Skits help demonstrate communications^
ftepattalion
BY EMILY R. SNOOKS
The Battalion
Students presented skits to il
lustrate the importance of commu
nication in intimate situations to an
audience of 25 students last night.
“Communication & Relation
ships” was sponsored by Student
Health Services, Health Education
and Aggie Representatives Educat
ing About College Health
(REACH), and it was the final event
observing Sexual Responsibility
Week.
Dr. Alicia Marshall of the De
partment of Speech Communica
tion and Margaret Griffith, health
education coordinator at A.P. Beu-
tel Health Center, coordinated the
event.
Students performed three skits
illustrating the importance of lis
tening, respecting and communi
cating in different intimate situa
tions. An in-depth discussion with
audience members, led by Mar
shall and Griffith, followed each
performance. Scenarios included
situations with persistent partners,
peer pressure, indirect communi
cation and common gender-stereo
typical issues.
The student performers were
Carlos Evans, a senior community
health major, Chad Steitle, a senior
biomedical engineering major. Lau
ra Kamias, a senior speech com
munication major, and Courtney
Liebrum, a senior speech commu
nication major.
Steitle and Kamias performed a
sequence in which gender roles
were reversed, illustrating the im
portance of not stereotyping and
using direct communication.

Seminar addresses sexual harassi
BY MELISSA JORDAN
The Battalion
A University of Memphis profes
sor told students and professors how
research on sexual harassment was
used to improve working conditions
in a Tennessee correction facility.
JoAnn Keyton, from the the Uni
versity of Memphis, said her re
search focused on finding where
sexual harassment occurs in male
and female interactions, the verbal
and nonverbal behaviors involved
with sexual harassment and making
people aware of these behaviors.
Dr. Scott Poole, professor in the
Department of Speech Communica
tion, said Keyton’s research ad
dresses communication between
genders and the creating of sexual-
harassment policies that raise peo
ple’s awareness without stifling the
creative atmosphere of an organiza
tion.
Keyton collected data at the Uni
versity of Western Michigan and the
Tennessee correction facility, where
her results were developed into a
sexual harassment policy.
Keyton said several problems be
came apparent as she began the re
search. She said the legal definition
of sexual harassment, uniformly
used in many organizations, is not
very applicable in most work places.
“People get lost in the legality of
it,” Keyton said.
Keyton said the varying defini
tions and interpretations of sexu
al harassment and trying to main
tain the contextual focus of the
research also served as obstacles
during the experiments.
Keyton said sexual !i
policy should be madtl
specific context o( eac|
tion.
“I really believe|
ment policy] is cultural
textually bound," Keyt
During the research,:
were shown videos oik
with the same two chaiij
