When Harvard students filed towardProf. Jorge Dominguez' Lat inAmer ican politics the first day ofclasses this fall, the first handouts theygot weren't fro m the pro fessor.

They were instead from a grad stu­dent standing out side the classroom ,distr ibut ing papers reminding themthat in 1983 Harvard had disciplinedDom inguez for reportedly sexuallyharassing a junior faculty member .

What used to be a scandal barelywhispered about on the nation's cam­puses clearly has come out of thecloset.

Dominguez, one of the first collegeteachers in the country who had beendisciplined for sexual harassment, wasalso among the first to try to pick upthe pieces of the career. by.returning tocamp us this fall. -., •

And Dominguez, who refused torespond to College Press Service's in­terview requests , also may be the firstto encounter what seems to be a newgenerat ion of sexual harassment prob­lems on American campuses.

While many involved in the attem ptto give harassed women-a-war t~figbt

back acknowledge their efforts slowlymay be driving the proble m off cam­pus, the issue recently has re-emergedin new form.

" The issue has been heating uptremendously over the past twoyears," says Julie Ehrhart of the Pro-ject on the Status and .Education of~Women of the - AsSoCia tion ofAmerican Colleges (AAC) .

"A lot of people are scared about itnow," reports D'Ann Campbell, thedean of women at Indiana Universitywho last summer performed the firstnationwide study of collegiate sexualharassment .

"They don't brush it off the waythey used to," she says.

"Where institutions have made itclear they will not tolerate harassment,80 percent of the complaints havedisappeared," adds Bernice Sandler,director of the AAC's women's pro­ject .

Now people are complaining aboutother aspects of sexual harassment,however .

Students since September have beenforcing colleges to wrestle with unan­ticipated prob lems like what to doabo ut well-publicized sex harassmentcases like Dominguez' once they'reover , how to get campus women to usenew grievance procedures, how todefine just what harassment is, andhow to know if refor m efforts reallyare working. .'

At Harvard, which has one of thenat ion ' .s most str ingent anti­harassment policies, some graduatestudents, for example, want to keeppunishing harassers.

They want to give students the op­tion to refuse to take courses taught by"convicted" harassers for five years.

The same student group says thedecision to have Dominguez co-teach aclass with the government departmentchairman is an unfair attempt torestore what one student calls Dom­inguez' "legitimacy."

to enter the space to be heated. Thebackside of the collector has panelswith an ultra R insulation value, withan aluminum skin. The panels receivea final surface preparation of hightemperature black paint. The watercollector is similarly constructed withpressurized water directed throughpipes installed in the collector. Theheated water is held in a storage tankuntil needed.

Presently, the system is beingupgraded and operated by students intheir Senior Class Project. The initialproject was conceived by Keene andthe Electrical-Mechanical Club in1981. A proposal was submitted to thebudget committee, approved, and in1982 members of the Club began re­furbishing and wiring the building . In1983 the water collector was installed .In 1984 the air collector system was in­stalled . Future plans for the buildingand collector systems include mount­ing the collectors on swivel bases sothat optimum sunlight will be receivedby the collectors during the entireyear.

According to Keene, the payback ona resident ial solar system is too long tojustify installation on houses in mostareas of the country. However, as thecost of electricity increases, andtechnology advances, the paybackperiod will decrease, justifying the in­itial cost. According to some govern­ment sources solar energy could besupplying 23"10 of the nation's energyneeds by the year 2000.

Students interested in this fast grow­ing industry are encouraged to enrollin the Engineering Department'sFundamentals of Solar Energypresently offered each fall, or to con­tact Keene in the Engineering Depart­ment Pod .

In the belly of theirspace ship A/Ian/is a solar collectorshield is being positioned to deflect theintense rays of the sun . Positioning ofthis shield is determined by a devicethat consists of. a thin wire whoseresistance changes as temperature andwind velocity increases or decreases.This change in resistance is transform­ed to an electrical impulse . The im­pulse is then sent to other controllingstations or to monitors inside the spacecraft.

