The 1980-81 CAB Board and the new 1981-82 CAB Board would like to thank all those who have worked hard to make the Campus Activities Board the success it is, and will continue to help it grow in the years to come. Most of all, we wish our graduating seniors the best of luck in everything they do. We would especially like to thank our graduating members: Steve Rossettie Robin Iverson Anita Absey Patti Manning Margaret Tom Ron Taylor Mike Cipot Cheryl McPhee Erasmo Bruno Dorothy Hanley Thank you for all the help and patience you have given us. We also wish our adviser, Dean Michael Machado, the very best of luck in his studies. If it were not for his help, CAB would not be the successful club that it is today.

Wolf Tickets Once again it's time for THK RAM to present its semi-annual wolf tickets to deserving people around campus. Nobody on THK RAM knows when this tradition began, or what the term "wolf ticket" means. In any case, the envelopes please! The "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Princeton" wolf ticket goes to the women's track team, which took an "interesting" detour on its way to a track meet in New Jersey and came back full of Fordham "spirit." The "Mad Bomber" wolf ticket, usually reserved for touchdown-throwing quarterbacks or restless anarchists, this year goes to the 1)-House resident who allegedly dropped a bomb on Apartment D-6.

Apparently most students thought the protest was to be held in the Campus Center Ballroom and were surprised when Birch Bayh showed up instead. The "Why Johnny Can't Count" wolf ticket goes to the members of the USG election committee, who found it necessary to recount the votes in the recent USG elections three times before they got things straight. It's rumored they're all seniors. Good luck, guys. The "1BI-UBU" wolf ticket goes to the intrepid members of Fordham's security services, who conducted an "extensive" search of Duane Library after a bomb scare and then left students in the that Fordham College re building to find out firsthand whether the search was thorough enough.

When, Ring In The New however, we take a closer look, we notice two very disturbing trends.

The Sal- vadoran government's response to the grow- ing political activity of the Church is an in- crease in the violent persecution of Catholic leaders, said Fitzpatrick.

When questioned on the feasibility of the coexistence of the Church and a communist government, Rose Hill Afro-American his- tory professor Dr. Mark Naison said, "The I relationship of the Church and the left cm be a dynamic one." The two forces need not be mutually exclusive since they have a com- mon interest in social change. Dr. Marilyn Young of New York Universi- ty established the Reagan Administration's interventionist stance expressed by Secretary of State Alexander Haig as a "demonstration of will and power" opposed exclusively to leftist terrorism, and dedicated to the prcscr- j vation of our sphere of influence. She said, i "The semantics of machismo or this adminis- tration is something to be truly frightened of." Young said Haig's belief that the Salva- doran government is bent on making neces- sary reforms is a myth.

During his governorship, Rockefeller often (ravelled across the country and abroad for business and political reasons. Under the New York state constitution, the Lieutenant Governor has all the power of the Governor as soon as the Governor leaves the state. As a result, Wilson said, "I was Governor for three years out of [Rockefeller's] fifteen." Wilson still believes that Rockefeller should have attained a higher office. "One of the tragedies of my time was that Nelson Rockefeller was not nominated as President," said Wilson. "He would have been a fine President. It was his own fault ilial he didn't get the nomination. I regard ihat as a tragedy." For many years, Wilson has known ;ind worked with many high ranking politicians. On his inauguration day in 1973, Wilson received a letter from then-President Richard M. Nixon. " '1 look forward to working with you in the next year," Nixon wrote, "that we might further the interests and promote the well-being of all our citizens." Gerald Ford's home Wilson remembers travelling down to Washington, D.C. with then House of Representatives Minority Leader Gerald Ford "with our hats in our hands looking to gel some of our money back." He recently visited Ford's home in Palm Springs, Califor- nia for a Board of Directors meeting for Shearson Locb Rhodes. Both men serve as directors.

