Assault spurs demands for increased security

"They do get tied up with oth
er incidents," he said.
However, several graduate
students who work in the building
and in the other buildings in West
campus do not agree.
Many of them said they had
never seen any patrol cars in West
campus.
Mary Ann Oprisko, president
of the Graduate Student Council,
said she and other graduate stu
dents and professors are currently
working to change this.
Wiatt said if there are security
light malfunctions or dark areas
that may need lights, they should
be reported through a UPD phone
line that handles such problems.
By calling 845-4448 (84LIGHT),
anyone can inform a UPD dis
patcher where lighting problems
are and have the area examined.
Oprisko said she and several
others called the number to report
the lack of lighting outside Cater-
Matil, but it took several days for
anything to be done. She said she
also reported the problem to Dr.
John Koldus, vice president for
student services.
Wiatt said that sometimes it
does take the plant time to check
for adequate campus security be
cause there are so many areas they
cover.
"The plant has a lighting crew
that takes over the problem as
soon as possible," he said. "If
something happens on Friday, un
less it's an emergency, things can't
get taken care of until Monday
morning."
Koldus reported the problem
also and said the situation was be
ing handled.
Trees around the building that
blocked security lights were
trimmed, and lights have been in
stalled in the doorways of Cater-
Matil.
In addition to the security
problems, Oprisko said there is a
parking problem in West campus.
She said the only parking lot avail
able to graduate students is lot 64,
which also has no security light
ing.
Robert Smith, vice president
for finance and administration,
said he is assessing the parking
needs in West campus, andj;
pecially considering the area';
ture expansion.
"We are in the processoi
velopung a program of reqt
ments for a West campus patl
garage," he said.
Oprisko said she approat
Smith with the suggestioi
building a temporary gravel
ing lot for students to useo
land where the parkinggi
would be built.
But Smith said itwasntf
simple as pouring gravel
area. It is a financial investir,
and a drainage system wt|
have to be built, he said.

would be earmarked for schol
arships and study grants for inter
national students only. Interna
tional students comprise 6 percent
of A&M' student body.
None of the funding from the
fee would be applied toward ad
ministrative functions. It would
all remain in the hands of the stu
dents, Parrish said.
The resolution was tabled un
til the next meeting of the Senate
because of concern that the Sen
ate, and not the student body as a
whole, would be endorsing the
new fee, and as such needed to
consider the matter more thor
oughly. Concerns were raised
about whether the opinion of the
student body was indeed repre
sented by the Senate, and also
whether some type of student
body referendum was feasible.
"The primary reason we're
tabling the resolution is to allow
us to properly gauge student
opinion on this issue," said Sena
tor Bill Van Eman. "Therefore, it
is very important for all of our
constituents to give us as much
input as they' can."
The Senate also decided to
overhaul a resolution giving Sen
ate support of the A&M adminis
tration in its handling of recent al
legations concerning harassment
in the Corps of Cadets. The reso
lution, in revised form, will be up
for vote at the Senate meeting next
Wednesday.
"The resolution is good in the
ory, and the steps taken so far by
the administration have been
good with quick action taken,"
said Senator Jolin Ansbach. "But
this is an opportunity for students
to express themselves and make a
statement against discrimination
in any form.
"The revisions would make
the resolution more than just a
'blank check' approval of Univer
sity actions," Ansbach said.
Academic Affairs Chairman
Brad Hampton, who co-sponsored
the resolution with three other
Senate officers, felt the resolution
was adequately worded and that
the revisions would address a sep
arate issue.
"I think the resolution says
what it needs to say," Hamptoi
said. "The bill is specifics
- it is not a blanket statement
concerned only with the recer:|
cidents."
Hampton said he agreestcj
idea of an anti-discrimination
statement by the Senate.
"I think, however, that it
should be separate from t
iution," he said.

or creates a hostile, offensive or in
timidating atmosphere.
The vast majority of victims
decline to report clear-cut cases of
being touched or threatened with
a demotion. Even fewer are likely'
to stand up against subtler but no
less inappropriate workplace be
havior.
A 1987 study' of federal gov
ernment employees showed that
42 percent of women and 14 per
cent of men said they'd experi
enced some form of uninvited and
unwanted sexual attention. Only'
15 percent of women and 7 per
cent of men said they'd reported
their allegations to a boss or other
officials.
"They think, well, this is life,"
said Lynn Hecht Schafran, an at
torney with the NOW Legal De
fense and Education fund. "You
just have to put up with people
patting you on the fanny, making
comments about your body or
having pornography in the work
place."
Hill's allegations and accusa
tions that the Judiciary Committee
failed properly to investigate
them, have brought to a boil anger
about sexual harassment.
In North Dakota, about seven
calls a day have been coming in at
the EEOC's local office, where the
average usually is about seven a
month.
Potential victims want to know
their rights, said director Jack
Lynch. But few want to identify
their employer and fewer still
have filed complaints.
"Even if they recognize them
selves as victims of sexual harass
ment, many perceive that bringing
it out into the open will only back
fire on them," Gruber said from
Dearborn, Mich.
"The v'ictim goes on trial,"
said Kathleen Neville, who
brought charges against a Buffalo,
N.Y., television station. "I thought
I was viewed as a professional.
But the minute I raised a com
plaint about sexual harassment it
was suddenly like everythij
had done, every personal inteil
tion, even the fact that I wa:|
and single, was called intoqJ
tion."
Activists said victims mav
it easier to come forward
prosecute once they'verealiil
the law is clearly defined. Urn
1986 Supreme Court decision,
ual harassment was ruled a
of discrimination for whichan-
plover may be liable.
