Sexual harassment rules still need work .he changes proposed to Ithaca.College's sex­ ual harassment policy offer solutions to serious Tproblems but also raise concerns about pater­ nalism and privacy. There are two parts to the new policy. First, the new policy calls for a moratorium on romantic relationships between students and faculty or staff members who have power over those students. In the past the policy was vague, and now it certainly is clear. Professors simply may not have sexual rela­ tionships with students who are in their classes, and that's the way it should be. Because relationships between a student and professor affect more than just the two~ ple who enter into it, the college ought to prohibit them. Toe second part of the policy revision is more trou­ bling. Toe changes would require college employees to disclose romantic relationships they have with stu­ dents that are "outside 0f the supervisory, instruction­ al or evaluative conte~t." In other words, even rela­ tionships where the employee has no power. over the student µmst be announced to the employee's super­ visor, and that supervisor must then approve the rela­ tionship and develop a "management plan." If the relationship does not present enough of a con­ Letters flict of interest to be covered under the first prohibi­ tion, why should it be reported to a supervisor?

. . My freshman year in high school had finally·arrived and I thought I was definitely ready for the challenge, both academically and on:the athletic field. And I was. By the end of my sophomore year I had made a name for myself in the classroom and through playing field hockey. I was looking forward to spending my ~ummer playing field hockey in various parts of the country and world. I had the opportunity to train in Holland with the national team coach, and· travel to the Junior Olympics to represent New Jerse:y.

In the fall I returned·home for the high school season~ Only one day into preseason I had horrible pain in my shins. The bad news from the doctors was that I had stres·s -fractures. I was devastated I would need to miss ·most of · that season. Field hockey had become my life, and I felt like my life was over. Everything t~at I had worked for was gone. I couldn't even imagine what my year was going to be like without field hockey.

_My friend KC knew that I was upset, so sh~ invited me to a meeting called Young Life. She had been asking . .me to go for two years. I had nothing better to do so I went, ev~n thoug~ Young Life was a religious organization and I wanted nothing to do with it. I had grown up going to church, so .I thought I already }mew _everything there was to know about Jesus.

The Bible study leader told the biblical story of the farmer and the seed, in which there are 4 different soils that . the seed falls on. One falls on the :path and remains on the surface_, and so the Evil _9ne comes and pluc).cs the·seed out of the person's heart. Another seed is cast in the gravel - this person h~ars.the gospel and responds superficially, but when trouble comes there_is no· depth. The third is cast in the weeds - this person hears the good news, but the · worries of the world str_angle_the growth. The. last is cast on the good soil - this person hears and takes t~e News, and produces a harvest beyond his wildest dreams.. -

At the end of the study· the leader asked us: "What soil are we on, and what soil d9 we desire to be on?" This - uestion lingered in my mind for weeks. lt enticed me tQ go _b~k to J.lie Bible_study every week to hear more about Jesus and his life. My left shin still had not gotten any better. The. doctors di and if was getting worse.

While the mul 1ple dt>ctors' appointm· s·w~ going on I started to meet with the.Hible study leader's ~ife, Kathy. She spent time answering any questions I had about Christianity. She shared her life with me - how God had grown her and brought her through-trials ..Even though I had spent mQst of my early childhood going to Su~day . . . . -.: school, I realized I did not know all there·was to know about Jesus~ Over a period of three IIIOnths she.showed me that God loved me and had a plan _for me, that man is sinful and separated from God, but Jesus was the bridge that would allow us to reach God. All I had to do was believe in full faith and with my whole heart that Jesus-died to save me from eternal separation from God, and I would be able to spend eternity with Him.

As it became clear that I really knew nothing about how _to have a personal relationship with him, one day Kathy prayed with me, and I was able to confess to God that I believed in fuli faith that Jesus was my sa:vior. : ...... ~ ·. .

Being able to trust God with my whole life is t~e best decision I've ever m~de. ,Loo~ng back now a~ where I . was in high school, I can't believe how far God has brought me., changed me, and molded me to be more like him every day. My perspective· coming into my freshman year in coliege was completely different th~n my life perspective my freshman year in high school.~ knew that when I got to Ithaca, I didn't need to define myself_by the 3=.ctivities I was involved in or by my grades.