A similar device is in use at RWC,installed in a state of the art solar col­lector on the school's North Campus.According to Mark B. Keene, whoteaches Fundamentals of Solar Energyeach fall at RWC, the device, anAnemometer, senses the sun's energyand allows students to read that energyin BTU/sq. ft.

.' At the North Campus collector site,this. energy translates to heat. Severaltrial and error periods -were requiredbefore an adequate material wasfound that would not deteriora teunder the 300 °F to 400°F temper­atures generated in the collector .

(CPS) - Students who took part ina lot of extracurricular activities inhigh school make the best collegestudents, a new study by the Educa­tional Testing Service (ETS) asserts .

The study , prepared " for ETS byresearch psychologist Warren Will­ingham and called " Success in Col­lege," tracked the college careers ofthe Class of 1983 at nine colleges.

Willingham found that, while highschool class rank and Scholastic Ap­titude Test (SAT) scores are still by farthe best measures of students'academic potential. extracurricular ac­tivities are the truest indicators of all­around college success .

But it is students who dedicatethemselves to one or two activities-not those who may dally in a smat­tering of activities-who go on to dothe best in college, Willingham found.

In essence, the study results tellstudents to "work hard, do wellacademically and, if you want an edge,pick one or two extracurricular ac­tivities and do them well," says DavidPerham, dean of admissions at Col­gate and head of the committee for thenine colleges that participated in thestudy. .

Although the study focussed on ex­tra curr icular activities, its findings"don't take away from the importanceof the class rank and SAT score" inevaluating students' potential, Perhammaintains.

~'Class rank and SAT scores willalways be number one in importanceto admissions officers, " Perham says."but this . study suggests admissionscounselors give a serious look to ex­tracurricular activities."

While Perham says Colgate alwayshas stressed the importance of suchactivities, the study 's findings haveprompted him to "pay a lot more at­tention to the stick-to-it-iveness kidrather than the spread-yourself-thinkid."

Editorial: Holiday Thoughts DIJA Ever Wonder

The Thanksgiving holiday is ancient history. Final examsloom before us. For most of. the college community;

.Thanksgiving is only a very short recess, a necessary break,. ,

between mid-terms and finals. We do not have time to give.thanks. We are filled with anxiety over upcoming exams.

Students and teachers don't really give thanks untilChristmas; The Christmas break, unlike the summer break­which allows us to become completely school bored- is noiso long as to cause us to downshift our scholarly pursuits.But i~ . i~ l?n~, r~~)Ugh to pause an? give thanks, W~ can be;:.thankful that final' exams are .finished and t~ilt Vfe 'Pass~d ,them; J or give thanks that our teachers thought enough .about our education not to pass us. We have time to reflecton past mistakes, bad habits and learn from them. We canresolve these problems, plan new study tactics, organize fothe new semester and renew our intent to become involvedin life on campus . We can look forward to new books andnew teachers. 'We eagerly- await the challenge of new con- :cepts, ideas, brilliance, and inspiration. New loves and new 'and old friendships. . '.

The Messenger staff wishes you all these things. And' i:l'.'.:.-:"j OYOllS holiday season. Most of all we wish you to rekindle

your scholarly spirit. . .

Okay, back to the question at hand.What was it again? Oh yeah, the reac-tion of SLO and the Dean of Studentswhen the first case of AIDS isdiscovered on campus. When I ,brought up this question two issues ·ago, it was interpreted by some as anoff-the-cuff slash, with no real reasonbehind it. In no way was this questionintended to be taken lightly or to beconsidered slashing. It is,or at least itshould ~a real concern of, if not thestudents, certainly those who make thedecisions concerning who lives whereand student life in general. I'll ask thequestion-again-and <Jotjust r hetorical-. ,'.ly; What tisthe' reliction Jof .Su O· and, '"ultimately the OOOIi"f,$tudents going ,.,'" ,to be when the first case of AIDS 'is 'discovered on campus?

