Harassment booklet to come
By STEVE CUSICK Staff Reporter

Although the University's sexual harassment policy took effect last spring, KU officials say they now have to work out word to students and school emplopes.
They also must update several University regulations to accommodate the need for a new building.
Chancellor Gene A. Budig approved the policy in April and copies of the new procedure were distributed to departments on campus.
The new policy, which was adopted by the University Council in January, prohibits sexual harassment at the university in the classroom and on the loft.
It specifically prohibits any behavior that represents repeated or unwanted sexual attention or sexual advances as well as being involved in academic or employment performance.
The office of affirmative action, which handles claims of sexual harassment under the new policy, did not
receive any complaints this summer.
Juanta Wheele-Elnhorn, assistant
manager, receives complaints.
The affirmative action office hopes to put out a pamphlet detailing steps to take in case of harassment at the University. Wheble-Einhorn said.
Besides letting students know of the procedure, KU officials also need to bring many University regulations in line with the new policy, said Jeannette Johnson, assistant to the executive vice chancellor.
One of the changes needed is adapting the sexual harassment policy to the affirmative action grievance procedure.
Whete-Elhonor said her office, which will get a new director in January and now has only two staff members, would be working with administrators and student and faculty to bring the regulations update.
"We need someone to go through to see what inconsistencies there are," she said. "We do want to get a pamphlet
out, but right now we've been bogged down in a lot of things."
Whiele Elhahn said victims of sex-
talking were usually alone, but

Mary Trieschmann, a 22-year-old graduate student in special education, said she was not familiar with the new polycv, but it was welcome news.
"we would like them to come here if
they were able to be helpful," she said.
But, she said, the University needs to publicize the procedures to students.
"If sexual harassment exists we want it stopped."
Trieschmann said she would like to see the University place around campus posters explaining the procedure, she said.
"About half of the people on campus probably don't know it exists," she said. "I read a little bit about it last semester."
Another KU student, Jane Underwood, a Lawrence freshman, also welcomes the new policy, though she too is unfamiliar with it.
"I think it's a positive step, of course," said the 20-year-old Underwood. "I'm sure there is a lot of harassment.
"I have been thinking about it myself," she said. "it definitely think it's something people should think about."
The administration last fall approved two policy drafts on sexual harassment, one for students and one for employees. But a survey of KU students, faculty and administrators indicated that a majority of employees should include students as well.
Under the policy, students and employees may take complaints of harassment to the office of affirmative action.
A representative from the office will hear the complaint and choose a consultant to help mediate the grievance. The consultant can be from the discrimination hearing board or any other part of the University community.
The complainant can call for a hearing before the board if mediation fails or if he or she wants an immediate hearing.
A reduction in the number of audio listening machines made possible a rearrangement of the lab, Ermal Garinger, director of the language laboratory, said Wednesday.
Cuts could benefit lab users
"In order to compensate for the effects of the cuts, we combined two audio labs into one," he said. "We've made the scalp, more efficiently then we did before."
Budget cuts have reduced classes and programs throughout the University of Kansas, but at the Wesco language school, cuts could prove difficult to students.
Garinger explained that 50 tape players in one of the labs were no longer in use. That lab is now used only for video equipment, he said.
For the student, the separation of audio and video equipment has advantages, Garinger said.

And less.
"One advantage is that now we can

schedule a class in the video lab because the language students will be in the other lab," he said.
Cuts for the department included a 30 percent reduction in student hourly payroll. Forty percent of the budget for supplies and maintenance also was cut.
Before the separation, he explained, that language students could be distracted.
The reduction in machines should not be a problem for students, Garinger said, because only 12 to 15 students use the machines at one time. There are 50 machines still remaining in the lab, and even if the number of students using them doubles, they can be accommodated, he said.
The language lab's check-out procedure, which lets a student use up to three tapes outside of the lab, has reduced the tape player usage in the lab and made the machine reduction possible, he said.
