But it also 3s a story about kindness and understanding. A week ago Wednesday, a pretty, 22-year-old woman was on her way to work at a Dayton plant, where she is a key punch operator. She works the 4-to-midnight shift, so it was midday when she became a victim.

This is her story: the rape, the hospital, the help she got and the police efforts to capture the rapist. The victim's name will remain anonymous, but in this story, she will be called Joan. By Ann Heller Journal Herald Staff Writer "It was at Fifth and Mound," Joan remembers. "I was on my way to work and I stopped at this traffic light. "I was going to throw out some cigarets you know how you empty your ashtray." So she unlocked the door before she even came to a stop!

She didn't know it then, but it coat and a blue denim hat appeared out of nowhere. "The dude opened the door. He grabbed my hair and told me to get down." She saw something shiny, maybe a knife blade, she says. She screamed, but apparently no one heard her. "I ASKED HIM, do you want my money or what?" she says.

Refugee story Page 2. Tmirnol nuuiiiui mm 4 of I pnn CHICAGO (AP) It seems women didn't -like the survey that said women didn't like sex as much as men. The survey, presented in a paper at the Midwestern Psychological Assn. convention by a human development specialist, drew gasps from some women and arguments from others.

Dr. Paul Cameron of St. Mary's College of Maryland said in his paper that men of all ages found more pleasure in sex and that before middle age they listed it as their most pleasurable activity. Women, surveyed never listed it as their most enjoyable activity and in some age groups even put it behind housework and sleeping. A number of women argued that the survey didn't account for social pressures that would make women deny they enjoy sex.

"WOMEN MAY THINK sex is No. 1 but when questioned they give a socially desireable response rather than a truthful one," was the way it was explained by Ann Frodi, 30, of Goteborg, Sweden, who is on a fellowship at the University of Wisconsin. Pete Lawson, 34, of Lakewood Community 1 1 in White Bear Lake, agreed. "If you ask a woman if she enjoys sex, she thinks you ara prooosi-tinning her. She is in a culture role.

She loves sex but doesn't want to let anyone know. You can't pet true answers in such a urvey." Lenors De Fonsn, 34. of Rock College in Janesville, had the same reaction, "WOMEN, PERHAPS, are more enthusiastic about other things but that doesn't mean they don't enjoy sex as much," she said. "Men are supposed to enjoy sex and they brag about it. Women don't make a big thing of it." The 35-year-old Cameron, who presented the paper Thursday, said he was somewhat surprised Pete Rose on the move again Remember how the Cincinnati Reds were looking for an established third baseman who could hit 1 during the off-season?
