PRESIDENTIAL NOTES —
by Howard Fradkin
Sunday marked the first National Tea Dance in this area. The
music u/as hot—and so luas the crowd, (208 strong I), CGA representatives
Jerry L,, John W., Johnny C., P, Allen; and Larry B. helped me at
the door along with two local Nationar Task Force members from the
Raleigh area, YOU can help too (see separate article) ! I promise
you 11 have a hot time at the next Tea Dance, this Sunday and every
Sunday at the Capital Corral and Glitter Gulch! CGA profit from this
first Tea Dance was 031,051!! All money collected by CGA will qo
toward the 2nd Annual Southeastern Gay Conference, slated for Aoril
1-3, here in Chapel Hill, ^
Tu sp®3Jfng engagements have been pouring in lately.
The Student Health Service had me over one lunch hour to speak to the
physicians after they had received several complaints from gay
students about treatment received there. I^found the physicians,
nurses and psychiatrists there to be really receptive, actually, '
Only one physician'^Was. clearly homophobic—and he was amply challenged
by the rest of the physicians present. I*d like to especially ^
recognize Dr, McFarland for his open-mindedness and acceptance. He
was as amazed as I was by a few of the comments.
Judy C. and I did another successful outreach for the North
Campus R.A.»s several weeks ago. I was told afterwards that this
meeting was the liveliest meeting they had had all year!’ Word has
now Craige dorm has requested a
similar outreach for November Bv
and I had fun assisting with a Sexual Attitude Reassessment
Workshop in Raleigh for the Association of Couples for Marriage
Enrichment. = Wo helped with the section of the workshop on homosexu-
real pleased that some of the couples were very open
owm homosexual .feelings and experiences. In appreciation
for our help, the sponsors, the Fleming Clinic, donated 050 to the
North,Carolina Gay Union. Thank you Paul and'Dini'Fleming!
^ -.. I^was a little disappointed with our November dance. The crowd
was .only half ,the size of the,one in October. If you have suggestions
can bring in the crowds, let me know! Our next dance is
our Christmas celebration. Here are some-ideas I have on how YOU
can help: •: ‘
Talk it up! Bring a friend, or two or three*
/Donate decorations for the nite. We don't have money to buy
them and’I know you have them stored in' your attic! Please lend
.them, to us for the night so- our dance floor can glitter too
If yo,U;don't have decorations to donate, then volunteer to helo
us decorate-the nite of the dance'. - ^
