£rasidential Notes (continued)
Speaking of mov/ies, I understand the UlMC Psychology
Department has just acquired a positive gay film entitled
"Some Of Your Best Friends." Vie'll be scheduling this movie
for one of our future meetings.
Requests for speakers have come from as far aiuay as*
Winston-Salem and Kinston, in addition to requests for speakers
in university classes, R.A, trainning sessions, and at fresh
man ’*Y" camp. In the next week, ue plan to distribute informa
tion about our Speaker's Bureau to all university departments
and campus groups. If you're interested in speaking, please
let me or PI ike Young knoiu. We could.definitely use 3 or 4
more conrident speakers to cover any upcoming talks. Tuio
other upcoming projects also need mentioning. First, plans
are in the ujorks to investigate the possibility of a gay
studies course here at UNC. Secondly, several members are
ujorking on neuj legislation to propose to the Board of Aldermen
uihich uiould ban discrimination due to sexual or affectional
preferences in the areas of housing and public gathering
places. Last year CGA member Tom Carr helped to get an
ordinance passed banning discrimination in employment for any
employee of the Toiun of Chapel Hill due to his/her sexual or,
affectional preference.
The iMORTH CAROLINA GAY UNION, a stateujide organization
committed to the promotion of a more positive gay life-style
through the elimination of social and legal discrimination,
will hold its next meeting next month. November S has been
set as the meeting date. Duke Campus will host the meeting.
For more information contact Dan Leonard or rriyself.
As you see, we have been busy and plan to stay quite
busy throughout the coming year. If you've never attended
one of our meetings or rap sessions, or if you haven't attended
one in a while, come join us. The meetings are informative,
the rap sessions interesting and thought provoking, and the
dances and social events entertaining and fun. We welcome
your support in the exacting year ahead of us.
