Reaction to policy varies among A&M groups
Continued from page 1
Kevin Carreathers, committee
member and director of A&M's
Department of Multicultural
Services, said he does not be
lieve the new policy will cause
problems for groups, including
black and international stu
dents.
"I think some people believe
the new policy will hurt their
cause, but I don't believe it
will," Carreathers said.
When asked his opinion of
Mobley's revised statement,
Carreathers said the original
statement might be too long.
"How long can it be? Do we
include left-handed people,
obese people?" he asked.
Carreathers said anyone expe
riencing harassment or discrimi
nation should take their prob
lem to appropriate University
channels spelled out in the pol
icy.
A&M officials are responsive
to complaints when proper
channels are used, he said.
The new statement directs
students to contact A&M's Of
fice of Student Affairs with ha
rassment and discrimination
problems.
Faculty members should con
tact the Office of the Dean of
Faculties and Associate Provost,
and staff should contact the Hu
man Resource Department, the
statement reads.
Dr. Patricia Alexander, chair
woman of the Faculty Senate
Status of Women Committee,
said she supports the new
statement except for the word
"illegal."
The statement should make
clear that individuals at A&M
are protected from all forms of
harassment and discrimination,
she said.
Some forms of harassment
and discrimination are not pro
hibited by Texas law, but should
be guarded against in University
policy, she said.
Alexander said she plans to
propose "illegal" be dropped
from the statement during

Alexander, also a committee
member, said she is confident
Mobley intends to protect all
campus groups from ha
rassment and discrimination.

and discrimination.

Threadgill said many stories
resulted from BATTIPS last sum
mer.
"During the summer we used
BATTIPS a lot," she said. "It
helped us out because we only
had a small number of reporters
to cover all the events and
news
at A&M. It also helps to let them
know we care about their ideas."
The managing editor checks
the machine for ideas and gives
them to the appropriate section
desks.
Kathy Cox, managing editor of
The Battalion, said this semester
BATTIPS receives only one call a
day.
"If people have an idea and it
is important enough to call, it is
something we might want to
cover," Cox said. "BATTIPS is a
good idea because it provides
people with a way to call and
leave a tip."
