By Jennifer Glickman
Staff Writer
An associate professor of biochemistry at the university's Health Sciences campus expressed displeasure with the Faculty Senate's newly approved harassment policy, calling it "the result of fear."
Luisa Raijman said a policy against harassment "must not be the result of fear, which, in my opinion, is what it is. . . . It is garbage."
grievance if it is going to take three or four years to have a decision made on it," Raijman said. She felt that the time delay might discourage victims to come forward, leaving <the ha-rassers unpunished.
Although Wood could not be reached for comment, she did say in the February / March issue of the Faculty Newsletter that the senate has been working on a harassment policy "for almost a decade."
Wood also stressed in her arti-
conduct must be demonstrated to be both persistent and pervasive."
Furthermore, the new policy calls for the destruction of all records regardless of the outcome of the case, while the policy in SCampus calls for the destruction (Continued on page 3)

Three recall exciting experience of being on television game show

"The effect (of going through the entire procedure) is much greater than the act of harassment itself. These things destroy people," she said. "It shouldn't hang around your life for any longer than necessary."
In response to Faculty Senate President Nancy Wood's April 15 memo attached to the new policy asking for faculty members' opinions on it, Raijman sent a letter to Wood complaining that the policy may actually protect the harasser rather than the one being harassed.
"It is useless to bring up a
cle that harassment is not always sexual, and many forms of harassment occur on a daily basis.
The new policy, titled "University Procedures in Harassment Cases," differs from the policy found in SCampus titled "University Policy Against Sexual Harassment."
SCampus gives a definition of sexual harassment, adding that "a single incident ... is sufficient grounds for investigation and . . . discipline." The new policy does not define harassment and requires that "such

Only four schools — Harvard University, Penn State, SMU and USC — were chosen to compete on the "Wheel of Fortune's" College Week program, which aired prime time on Channel 13 last week from May 16-20.
The selection, further testing of .contestants and interviews were all done at the Topping Student Center April 18, while the actual game was filmed the following Saturday. Out of the four schools, the top three
schools were selected.
Although USC did not quite rank in the final winning schools, three students from USC out of the 125 competing made it to the final cuts for College Week.
One of the three students, Lynne Pregenzer, a sophomore majoring in philosophy and political science, said she alway wanted to be on television. Pregenzer said that when she noticed the ad in the Daily Trc », she was the first to seek the opportunity of being on the show.
"It was something fun to do," she said. While a little bit unprepared and not yet adjusted to the shock of making it to the final cuts for television, Pre-
genzer recalled she barely had enough time to shop for new clothes before noon on Saturday, April 24.
At the studio, Pregenzer, finally realizing that she was now going to be on national television, began to get nervous, as she said, "Oh! my gosh! I'm on TV."
Excited and __^dy to win "big" money, Pregenzer noticed that the wheel was much smaller than on television and that Pat Sajak was reluctant to speak to the contestants. Even Vanna White had changed slightly, for like the actual wheel, she appeared quite smaller in real life.
