Since 1972 CGLA has been the voice of
Lesbians and Gay men on the UNC campus.
Often CGLA has been the only voice
which seeks to defend us from the
discrimination we face as Gay men and
women. Throughout our history many,
many bisexuals have been active members
who have both contributed to the goals
of CGLA and received support from the
organization. I believe that all of
CGLA's membership and services should
continue to involve bisexuals.
However, I think CGLA's name should
continue to reflect the fact that we
exist to support students involved in
Lesbian and Gay life and relationships.

Should UNC-CH join the growing number
of universities (such as UC-Berkeley
and UM-Amherst) whose gay and lesbian
organizations include ”Bisexual" in
their names? By changing the Carolina

Hello. This is Keely, CGLA Publicity
Chair, and Liz, CGLA Co-chair. We are
Very glad that you are reading this
issue of LAMBDA. We'd like to take
this opportunity to address the topic
of membership involvement. Now, some
things have gone very well this year:
lambda readership is up, CGLA
membership is constant, the Romanovsky
and Phillips concert and the Halloween
Dance were both very successful,
drawing big crowds. We are pleased
about these things. But attendance at
the General Body meetings and other
dances is down, and at the Lesbian
lunches is irregular. We'd like to
know why some things are working really
^ell and others aren't.
Thus, we are trying to open the lines
of communication between readers and
staff in the form of this questionaire.
Since you are reading LAMBDA, please
take the time to fill out this
questionaire, so we can find new ways
to serve you. Quest ionaires can be
dropped by the CGLA office--216B
Student Union--or sent to us via campus
mail. This is vour organization--use
it! I
