Also, Moore said, the committee works toward the eventual goal of posting a trained monitor in every building cm campus. Two studies were conducted by Moore and two other researchers in 1984 on sexual harassment from fac ulty members toward both faculty and students. The results led the commit tee to believe that something needed to be done in this area. In the faHof 1987, UNI. Chancel lor Martin Massengale sent letters inviting faculty members to be on a Sexual Harassment Committee, said Jane Conoley, the trainer for the committee and a professor of educa tional psychology. The purpose of die committee is to educate faculty members on what appropriate behavior they can expect from their colleagues, Conoley said. Also, the committee works won students and faculty who feel they have been harassed, Conoley said, informing them of the options avail able to them. The committee’s goal is to educate the college community, Conoley said. That goal will be accomplished through formal presentations to staff who request them and through the training of consultants, she said. The consultants will be another resource for deans Mid others on cMnpus. She said formal workshops wMI take place this year and consultants have been trained to reach this goal. Faculty members can volunteer to be trained as consultants and can learn the laws on harassment. Tliey also will be able to serve as mediators between the accused and the accuser. Deans need to know, Conoley said, that they have several options to deal with those accused or harass* meiii. isiv uc^ui nju«j iiiiuiin uie faculty member informally, but if it occurs again, the dean should insist the faculty member change the offen sive behavior. Conoley said she has known of several professors who were asked by the administration 10 resign because they repeatedly sexually harassed students and other faculty. Three years ago, Teachers College formed a separate sexual harassment committee, Conoley said. As head of the committee, Cono ley said complautts of harassment decreased as a result of the gioup’s formation. The message that faculty won’t tolerate sexual harassment on this campus is most effective when it comes from the Chancellor’s office, Conoley said. The forming of this committee by Massengale, Conoley said, gets this message out. 1 1111 1* >'■ 1 SAVE ^ ArtCarved Siladium® college rings are now more affordable than ever.

Purtzer takes a picture Saturday night at the Malone Center, 2032 U St., at a greek Homecoming Hoopla party. | Picture Man photographer I likes having a good time By James Lillis Suff Reporter J.K. Purtzer, a secondary education major at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, said he photographs for the Picture Man because he enjoys being around people hav ing a good time. Purtzer said the Picture Man photographers shoot pictures of mostly late afternoon and evening social events such as class reunions, office parties, residence hall group pic lures and fraternity and sorority parties. But that’s not all, Purtzer said. Picture Man photographers also shoot for formal events such as weddings, large group photos and uni versity graduations, he said. Purtzer’s boss. Bob Olson, has owned die Picture Man since 1974. Olson calls his busi ness at 1630 Q St. special events photography. I Purtzer, one of about 20 Picture Man pho tographers, was interviewed before and while he shot pictures for the university’s Sigma Chi, Alpha Phi, Sigma Phi Epsilon and Gamma Phi Beta organizations’ Homecoming Hoopla dance party at the Malone Community Center, 2032 U St. Saturday night. Purtzer said the job is ideal lor him because he usually works on weekend nights, so his job doesn’t cut in on his study time. The 23-year old senior said he sometimes has time to social ize when he’s finished photographing. Purtzer said he began working for the Pic ture Man three years ago when he w as a sopho more. “The owner of the Picture Man came to shoot our dorm floor group picture and 1 asked whether he needed another photographer,” Purtzer said. “I told him I had a camera and he hired me,” Purtzer said he’s photographed more than 120 parties since he began working for the Picture Man. He said that on a good night, he’ll shoot 15 to 20 rolls of film. But those are rare occasions, he said. Most of the time Purtzer I shoots about four or five rolls of film. “The best parties I’ve been to are the cos tume or theme parties. They’re always a lot of fun,” he said. Some of those parties have included Ship wreck, Pimp and Hooker, Gunslinger and Heaven and Hell, he said. “At these kinds of parties, its important to remember not to beat on or curse at the photog rapher,” Purtzer said. ‘‘I’m human and can only shoot so fast.” “Sorority rushes are also a lot of fun because I’m the only guy in a crowd of 80 girls taking pictures of them,” Purtzer said. Photographing these functions isn’t always a good time though, he said. . .it’s important to re member not to beat on or curse at the photog rapher.’ — Purtzer lure Man photographers went to Omaha in his car to shoot pictures at a high school dance there. He said they left on time, but were 1 1/2 hours late because of car troubles. Once they got there, he said, they found out that they were supposed U- be the primary photographers of the dance, not extras as they had thought. Because of this, they didn’t have all the equipment they needed, so they had to run around town to get it f o lop things off, Purtzer saw, they saw an accident on the way back to Lincoln and had to stay as witnesses. The didn’t get home until 3 a.m., he said. Purtzer called it “a night from hell.” While he sometimes ha9 to coax and encour age people to be photographed, Purtzer said, usually a crowd comes around to get their picture taken and then everyone has fun. ‘Sometimes the adult reunions are a little slow,” he said. Between the good and bad nights Purtzer said he makes between $4 and $5 an hour. He uses his own car, camera and batteries most of the time, but he uses the Pic turn Man’s film and flash. As for photo composition, Purtzer said he has to make sure everyone’s in the frame and smiling with their eyes open. Other than that, it’s up to his subjects. “1 vc photographed them standing on their heads, jumping up and down, using props and doing pretty much whatever they want,” Purtzer said. “People get together and have a good lime.”
