history of gays and lesbians

"It was a different side of
Guilford that isn't shown—a
more open side," said second
year student Tristy Everly. "The
'same old, same old' gets old, and
it's more diverse, and that what
we're trying for."
Gerlak, confd from page 1
As Guilford goes
through a very difficult
curriculum revision many
other faculty have dis
cussed the possibility of a
pre-law major. Gerlak
definitely objects to this
idea, worrying that in a
"rush to create new
things," the college would
overlook one important
fact: that law schools are
not interested in pre-law
majors. Most, like Duke,
UNC, and Vanderbilt, pre
fer a strong liberal arts
background.
Gerlak recommends
classes that involve a lot
of writing. Other steps she
would like to see would be
a smaller version of an op
tion available at many big
schools, a test-taking cen
ter. Since an entire center
devoted to test practice would cost
too much, Gerlak would like to see
maybe one person, working
through the Academic Skills Cen
ter who could help students.

Events of GLBT
month continued on Sat
urday with the fourth an
nual "Coming Out Ball."
"It's a way for the
gay, lesbian, bisexual, and
transgender students to
get together and feel com
fortable," said Co-chair of
Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual,
and Transgender Allies
(GLBTA), Daniel Sum
mers. GLBTAis a student
group fighting for equal
treatment for people of all
sexual orientations. The
ball, which was attended
by students of all sexual
orientations, featured
music, dancing, and
cross-dressing.
THE GUILFORDIAN
OCTOBER 9, 1998
According to Summers, the
purpose of those events and oth
ers throughout GLBT month
"serves to empower the GLBT
community through an increased
social presence and show
people who we are and what we
are about."
Other events of the first
week of GLBT month were a pot
luck dinner at Kathy Tritschler's
home on Oct. 4th, free HIV test
ing on Oct. 6th, and a GLB-RC
open house on Oct. 7.
Events still yet to happen
are the National Coming Out
Day Coffeehouse on Oct. 11th in
the Underground and the "Blast
from the Past" events with
the alumni over Homecoming
weekend.
Summers hopes that* in the
long run there will be a more al
lied presence at GLBT events.
"Everybody says that they sup
port us, but we don't always feel
it," said Summers. "We're all
equal, but we're all different."

Gerlak is the new pre-law advisor. Amy Rouse
ence books. The society also
sponsors dinners that usually
feature a theme. Last year's
theme was "ethics," and a Guil
ford graduate was invited to
speak. According to Gerlak, ac
tivities like*this provide "good
networking." It is an opportunity
to look for possible internships
and law firm experience.
