One workshop will be a panel discussion of why lesbians and gay men often do not work together and ways to facilitate more cooperative efforts. Lesbian and gay vendors will have displays during registration and early Saturday afternoon. The Conference is being hosted by the NC State Gay & Lesbian Community, one of two groups on the campus. Concern has been expressed as to whether recent con troversy surrounding the split of the now defunct State Gay Community will hamper Conference arrangements. The State Gay & Lesbian Community has received its charter from the University and has made arrange ments for facilities for the Conference at no cost. They are also helping with arrangements for food, housing, and campus transportation. Concern has also been expressed about security measures. Some gay people have been harassed on the NCSU campus, and a lesbian/gay book display was trashed at a campus gay awareness week. Conference planners have arranged for campus security officers to be present when vendors are open for business and at the main public events. In addition, the campus security office is near the Conference site. Preregistration fee for the Conference is $20 ($10 for students with current ID). The fee covers the lectures, workshops, a luncheon, and Tyler's concert. Registra tion at the door will be $25 ($15 for students). Tickets will also be sold separately for Tyler's concert.

Billed as "Celebration '84: Pulling Together and Reaching Out," the conference is expected to attract between 400 and 600 attenders from throughout the Southeast. Speakers for the four-day gathering include Abby Rubenfeld, managing attorney for the Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, and Virginia Appuzzo, director of the National Gay Task Force. In addition, Mike Rutherford, executive director of the Gay Press Association, will present an exhibit and workshop on the ways media affect gay people. Other special events for the weekend include a Friday night dance with the women's rock band from Birmingham, "Mara thon," a concert on Saturday night by Meg Christian, a banquet featuring Tom Chorlton of the National Association of Gay and Lesbian Democratic Clubs, and a softball event and dinner sponsored by the Magic City Athletic Association. Organizers say they chose the theme of "pulling together and reaching out" because they see the need for gay men and lesbians in the Southeast to work more closely with each other and to build alliances and coalitions with supportive people in the greater community. They have scheduled workshops on a vast range of topics and say they have received enthusiastic support from national lesbian and gay figures as well as Birmingham activists. Workshop facilitators will Include Patricia Todd from the National Organization of Women'-s national office, Barbara Greer of NAIAD Press, and Tanyan Gorman, field director of the Gay Rights National Lobby. Topics to be addressed include health care, womyn/women issues, AIDS, theatre, political organizing, pub lications, racism, and religious Issues. Time has also been set aside for film and video events, exhibits, and profes sional and political caucuses. Preregistration fee for the conference is $25, and includes admission to the Friday evening dance and to Meg Christian's concert on Saturday night.
