I
(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.

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.
