Crystal Gayle just does not attract the typical concert crowd of boozers and dope smokers - she’s not that kind of entertainer. Mom and Dad could (and did) bring the whole fam ily to see the show - children were as common a sight as doubleknit slacks. I experienced a mild culture shock when I saw Jerry Jeff Walker at the Armadillo’s Ninth Birthday Party the next night. I wondered if half the people there knew who was playing - or even where they were. Perhaps if I had been a man I would have enjoyed the Crystal Gayle concert a little more. Al though dressed in prim white clothes with nothing showing that the kids couldn’t see, every man in the place seemed to be mentally undressing her. The women in the audience weren’t quite so mes merized. No matter how her stage pres ence affects you, there is no ques tion about her voice. She is a re markable singer who can wring emotion out of even the poorest song. Listening to her songs made me wonder who picks them out - they all seem to be about the man who left her in the lurch. Surely no one could have had their heart bro ken that many times. Her best song of the evening was the slow, sad ballad “Talking In Your Sleep ” She relied more on her vocals than on accompaniment in this song which made it sweet and not showy. Ms. Gayle’s back-up band, “Peace and Quiet>“ were unimpres sive during the opening set which they played without her. True to their name, they kept things very mellow - almost to the point of put ting the audience to sleep. “Peace and Quiet” were adequate but unexciting during the rest of the show, with the exception of some excellent piano and organ by the two keyboards players during Willie Nelson’s song “Night Life.” The audience was half the show - in particular the male members. They amused Ms. Gayle with their “whoop” and “ssss” yells, especially during a song that began: “A willing woman, a willing man (whoop), a five-room house, a wedding band (ssss).” She just couldn’t stop giggl ing after that one. Her concert this year was made much more enjoyable by the fact that it was held in Rudder Au ditorium. Rudder far surpasses G. Rollie White with comfortable seat ing and better lights and sound. omen tolerating sexual arassment, study says TEXAS HALL OF FAME presents TUESDAY 7-12 Jerry Nail & the Armadillo Express $2 per person Lone Star Draft pitchers $1.75 WEDNESDAY 7-12 “Silver Creek” $2 per person All Ags get in free w/current I.D.

Making them aware of the occur rence is extremely important, Seymour said. If company officials don’t do something about the har- rassment, it could present a good ease that they are tacitly condoning the act, he added. He stressed the most important factor in most legal confrontations is establishing the link between harassment and job status. In other words, did refusal of sexual contact affect whether a woman was pro moted or received a raise? Many women are afraid their complaint will be shrugged off by higher management, leaving them in the difficult position of returning to work for a supervisor who is aware of the attempt to report him. There are also economic ramifica tions of harassment, he said. If a woman resigns, it is unlikely she will get a good job rating or be eligi ble for unemployment compensa tion. The legal alternatives fall in two areas: first, state tort law which gen erally covers unpermitted contact under assault and battery; second, specific anti-discrimination statutes under what is called Title VII. Seymour said Title VII has been interpreted by many courts as pro tecting not only the employee’s fi nancial status from discrimination but also the employee’s emotional well-being while on the job.

State law usually allows a longer time, normally two years from the time of injury. From a corporate point of view the law article suggested some guidelines for employers. They are: — Make an unequivocal state ment that it is not a company policy to condone sexual harassment. Make sure it reaches every em ployee. — Conduct reviews of supervi sory decisisons to hire, fire and promote employees. — Have a way for the employee to reasonably notify someone in high management of a harassment incident. — Once made aware of the exis tence of a problem, make a prompt and adequate effort to investigate and resolve the issue.
