14 (ALPHABET SOUP, from page 13) but impotent parts, it's up to gay people to change these roles. By resisting labeling (whether by straight society or by other gay people) and working towards being self-aware individuals who are will ing to express their individuality within the gay community and society as a whole, gay people can help create a new society which encourages the expression of indi viduality at the expense of stereotypes. -David ■Idols of the Tribe The sexual objects of Rs are usually other Rs; Qs, for the most part/ are scorned, *.. For Rs, the perfect "10" — the sexual object possessing the one feature he feels he lacks and wishes to capture — may very well be the straight boy who is, by definition, unattainable,••• If masculine, normal-looking Rs become the chief sexual objects of other Rs, does this in turn mean that flamboyant Qs are the ideal sex objects of other Qs, or that Rs do not interest Qs? To the contrary,,,. It is our impression that, for both Rs and Qs, archetypal Rs are the "idols of the tribe," It is the R whose natural masculine grace tops the overall hierarchy of desir able traits in the fierce gay competition of good looks. cjtfsmm TO REPORT; ANTI-LESBIAN/GAY VIOLENCE TO OBTAIN: A.I.D5.

The U.S. Postal Service would not allow us to continue using the University's non-profit bulk mail permit and said we'd have to buy our own permit and mail at a higher rate. You, dear friends, quickly came through not only with enough money for these expenses but with kind and encouraging letters. We are very grateful for your support! and apologies In the same breath, we must apolo gize for the late delivery of our March issue. Though it was "on the street" on Feb. 28, the Mail Room had not ordered the new postal meter slug for us. It didn't arrive for several weeks, and the issue wasn't mailed until the last week of March. We think these hurdles have been cleared and that you'll be receiving better service beginning with this issue.
