risk if the Soviet Union continues its
efforts to thwart the Baltic republic’s
independence movement.
But Shishlin said further pressure
in the situation “can . be coun
terproductive” and theunited States
should stay out of the issue.
“Let us try and solve our own
problems,” he said.
Shishlin said defiant republics like
Lithuania, Azerbaijan, and Armenia
should wait and let Gorbachev insti-

reunifying,” Trzeciakowski said.
"The problem is that this reunifica
tion should be within the framework
of a united Europe. If this happens
within this framework of Europe,
then we would have no objections.”
Trzeciakowski, a member of the
Council of Ministers, said Poland
wants a united Germany to join
NATO.
"We are afraid if this does not
happen, this may create real dangers
for its neighbors,” he said.
Trzeciakowski said the Polish peo
ple became nervous when West Ger
man Chancellor Helmut Kohl hesi
tated last month to publicly say that
Germany had no intentions of an
nexing portions of Poland that for
merly belonged to Germany.
“That is the reason why we want
tute policies to restructure its gov
ernment from a Unitarian system to
a federation or a confederation of
states.
Turning to the upcoming reunifi
cation of West and East Germany,
Shishlin said it is “inevitable” and .a
“reality.”
“In my personal opinion, it (Ger
man reunification) isn’t dangerous,”
he said. “But it’s necessary to com
bine reunification with the process
of insuring European security.”
He said the Soviet Union would
to be involved in negotiations deal
ing with Polish matters,” he said.
Trzeciakowski said the United
States can be of the most benefit to
Poland by influencing international
organizations, such as World Bank,
to invest and loan.
“The role of the United States is
not of being a direct donor at the ex
pense of the American taxpayer,” he
said. “The role of the U.S. is as the
leader of the Western world.”
Poland presently has a $40 billion
debt and an inflation rate that just a
few months ago was climbing at al
most 100 percent.
The government decided to cope
with the inflation rate by implement
ing a strict monetary policy in Jan
uary, involving credit constraints
and a fixed exchange rate.
The inflation rate was climbing 78
percent in January, but following
the strict monetary policy, it
like a united Germany to be neutral,
but he is afraid it is an unrealistic
goal. Bush has said he wants the
united Germany, which will become
a reality by late 1991 or early 1992,
to become part of NATO.
Shishlin said that rather than con-
centfating op whether Germany re
mains part of NATO or becomes
neutral, military alliances are becom
ing outdated.
“I want to think about a Europe
without military alliances, without
NATO, without the Warsaw Pact,”
dropped to 24 percent in February.
It was down to only a six percent
climb in March.
“We can state with optimism that
we have reached the point of con
straining inflation,” he said.
Trzeciakowski noted Poland’s eco
nomic success in stabilizing its cur
rency with the U.S. dollar and its
move to a consumers market from a
f troducers market. It marked the
irst time Poland has had a consum
ers market in 40 years.
Despite the good economic news,
Poland is not out of trouble.
Polish production fell by 30 per
cent during the first three months of
the year and unemployment is ex
pected to rise.
The unemployment rate is only
1.5 percent now, but Trzeciakowski
said the figures don’t encompass
workers who were placed on leave
because of poor production levels.
he said. “I want to think about a
common Europe.”
Shishlin also predicted the world
wide influence of the two superpow
ers will decline because relations
have continued to improve since
Gorbachev came to power in 1985.
“During the upcoming years, the
two superpowers have and must play
an historic role in order to open a
new era — an era of cooperation be
tween different countries, different
cultures, different societies.”
“We inherited from the Commu
nists a completely disbalanced econ
omy, externally and internally,” he
said.
He said the government must
change its policy of tight money or
unemployment rates may reach un
bearable heights.
Trzeciakowski will advise Polish
government officials about how to
slow the recessionary tendencies
Monday, but he didn’t want to say
what he plans to recommend.
The Polish minister said the Cold
War is now “non-existent,” but he
feels trouble lies ahead if Soviet
President Mikhail Gorbachev contin
ues to pressure Lithuania.
“There are great dangers con
nected with the situation in Lithua
nia,” he said. “I am very much afraid
Mr. Gorbachev may be forced to use
force, which may change the entire
policy of perestroika."

