University student raped
while jogging bike path
A 20-year-old University
student was beaten and raped
Friday while jogging on the bike
path north of the Willamette
River.
According to Sgt Rick Allison
of the Eugene Police
Department, the woman was
jogging alone at 11:30 a m
when she was accosted about a
quarter mile from the Knicker
bocker bicycle bridge, toward
the Springfield city limits
The woman stated that she
was struck in the head with an
umbrella and dragged about 15
feet toward the river before
being raped One or two people
may have passed on the path
during the incident, but Allison
says they neither prevented nor
reported the rape
Campus security transported
the woman from the Student
Health Center, where she went
directly after the assault, to
Sacred Heart Hospital
The suspect was described
by his victim as a 5-foot-10-inch
white male, with medium-length
blond hair, a short beard and a
mustache He was wearing a
blue Levis jacket, blue jeans and
brown hiking boots
A Volkswagen van, linked to
the assailant because it was
seen in the vicinity before the
rape and not afterward, was
described as white, a 1976 or
1977 model, with many dents
and rust spots visible.
Allison requested that any
one in the area at the time
contact him at Campus Securi

ORT suspends operations
The Oregon Repertory Theater, the only
professional theater company in Eugene, has
suspended operations to concentrate on
fundraising efforts.
In its announcement over the weekend,
ORT said the decision was an effort to gear up
to move into the Hult Center
The company is planning a reorganiza
tion program," in which ORT would join the
other major local companies in the new
performing arts center
The company, which has been losing
money steadily since its 1981 move into the old
Eugene Hotel, is suspending artistic produc
tion to prevent further losses Current
estimates of ORT s debt run as high as
$200,000
Under the reorganization scheme. ORT
plans to sell off its assets, including seats and
lighting equipment, and to open an office in the
Arts Management Services building, which
also houses the symphony, opera and ballet
When the 10-year-old company moved
from The Atrium in 1981, it had enough funds
to continue operation However, the cost to
remodel its current theater eliminated any
chance of moving into the new Hult Center
when it opened
New fundraising efforts have been in
troduced to save the company ORT expects to
resume production in October, 1983. if fund
raising is successful. Company spokesmen
cautioned, however, that if fundraising is un
successful the theater will fold
PORTLAND, (AP) - More
than 200 people have applied
for the chance to patrol
Portland's streets wearing the
distinctive red berets of the
Guardian Angels.
The applicants, Portland's
first group of prospective Guar
dian Angels, signed up during
an eight-day recruiting session
that ended at 8 p m Saturday, a
Guardian Angels spokesman
said
"Of that 200, we accepted
about 90 percent into the initial
training program,” said Michael
Stoops, founder of the Portland
chapter of the group and direc
tor of the Burnside Community
Council
About 10 percent of the
applicants were rejected for
reasons including past criminal
convictions and unacceptable
attitudes about the group's pur
pose. Stoops said
People who want to go out
and play cop,'1 or who see the
group as the first step toward a
law enforcement career were
rejected, he said