Typical of this type of harassment was an incident Contract Compliance Programs of the U.S. Department of The National Advisory Council on Women's Education, Labor is being conducted at Fordham to look Into these and which took place during last year's Boarder Weekend. A freshman woman was verbally harassed in front of a large appointed by President Carter, released a survey in October indicating that sexual harassment of students was showing up more frequently and should be treated as a form of illegal discrimination. Sexual harassment of students violates Federal law prohibiting discrimination in Federally-financed education programs. The Council defined five categories of sexual harassment: • General sexist remarks or behavior including suggestive jokes and stories. • Inappropriate sexual advances including a sexual prop- osition by an instructor toward a student. • Solicitation of sexual activity by promise of rewards. • Coercion of sexual activity by threat of punishment. • Sexual crimes and misdemeanors. Sexual discrimination is also a violation of Fordham Uni- versity's Code of Conduct, which states, "Harassment (verbal or other) or physical abuse of another person, threat- ening or attempting to inflict physical injury or creating substantial risk of such injury to another person on University premises and engaging in lewd and licentious conduct are actions considered violations and are punishable by sanc- tions imposed in accordance with... the University." Cases Usually Handled Out of Court Each year three or four cases involving sexual harassment of female students by male students are brought before Dean Raddock. They are usually handled out of court, how- ever, because the women involved do not wish to bring the cases to trial. Raddock is convinced that more incidents of harassment occur than are reported and encourages more women to call attention to cases of discrimination. "I suspect that there are many women students who could use the adjudication process to deal with harassment but don't," she commented. Adjudication proceedings include a formal statement and a preliminary hearing with the dean of students and a formal hearing complete with counter evidence and witnesses before the Student Conduct Committee or the dean of students. Adjudication procedures are always handled by either Raddock or Dean Perhac. College deans handle complaints concerning faculty. "Women should not take an appeasing attitude," Raddock added. "I don't believe women should have to put up with hostility. There comes a time when incidents should be written up and brought before the administration. Repeated harassment eventually undermines self-esteem and sooner or later you start to think you deserve it." A major problem with sexual harassment is that the victims often feel Isolated and try to deal with harassment, even when severe, by themselves. "Sexual harassment is everywhere. The best thing to do Is to Ignore it rather than make a big deal.of,It" js a typical reaction. "I wonder to what extent some women will,allow them- selves to be mistreated before they'll do anything," said Raddock. "Some are afraid that If they bring charges against the harasser, their own friends might not respect their action." Despite existing problems, the atmosphere for women at Fordham has improved greatly In the past two years as. a result of efforts by students, faculty and administrators. Two years ago, Dean Raddock was asked by University President Rev. James Finlay, S.J., to submit a report on "What Fordham Should Be Doing For Women." What fol- lowed were many "supportive gestures" on the part of the A Matter Of Gamesmanship administration to help women in the University. The Association of Women Faculty has been formed to examine women as employees of the University, problems relating to the education of women and women's studies, and content of the University curriculum. Women at Rose Hill is a student organization designed to raise the profile of women on campus.

RAMPARTS/3 'Very Talented & Able:' Women Here Are 'Selling Selves Short' By Carolyn Farrar "Generally speaking, Fordham women sell themselves short," said Dr. Michael Collins, Associate Dean of Fordham College and former College freshman dean. "They are very talented and very able but they tend to sell themselves short. Maybe not so much while they're at Fordham," he added, "but with respect to what is possible for them later on." Unfortunately, Collins' appraisal of Fordham women ap- pears to be consistent with recent studies of students at Fordham as well as at other schools across the country. In a story appearing in The New York Times last year, a recent study reported college women still avoid careers in male-dominated fields, in favor of those traditionally female jobs. The study, conducted by Pearl Kramer, chief economist for the Long Island Regional Planning Board, concluded that If women "continue to cling to traditional female-intensive professions," the gap between their earnings and those of male college graduates will remain wide.

These^are some of the problems women faculty and administrators at Fordham and other colleges and universities across the country say they face in the world of higher education. Sexual harassment might be added to this list of com- plaints because of recent revelations in The Ram (April 23) that a former professor at Fordham has taken legal action against the University charging that she was fired after she refused sexual advances from her department chairperson Although the number of-female faculty members at both Fordham and at colleges and universities nationwide has significantly increased in recent years, a 1980 report by The National Center.for Education Statistics indicates that wom- en remain in the lower ranks and salary brackets, lack tenure, and compose a "substantially lower" proportion of all faculty. Many Rose Hill women faculty and administrators are partic- ularly identifying with such concerns In light of the Universi- ty's future fiscal worries and past traditions. According to Executive Vice-Presldent Paul J. Reiss, "I have felt for many, many years it is important for Fordham University to be very clear with respect to its commitment to women as students, faculty, and staff. It is important for us to manifest that commitment and to implement it. We have to Association of Women Faculty & Administrators Co Chairpersons Gienda Palmer & Dr. Reesa Vaughter give more expression to it than to men because with respect at the positions they were hired at."