Okay, enough of this serious stuff.Did you ever wonder why Almeidadoesn't seem to be able to maintainelectricity for more than two weeksrunning? Speaking of running, howabout our Student Senate President?Is it common practice for people to beelected to such offices when they'refreshmen? I wonder how well hewould have done if he hadn't handedout those cute little pens . It's amazingwhat a little bit of money in the rightplaces can do.

A couple of years ago I closed mylast issue article by borrowing a'quotefrom the little fat dude who scootsaround in his sleigh. This year I'mgonna do it different. First of all, letme just say happy holidays and vaca­tions to all, and, as Bill Harris (youknow, the movie critic) would say,"we'll talk again."

To the Editor:I would like to take this opportunity

to comment on the recent Messengerart icles by Andrew Miller. Mr. Millerhas been using unrelated headlines tograb the attention of the readers, and ,unfortunately all of his articles havebeen useless, boring and immature.The use of unrelated headlines didn'teven work. The only reason I read hisfirst article was because a friend toldme how bad it was, and Ididn't believe him. After readingit, I had to agree. The rest of hisart icles ....,have been embarrasingly bad. I couldtake ALL of the coherent thoughtsthat "ave been written in ALL of thearticles, write them on the back of apostage stamp, and still have enoughroom left to write my name and ad­dress . Read ing one of his articles islike listening to someone talk in hissleep . I hope Andrew will cut out theunrelated headlines, babbling. andwhining in his future articles . Andrew• if you want to whine and complain ,call your mother. don't waste space inthe Messenger.

·RIP IRG Concerns

Mark Williams

Dear Editor:

During the last school year, studentssigned a petition in support of aRIPIRG chapter on our campus.Then, in a referendum, students voted2·1 in favor of the establishment of aRIPIRG chapter at RWC . Domocracyin action? Unfortunately no. The Stu­dent Senate at the end of last seIIiestervoted 5-4 against the establishment ofa RIPIRG chapter here on campus.What happened? First some back­ground.

RIPIRG is a non-profit .non­partisan organization that is part of a

. national PIRG network comprisingwhat is now the largest studentorganization in the American history.The aim of the group is to work on en­vironmental issues and consumerrights and other public interest affairs.

Our school should be a part of thi smovement and contribute ourresources to the protection of the en­vironment and the advocacy of con­sumer right s. Many students take in­ternships so why not research a subjectthat will benefit the people of thisstate? Some of you may contend thatyour home is elsewhere but rememberthat you spend most of the year in astate with over 80 known toxic wastedumps (5th worst record in thenation) .

The overwhelming results of thepetition drive and the referendum in­dicate that students want to be a partof this movement. When will the stu­dent senate oblige the will of the stu­dent body?

huh? I ' suppose it's just as well, theplace never seemed to be openanyway. I 'wonder if the insurance

J.~ '. ; premiums were all paid up . Speakingof insurance, I wonder... nope, nevermind. I'm not going to start, that waslast time.

Anyway, let 's see, so far a few peo­pie have approached me out of the

.blue and complimented me onmy col­umn, others have told me they wereamazed, by.its continuity, a~dap'ltp,er

person, who I suppose Ij~s f~~~ o.f-. I fense to something I wrote, refuses to

even acknowledge my existence, butthere's been only one person who ac­tually approached me and expressed aproblem with something I wrote . Itwas concerning the point I raisedabout the reaction of SLO and theDean of Students - Wait - Everybodystop - Please excuse this interruption,but there is something I have-to knowbefore I go any farther. Just exactlywhen the hell did the Dean of StudentsOffice acquire division stat us? Do theyoffer courses? Are they accredited? Iwonder if this "improvement" makesKaren Haskell a division coordinatoras well as theDean of Students.

Once again, 1 apologize for thedisturbance, but that question hasbeen bothering me for a while now .From now on I'll try to stop breakingup the art icle in this manner, buthey,it's the last issue, and I'm allowed towrite like' Andrew Miller if I wane(Good God, what am I saying").
