Texans obliterate Quakers

\ The rumbling, stumbling Tex-
ans of Tarleton State are proving
their two-game winning streak is for
real. Their huge win in Ohio this past
Saturday gives the proof-"they're
back."
This past Saturday the Texans
took to the air; no, not by the arm of
Jimmy Hering or Albert Martinez,

their trip really began.
The victim was Wilmington
College and a 44-14 victory was the
outcome for the visiting Texans.
Derick Hamilton started the trip
for the Texans by returning a Quaker
kick-off 35 yards down to the
Wilmington 45. Quarterback Jimmy

was in charge of the ground crew and
rambled his way in from the one.
The trip was on and a seven
point lead would be a lead they would
never relinquish. *
Defense, good solid purple de-
fense, was one reason why the Tex-

Steve Sikes blocked a would-be punt

white a 14-0 lead.

TSU releases policy on harassment
By Michelle Cox
Reporter
Increased awareness regarding
sexual harassment has heightened
concern and sensitivity from
Tarleton State University's ad-
ministrators, employees and stu-
dents.
A procedural policy statement
written in early September offers
clear definitions and resolution
procedures for anyone at TSU
who wishes to express a
grievance concerning harassment.
The statement is nearing final
approval.
"The statement is simply a
measure of good management. It
offers a consistent way of han-
dling the issue rather than man-
agement by crisis," said Jean J.
Calhoun, director of personnel.
In addition, the statement
clearly defines the rights of each
party involved as well as
alternate and appellate options
toward a solution.
Following acceptance of the
statement the personnel depart-
ment will plan workshops for the
purpose of informing TSU em-
ployees of exact procedures and
policies related to sexual harass-
ment.
"Workshops and conferences
of this nature are important to
better serve the students and em-
ployees with issues of the day
that may be bothersome to
them," stated Dr. Dennis
McCabe, president of TSU.
Current policies for all
students and personnel fall under
The Texas A&M University
System Administrative Policy
and Reporting Manual.
The manual defines sexual
harassment, designates
responsibility to the chief
executive officer and supervisors
to implement policies and
requires that appropriate action be
taken in a timely fashion.
The TSU student handbook
offers another source of reference
for university policy. The hand-
book further expresses the impor-
tance of timeliness, right of pri-
vacy and fair procedural policies
available to both parties.
There have been no confirmed
reports of sexual harassment on
the TSU campus to President
McCabe, Rusty Jergins, Dean of
Student Services or Robert G.
Hooper, director of university po-

Teaching and learning opens student room

Reporter
The Non-Traditional Student
Association has opened a student
lounge called The Roosting Room
in the Teaching and Learning
Center. The Roosting Room is
open from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 -
5 p.m. and provides a relaxed at-
mosphere for students to study,
eat,and socialize.
"Non-Traditional Students
have expressed a need for this type
of room for the past year. I am
very excited about being able to
provide this service and
experimenting with it as students'
interest increases," Dr. Mary Ann
Lipford, sponsor of NTSA said. .
The Roosting Room provides
several services. • A telephone is
available for local calls. Two
desks are provided plus shelves for
book storage. A coffee pot, drink
machine and microwave also are
located in the Teaching and
Earning Center.
While at the Roosting Room,
students are encouraged to take ad-
vantage of the educational
services. Teaching and Learning
Center has a video tape collection
on study skills, memory
development and self-confidence.
These tapes can be viewed in a
classroom at the Teaching and
Learning Center or taken home.
The center also provides cornputei
programs, such as Algablaster, and
tutorial services.
The room is the greatest help
to commuters, Rachael Hathorne,
President of. NTSA said. "We
have a great many students who
drive from out of town that need a
quiet place to relax, study, store
books or simply have a cup of
coffee. The snack bar is too noisy
to study and the library does not
allow food or drinks."
Although the room is open, it
is not finished. NTSA will be
adding a bulletin board for com-
munication purposes. The spon-
sors hope people will donate a
couch and new chairs.
If enough students are in-
terested, NTSA will open the
room at lunch and from 5-6 p.m .
Students speak at
national symposium
By Julie Grider
Editor in Chief
Four graduate and undergradu-
ate students from Tarleton State
University will present papers at the
National Women's Symposium in
Abilene held today through Sunday.
This year's symposium is en-
titled "The Role of Women in the
Past and the Road Ahead." The
students' papers will deal with the
role of women as portrayed in se-
lected works of realist writers and
interpreted in the light of the nonfic-
tion works of Thorstein Veblen and
Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Ms.
Veleda Boyd, a Tarleton English
teacher said.
The students selected for the
presentations are Joan L. Richmond,
a lecturer in the English department,
who will present her paper over the
author Charlotte Perkins Gilman;
Mary Elkins, a spring '91 graduate,
will not be at the symposium, but her
paper on Edith Wharton will be pre-
sented; Manuel Alvear, a senior,who
will speak on William Dean How-
ells; and Douglas Mathew Conklin,
a teaching assistant in the English
department who will present his pa-
per on Henry James.
The students will present their
papers as a panel on Saturday mom-.
ing at the conference. Then with
Boyd acting as moderator, the stu-
dents open the flow for questions.
The students began these proj-
ects through the mentotship program
on campus,
"This is a federally funded
program which encourages teachers
to work with selected students on
research projects. The professor is
then released from one section of
teaching to work with the students as
mentors," Boyd said. "The papers
which result-can either be given at
conferences or put out for publica-
tion."
Six teachers from various de-
partments on campus were selected
as mentors last spring.
Dr. Alice Cushman of the En-
lish Department will also present a
paper at the conference entitled
"Men's Rules, Women's Lives: 18th
Century Conduct Books and Eu-
topian Fiction."
Alvear, who® paper will detail
the evolution of women, says he
learned a lot and enjoyed the project
"Women have always lad a vary
strange role in society and the stan-
dards for them have always been
determined by a male-dominated
society.
"I think people are becoming,
more aware; of the double standard
placed on women and that women
are working - to overcome that,"
Alvear said.
