, is time to apply for financial aid for the July 1, 1997 to June 30, 1998 academic year. Students who did not receive a renewal application need to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students are encouraged to apply early for aid, said Jeannie Edney, director of communications for Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education (OSRHE). "Less than 50 percent of applicants are awarded financial aid, which makes it even more necessary to apply early," she said. "We are currently seeking increased funding through legislature which will enable more than 50 percent of applicants to get financial aid." Each regional university offers the Regents Baccalaureate Scholarship Program to students with Oklahoma residence, at least a 30 on the ACT, along with an exceptional GPA, set by the institution. The deadline is set by each individual participating university, said Dawn Scott, of the OSRHE. Oklahoma residents should apply no later than March 1 for the Oklahoma Tuition Aid Grant (OTAG), although applications are accepted through early May.
The Future Teachers Scholarship Program is for state residents who plan to teach in a "critical shortage area," said Edney. Interested students should apply by midAugust. The priority processing deadline for UCO is March 31, with the application filed with the Federal Processor by March 20. Students who meet this date will know their aid status in May. The early processing deadline is May 15 with the application filed by May 5. Students who meet this date will know their status by the time school starts in August. Students enrolled in an undergraduate program are granted financial aid consideration through 174 hours of study. Those enrolled in a masters program are granted consideration through 48 hours of study, including other postsecondary institutions. Students can come to the student financial aid service center without an appointment and receive assistance from counselors. They are advised to bring their UCO ID card. Access to financial aid records and funding will be denied without this form of identification. The service center's office hours are from 8 a.m.- 7:30 p.m. on Mondays and 8 a.m.-5 p.m. on Tuesdays through Fridays. For more information call 341-2980, Ext. 3336.

Studies look at levels of "unwanted behavior" in the military

vents at an army training facility in Maryland, and even the Defense department's own studies, reveal that sexual harassment is prevalent in the U.S. armed forces, and dealing with it can pose unique problems for women who choose a career in the military. A 1995 Congressional study said that 70 to 80 percent of female cadets at the military academies, Air Force, Naval and West Point, report experiencing recurring incidents of harassment, ranging from looks or gestures to rape. Curriculum at the UCO ROTC unit includes basic information about sexual harassment and how to avoid it and is required each year of
the program, said Lt. Col. S.M. Sanders, professor or military science and commander of the local unit. "This (subject) concerns me not only because it besmirches our reputation, but also because I have a 20-year-old daughter in the army," said Sanders. Cadet Sgt. Maj. Mellissa Walker of UCO's ROTC said she hadn't noticed any harassment problems in the ROTC program and sees the problem as being a matter of misconceptions on the part of the female entering the military. "If you're a female and going in the military, you can't expect to be treated like the civilian world." said

Walker. "Military women have to be open and realize guys will be guys." Citing results from a 1995 survey conducted by the Department of Defense, Sanders said the military does have a serious problem with this issue, but is improving. The survey revealed 55 percent of the women in the U.S. military reported experiencing some form of sexual harassment in the past year, compared to 64 percent in 1988. In a July 1995 New York Times article, Edwin Dorn, undersecretary for defense, said military leaders were "not at all satisfied with the level of unwanted behavior that this survey uncovered," and said he saw hope for the future as more women rose to power in the military. Maj. Lillian A. Pfluke sees a problem with Dorn's theory. Historically, the U.S. military is a male-dominated, combat-oriented culture, said Pfluke in the Nov. 25 issue of Newsweek. "Women will never be considered
equal members of the team until they can do equal jobs," said Pfluke. As long as they are not treated as equals by the military in general, the men will not see them as such and will not give them the respect they deserve, she said. Since the army gets its senior leaders from the combat-arms branch, and women are excluded from direct ground combat, women will never reach the highest levels of command, said Pfluke. "Having separate castes provokes tension," she said. In an interview in the New York Times Magazine, Doris Besikof, a Denver lawyer who has spent the last 18 years handling veterans' and military cases, said women don't realize when they join the military they are virtually surrendering their constitutional rights to protection under the law. "When she takes the oath of enlistment, a woman loses her voice and she goes under the absolute control of people who, if they hurt her, could hurt her again if she reports it—which is just
absolutely the opposite of what she would be entitled to as a civilian woman," said Besikof. At the military academies, between 40 to 60 percent of the respondents to the congressional survey said they would hesitate to report sexual harassment for fear of reprisal. In 1994, a female representative of each branch of the armed forces told the House Armed Services Committee of responses of disdain, ostracism, and career derailment when they reported unwanted sexual advances. In the army's survey, only 40 percent of women who experienced harassment reported the incident. Of those, 20 percent said they experienced retaliation, mostly in the form of lower performance ratings. Of the women who did not report the incident, 25 percent thought it would make their work situation unpleasant and 17 percent said they would be labeled as troublemakers. Another theory suggests that the problem of sexual harassment is fundamentally a cultural one.
Our culture endorses the attitude of people who believe women who put themselves in harms' way should not expect to be protected in the same way as other women in our culture. In an article for the New York Times, specialist reporter Natalie Angier points out that in American culture, a woman who goes to a bar or a fraternity party alone is not given much sympathy if she is hassled or even attacked. Thus, if a woman chooses to work in the military, she should be prepared to accept whatever treatment she receives. Angier cited that civilian women have some of the same problems with sexual harassment, but for the female soldier, it is more complicated primarily because of the limitations to their personal freedom inherent in military service. Pfluke said regardless of the reasons, unless Americans want to eliminate women from the military altogether, the Pentagon has a duty to protect them. —By Rhonda Bowden Staff Writer
