Sheriffs Department Burglary and auto theft: Riley P. Lawrence, 133 Martin Lane, reported that someone had taken his 1967 Alfa Romeo on July 29 and had done $1,300 in damage, then returned the car. The sheriff said Wednesday that two juveniles have admitted being involved in the theft and Lawrence is seeking restitution for the damage. Vandalism: Danny Hutton, principal at Daniel McKee School at 2623 Halls Hill Pike, reported that twice during the past week, several windows had been broken at the school and damage is estimated at $150.

Building a strong assault awareness program is difficult, he said. One of the chief obstacles is apathy that old "it will never happen to me" attitude. A typical example was a rape awareness seminar held Wednesday night at the university. Drugmand said signs advertising the session had been posted all over campus. "Only 12 people attended.

I guess that's a start," Drugmand shrugged. The poor attendance occurred despite newspaper accounts of the sexual assaults against the two coeds. Besides educating students about how to avoid rape, MTSU is attempting to make its police officers more sensitive to the problems of assault victims. "It's the type of crime that traumatizes its victim, her family and her friends," Drugmand said. "We are here to help the victims anyway we can.

We try to make it clear they have a choice on whether to prosecute or not. We tell the victims that 'it's totally your he said. "Many victims aren't sure of what their rights are. They are afraid of how they will be treated by the police or in court," Drugmand stated. A -1975 court decision prohibits defense attorneys in Tennessee in effect from putting a rape victim on trial.

Gradually, the social stigma once attached to being a rape victim is disappearing, Drugmand said. "There is nothing wrong with being a victim. You can't help it if your house has been burglarized or if you were mugged. You didn't chose to be a victim, and the same is true in assault cases," he said.

MTSU's rape awareness program begins the first day students arrive on campus.

Women are given a booklet emphasizing "common sense safety rules to employ against molesters." "What we advocate is a good defense. If you are prepared, you've got a chance," Drugmand said. "We don't tell the students anything different than what they've heard all their lives from their mothers and fathers," he explained. "We try to re-emphasize what they already know." Americans are raised to be too busting. Many of us hurtle through life like a horse with blinders on, ignoring everything going on in the outside world, the security chief said.

"We need to be aware of how untrustworthy some people can be," Drugmand stressed. "We're, being too nice. We're too afraid of hurting someone's feelings and afraid of looking like a nut." Ms. Rice agreed, "young people are very, very Collegiate victims fail to take into account that 80 percent of rapes are committed by someone the victim knows, not a stranger. "What we find is that students after they meet; someone the first time regard him as a friend when they actually don't know the person at all.

They'll offer him a ride or take home someone who is a friend of a friend and that's where trouble begins J' she said. Casting all caution aside, many coeds walk by themselves late at night. "They do it all the time," she said. "They should walk in groups the bigger the better," Ms, Rice cautioned, pointing out that walking with just one friend is not a great deterrent to a rapist. "He'll watch them and assault the one who looks the most vulnerable.

Women shouldn't jog along or bike alone or even go to class alone," she said. "Women shouldn't even go to the restroom alone. Last year there was a problem with students being assaulted by men who had hidden the public restrooms at the university," Ms. Rice warned. MTSU police preach a simple, but effective defense to women students: "When in doubt: scream," Drugmand said.

Calm resistance is successful in repelling 85 percent of all assaults. "It seems that trying to fight the rapist is one of the worst things a victim can do. The anger causes more anger in the rapist. By staying calm, the victim will. instill a calm in the attacker," Ms.

Rice suggested. "The are dozens of methods of resistance and none of them are the (Continued from page one) pay a tax. Bracey said, "Basically, the charities are not paying taxes.

Used-To-Be." He played himself in the lgsOmowe-abouLWj "Coal Miner'sDaughter," basedon her autobiography. "I guess the main thing I'm proudest of is that I've entertained people and meant something to then-lives and they have a warm spot in their hearts," the lanky Tubb, who always wore a cowboy hat in public, said in a 1977 interview. "I'm honest, or at least I've tried to be. I'm what I am myself. If you're not yourself, you're not honest and you're not going to survive long.

