Two students say men raped them recently

According to police reports, two KU students reported being raped in two separate incidents more than a week apart.

One reported incident occurred Oct. 12, but the report wasn’t released until Monday. According to the report, the woman said a man had sex with her without consent. Police said the suspect was an acquaintance of the woman. The suspect was not arrested, and the KU Public Safety Office was forwarding the case to the Douglas County District Attorney.

The other reported rape occurred early Sunday morning. Police said the suspect was an acquaintance of the woman. Police also did not arrest the suspect and gave the case to the Douglas County District Attorney.

Salons to give proceeds to breast cancer research

Salon Hawk in the Kansas Union will donate the proceeds from Wednesday’s haircuts to breast cancer.

Salon Hawk owner Emily Willis said the donations were part of the Pink Hair for Hope campaign. She said the salon also wanted to collect about 250 more bras to hang across the Kaw River to raise awareness for breast cancer.

Willis said she was inspired to help after her friend was diagnosed with breast cancer at 27. “I think a lot of people think they’re invincible to this disease,” she said.

Men’s haircuts cost $15 and a women’s haircut and style costs $22. Appointments and walk-ins are welcome. Call Salon Hawk at (785) 864-1990 for more information.

Students meet, interview hosts of new CNN show

KJHK reporter Sara Shannon, Ottawa junior, attended the College Music Journalism conference at New York University last weekend.

While in New York, Shannon viewed the pre-screening of CNN’s new show “Planet in Peril” which premieres tonight and Wednesday. Shannon visited with one of the show’s hosts, Anderson Cooper, who also is host of Anderson Cooper 360.

Shannon said she interviewed Cooper about his involvement with the documentary, and the problem of global warming, one of the issues in the show. Shannon said Linda Steele, Lawrence graduate student, met with the executive producer of Anderson Cooper 360, David Doss.

“Planet in Peril” premieres at 8 tonight on CNN. According to CNN, the show is a two-part, four-hour documentary that travels around the world discussing Earth’s major environmental issues. Anderson Cooper, Animal Planet’s Jeff Corwin, and CNN medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta are the show’s hosts.

Shannon’s interview with Cooper and Steele’s interview with Doss will air at 7 tonight on KJHK. Listeners will also be able to learn more about the show, “Planet in Peril.” A podcast is available to download now from kjhk.org.

Shannon said meeting and talking with Cooper at CNN’s headquarters was incredible.

“I don’t get star-struck at all,” Shannon said. “But I definitely did.”
