   While I suppose it's true that there was sexual harrassment the sources   
   given don't seem to be reliable. I have never seen the Daily   
   Pennsylvanian, but back in mists of time I sometimes read the Daily   
   Californian -- interesting enough, but not what I would regard as a   
   reliable source.
