Page 8 The Battalion Tuesday, April 2( 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." TCA took over cable TV? I tions in Bryan-CollegeStafe I October 1989. Its current; | franchise runs out in Septa 1994. Library official defends display of paintin Vol. 91 Continued from Page 1 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.' already asked members of my staff to look for 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 paying attention," Owen said.
