Sexual harassment. amendment rally topic of NOW meeting
By CONNIE SCHALLAN
Staff Reporter
An employer who treats male and female employees differently practices sexual discrimination and possibly sexual harassment, Daniel Renick, education specialist for the Kansas Commission on Civil Rights, told the Lawrence chapter of the National Organization of Women Tuesday night.
The KCRC was established through the Kansas Act against Discrimination in 1953. It investigates race, religion, color, national origin, sex, physical handicap and ancestry discrimination complaints. The commission's jurisdiction covers employment, housing and public accommodations.
Resnick addressed the group, NOW held its monthly meeting. At the meeting, they discussed NOW's goals.
NOW'S GOALS ARE to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, ensure reproductive freedom, and establish lesbian rights. Many people feel that in the current conservative political and moral atmosphere, the acclimatization is threatened. NOW's newsletter, NOW Times, reported a sharp increase nationwide in membership applications after last November's election.
"Many people have gotten scared," Clare Novak, public relations director of the Lawrence NOW chapter said. "They've realized that complacency is
no good. They realize that they have to be active."
The floor was then turned over to Resnick who spoke briefly about all the areas that the KCCR investigates. He and harassment in the labor force.
"The commission doesn't have a definition of sexual harassment. However, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, in its infinite wisdom, does," he told the twenty-five women and three men present.
The EEOC is the federal agency that investigates discrimination complaints. Its definition of sexual harassment is "such conduct that has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual's work creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment."
Resnick outlined the procedure a woman should take if she feels she is a victim of sexual harassment or discrimination:
The woman should first document the names, dates and descriptions of the incidents. She should then inform her superior. It is then the superior's responsibility to rectify the situation. If nothing is done to rectify the situation, the woman should contact the KOCR or the EEOC within six months.
A WOMAN MAY BYPASS the former steps, except the documentation, if the harassment or discrimination is from the "head bonho."
"If it is the head honcho that is doing it, just come to us," he said.
The agency then begins investigating the complaint.
"In order to determine discrimination or harassment on the job, we have to look at how employees treat their colleagues treated to compare," Resnick said.
The commission tries to schedule a preliminary investigation settlement within four to five weeks after receiving the complaint. A complaint may take as long as three years to settle if it goes all the way to district court.
"Very few cases go all the way to district court, however," he said. "Our fastest-moving complaints are housing complaints. Housing complaints by law have to be investigated within 10 days. They're a ton priority."
Rennick had encouragement news for those interested in eliminating sexual harassment on the job. The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. ruled this year, in Bunday v. Jackson, that a woman must show only that her work environment was "polished" by her workplace and be rewarded to win a sexual assault case.
Before that case, a woman had to show a measurable or tangible loss.
Rensick also said that women in Kansas were more fortunate than women in some other states because they worked in an "upsetting atmosphere."
State Representative Jesse M.
"Kansas was making progress," Branson said after the meeting. "It was one of the first states to ratify the ERA and to have an effective abortion rights law. However, I feel the pendulum is swinging in the other direction."
Branson, D-Lawrence, was an obersver at the meeting.
"The position of women's rights in Kansas is being threatened a little. We are not making as much progress as we should, or were three years ago."
Branson will be a speaker at NOW's Branson on 17 June Countdown Rally. She will be joined by State Representatives John Hood and Joel Charlton, both, D-Lawrence.
ERA SUPPORTERS, dressed in white, the women suffragette's color, will meet at City Hall, Sixth and Massachusetts streets, and march south on one lane of Massachusetts Street to South Park for the rally.
The main purpose of the rally is to call attention to the ERA as a positive issue. Novak said.
The rally is also scheduled to make people aware that there is only one year left to ratify the amendment, she added. The ERA was approved by the U.S. Senate on March 22, 1972. To become a constitutional amendment, it must be ratified by three-fourths of the 65 states in which it was passed. Tension was approved in 1979. To date, 35 states have ratified, three short of the required 38.
Ray Cyr, 2021 W.17th St., is disturbed
by the current conservative atmosphere. Cyr has been a member of NOW since 1970, and is one of the three members in the Lawrence chapter.
"I think that it is time that men make themselves clear on the women's rights issue," Cyr said. "It is not just a battle for women. Men have to get out there on the front line to stop discriminatory practices."
OPPONENTS OF THE ERA content that women's rights can be obtained through the Fifth and 14th Amendments
and through U.S. Supreme Court decisions.
Novak agreed with Grasso's statement.
The late Ella Grasso, former governor of Connecticut, said in 1971, "History shows that women cannot rely on the courts to achieve their rights." She has said that amendments they have not accorded women the rights they must have."
"If they would have been used to help us, they would have been used by now," she said.
Med Center scientists study recent cancer treatment drug
By JANE FORMAN CIGARD Staff Reporter
KANSAS CITY, KAN.-A chemical compound synthesized at the Mid-America Cancer Center at the University of Kansas Medical Center is used in studies across the country to determine its effectiveness in treating cancer.
The compound, known as DHAQ, for dihydroanthraceredione, was developed three years ago by MACC scientists C.C. Cheng and Robert K.Y. Zee-Cheng from another compound, adriamycin.

"We simplified the structure of adriamycin and came up with the compound we synthesized,"
"We believe we could do something to even modify this compound to a better compound," Cheng said.
A modification of DHAQ that she synthesized has already been sent to the National Cancer Institute, Cheng said.
