"We have no unusual amount of assaults." Accompanying the suit is a request for the defendants to admit that Dillon was unable to contact his next of kin for more than eight hours after the incident. The suit charges that Dillon could not get assistance from deputies until about an hour after he was assaulted.

The adult who assaulted Dillon, Fred Henry Calloway, was a known sex offender of young white males, and the defendants were negligent in allowing him to stay in the juvenile section of the jail after his 18th birthday, the suit charges. Calloway and one of the juveniles homosexually raped Dillon and then watched while the third raped the victim with a bottle, according to a summary of evidence given when Calloway pleaded guilty to the assault. Named as defendants in the suit aside from the city, the sheriff and the corrections director are Maj. George McMillan and J.J. Hayes.

McMillan is Hudson's chief deputy. Hayes was working in the juvenile section when the assault occurred Jan. 26, Hudson said. Hudson said he expected the suit would be filed, but he could not comment on the allegations because the matter will be in court. Wayne Farrar, a spokesman for Corrections Director Raymond Procunier, said he would have no comment.

The sheriff has admitted his department erred in not moving Calloway from the juvenile section, according to a Corrections Department official who investigated the matter shortly after the attack. Alan Brittle of the Corrections Department found that jail officials acted illegally in housing Calloway with juveniles but were not guilty of gross negligence. Calloway, who was awaiting transfer to the state penitentiary to serve a 10-year-sentence on another rape and sodomy conviction, turned 18 last October, but his birthday was overlooked by jail personnel. The juvenile holding area is reserved for those 17 and under, and it is against state law to house adults with youths. Brittle's investigation found that Hudson had instituted new procedures to keep adults out of the juvenile holding area.

Kenneth King, Dillon's attorney in both his criminal case and the suit filed today, said Dillon has been sent to the Powhatan Correction Center where "he's getting help for his psychological problems." "We did not take any action against the city until now because we didn't want to prejudice the outcome of his case," King said. Circuit Court Judge Kenneth Trabue gave Dillon a 50-year sentence after he admitted entering a Southeast Roanoke home where the crimes occurred. Armed with a hunting knife and wearing only a ski mask, tennis shoes and a watch, Dillon raped and sodomized the woman who lived there, and robbed the family of $140. Before leaving Dillon ordered the woman, who was deeply religious, to swear an oath to God she would not tell police. At his sentencing, Dillon's former junior high school principal described him as a "professional con artist," a "psychopathic liar" and a latent "sex pervert." By CHARLES HITE Higher education writer The high cost of four-year colleges and unemployed workers seeking job skills are apparently two major factors in a significant drop in the median age of Virginia community college students.

While the median age of community college students climbed in the early and mid-1970s to 28, the 114,000 students enrolled last fall had a median age of 25. The trend could cause changes in the curriculum and services of the community college system, which has been gearing itself toward serving an older student population. Younger students, especially those just out of high school, may need more counseling services and may be interested in different programs. "It's a fairly significant trend if it continues," said Mike Mullen, an associate director of the state Council of Higher Education. The declining age of students showed up in a report of educational programs reviewed Thursday at a meeting of the state Board of Community Colleges at Virginia Western Community College.

The age decline apparently means more traditional students those in the 18 to 21 age group are deciding to opt for community colleges, said Elmo Roesler, director of planning and evaluation for the state Community College System. Roesler said the system apparently is attracting students who in the past would have attended fouryear colleges. Community College Chancellor James Hinson, interviewed after the meeting, agreed with Roesler but he said the decline was also due to the prolonged recession. Whenever the economy is down, Hinson said, enrollment picks up in community colleges because unemployed workers are looking for new job skills. And most of those laid off, he noted, are the younger, inexperienced employees.

The report, which focused on the new programs that would be proposed for the 1984-86 budget period, also showed what Roesler termed a remarkable growth in the number of women students. Figures were available only for six technical program areas and for college transfer programs. The largest increases were in the public service and college transfer areas, where the number of women for both went from 37 percent in 1977 to 53 percent in 1981. Women continued to dominate business (69 percent), health (88 percent), and arts and design (65 percent), but they accounted only 9 percent of the engineering programs. The report on education programs the first in-depth analysis of the need for future community college offerings shows nearly 38.000 students in the six technical programs.

They represent 33 cent of the total enrollment. Another 17,000 enrolled in college transfer courses, 15 percent of the total enrollment. The remaining students, representing 52 percent of the total 114,000 enrollment, are not in any specific curriulum. The largest of the six technical programs is business, with more than 19,000 students, or 51 percent of the enrollment. Engineering is next, with 10,000 students or 27 percent of the enrollment, followed by public service (11 percent), health (7.8 percent), arts and design (3 percent) and agriculture (1 percent).

During the five-year period from 1977 to 1981, the percentage of graduates from each program ranged from 19 percent (arts and design and college transfer) to 52 percent (health). Roanoke delegate to seek re-election Delegate A. Victor Thomas, a 52-year-old Roanoke grocer, announced Thursday he will seek reelection to a sixth term in the General Assembly. Thomas, a Democrat, has served in the House of Delegates since 1974. Permit for Christian TV station approved By LUCIAN WARREN Washington bureau WASHINGTON A Federal Communications Commission administrative law judge Thursday approved a permit for Roanoke Christian Broadcasting Inc.

to operate a television station in Roanoke. Judge Joseph P. Gonzalez, who held hearings last summer on applications by Roanoke Christian Broadcasting and Western Virginia Television Co. to broadcast over Channel 27, said RCB "is clearly the preferred candidate." Under FCC regulations, the initial decision by Gonzalez will become effective in 30 days unless exceptions are filed by the applicants or the commission itself reviews the case on its own motion. Gonzalez said Roanoke Christian Broadcasting has plans for a "meaningful convergence of owner ship and station management," while Western Virginia Television does not.

Gonzalez devoted most of his 11-page decision to a discussion of the ownership and proposed management of the two competing TV station applicants. The issue of the comparative financial soundness of the two applicants was eliminated by Gonzalez in rulings at the conclusion of the hearings last year. In his decision, Gonzalez noted that Roanoke Christian Broadcasting is a non-profit, non-stock Virginia company controlled by this board of directors: President and board Chairman Llewellyn L. Fischer, a native of Clifton Forge who moved to Roanoke as a child, worked for the government in Norfolk until his retirement in 1975, then became a supervisory industrial specialist. He is to be general manager of the new station.

Randolph Kingery, a cement contractor and lifelong resident of Norfolk, plans to devote most of his time to overseeing the station's sales program. L. Stroupe, a native of Roanoke who is in the real estate business, will oversee the station's program department and develop its budget. V. Harrell, a native of Waverly and a partner in a Roanoke accounting firm.

He will be involved in establishing and supervising the station's accounting and payroll practices and procedures. E. Dana Cox secretary. treasurer of Western Virginia Television, was to have been general manager had the firm's application been approved. Cox was vice president and general manager of WBRA-TV in Roanoke from 1966 to 1972.
