He would like to set up an accounting system that would be easy to pass from one administration to the next so that the traditional problems which occur during the summer months are alleviated. In establishing this system, ASWC could keep a good working relationship with vendors and with the school. George also would like to set up some procedural changes which would include requiring whoever the treasurer is in the future to meet monthly with the today. self-taug- ht Minor Damages Reported in Hogle Fire by Karin Jaffie A lack of maintenance in a second floor Hogle Hall kitchen stove was the cause of afire at 10:45 Sunday morning. Sept. 30, resulting in damage only to the internal wiring of the stove according to Salt Lake City Fire Department Captain Don Hill. Hill said, The girls extinguished the fire with the existing equipment a regulation fire extinguisher on hand. . Sophomore Kim Andrew's was cooking on the stove when flames leaped out of the burner. Said Andrews, I didnt even know what was going on. Fire just jumped out and na Andrews notified the second floor Resident Advisor Sue Arakaki and Arakaki extinguished the flames. The fire wras not the immediate result of Andrews using the stove, but because all dorm residents have use of the stove and no one wants to clean it. According to Anne Reeder, Hogle Hall senior resident adviser, Its the residents responsibility to keep it clean. If its anybodys fault, its everybodys. The dormitory housekeeper Chris Slock cleans the stove extensively twice a year; in the summer and at Christmas. All the Hogle residents are therefore responsible for keeping the kitchen areas and the stove clean at all other times. 06X1131 Harassment is an Increasing Problem on College Campuses CINCINNATI, OH (CPS) Nearly d of all female college students are sexually harassed on campus mostly by male faculty members but few women complain because of embarrassing, drawn-ou- t grievance procedures, a new book claims. The harassment, moreover, can cause emotional problems and make victims hostile toward men, says Linda Weiner, University of Cincinnati vice provost for student affairs and Billie Wright Dzeich. a U.C. English professor , authors of The Lecherous Professor, a book on harassment on campus. btudents are frightened, Dzeich explains. u They let harassment go on. They endure it, anything but confront it I dont want him to get in trouble. I just want him to stop, is a common reaction. btudents often feel intimidated or powerless to stop the harassment although institutions are required to have grievance procedures and programs to support them, Dzeich points out one-thir- Many of these programs are slow in coming, she states. But if theyre not adequate, students begin to protest." Few faculty members harass students, Dzeich stresses, but those who do are usually chronic repeaters. A are harassed each year," she adds. But its a small number of million-plu- s women faculty who do it. The authors found three common types of harassers. The counselor-helpe- r preys on troubled students needs for close relationships. The power broker bargains grades and recommendations for sexual favors, and the intellectual seducer draws personal information from students in class. The authors findings are consistant with those in other harassment studies. The University of California at Berkeley determined in 1979 that 30 percent of its female students received unwanted sexual attention from instructors. In a 1982 University of Washington study, 41 percent of campus women claimed theyd been sexually harassed. In 1983, nearly a fourth of Penn States women students said they had been harassed. Our policy on sexual harassment allows students three channels for complaints," reports Vicky Eide of Iowa State Universitys Affir- mative Action office. Informal complaints go through advisors or department chairs. Affirmative Action handles formal complaints, or students may go through an outside channel such as the Iowra Civil Rights Commission. But few women ever file charges, she adds. They come in and discuss options, but never come back, Eide says. At this time no cases are under investigation. The University of California at Santa Barbara handles about 20 sexual harassment complaints a year through its University Grie-- , . vance Officer (UGO) and a number of other contacts. Only one formal grievance has been filed since 1981, says Dr. Harleen Me Ada, the current UGO. The low numbers of complaints are deceiving, Dzeich claims, and can make colleges complacent An institution can kid itself, she says. But it may not be an environment in which students are comfortable complaining. Informal complaints are easier to make, Dzeich adds, but these arent formally recorded or thoroughly investigated. A better method, she says, is to confront the harasser If he continues, complain to a trusted adviser, department head or administrator. Keep records of events, she stresses. Write him a letter and keep a copy of it Document everything. |
