Sexual harassment hits Navy again
SAN DIEGO — After Tailhook, the Navy made its sails and aviators go to sexual harassment seminars. It gave them hot line numbers to report problems. And it sternly warned anyone that harassment would hurt careers.
And yet another scandal has emerged, this time at a Navy training school where seven instructors are accused of demanding sex from female students in exchange for passing grades.
No charges have been filed, and the investigation is far from over, said lk. Patrick Dennison, a Navy
representative. But the furor has critics wondering whether the Navy will ever change.
Instructors at the Training Center in San Diego are accused of verbally and physically badgering 16 female students and threatening that their grades would suffer if they didn't comply. The abuse occurred more than 18 months.
Some of the women said they were grooped. Dennison said.
The scandal was first reported in the Nov. 14 issue of Newsweek and occurred at the Internal Communications "A" School of the Service School Command between March 1993 and September of this year.
A surly midterm campaign sure to increase Republican clout in Congress closed yesterday with President Clinton imploring voters to keep Democrats in control. The fight for the Senate and several state houses was so tight it hinged on which party proved best at getting voters to the polls.
Republicans hope to gain more seats in election
The Associated Press
The night before the election, a new national poll showed Clinton's approval rating over 50 percent for the first time in months, and Democrats running even with Republicans when voters were asked which party's candidate they planned to support for the House.
But the good news for Democrats was tempered by the 73 percent of the ABC News poll respondents who described themselves as dissatisfied or angry voters. Clinton rode such discontent to the White House two years ago, but this year those voters said they favored Republicans.
Democrats felt better about their incumbents' chances in the combative Senate contests in Pennsylvania and Virginia. But Republicans were still within reach of the Senate majority.
By itself, that would dramatically reshape the second half of Clinton's term, forcing him to regroup on issues such as the balanced budget amendment, health care and welfare reform.
Gaining the 40 seats necessary to control the House for the first time since the Eisenhower administration was hardly out of the GOP's reach. Republicans also predicted gains in statehouse contests, though not of the scope they anticipated just a few weeks back.
With many neck-and-neck races, the parties could agree that turnout operations would be the key in some Senate races that will decide who runs the chamber come January and in a few close statehouse battles as well.
Republicans had the history of midterm on their side and predicted they would have better-than-average gains because of voters angry with
Clinton and a federal government they view as too big and too expensive.
Democrats have a 56-44 Senate majority, meaning Republicans need a seven-seat gain to capture that chamber for the first time since 1986. Democrats conceded the GOP was well on its way, heavily favored to gain Democratic seats in Maine, Ohio, Arizona and Tennessee.
Republicans also led in a second Tennessee Senate contest as well as in the Oklahoma race for the seat of retiring Democrat David Boren. Success in all those would give them six, and the GOP had decent odds for Democratic seats in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Virginia as well.