ads, and the popular Guess jeans,
which contain fast-action scenes with
a focus on women’s breasts and but
tocks. In 1990, women are exploited
to the point that they can be pur
chased in publications like Rolling
Stone and The Village Voice, she
said.
Pornography is another industry
responsible for the poor image that
women have.
“The basis of .pornography ts that
all women are whores,” she said.
“Women are portrayed simply as ob
jects, never getting enough sex.”
The United States, said Dines, has
more pornographic material than
anywhere else. It is a big business in
this country that, with higher prof
its, will continue to exploit women.
Dines said there is a noticeable
relationship between a woman’s ex
ploitation in the media and sex
crimes committed against women
“In a lot of films women are tet
rorized and tortured,” she said.
“You don’t have to have a motive to
kill a woman because they are por
trayed as objects readily available,
and equally disposable.”
The United States is the rape capi
tal of the world, Dines said. Being a
woman in this society is like being a
target. If you happen to be poor or
black, she added, you are an even
bigger target.
In order to fight these images of
women. Dines said people should
join together and eliminate all por
nography from their communities.
She also urged them to join Chal
lenging Media Images of Women, a
group based in Cambridge, Mass.
CMIW has been protesting, through
letter-writing and boycotts, the
images of women in mass media that
are sexist and abusive.

meetings to us and some don’t,”
Saatkamp said. “It is totally within
their right to keep those records to
themselves. They do what they de
cide to do. This particular caucus
did not report to the Faculty Sen
ate.”
Saatkamp said that since the Fac
ulty Senate did not receive any
material, there was no material for
the Faculty Senate to destroy.
In a Feb. 1 article in The Battal
ion, Assistant Attorney General D.
Elliot Branson, legal counsel to the
A&M system, said there is no evi
dence that the motive for the move
was to chill Ayoub’s free speech.
If officials were trying to punish
Ayoub, Branson said, they could
have taken other action, such as dis
missal.
Disruptive activity is grounds for
the initiation of dismissal procedures
for tenured professors under A&M’s
Policies and Procedures Manual.
The Faculty Senate subcommittee
report said the alleged specific dis
ruptions were: gossiping with faculty
members about other faculty mem
bers, criticizing administrators and
other faculty members, refusing to
be reviewed by Dr. Jo Howze, de
fendant and head of the electrical
engineering department, and hav
ing loud and abusive emotional out
bursts in the halls.
According to Black’s order, the
evidence was that Professor Ayoub
never personally moved to his new
office and was ultimately allowed to
return to his former space.
Black said there was only a trace
of evidence that Ayoub ever spoke
about any pay disparity against for
eign-born professors. Rather, Black
said, all reasonable inferences
pointed to Ayoub only being con
cerned about his personal alleged
pay disparity.
Many of the higher paid employ
ees in his department were foreign-
born and, if Ayoub had a lower pay,
the problem arose when he was
hired some 20 years before the suit
was filed, Black said.
For further reason to grant the
dismissal. Black noted that as a mat
ter of law, the defendants who or
dered Ayoub’s move are protected
by qualified immunity.
Qualified immunity is a legal
guarantee that there will be no pun
ishment or liability if certain condi
tions were not violated.
Additionally, Black said, the jury
totally disregarded the testimony in
the case and that there was no evi
dence that Ayoub’s death was, in any
way, caused by the alleged retalia
tory conduct of the defendants. The
only damage alleged is for the
moved office.
“The jury award of $250,000 for
actual damage was more than
grossly excessive and was totally un
supported by credible evidence,”
Black said.
Deborah Brown, assistant to Jim
Hill and a Longview attorney who
represents Odessa Ayoub, said the
decision will be appealed because
they feel the jury’s verdict was cor
rect.
“The jury’s verdict should be al
lowed to stand,” Brown said.
The case will be referred to U.S.
5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New
Orleans.
Robbie Malone, a senior staff at
torney at A&M told the Bryan-Col-
lege Station Eagle the appeals proc
ess would take several months to
resolve.
The defendants in the case are
Herbert H. Richardson, deputy
chancellor of engineering for the
A&M system, John E. Flipse, direc
tor of the Offshore Technology Re
search Institute, Carl A. Erdman,
executive associate dean of engi
neering, Leroy S. Fletcher, a me
chanical engineering professor, and
Jo W. Howze, head of the electrical
engineering department.
