Psychologist Expects More ASU Rapes By SCOTT McCLURE The Commercial Appeal Jonesboro, Bureau JONESBORO, Ark. The man who police believe is responsible for six rapes and nine attempted rapes in northeast Jonesboro since February may become even bolder, resulting in even more frequent attacks on women, says Jonesboro psychologist Dr. Curtis Atkinson. Greater boldness by the rapist may develop in part due to what Atkinson termed the increased challenge to the assailant now that the community has become more guarded. While the earlier assaults or rapes occurred in residences or in secluded outdoor locations, Atkinson noted the most recent rapes, which occurred in the field house on the Arkansas State University campus, were in a public building while other persons were nearby.

"He (the rapist) knew if just one of the girls would have hollered, he could have been caught," he said. Atkinson, a member of the staff at the George W. Jackson Mental Health a Center here, said he doesn't think the rapes are necessarily being committed for strictly sexual reasons. "I don't feel the attacks are related to sex," Atkinson said. "This type of rape is more related to anger, specifically highly defused type of anger toward white A spokesman for the Jonesboro Police Department said victims have described the assailant as a black 5-8 to 5-10 in height and weighing between 170 and 180 pounds.

The rapist is said to be husky and clean shaven with a short Afro hairstyle. Victims in the attacks in a 14-block area surrounding the university all have been white, according to police. Almost half of the attacks, which began in February, have involved ASU students. The most recent attacks occurred Sunday night at the ASU field house, when a black male raped two ASU coeds at gunpoint in an office where the women had been studying. Atkinson, who said he has had experience studying the criminally insane, said the man responsible for the rapes may have suffered severe humiliation or deprivation by women.

He said the rapist is probably a "very passive individual" who normally is nonaggressive and who may live in a woman -dominated home. "His attacks on women are his way at getting back at them," Atkinson said. "The whole point the attack is for him to obtain some degree of dominance. He's very intimidated by the opposite sex and, therefore, is seeking a mastery of the With the rapist's success at avoiding arrest thus far, he said he expects the man to become "more "It has daring." more of a challenge to him," Atkinson said. "He probably started out just frightening people and gradually moved up to the point he's at now.

I think it's lucky he hasn't shot anyone yet. But the fact that he hasn't hurt anyone to this point doesn't discount the possibility his feelings may change, especially if he's cornered." While Atkinson declined to diagnose the rapist as being "mentally ill," he did say the person is "obviously disturbed" because he has to use "this type of outlet to meet his own needs." "Perhaps the most disturbing thing is that his thinking could become more pathological," Atkinson said. "I suspect he certainly will become more paranoid." Atkinson said the rapist's behavior is probably normal most of time and said that given a group of people, an observer would be unable to distinguish between the rapist and the other persons. However, he said these types of persons also carry a "certain amount of remorse" for their actions that tends to build up as time goes on. It's this feeling of remorse, he said, that could lead to the suspect's capture.

"I fully expect this person to be caught," Atkinson said. "I suspect he will be tipping his hand more and more, as evidenced by the rapes in the field house, where coaches were working in a nearby office. That was really risky on his part." Atkinson said the rapist also apparently "folds under pressure" as shown by nine unsuccessful rape attempts, at least one of which ended when the intended victim fought back. A spokesman for the ASU Department of Public Safety said on Nov. 13 a woman student leaving the school's library was attacked in a parking lot south of the building.

The woman, according to Mid-South Congressional Voting Record Kennedy, who is expected to make another run for the presidency in 1984, charged Republicans had made a "major retreat" from their "commitment to civil rights."

NOT VOTING David Bowen Ham Is Given Immunity For Blanton Testimony NASHVILLE (UPI) An unindicted coconspirator in the trial of former Gov. Ray Blanton and two Blanton aides has received immunity from prosecution on state and federal charges in return for his testimony, documents revealed Saturday. Additionally, the state Alcoholic Beverage Commission will not revoke the liquor store license of Jack Ham even though prosecutors charge it was obtained illegally, the documents reveal.

A letter dated May 23, 1980, sent to Ham's attorneys from the U.S. Attorney's Office in Nashville, says the Davidson County assistant district attorney general has "advised that his office will not undertake prosecution of Mr. Ham concerning the subject matter of his testimony providing any information Mr. Ham provides to us is truthful."

Sen. Howard Baker (R who will advance from minority leader to majority leader in the new Congress in January, pledged he would push for fair housing legislation in the next Congress. "A good bill, not just a bill in name only, Baker promised. However, Baker is certain to encounter opposition in his own ranks because a number of conservative Republican senators oppose tougher fair housing.

The defeated measure, passed earlier this year by a comfortable margin in the House, would have empowered the Department of Housing and Urban Development to bring legal action to end discrimination in housing transactions, with fines of up to $10,000 for violators. One of the issues was whether the government would have to prove intent discriminate. Opponents said they will insist on this test in any future legislation. Supporters of the bill such such a condition would be unacceptable. Sen.

The 12-count indictment, handed down Oct. 29 by a federal grand jury, alleges that Blanton, Clyde Edd Hood and Jim Allen conspired to distribute liquor licenses to persons for a 20 per cent cut of the store business. Ham allegedly paid $23,334 of a bank note Blanton owed a Nashville bank in 1978, which represented 20 per cent of the profits of his Donelson liquor store. Ham is to resume his testimony in the case Monday, and defense attorneys should get their first opportunity to cross him next week.

