is to please file a formal grievance." she said
Ken l.ehrmnn. director of the Office of
Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity,
said the University cannot disclose any
information on sexual harassment charges
brought through the office because it would
violate confidentiality.
Lehrman’s office can’t even disclose that
there is a case, he said.
The two people passing out leaflets also
distributed a pamphlet published through
the Office of the Dean of Students They told
students that the pamphlet was missing the
180-day statute of limitations on sexual
harassment charges and that they should be
aware of their rights concerning that statute.
Lehrrnnn said if a person did not file with
the Office of Affirmative Action within 180
days of the incident, it's very difficult to
make a charge that will fie investigated
A representative of the Office of the Dean
of Students said omitting the statute was a
mistake. The statute will bo included during
the pamphlet's next printing.
Concerning the sexual harassment issue at
the University. Lehrman said about five for
mal cases are investigated each year
A person with a charge of sexual harass
ment can either file a grievance, where no
action will be taken; file a formal grievance,
when? the University investigates the charge
and it becomes a permanent part of the
employee's ret ord; or the person cannot
report, he said
Sexual harassment has heen an issue at
the University in the past
According to an article that appeared in
the Aug 5 edition of USA Today, several
female students complained in 1992 when
male students pulled nude pictures off of
Internet and sent them to the women.
When the University adjusted the termi
nals to prohibit transmissions, the men dis
played the pictures on the walls of the
computer room.
"It was very humiliating. Female students
were afraid to work at night or alone," an
associate professor said in the article.

PRISON

g rugate.
"This was pretty poor living
conditions." said prison spokes
woman Lori Fitzpatrick, peering
up at the five tiers of cells,
where rays of sunlight reflected
off of the building's dusty win
dows.
"The inmates used to break
those windows in the summer
because it was so unbearably
hot. Then they'd freeze in the
winter until the windows were
fixed," she said.
The state installed fencing
along the tier railings when it
took over the prison from the
federal government. Before that,
inmates occasionally dispatched
one of their own over the sides.
Fitzpatrick said with a shudder
A cutting torch spit blue
sparks a few cells away us a
worker cut up steel bars Out
side, crows prepared to start
knocking down the walls with a
wrecking ball. Prison superin
tendent Fldon Vail said it could
take weeks to complete the
destruction.
Not even the man who wrote
The McNeil Century, the grim
history of the grimy cellhouse,
was stirred by its demise.
"I feel no sadness at all." his
torian and author Paul VV Kevo
said Monday by telephone from
his Richmond. Vo., home.
Karlier cellhouses were torn
down decades ago, said Kevo,
whose Imok traced the history of
the prison, opened by the feder
al government in 1B7S.
The old building "is definite
ly from a different philosophy of
corrections.” added Sandy
Carter, on associate superinten
dent at McNeil.
Nowadays, she said, prisons
are going to the "direct supervi
sion model" in which the staff
lives with the inmates and con
trols them through constant
observation and communication.
The approach relies more on
"interpersonal skills" than stone
walls and steel bars, she said.
Hut if those walls and bars
could talk!
Keve said the infamous Char
lie Manson, later convicted of
the Tate-LaBianca murders in
California, spent a few years at
McNeil for auto theft in the mid
1960s, where ho "stood in no
high regard to anyone and was
irritating to many, though he did
well enough performing at
inmate talent shows.”
Alvin Knrpis, a 1930s-er,igang
ster who rode with Ma barker
and was personally arrested bv !
Edgar Hoover, spent the last sev
en of his 33 years in prison at
McNeil. He was released in I960
and died in Spain a decade later,
Keve said.
The "undisputed boss of i.os
Angeles gangdom." Mickey
Cohen, spent four years at
McNeil for tax evasion and was
released in 1955. Keve said.
"The building is an antique,
and there aren't many like it
around anymore." Vail said