You can't fool the public too long. Born in Crisp, Texas, Tubb never finished grammar school. His music was greatly influenced by his idol, Jimmie Rodgers, known as "the father of country music. Several well-known country music Jack Greene and Cal Smith, were members of Tubb's band, the Texas Troubadors, at one time oranother. NASHVILLE, (AP) -Ernest Tubb, the pioneer of country music's "Honky Tonk" sound with songs like "I'm Walking the Floor Over You," died today.

He was 70. Gil Caywood, spokesman at Baptist Hospital, said Tubb died at 11 a.m. with his son Justin, a Grand Ole Opry star like his father, at his bedside. Tubb, who had been hospitalized since Aug, 10, suffered from emphysema and had been in failing health since 1981. Known as "The Texas Troubador," Tubb in 1965 was the sixth member elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame.

He first sang on the Grand Ole Opry in 1942 and his distinctive, deep baritone was heard on the revered country music schow throughout his career. He sold at least 30- million records and recorded 250 or more songs. His hits, besides the million-selling "I'm Walking the Floor Over You" in 1942, included "Waltz Across Texas," "Let's Turn Back the Years," "Rainbow at Midnight," "Tomorrow Never Comes," "Filipino Baby" and "Little Ole Band of Gold." Today's best known "Honky Tonk" singer is Moe Bandy.

Ms. Holt, who took her real estate examination in Februrary, wouid not discuss what kind of situation she left atWFYZ.

"I'm not privy to their councils and any comments I would make would not be appropriate since I no longer work there," she said. When asked whether she became interested in real estate to escape a sinking financial ship, Ms. Holt said, "let's just say I've been interested in real estate for some time."

"The station's debts are significant but not in proportion to the worth of its assets," Brutoco said. "They don't come anywhere near what the station is worth." Brutoco declined, to be specific about WFYZ's debts, but said the all-out battle with WCAY was a severe financial drain on both stations. "They are losing money. We are losing money," he said. "If they want to keep on, let them.

That's why we are restructuring what we do." Brutoco added that WFYZ's programming would remain basically the same but would be juggled to fit the new time format.

He added that it is too early to estimate how much MTMC would charge patients for the service.

"I want to emphasize that we are doing this as a service to the people who need it, not to make a profit," Kilts said. "If we can provide the service and break even, that's what we'll do." When the system is installed, Kilts said, doctors will refer high-risk patients who need the service to the in-home office. After it operates for a few months, Kilts hopes to open it up to anyone in the community who "wants it. "As more people use it, the price will come down," he noted. And Nunley is certain more lives can be saved with such a system.

But he adds that he is open to other ways of banning abortion.

Gordon refuses to support such an amendment, saying that it would not stop abortions but simply move them into the back room. Both Gordon and Simpkins favor completion of the controversial Columbia Dam, but Sir today questioned Simpkins' commitment to it. Apparently sensing a weakness in Simpkins' position on farm subsidies he favors what he terms an open market the Democrats said today that price supports can help save the family farm. Davis, who grew up "on a creek bottom farm," said price supports are necessary in rural areas. Gordon emphasized the importance of agriculture, noting that one of every 32 jobs in Tennessee depends on tobacco.

(Gordon) knows where he stands and doesn't have to be told by someone in Washington what his stand is." Simpkins apparently is staking out the conservative ground in the campaign and wants voters to see Gordon as more liberal. Their stand on the Hartsville plant is not the only issue that shows the candidates' differences. When he began the campaign Simpkins said he personally opposed abortion but was not sure whether it should be outlawed.

Now he has decided that women should not be allowed to obtain abortions except in cases of rape, incest or when the mother's life is endangered. 73 73 29 29 21 21 27 27 27 41 Edward D. Jones Co.
