Saturc/ay A 23-year-old University student was raped in Alton Baker Park Saturday afternoon on a grassy knoll next to the main picnic area The incident took place at 12:30 p m and there were no witnesses, although another woman had noticed the man and warned the student that she was being watched, according to police reports The student, who lives in a University dormi tory, is physically handicapped The attacker, described by police reports as a "transient type" male with a heavy odor of alcohol on his breath, first approached and talked to the woman when she sought shelter from the rain under a covered picnic area When the victim returned to a grassy study spot after the rain ended, the man appeared out of brush along the river and again talked to her before attacking and raping her He left when the woman began screaming Police reports identify the suspect as a white male with blond hair in his mid-20s, 5-feet 10-inches tall and weighing 165 pounds De scribed as having a “ragged appearance," he wore a brown leather-like jacket, blue jeans and black boots The attacker has a description that is “similar” to that of a man who attempted to rape a high school student on campus last Thursday, according to Sgt. Rick Allison of the Eugene Police Department. But it’s difficult to say if the same man attacked both women, he says “It's a very general description. It’s very possible we've got two rapists on campus or in the vicinity," Allison says. More complete police records of the Thurs day incident indicate that the victim, a 17-year-old high school student, was attacked on her way to the University library The Eugene Police Department currently is following a lead on the Saturday rape, Allison says. ASUO sets elections hearing Another ASUO Elections Court hearing will be held after law school final exams are finished because some plaintiffs were not given adequate notice of the previous proceedings, court member Cathi Bulone says. Since the elections court can impose sanc tions and has a state university affiliation, such action could be considered state action, Bulone says. If the alleged violators are not given an opportunity to defend themselves, the court could be held liable, she adds If a defendant is not given due notice and is sanctioned, he could directly appeal to the Oregon State Court of Appeals, Bulone says "We (the elections court members) were taught in law school that you don’t put yourself in that position," she says. The dismissal of charges against ASUO Pres. Rich Wilkins and the hearing of Jim Edmundson’s complaint that ASUO Elections Director Gus Palmitessa allegedly overstepped his delegated authority will not be reheard, Gulone says. "If the Elections Board had done what they had to do, we wouldn't be doing this again,” she says Notice of the second hearings was sent Monday to give the concerned parties 10 days notice, Palmitessa says Association donates book The University will receive $3,000 worth of Japanese pub lications under a special library support program offered an nually by the Japan Foundation The books will be added to the Library's Orientalia Collec tion and will be available to students and teachers as re search sources, said Wen-Kai Kung, the Library’s Orientalia bibiiographer-cataloger The Japan Foundation, based in Tokyo, provides support to college and university libraries through donations of books and other materials relating to Japan Established in 1972 by the Diet, Japan's parliament, the non-profit organization oper ates on an income from an en dowment contributed by the Japanese government The University is one of only 20 institutions of higher educa tion in the country to receive the award for 1982-83.

Junior Achievement is a non-profit corporation that operates nationwide as well as in 16 foreign countries to provide high school students with education and practical experience in business. University juniors and seniors serve as advisers to high school students who actually form a business. Each group of students sell stock in their company, elect officers, produce a product or service, plan a marketing strategy, pay salaries, and promote and sell the product or service “Whenever you teach something, it reinforces what you already know,” Kenyon-Fisher says, referring to one of the benefits for University advisors Junior Achievement is looking for 15 to 20 business students to serve as applied management advisers, and each will represent a group of 20 high school students. The University student must make a full school-year commitment, serving from two to four hours at a weekly night meeting. The adviser also must be available for an introductory meeting in early September. In addition to the learning and teaching experience, the adviser earns two hours of internship credit each term on a non-graded basis For further information, contact Don Lytie at 686-3329 Business students TRY OUR FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH *1.50 Hot Dogs 75* Chili Dogs $1.00 10:30-2:00
