Rep. from
California
third to be
censured
by House
WASHINGTON (AP) - The House
yesterday censured Rep. Charles
Wilson, making the California
Democrat only the third member of
Congress to be so chastised this cen-
tury.
House Speaker Thomas O'Neill
pronounced the censure after the House
voted to punish Wilson for violating
House rules by converting campaign
funds to his own use and for accepting
money from a man with a direct in-
terest in legislation before Congress.
WILSON STOOD with his hands
folded, his head slightly bowed, as the
speaker pronounced his condemnation.
He then walked out of the House cham-
ber.
The censure vote automatically cost
Wilson, whose re-election bid ended in
failure last week, his position as chair-
man of a House Post Office and Civil
Service subcommittee. The House
Democratic Caucus voted two weeks
ago to automatically strip of positions
of authority in the House any member
who is censured or convicted of a
crime.
The decision to censure the veteran
congressman came on a voice vote. It
followed a decisive 308-97 vote rejecting
a motion by Rep. Paul McCloskey (R-
Calif.), to reduce the penalty to a
reprimand.
WILSON SAID in a prepared
statement that "political motivations"
and not the facts caused him to be cen-
sured. "A majority of my colleagues in
the House of Representatives chose to
ignore the facts of my case," he said.
Censure traditionally is the strongest
punishment short of expulsion that the
House can impose. It requires the
member to stand before the full House
while the Speaker admonishes him. A
reprimand, a weaker form of verbal
condemnation, does not require the
member to stand before the House.
Wilson thus joined Rep. Thomas L.
Blanton (D-Tex.), and Rep. Charles
Diggs (D-Mich.), previously the only
members of the House to be censured
this century. Blanton was censured for
inserting obscene language in the
Congressional Record. Diggs was cen-
sured for misusing his congressional
payroll.

State, 'U'groups must deal with
hot issue of sexual harassment

(Continued from Page 3)
action office, her department recently
applied for a grant to "assess and
eliminate the sexual harassment of
students on campus."
If the department receives the grant,
it will institute a two-year program to
survey students about harassment ex-
periences, provide counseling to
students to suggest ways to deal with
harassment, and formulate a model
grievance procedure, Kaufmann said.
CURRENTLY, KAUFMANN added,
there is no specific University grievan-
ce procedure for students who are
sexually harassed. Students wishing to
file a complaint must do so through the
"regular University grievance
procedure," which varies from depar-
tment to department, Kaufmann said.
University employees must follow
"University personnel procedures" to
file a grievance on sexual harassment,
the program assisant added.
Kaufmann said although she and her
colleagues are certain sexual
harassment exists at the University,

they are still unable to discover its ex-
tent because they receive few com-
plaints. Kaufmann said she believes
this is because sexual harassment has
"not been something women have
- talked about." She added women have
also "tended to feel it's their fault."
KAUFMANN STRESSED that per-
sons in her office are "anxious to talk to
any woman who has a problem (in-
volving sexual harassment). "I think
it's important for discussion of the issue
to happen and we're happy to facilitate
that discussion," she said.
According to Kaufmann, the punish-
ment for sexual harassment by a
University employee ranges from
firing, suspension, or a written
reprimand. She said the type of
punishment depends upon the nature of
the offense, which may range from a
sexual innuendo to rape.
If a victim decides to take the issue to
court, she continued, she will most
likely receive reinstatement in her job
and any back pay due her if the judge
rules in her favor. Kaufmann said the

judge is more likely to grant some type
of retribution to the victim rather than
issue punishment to the offender.
KAUFMANN SAID two University
departments are presently drafting
policy statements on sexual
harassment to be distributed to studen-
ts and personnel.
According to Kaufmann, the
statements will most likely include a
definition of sexual harassment, a
University stand prohibiting it, and a
reference to the grievance procedure.
She added the policy statement will
probably be issued within a few mon-
ths.
The Michigan Department of Labor's
Office of Women and Work last month
issued a packet of information for em-
ployers on sexual harassment, accor-
ding to Department of Labor staff
member Gomez.
Gomez said the department has
already distributed the no-costpacket to
approximately 150 employers in the
state.

THE GOALIES ANXIETY AT THE PENALTY KICK
(Wim Wenders, 1973) 7:00-Old A & D
A goalie with a German football team, past his prime, embarks on a series of
extraordinary adventures. Wenders' film was one of the most highly acclaimed
European movies of 1973, and immediately catapulted Wenders into the front
ranks of contemporary directors. "A mystery thriller . . . one of the year's ten
best films."-SIGHT AND SOUND. 35mm.
THE AMERICAN FRIEND
(Wim Wenders, 1977) 9:00-Old A & D
Wenders' film is a medley of great movie directors-Nicholos, Ray, Jean,
Eustache, Samuel Fuller-with Dennis Hopper as the American friend. Bruno
Ganz, Hopper's German friend, gets himself involved in a pretty nasty business
with some pretty shady characters. The action combines Paris, Hamburg, and
New York in a blur of subways, streets, wharfs, and automobiles. Travel and
rock n roll, with a pace that is totally new. In English and German, with
subtitles. Tomorrow: Alain Resnais' PROVIDENCE at MLB