The government decided to videotape Ham's deposition early after Ham's doctor said the liquor store owner may be too ill to testify when the trial convenes April 20. Treasurer John Dale Is Dead At 52 LUCEDALE, Miss. (AP) State Treasurer John Dale died Saturday in Lucedale where he was being treated for heart trouble. He was 52. Dale's cousin, state Insurance Commissioner George Dale, said John Dale died in George County Hospital.

His funeral will be held at 2 p.m. Monday at First United Methodist Church in Lucedale, with burial to follow in Magnolia Cemetery. "John Dale was a tremendously able public servant who had the confidence and respect of the people of Mississippi," said Gov. ernor William Winter. "John had spent most The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, Sunday, Dec.

"A characteristic of this rapist is that when he has faced resistance, he has decided to run, at least so far," Atkinson said. "The question is will he choose to use the gun next time?" Atkinson believes the rapist probably in his notoriety" due to the extensive attention the crimes have received, he said that without the publicity, 1 more assaults could have been committed. "If the media had ignored one rape, he might have tried to do something more drastic the next time to make sure he wasn't ignored again," he explained. "The publicity may be one of the reasons that no women have been killed." The continuing attacks and inability of the police, thus far, to arrest a suspect in the case also are having an adverse, effect on the community, Atkinson said, increased fear and a degree distrust.

"With a rapist on the streets, people become more hysterical, and hysteria can lead to some pretty dumb things," Atkinson said. "With gun sales across the city increasing, surprised some innocent person hasn't been He also said tension in the community makes the city a "fertile place" for rumors, which can "sweep through this city in minutes." A week ago, city officials were forced to call a press conference to dispel rumors that additional rapes had been committed but were being covered up by police. The Jonesboro Elks Lodge voted Thursday night to add $1,000 to the reward money being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the rapist, bringing the total reward fund to $6,000. A spokesman for the Elks said the organization hopes the additional reward money will provide more incentive for persons with information concerning the rapes to call the police. Persons with information have been asked to call the Jonesboro Police Department's emergency number 911.

Earlier last week, the Greater Jonesboro Chamber of Commerce pledged $2,000 in reward money. Jonesboro Mayor Neil Stallings, ASU President Ray Thornton and the Jonesboro Unity Club each have pledged $1,000. One Man's Junk A rocking chair, set in motion by someone not in view, rocks by itself at an auction of surplus Shelby County government property. About 200 people turned out for the event yesterday, and they spent $4,200 on about 750 items, including rocking chairs, desks and eight horsedrawn plows. The plows were once used at the Shelby County Penal Farm.

Joe Braswell, assistant manager of fixed assests for the county, said bidding on the used merchandise ranged from $1 to about $125. The auction was held in the Pipkin Building at the Mid-South Fairgrounds. Capital's Mayor Asks Black Vote By RHETA JOHNSON From The Commercial Appeal Greenville, Bureau By Barney Sellers ITTA BENA, Miss. If a banquet honoring Mississippi's black elected officials had been held in 1963, one speaker we'd have had only a toastmaster, a toastmistress and no audience." But the banquet Friday at Mississippi Valley State University was attended by more than 300 blacks who celebrated their advances in a government that formerly excluded them. And the one who's made it furthest Itta Bena native and mayor of Washington, Marion Barry Jr.

warned his all-black audience never to forget its past. "Other minorities, wherever they are, never forget their history," Barry told the enthusiastic crowd between gospel numbers and black poetry readings. "We have to keep a sense of history because ours has been taken from us," he said. "There is 'history' and then there's 'HIS' story," Barry said. "I was told in high school it was Admiral Perry, a white man, who discovered the North Pole and first planted a flag there.

Not true. That's 'HIS' story It was a black man. 'And remember Coca-Cola over there in Atlanta? A black person was in on developing that. And Eli Whitney and the cotton gin? It was a black person who built it first." Barry, who grew up in Memphis and was a civil rights activist during the 1960s, was elected mayor of Washington in 1979. When his family left the small Mississippi community of Itta Bena in 1936, they were headed for Chicago, "where so many of us had to go," Barry said.

"But we only had money enough for a Greyhound to Memphis, and that's where we stayed. And my mother worked in some white woman's kitchen." Barry said there are comparisons between Mississippi the state with the highest percentage of blacks and Washington the major U.S. city with the largest percentage of blacks. "In Washington it's 70 per cent "We have a black mayor and a black police chief and a black fire chief and a black city administrator And with all of that, we are still catching hell. "We own very little of anything.

We're still not free. We don't have economic Ten years ago, Barry said. black people earned 62 cents for each $1 a white person earned. "Now it's just 59 cents, and the gap is wider than ever." Black college graduates earn about the same salaries as white high school graduates do, Barry said. And the na191 black mayors and 5,000 elected officials still represent less than 1 per cent of all elected officials, he added.

Driving School Party Puts The Limit At Two Drinks NASHVILLE (UPI) Two's the limit on drinks for judges, police and alcohol counselors invited to a cocktail party hosted by one of Nashville's three drunk-driving schools. "I'll tell you, we don't plan to have them in here with party hats and dancing girls," Sipho Dumasane, vice president of the Luophonse Driver Improvement School, said Saturday. "We'll limit the number of drinks." The school, which teaches drunk-driving offenders safe driving habits, has scheduled the Christmas cocktail party for Dec. 23 to show appreciation to the judges. The judge decides which of the three drunk-driving schools a DWI first offender must attend, said General Sessions Judge Bill Higgins.

Kilgore Mistrial Is Declared NASHVILLE (UPI) Criminal Court Judge John L.
