Conference
continued from page 1
The conference began Friday afternoon
with an opening reception in the Laurel
Forum.
Tracey Rizzo, assistant professor of his
tory and a conference coordinator, and
James Pitts, vice chancellor for academic
affairs, made welcoming remarks to the
group.
Events on Friday evening were held in the
Humanities Lecture Hall, and included
performances by the Asheville Women s
Ensemble, the all-male ensemble Cantaria,
and Hot/Lipz Productions, who performed
scenes from Sue Carroll Moore’s play “Dyke
for Days.”
The songs “Ave Pudendum” (“Hail Geni
talia”), performed by the women’s en
semble, and “My Love is Large,” performed
by Cantaria, received a number of cheers
from the audience.
Frank Browning, a former National Pub
lic Radio correspondent who has written
several books, essays, and articles about
homosexual issues, gave the conference’s
keynote address on Friday night. His ad
dress consisted mostly of a readings from
his written works.
“I think of myself primarily as a story
teller,” Browning said.
In the address. Browning focused on the
theme of identity present in the lives of gay
men, and spoke about older gay men “who
may remember what gay life was like 20
years ago.”
“Gay men often had to lie to or mislead
others to keep their sexual preferences pri
vate, whereas gay men today have less need
or desire to do so,” said Browning.
Browning also said that many young men
now consider the term “gay” problematic.
He related a short anecdote about one of
these men who said that “queer” described
him more accurately.
Saturday’s events were held in Karpen
Hall, and consisted of 21 scholarly paper
presentations by students and faculty from
universities nationwide. Kathy Rudy,writer
and assistant professor of ethics and
women’s studies at Duke University, spoke
to participants during a Saturday lunch
session.
The conference closed Saturday evening
with a roundtable discussion open to all
attendees of the conference.

people cannot be reached.”
Baxley said that some housekeepers will
continue to work the daytime shift.
“People will still be here during the day
for electrical and plumbing reasons,” said
Baxley. “We will also continue to have
housekeeping services during the day, but
the bulk of the cleaning you need can be
done when people are not around.”
According to Baxley, if the change in
house(ceeping hours is approved, the new
hours would most likely be implemented
in the upcoming summer.
“Summertime is a better time to change
the hours because it gives the housekeepers
a chance to get used to their new operation
^before classes start in the fall,” said Baxley.
Although housekeepers are not in favor of
working nighttime hours, Baxley said that
they do want the UNCA administration to
make a decision and resolve the issue so
that they can get stability back in their lives.
Baxley said that there are no current plans
to change the hours of any other house
keeping or maintenance employees, but
added that such changes might be made at
a later date.
“It’s hard to predict the future,” said
Baxley. “But I do not foresee any other
folks going on the evening shift.”
