Mehuslo receives
Alumni Fellows
Award
by Chris Kocott
Collegian Staff Writer
Dr. Robert Mehalso has
received Behrend's Alumni
Fellows Award. This distinction
is given to extraordinary alumni
who are nominated by the
University and academic colleges.
Mehalso was on campus last
Wednesday and Thursday, meeting
with students, faculty, and
administrators.
Mehalso, a native of
Springboro, who now lives in
Fairport, New York, attended
Behrend for two years as he
worked toward the bachelor's
degree in ceramic science he earned
in 1964. He also has a master of
science degree in material science
and a doctorate in material
engineering from Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute.
In 1988 he established
AMTX, Inc., where he is
executive vice president and
general manager. The company
specializes in microfabrication and
microassembly.
On Thursday, Mehalso talked
with Behrend business students,
explaining what businesses are a

employees. He also addressed
issues such as the status of the
global market. He explained that
in today's high-tech world, the
most important thing to have is a
positive attitude and the ability to
think.
"You've got to learn,"
Mehalso told students, "There is
so much information coming out,
if you can't use that information,
you will become obsolete."
Mehalso also told students the
business market is global and that
companies are not just competing
with other U. S. companies, but
also with the rest of the world.
Firms must also consider the
whole world before making
decisions. Students need to be
aware of what is happening all
around the world, in all of its
many cultures.
Mehalso's business works on
reducing big, awkward machine
parts, down to smaller ones at a
cheaper cost. He attributes much
of his firm's success to a
teamwork approach.
"A team approach is
happening," Mehalso said,
"Japan is a team, even without
trying and that's why they
succeed."

Dear Louanne,
I'm really angry, but I don't know
what to do about it. I'm in a technical
program which is traditionally male. The
first day of class my professor (who
shall go unnamed) remarked that there
were several women in his class,
something he apparently wasn't used to.
That isn't bad,but when he continued by
saying it would be interesting to see if
any of us were still around by the end of
the semester, I was offended. That sure
isn't encouraging. He is obviously
biased, and I wonder if it will affect his
grading system.
I'd like to report him to his superiors,
but then I'm afraid it will really affect
my grade. That sort of thing should have
gone out with the dark ages. I guess old
fogeys never die, but I sure wish 'they'd
just fade away. •
Dear Harassed,
Your signature is on target. That is an example
of sexual harassment referred- to as the "chilly
classroom climate." You don't have to be punched
on the posterior to be a victim of sexual
harassment; however, I wouldn't recommend filing
a formal complaint with the Office of Equal
Opportunity yet.
The first step is to_ speak directly to the
broressor. - Use an.assertive_statement thatdekribes
the situation, tells how you feel, and states how

by Dr. Louanne Barton,
Psychologist
you would like the behavior to change (no name
calling). You would say something like this:
"The other day when you suggested the women
in our class might not be around long, I was
offended. I'm a good student and really motivated to
be in this program. I expect to do well in your
class. I would appreciate being recognized for my
efforts and accomplishments independent of the fact
that I'm a woman."
If it is too difficult to confront the professor
directly, then write him a note. Keep a• copy.
Record the date, time, place, names of the people
involved, witnesses, and who said what to whom.
If the harassment does not stop, then it is time to
speak to the department chairperson or the division
head. It is rarely necessary to file a formal
complaint though it might make you feel better.
Better that we women try to educate the few
ignorant men left than merely threaten them
further.
If you are legitimately concerned about your
grade, you can wait until the end of the semester,
but it's really best to confront it in a timely
fashion.
Here at Behrend we have two sexual harassment
contacts: Mary Beth Peterson (898-6164,
Counseling and Advising Center, Reed Ist floor)
and Dr. Christopher Reber (898-6111, Office of
Student Services, Reed 2nd floor). Feel free to talk
with them if you would like further guidance
