Newspaper Page TextI (RESOLUTION, from p. 1) Steve Reinhard, first presented the resolution to the Student Affairs Committee of the CGC. Solow, a member of the SEEDS party, says the legality of the proposed resolution was questioned in light of North Carolina’s "crime against nature" law. But the Committee unanimously passed the resolution and sent it to the full CGC. The item appeared near the end of the Council's agenda. One representative asked if discrimination is a problem in campus organizations. No CGA members were present to support the resolution, and discussion ended after Rosen point out that 10% of the student population at Carolina is homosexual. In a roll call vote, the lone dissenter to passage was Patricia Wallace (District 16). If the Office of Student Affairs adds sexual orientation to its anti- discrimination policy, lesbian and gay students will have recourse for action whey they are discouraged from joining campus honorary societies as well as fraternities and sororities. During a past CGA meeting on legal issues, a sorority member told how she was asked to resign quietly" after rumors surfaced that she was lesbian. CGA members are also often reluctant to get involved in public events and activities for fear of repercussions from their academic scholar ship sponsors, especially the Morehead Foundation. -Lee Mullis lAMBDA Staff: Bill (editor), Lee Mullis (production), Robert and Jerry (advertising), and Ron.

Boy Scouts Rebuffed Again Sacramento, CA—The California State Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that the Boy Scouts of America cannot, on the grounds of sexuality only, ban homosexuals from its organization, according to the Bay Area Reporter. The Mount Diablo Council of the Boy Scouts had sought a review of an Oct. 3 Court of Appeals ruling, which the court upheld. In the previous ruling, a lawsuit filed by former Eagle Scout Tim Curran was reinstated. The latest court ruling clears the way for Curran to proceed with his suit against the Boy Scouts. Curran was expelled because he is gay and seeks reinstatement in his Berkeley troop. The Boy Scouts must now show that Curran's membership can be revoked on grounds other than his homosexuality. Curran said, "They would have to prove that I wouldn't be a good leader, but they’ve already indicated the opposite by passing me as an Eagle Scout. -from Gay Community News, 01/28/84
