D The Battalion I , 11 tt 1 Hi r 111 VF Friday‘April 2! Rape wave hits college women OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Four women have been raped and two oth ers sexually assaulted on college cam puses in four Midwestern states, and police suspect the attacks are the work of the same person: a man who likes to spit on his victims, question them about their sex lives and ask them to pray for him. The attacks took place in February and March, on campuses 10 minutes to six hours apart. The rapes have led schools to step up secu rity and have unnerved students and faculty members with the idea that a rapist is targeting women working alone in computer labs and music rooms. “It is a terrifying thought to me that college campuses would be the preying grounds for a serial rapist,” said Heidi Hess, 30, who quit her job as a part-time jour nalist and business teacher after she was raped on March 5. Ms. Hess was chatting on the In ternet alone one night in a comput er lab at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, a campus where she had worked and studied for 10 years without fear. She heard rapid foot steps behind her. A man in a ski mask grabbed her, threw her to the floor and raped her. Ms. Hess—who decided to speak publicly because “people need to know it happens to people we know” — said her at tacker talked through the whole ordeal. “He threat ened me and he asked a lot of questions about my sexual past,” she said, declin ing to give any other specifics. Police inves tigating the oth- “It's a terrifying thought... that college campuses would be the preying grounds for a serial rapist." Heidi Hess Rape victim er attacks in Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin began to link the cas es because the attacker used simUar language and spoke as if he were ed ucated. He also used a ski mask or covered his victims’ heads with a knit cap, although one of the women was able to see her attacker, police said. DNA evidence has provided a solid link between attacks in Ne braska and Iowa, Lincoln Police Chief Tom Casady said. Further genetic tests are under way. The first attack occurred at Union College in Lincoln on Feb. 6, when a man wearing a ski mask raped a woman who was playing the piano at night in the basement of an administration building. Three days later, someone tried to rape a young woman in an art studio at Knox College in Gales burg, Ill. Another student walked in and scared off the assailant. The next day, a 19-year-old woman at Carthage College in Kenosha, Wis., was raped as she played the piano and sang in a music practice room. On Feb. 16, a 24-year-old woman was raped while working alone in a computer lab at St. Am brose University, a small religious school in Davenport, Iowa. Just four hours before the Dav enport rape, a man tried to sexu ally assault a 31-year-old teacher at Augustana College in nearby Rock Island, Ill., in a teacher’s of fice. A faculty member stopped the assault and pulled the attack er’s mask off before he fled. Ms. Hess’ rape was the last re ported assault. ► This day in history On this date: In 1792, highwayman Nicolas Jacques Pelletier be came the first person under French law to be executed by guillotine.
