Hearings spur gender, race issues
Continued from Page 1
who teaches classes in gender and politics at Ore-
m gej
gon State University. "The hearings took on a sym
bolic significance for issues of race and gender that
cut to the heart of American society."
Harriett Woods, president of the National
Women's Political Caucus, calls the hearings "a
moment of truth when a connection is made be
tween private lives and public policy."
The hearings already are having an effect:
— In the three months following Hill's testimo
ny, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commis
sion received 1,244 charges of sexual harassment.
— a 70 percent increase over the same period a
year earlier.
— Organizations that raise money for women
candidates report a surge in contributions.
"We've raised half a million dollars," says Jane
Danowitz of Women's Campaign Fund. "We ex
pected half of that if we were lucky."
The National Women's Political Caucus also
says contributions have doubled.
Emily's List, which gives money to Democratic
women, anticipates tripling the $1.5 million it col
lected in 1990.
— Three women seeking Senate seats say the
treatment accorded Hill during the hearings was
the stimulus for their candidacies.
Lynn Yeakel, who entered the Pennsylvania
Senate race as an unknown, is in a neck-and-neck
campaign for the Democratic nomination in Tues
day's primary, seeking the right to oppose Repub
lican Sen. Arlen Specter.
During the hearings. Specter questioned Hill
aggressively and accused her of committing "flat-
out perjury."
In campaign commercials, Yeakel, ignored her
primary opponent and used a moment of Specter's
questioning, then asked voters: "Did this make
you as angry as it made me?"
Cook County recorder of deeds Carol Moseley
Braun says the way Anita Hill was dealt with by
the committee was what made her run. Braun up
set Democratic Senate incumbent (and Clarence
Thomas supporter) Alan Dixon in Illinois' prima-
help of
ry, with the help of crossover votes from Republi
can women.
Voter Karen Twitchell of Houston, like a num
ber of other out-of-state women, sent Braun a
check for $500, election records show. Why?
Her check was a response to the hearings, she
said: "They were a disaster run by an all-white
committee of older men."
In Iowa, a third Hill-inspired candidate, state
Sen. Jean Lloyd-Jones is the likely Democratic
nominee to oppose Republican Sen. Charles Grass-
ley, one of Thomas' supporters on the Senate com
mittee.
Students voice concerns about cable fee
Continued from Page 1
the possibility of making change
on that," Rogers said.
Other complaints dealt with
TCA's fees for installation of cable
service.
Referring to installation fees,
the report said "The policy of
charging college students $35 for
merely activating their outlets is
an exorbitant charge in light of the
minimal cost (time and equip
ment) involved. In a dormitory,
this cannot be more than five min
utes at most."
City council minutes of the Feb.
6 public hearing indicated, how
ever, that the installation fee is
$15, not $35. Rogers is quoted in
the minutes as saying that the $15
charge is a "trip" charge and cov
ers administrative costs to set up
the account.
Municon's performance report
also describes deficiencies not
brought out in public debate.
One shortcoming is the asser
tion that TCA stated that it did not
know the date of its last system
upgrade or the extent of that up
grade.
The report said, "If, in fact, the
company does not know this.
there exists in the mindo(tlif|
sultant a major concern as
the company's sense of resi
bility, both as a cable operate]
as the owner/operator of a
ness."
Rogers countered that tl*|
gation was "a misinterpretat
what we had written dowil
form document that they gi I
to fill out."

Library official defends display of paintin

are a number of paintings hanging that I don't partic
ularly like, and some are even offensive to me, but
they're not going to be offensive to everyone.
"A library should represent as many different
viewpoints as it can."
The fact the painting was donated by a prominent
alumnus of Texas A&M did not have any bearing on
her decision, Hoadley said.
"Mr. Krueger is dead and his family has not been
a donor to the library," she said. "This decision
would not be linked to that."
Hoadley said she would be willing to me
painting to a less prominent location.
"Part of the problem is that it's a hugep;
and it needs a big wall to hang on," she said.'

er location to hang it."
Owen said if more people noticed thepaicij
more people would be alarmed. |
"So many people just go by the painting an(l|
er look at it because your in the library andnutra

"Once I just glanced at it, I thought,'Oh
