whom is u woman.
When Barker arrived sil Stirred Heart. a nurse
railed an advoratr from Victim's Services Pro
gram. a support service operated through the dis
trict attorney's office.
Local hospitals call either Victim’s Services or
Sexual Assault Support Services as a standard
procedure, unless the survivor draw not wont to
have an advocate present Victim's Services deals
mom on the legal side of things, whereas SASS Is
in a support role for any rape survivor but has no
legal affiliation.
The advocate usually stays with the survivor
throughout the questioning at the hospital and
doesn’t leave her side until assured the woman
has someone she can trust to stay with that night.
Barker said the advocate was helpful and that
she was comforted having her there She said the
woman called her in Salem a few days following
the rape to see how she was doing
"We stay with the survivor in an emotional
support role." said lirin Collier, SASS assistant
direr tor "We can stay with her through every
thing. il that's what she wants - through the
medical exams, the questioning and anything
else.”
Barker said that although the entire process,
from the Investigation to the medical procedures,
was difficult, it was worth it.
"It's painful and humiliating," she said, "but
there’s some satisfaction in knowing you're OK.
at least physically, and you might he able to make
a difference."
Barker said that although she had decided to re
port the rape and go through the medical and in
vestigative processes, she felt the procedures
dragged on.
"The rape advocate was there to help, hut ev
erything else was jusl taking too long," she said
"I just wunted to take a shower and get away from
the dorms "
The suspect. Tt-year-old University freshman
Michael Patrick Ryan, shot himself in the head af
ter leading Texas police on a 60-mile chase six
days after the rape
Although she visits a counselor once a week,
Barker said she still sees Ryan's face and remem
bers the rape frequently.
"It s utmost worse than death botauso you have
to gel through it somehow," she said, "It affects
your lieliels, who you can trust, your personal re
lationships It really opens your eyes up to how
scary this world is "
Liiwurd L Poole, a displaced logger from
Springfield, received u 15-year prison sentence

I960. Poole served u short jail sentence for raping
four other women
(oilman, who graduated from a New York uni
versity lust May and was visiting the West for the
first time, was camping with a friend a mile from

Poole, who had been camping three tent spaces
a wav. threatened (oilman with a butcher knife
and said ho would kill her if she didn't follow
him into the woods
Afterwards. Cillman ran to the forest ranger’s
trailer and reported the uttuck. Police arrested

‘Every male Is a potential
rapist Every male Is custom
tailored to rape through the
media, through child-rearing
and through the power
Imbalance
— Heather Gillman,
Rape survivor
Besides requiring stitches around her vagina
from the knife cuts. Giilman's physical health
was normal. All of the tost results came out nega
tive.
Gillman went all the way through the legal pro
cess to put Poole behind iwrs, and said she was
pretty satisfied with the system. She didn't en
counter much sexism, but she said she wasn't go
ing to tolerate any.
"I'm a hard-ass," she said. "I’ve been a fominist
since I was seven years old. and I wasn't going to
tolerate any sexism."
Gillman said she got what she wanted from the
legal system bocuuse she was prepurod for it. She
had worked in a rape crisis counseling center for
three years prior to her rape.
Gillmun also said other personal factors that
"looked good" contributed to the success of the
trial.
"My mother's a doctor, I'm white and I know
the lingo," she said. "I had my expectations filled
because I was angry and I felt my powor as a
woman. I didn't feel like a little girl."
Although she hud a relatively positive experi
ence with the legal process, Gillman said she
could see the potential for a woman who wasn't
us familiar with the system to got "the short end
of the stick.
"I was educated enough to ask the right ques
tions,'' she said "I know what I had legal access
to."
If Poole hadn't both sodomized and taken Gill
man off the road she was walking on prior to the
attack, he would have only received a five-year
sentence. He was sentenced to five years each for
rupo, sodomy and kidnapping.
Gillman said she is disturbed by the amount of
local men she has encountered that don't seem to
be concerned about rape.
Men in Eugene are so concerned about racism
and the environment,” Gillman said. "Why do
those things take priority over rape?”
Gillman said it is crucial for people to recog
nize rape as a male problem, not a female one.
"Every male is u potential rapist," she said.
"Every male is custom-tailored to rape through
the media, through child-rearing and through the
power imbalance."
With Barker the legal proceedings ended, for
the most part, when Ryan shot himself in the
head.
"I was glad he was no longer a threat to me, but
I also felt bud that i had to go on suffering through
this and he got off the hrxjk." she said.
Barker only had a brief encounter with the legal
system that included an uppearunce in front of
the grand jury shortly after the attack.
However, Barker hus since hired a Eugene at
torney for "investigatory purposes." Neither the
lawyer nor Barker would say whether they plan
legal action against the University or Ryan's es

program*. It Is essentially an
overhead charge for programs
lhal take advantage of space
and payroll services at the Uni
versity.
The money generated Is be
ing used to finance the Univer
sity's “Strategic Plan." an out
line of goals for improving stu
dent life and quality of educa
tion. (Programs and depart
ments make proposals for
funds.)
The surcharge for the Foun
tain Court Cafe was about
SI4.000 this year
Geltner said he has mixed
feelings about the surcharge
and its effect.
"It hurts our department, but
I've watched president after
president shelve strategic plans
because there was no way to
fund them," Geltner said.
"(I’residunt Mylus Brand) has
found a way to do it
"Our lives would be easier if
we didn't have to pay it," he
added, "but we're in un aca
demic institution and we need
to sup{K>rt thu long-term goals
of the University."
After a review of options,
Cellner said the liMU adminis
tration decided about two
weeks ago that closing the
Fountain Court Cafe for the
summer was the best way to
make up lost revenue with the
least amount of harm to em
ployees.
Four classified employees
will have their 12-month jobs
reduced to nine-month posi
tions. Cellner said, and no stu
dent jobs are expected to be
lost
Those affected were offered
the option of displacing anoth
er FMU employee with less se
niorily, but so fur none have ax
pressud an intent to exercise
their "bumping rights,” Gellner
said
“It was a difficult decision to
make, but on paper, we
couldn't make it happen any
other way,” Gellner said. "Wo
didn't identify people to lay off,
but an area that is not making
money.”
Gellner said the Fountain
Court decision is part of a long
term goal that the EMU be less
reliant on Incidental foes —
S1,BH2.«H4 was allocated by the
1FC to the EMU for next year —
and to make the EMU more fi
nancially viable.
The Skylight Refectory und
the Fishbowl Dell will likely of
fer some of the food now avail
able at the Fountain Court,
Gellner said. For example, the
salad bar will probably move to
the Skylight.
