual assault from FHS students. Over 70 per cent of those who took the survey did not know it had become a problem. I never thought it would happen to me, so I never took the time to listen or learn like I should have,” said a fall semester rape victim. The legal definition of rape in Kansas is the act of sex- ual intercourse committed by a man with a woman not his wife, and without her consent, when committed under any of the following circumstances: 1) when a woman s resistance is overcome by force or fear; 2) when the woman is uncon- scious or physically powerless to resist; 3) when the woman is incapable of giving her consent because of mental defi- ciency or disease; 4) when the woman s resistance is pre- vented by the effect of any alcoholic liquor, narcotic drug or other substance administered to the woman by the man or another for the purpose of preventing the woman ' s resist- ance, unless the woman voluntarily consumes or allows the administration of the substance with the knowledge of its nature.” (K,SA 21 -3502) Arnhold said, One myth of rape is that nice women are not rape victims and somehow it is her fault 1 It is an aggres- sive crime. Any female can be raped — women of religious orders as welt as prostitutes. They come from all social classes and levels. Reported ages have ranged from two months to 93 years old. But not only women can be raped. There are increasing cases of children and men being raped. Rape is a desire to dominate and an expression of hostil- ity. Rape is a crime of violence, not of lust, noted Dr. Roy Neil, Hays physician. He spoke at a November seminar on sexual assault in the Memorial Union, He explained, If women are led to believe rape is a crime of violence, they wilt not feel guilty and not have emotions of anger and rage if they understand the true meaning of rape as a violent crime, Psychologists and researchers, such as Masters and Johnson, have generally agreed that rape occurs not because the man suffers from abnormal sex drives but from uncontrollable anger which he takes out on society ' s weak- est” victim. The majority of men do not rape because they are sexually aroused at the time. The mere satisfaction of degrading and dehumanizing the female victim in order to enhance his own ego is the rapist ' s strongest intent. Tom Koerner, Hays city commissioner, believes the rapist has deep psychological discrepancies and has to prove his manhood because of his insecurities. 22 Rape
