an important issue

 

By Tia Sllverthorne

College campuses across the
country must realize the importance
of the issue of sexual harassment re-
gardless of the number of reported
cases. a panelist in a nationwide tel-
econference said yesterday.

“It is an epidemic on our college
campuses. lf the number of cats-
es are not high you should not as-
sume that there‘s no problem." said

 

Margaret J. Barr, vice president of

student affairs at Northwestern l'niv
versity, said.

Barr spoke as part of an interae-
tive teleconference sponsored by
LEK's Office of Student Affairs in
the Student Center Theater.

She said that a number of situa-
tions may arise in which students
feel uncomfortable in reporting
teachers that they currently take
classes under.

“We urge (thosel students. if they
feel weird. to wait until they finish
the course to report it." she said.

The national program, titled

“Confronting Sexual Harassment
on Campus," was broadcast via sat<
ellite from Washington, DC. to
275 colleges in the L'nited States.
Mexico and Canada.

Afterward. a panel from the tin-
versity was on hand to discuss the
local situation and various portions
of the teleconference.

UK student Marian Brannon
faced a life threatening situation
yesterday while attending her po-
litical science class. She nearly
choked on a lollipop.

As Brannon ate the candy, it
became lodged in her throat, and
she immediately began to panic.

“I started flailing my arms and
hitting my chest," said Brannon.
a communications senior. “l
knew it wasn‘t going to come out
without outside help."

Seconds later the instructor.
Patricia Pauly, approached Bran-
non to see if she was OK. Bran-
non tried to say no. but she was
unable to speak. Pauly quickly
proceeded to administer the
Heimlich maneuver to dislodge
the candy.

The maneuver was successful.

“She reacted so quickly that I
hadn‘t even begun to get light-
headed," Brannon said. “After-
wards, all I could think about
was how I could have died.

Dr. Pauly enough. How do you
thank someone who saves your
life?"

Brannon said she owes eternal
gratitude to Pauly and is thankful
that Pauly knew how to adminis-
ter the Heimlich maneuver.

The process was developed by
Henry Heimlich in 1974 as a
way to save people who are
choking.

The Heimlich maneuver can
be administered by applying
pressure to the area just below

sion of that area by inward and
upward motions. the food can be—

breathing passage cleared.

uals have been saved by the
Heimlich maneuver since it was
developed. researchers say.
