European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - September 21, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Dear readers in my column of july 12,1 published a letter from a High school student who wrote about her English teacher getting fresh. She wanted to know More about sexual harassment. I told her that sexual harassment by a teacher or a Boss constitutes asking for dates making sexual jokes or comments inappropriate touching attempts to kiss or fondle or suggesting that sex will result in a promotion or a higher Grade. I then volunteered that the first institution sued for sexual harassment was Yale University and added a sorry about that  i continued a in 1980, an undergraduate sued her political science professor because he offered her an a in Exchange for sex. She refused and received a c. The student filed a suit and  i now have before me a letter from Dorothy k. Robinson general counsel for Yale University asking that i set the record straight. The incident was just As i had presented it with one Small exception. The student lost the Case and Yale was exonerated. A bouquet of Skunk cabbage to the Boston lawyer who a a researched this for me and a size 7 dunce Cap for Vours truly for not double checking. Dear Ann Landers a Friend of mine a vulnerable widow found a Lump in her breast a few months ago during self examination. On the recommendation of her family doctor she had a Mammogram and then saw a surgeon. The surgeon examined her studied the Mammogram and said a Biopsy should be done. He told her not to worry that he was so certain the Lump was benign he was willing to bet her a 20-Dollar Gold piece that the Biopsy would prove him right. She said a a you re on a and they Shook hands on the bet. Fortunately the doctors opinion was Correct and when she went Back for a visit after the Biopsy he reminded her of their bet. When i heard that my Friend had ordered the Coin it Cost about $500i told her she was foolish. In my opinion that doctor took advantage of her and the a a bet was highly unethical. Id like your views on this Ann. A h.b., new York dear new York unethical you say i Call it outrageous. Ill bet that doctor makes More Money on bets than he does in his practice. He should be reported to the state or county medical society. Or both. Dear Ann Landers May i add something to the a sex after marriage Flap that Drew so Many fascinating comments be sure that the fire is out of both furnaces before you decide to give up sex for crossword puzzles a stationary Bike in the bedroom or any of the other dumb substitutes mentioned by one nutty Reader.

You did no to say but i Trust that you got Back in the Ball game and eliminated the substitute hitter. Dear Ann Landers in a 17 years old and All my life i have heard people say a Pardon my French a when they swear or use a dirty word. This really puzzles me because so far As i know the French people done to use any worse language than anyone else. So where did that expression come from a puzzled in California dear California i done to have a clue. How about it readers any answers out there creators Syndicate letters a would be Retiree is in Germany instead i would like to bring to the attention of your readers what happened to me. I Hope that it does not happen to anyone else. In january 1990, i was on Levy notified of a pending assignment for Germany. I had 21 years of service so at the Levy briefing i informed them that i would retire in april 1990 instead. Personnel at fort Sill okla., where i was stationed at the time informed me that it was too late for that because the 30-Day time Frame from Alert notification had expired. According to department of the army personnel come Alexandria va., i was alerted for Levy in september 1989. I was not alerted until january 1990. I took this problem to my Chain of command at fort Sill and they were very helpful. My unit commander wrote a letter requesting that i be deleted from Levy so that i could retire. My battalion commander added a letter requesting the same. The assistant commandant a brigadier general also wrote a letter of Strong approval of this request. The request was forwarded to training and doctrine come fort Monroe a. Department of the army concurred and requested that i be allowed to retire. This request was then forwarded to the commander personnel come Alexandria a. Personnel come received it on feb. 21. They did not respond to it until june 15. Per com said that the request was not favourably considered. They denied it and said that i would have to go to Germany for 24 months unaccompanied. I could not go accompanied because i did not have 36 months remaining on my enlistment. This request was disapproved by Brig. Gen. . Vollrath director of enlisted personnel management total army personnel Agency. I called the department of the army assignment Branch and requested that they change my Levy from Germany to Korea because Korea is Only a one year tour and one year unaccompanied is better than being separated from my family for two years. They said no because i was excess m my military occupational specially mos and Grade in Korea. So i followed orders and reported to Germany. I asked personnel in Usa eur if i could submit my retirement paperwork. They said yes but i would still have to server to station wants letters i am writing to solicit letters from Chicago area servicemen and women to be used in a lbs Channel 2 perspective. We be heard All the news reports the briefings and bulletins. Now its your turn a Chance to write what in effect will be an open letter to our viewers. Content is str july up to you. This is basically just an Opportunity to enlighten us All and to give us a fed for the people we Are an so concerned about the ground rules Are pretty simple. Just write a letter to the address Given below. Ill go through the letters and pick out some to be read on the air or summarized in a perspective. Any snapshots you have would really help and of course be kept for safekeeping or returned to your family As you direct. If you done to have any pictures but want us to get some from your family please Tell us As much and How we can get in touch with them. Send letter to a Walter Jacobson perspective unit Channel 2 630 North Mcclurg court Chicago 111. 60611 the 24 months. My rotation Date is july 19, 1992. I will have four months remaining on my enlistment after that Date. My enlistment ends on nov. 14,1992. I was informed years ago that once you served More than 20 years you could retire at any time. Evidently this is not True. I am Over strength army wide in my specially and Grade. I do not anticipate being promoted. This assignment has caused a hardship on my family. I own a Home in Lawton okla., and have a wife and three children. In this Day and age when the department of defense is forced to Cut Back on personnel personnel come in Alexandria va., refuses to let people who have served their country for More than to years retire. This is totally illogical. Also i would like to Point out that the department of the army could save millions of dollars every fiscal year by not sending personnel and their families to Europe. Between june and september every year the army sends soldiers their spouses children cars clothes and furniture to an already overcrowded Europe. Even now planes loaded with personnel and their families arrive at Rhein main Airport daily. Does personnel come watch the evening news every evening the news reports say that the United states is trying to reduce the number of troops in Europe. It is going to Cost a Fortune to Send All these families Back if troop reductions take place. Congress is trying to eliminate 130,000 personnel by september 1991 without causing a hardship on the Soldier. I would like to say that continuing to Send soldiers to Europe is causing the greatest hardship. I believe there Are More than 130,000 personnel who would gladly Volunteer to leave the service or retire if they were Only asked to do so. Finally i would like to thank the commands at fort Sill okla., and the 3rd army div for All the assistance they have Given me concerning this cause. A sgt. 1st class Willie s.
