Harassment became newsworthy s

when it turned sexual $

■Kim Kawecki, Amy Wierzbicki, Angie Jespersen,
Julie McWilliams, Marcy Dickman, Mara Warren on
Hill/Thomas hearings and Sexual Harassment.
Dickman: "A lot of us didn't watch the trial."
Jespersen: "Maybe they assumed he was innocent, but he wasn't."
Warren: "I think that she was lying; I mean after 11 years to tell, and
she waits until he is up for the Supreme Court. No, I don't believe
her."
Jespersen: "Yeah, but maybe she just realized that since he was up
for such a high position that she didn't want to let it go any further."
Warren: "Yeah, that could be true."
Jespersen: "Maybe she thought it was the time, because he was up for
the Supreme Court... I'm not necessarily saying that she was telling
the truth, but if she did then that's why she's bringing it up now . . .
I think this trial will change the work place on sexual harassment
cause people now know what it is; like things that happened to them
before they didn't even know it was sexual harrassment, but now
they do."
Describe Sexual Harassment? Warren: "Any disgusting verbal (Q
comment." Dickman: "Any vulgar gesture. I think it is when
anybody touches you in a way you don't like." McWilliams: "Just like </>
calling you names or saying suggestive comments to you." Wierzbicki:
"Being touched." Kawecki: "When rude things are said or done to Q
you."
