Escort service to begin near end of November
9
By CINDY WHITCOMBE Staff Reporter
An escort service for the KU campus and vicinity will begin Nov. 28. Dan Susan Willis, the Campus Safety Services Escort committee, announced last night at a conference in New York.
The service area will be between ninth and 19th streets and between Tennessee and Iowa streets, with hours of service from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. nightly.
The escort committee has had 70 men and women volunteer for the escort service, according to Schenkel.
"We would like to have at least 150 more volunteers. Ideally, we need 315 volunteers to run three bases," Schenken said.
A base is a location where escrion requests would be received by phone.

Until more people volunteer, the service will operate from one base in Chicago and move to another, Schenken said. Next semester, the committee hopes to set up bases in cities.
THE SERVICE will consist of three-person teams. One person will answer phone escort requests and teams of one man and one woman will do the escorting, Schenken said. During the hours of callers in hunters will be on call at home, he said.
Use of cars in cold weather will be left
up to the discretion of the volunteer, according to Kasey Ward, co-chairman of the personnel committee for the escort service.
Volunteers must fill out an application that requests three references and must provide the name, address, office of the committee, according to George Gomez, vice president of the student body and adviser to the committee. The committee clearly stated that the information given on the form will be available to the KU department and Campus Safety Services.
THERE WAS some question as to whether members of the steering committee had been occurring during the operation of the escort service. Legal sources had advised the committee to get volunteers to sign waiver releasing committee members.
The committee could not be held responsible, according to Gomez.
"Agents of the state cannot be sued and since we are sponsored by the University, we cannot be sued," Gomez said.
There will be a meeting of all volunteers Sunday Nov. 18 at the Kansas Union, according to Todd Zwahl, cochairman of the personnel committee.
"We want the schedule to be completely worked out and ready to go," Zwahl said.

A national union of women workers is the only way to change the male-dominated industry. She has employed, Lin Farley, author of a book about sexual harassment of women workers.

She said such treatment was usually not initiated as a prelude to a sexual relationship, but as a means of gaining power over a woman she was seen as a threat to a man's job security.

"Sexual harassment on the job is oneided, unwelcome attention from a man or men" she said. "It can be anything from a look to rape."
Farley said one of the reasons women needed to organize was to combat the sexual harassment by men of women on the job.

She also said that sexual harassment at colleges and universities played a role in the problem, female students because women thought they couldn't complain and the only way to stop it was to go to college.
She said statistics noted in her book showed that of 200 female police on the streets, only 14 were rated highly and 85 percent of them had experienced sexual harassment or a sexual attack by co-ercive officers.
She said women could document incidents of sexual harassment by taping conversations, or by finding other women at the same venue. They have been approached by the same man.
The topic for competition was "Right to Jurial Trial in Complex Civil Action." The winning KU team will compete in national competition in January in New York City.
"Too many men don't want to work with women as equals," she said. "They express this through sexual harassment."
Farley said sexual advances could only be termed harassment if an element of coercion was involved or if women feared losing jobs if they did not comply with advances.

"I'd like to see a lot more criminal prosecution for serious sexual harassment or assault," Farley said.
But smiling, she said, women often are forced into smiling, or acting as if they enjoy being manipulated because they fear they will fear their chances of promotion if they do not.
Women can seek recourse through offices, such as KU's Office of Affirmative Action, she said.
"If the woman enjoys being touched, then it's not harassment," she said.
"We have to refuse to smile in these situations," she said. "We have to remove the arms from around our shoulders. We quit acting as if we like this treatment."
Farley said sexual harassment was a tool used by men to force women right back in to the "female iob chetto."
Women experience such treatment just as

"The idea that women asked for this kind of treatment or that the women manipulated the man by using sex is a myth," she said. "No woman gets ahead on her back."
