entitled "Sexual Harassment and Date Rape
and is the major contributor to a nen book.

I he lecture fin used on sexual harassment
in institutions and schools, defining types of
harassment and presenting solutions to prob
lems Act ordtng to Sandler. 70 percent to 00
percent of undergraduate women have expe
rienced some form of stvxual harassment
The phrase sexual harassment' wasn't
coined until 1973 Before that, the term was
'•quid pro quo." Quid pro quo tiecame a tv pe
of sexual harassment where sexual favors
were expot ted in exchange lor advant eluent
for women In addition to the quid pro quo
thing, there was the "hostile environment ."
This is the concept that actions interpreted
as offensive could hinder a woman's ability
to perform at work. Then. Sandler talked
about pure sexual harassment, or sexual
assault According to Sand lor. l '< percent to
Tr> porcont of undergraduate women have
been forced to have sex with someone they
ilul not want to
New tv [aw of sexual harassment have been
given names sui h ns sharking. mooning
or scoping.' signs of increased popularity
Si oping, for example, is when a group of men
loudlv dist uss a woman's attributes, usualIv
in a < afetena, and hold up display curds with
numbers ranging from one to ten They usu
ally sit near the food line, so women cannot
avoid walking hv and being harassed
Sandler also to* vised on legal as[Mx ts of >.< x
uni harassment, such as the "eve of the
beholder" rule .Sandler explained that you're
not [list going to know sexual harassment
w hen you see it because what is felt bv the
v ictim is all that matters !t*gallv. not the [ret
petrntor's intent
“It's not what a reasonable man thinks is
harassment, hut what a reasonable woman
thinks," Sandler said
Now . people call sue for damages under
Title >) And this means that lawyers will be
more eager to take sexual harassment cases
Sandler also spoke of sexual harassment
myths, such as the txmuty myth and the cloth
mg myth The clothing myth suggests that
only women who dress provocatively get
harassed
But, I know that tf you put some women
in a burlap sat k. some men would sav This
is the most attractive woman I've ever seen ."
Sandler said
Sandler was invited bv Saudi Morgan, of
the Tenter for the Study of Women in Set i
etv Professors l.eraldine Richmond and
Marie Vitulli. of the i hemistrv and rnathe
math s departments, also helped welcome
Sandler to the campus The focus of the pro
solliation was supposed to he the i hiltv < h
mate for women in the si iem.es
I know we have a problem," Vitulli said
One indication of the situation is that there
are a larger nuntlier of women getting degrees
m math and si tome, but there are hardly unv
women in the faculty
At cording to Katin Trigueiro, there isn ! a
proiitem She is (i math instructor, and works
with math undergraduates and peer advisers
Roughlv half of the students she works with
are male, and half female But. act ording to
(oliiula Smith, tin* president of the (il l's for
the physu s department, where tliero an- no
women professors, one major problem is that
there seems to lie a higher standard for women
than men "People tend to think that luring
a woman is merely filling a quota." Smith
said "If they were to hire a woman, it would
have to lie someone really good

"With former vice president
ot ASUO and other ASUO ex
ecutives as USSA board mem
bers, the check and balance
system does not exist." the com
mittee said in their request.
"USSA should have an inde
pendent campus leadership."
Collins Puente recently left to
work for the USSA in Washing
ton, D.C. as an intern.
Whether the ASUO will freeze
USSA's funds is uncertain, said
Liu. adding that Francis Neo,
ASUO finance coordinator, has
commented that he sees no rea
son to freeze the account while
auditing the group.
"It's now out of the hands of
the IFC and up to the ASUO."
Liu said.
Neo was not at Tuesday
night's IFC meeting
Though Liu said the IFC
would need an audit to find fur
ther examples of alleged mis
management. Troy Shields, an
active member of 1 SSA. told the
Emrrald last week that he made
several long distance phone
calls on his USSA account but
paid those hack at a later time.
Further charges leveled by the
IFC include funding the group
for campus activities that never
materialized.
In other IFC action Tuesday,
the Young Women's Christian
Association received a 0.3 per
cent decrease in their budget,
bringing them to $2,1H3 for the
1994-95 school year
Oregon Marine Students As
sociation received a three per
cent decrease, bringing them to
$4,506 for next year.
The Journal of Environmental
Law. an IFC supported pub
lication. received a 2 9 percent
decrease, pushing them down to
$7,015 for next year.

group, which in tum. will sub
mit its recommendation to
him on Feb 15.
“This is a good way to
make sure that the University
can hear all of the testimony
and make an informed
choice,” Eyster said. “We
agreed to involve the stu
dents. but everytime a new
option is proposed, students
are kept in limbo, and that's
not fair to them."
“It’s important that Ama
zon maintain its strong sense
of community," he said, "and
because we are taking the
community's suggestions and
information into considera
tion. we are obligated to make
an Informed decision."
in response to the idea that
a moratorium t>u placed on
the Amazon situation so that
everyone knows exactly what
will happen and when,
Kyster said. “Wo wont to keep
our options open and exam
ine each one thoroughly We
want the best decision."
About 10U Amazon units
remain unoccupied because
the University has not given
up the option to demolish
and rebuild.
"It's one of the alternatives
we are looking at." Kyster
said. "We won't let go of the
possibility,"
Kyster said he expects that
housing administrators, hav
ing taken the community's
input into consideration, will
make a decision and
announce the fate of Amazon
sometime in late February or
early March.
