The class, which will be conducted in a
seminar style, will divide its time between
the viewing of the video documentaries,
coordinated readings and class discussion.
In addition, Kapoor said he would make a
rare group of books, on Gandhi, available
to students, and that they will be encour¬
aged to explore how the Indian leader's
teachings pertain to their own personal
Noting that the class is not a history or

Gandhi" »t a national conference on "Non¬
violence in Education and Action" in
Black Hills, South Dakou.ln addition,
he is scheduled to address the-National
Conference on Peacemaking and Conflict
Resolution in St. Louis, Missouri, Sept.
20-23. and will coordinate a regional
conference for the states of California,
Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Hawaii,
on non-violence and peace next year.
Dr. Kapoor said he was very pleased
with the quality of students who attended
last semester's Gandhi course, and was
encouraged by the positive effects he per¬
ceived in those students who were at¬
tempting to apply Gandhi's philosophy to
their personal lives.
His concern for non-violenceMn the
home and elsewhere, is beginning to take
him in new directions, and he said: "It is
the direction in which the survival of our
humanity lies. It's very important for us to
know how this planet is going to survive.
So, that's one of my ambitions — to see
that the university sets up a center for
studies in non-violence and peace."
The course can be taken for CR/NC ,
letter grade, or audit. It is open lo anyone
in the community through the Concurrent
Enrollment Program. If interested, con¬

Sexual harassment probed
Uaff writer
Although official reports of CSUF stu-
cnu being sexually harasssed are rare,
\cral campus staff members confirm
in unofficial reports occur on an aver¬
se of once a month.
Gail Webber, women studies coordina-
or and contact person for faculty mem-
>ers who are sexually harassed, said the
icars unofficial complaints of sexual
Harassment from students. Other desig¬
nated contacts for such complaints say
hey have received no reports-official or
unofficial.
A survey of 474 women undergraduates
md graduate students at CSUF in the
.pnng semester of 1981 refelcted a signifi¬
cant number of students being sexually
harassed. The survey conducted as part of
a master's degree research project in social
work by Christina Irrgenito, revealed IS
percent ofthe survey respondents report¬
ing sexual harassment. About 37 percent
(or 177 respondents) said they had wit¬
nessed "one or more male institutional
authorities sexually harassing other female
students.**
But most of the respondents said tbe
harastnent took subtle forms such as "leer¬
ing and ogling, sexual remarks and teas¬
ing, and subtle sexual hints."
Of the U percent who reported sexual
harassment, according to the survey. 11
percent had received an offer of a better
grade for sexual compliance and 1 percent
said they had been sexually assualted or
Ingenito found that of those reporting
sexual harassment no particular type of
student was harassed. However, of the
victim group. 42.9 percent.were seniors,
73.9 percent were Caucasian, and 71.4 per¬
cent were single. Of those described by
students as being harassers, 63 percenL
were Caucasian, 47 percent were married
and 72 percent were professors.
In her analysis of the data, Ingenito
wrote, "These findings do not clearly
point to specific demographic characteris¬
tics of sexual harassement victims."
But all reports agree — the victims are
women and the harassers are men. Only
rarely are the tables turned.
And Webber said these women tre-
quently need professional counseling to
help remove guilt over the experience.

Resolution
urges grads
to educate
A resolution recently passed in the
California Assembly urging college of¬
ficials to encourage students- to become
teachers was definitely needed, members
of CSUFs education department said.
The resolution, authored by Assemb¬
lywoman Theresa Hughes, requests Uni¬
versity of California and California State
University colleges to push teaching as a
career, especially in the areas of math,
science and bilingualism, where the big¬
gest shortage is expected.
The Fresno Unified School District
hired more than 125 new teachers this fall,
compared to the 30 it hired prior to 1983.
Carl Stutzman, chairman ofthe teacher
education department, said teachers have
become scarce because of the baby boom,
a rash of retirements last spring and an
expansion of education because of more
money from the government.
To compound the problem, Stutzman
said the poor pay and a lack of prestige in.
tbe teaching field has discouraged studenu
from becoming wacher*.
"Teachers for tbe most part hawe never_
held too much respect," Stutzman said.
"It's interesting; when a person gets
paid more, there's more prestige."
Because schools are desperate for tea¬
chers, the pay is getting better, Stutzman
said. The current pay for local grammar
school, intermediate school and high
school teachers is about SI8,000, which
Stutzman said is much better than in tbe
A study by the Rand Corp. said that in
1981, the average starting pay was $13,000,
making teaching the lowest paid job re-
quiringa bachelor's degree. Partlybecause
of the low pay, the Rand study predicted
that the new supply of college graduates

Computers new addition to business school
Students in information systems classes
are having to acquaint themselves with a
new piece of machinery this semester.
It's the Televideo microcomputer.
This new apparatus, which was installed
moments before classes began on the first
day of school, is a floppy-disc personal
computer bought by the school of busi¬
ness to keep up wilh ihe current trends in
computers, said a cling Dean ofthe School
of Business Dr. Dwayne Schramm.
It's to enhance our curriculum," said
Schramm. "We know that the personal
computer is used in so many facets.
Our students would be at a real loss if
they didn't encounter microcomputers,"
The 30 microcomputers with 15 prin¬
ters have replaced the 30 electric typewri¬
ters that used to be in room 205 of the
business building. The typewriters were
traded to the Televideo company in the
purchasing of their product.
Dr. Richard Lacy, who teaches IS
coursc^in word processing;compared the
new machines with similar models.
"There are word processors with more
power and do more," he said, "likewise,
"What it does, it does very %>ell," said
Lacy.
What it does, besides word processing,
is handle financial spread sheeti, compile
data-base management and has the capa¬
bility to do forecasting of business figures,
said Schramm.
The same software used in IBM compu¬
ters can be used in the Televideo micro¬
computer, a feature both Schramm and
Lacy were quick to point out.
Being a microcomputer, ihe video dis¬
play terminals art not hooked up to a
large memory bank system. All the com¬
puter knows and does is installed in each
terminal.
The keyboard is not attached to the
terminal so users can adjust it to their
liking. In addition lo the normal lypewn¬
ier keys, there are 10 function keys which
provide 16 editing functions. These keys
enable the typist to edit copy on the screen
quickly before it is printed.

Typing 2, were surprised to find the
