Spectrum Supports Homosexual Rights Andrea Stoffer “Spectrum gives you an im mediate support group and makes you know that you are accepted right away,” said senior Ron Stephenson about Elon’s new ho mosexual organization. Spectrum, which is open to all types of people, promotes aware ness and acceptance on homosexual issues. It held its first meeting in May and the Student Life committee should make the group official next week. Spectrum members discussed the structure and agenda for the club in the last two meetings this fall. Flyers with the meeting times, dates, and hotline (229-5289) will be posted around campus. People who signed up at the organization fair Sept. 6, will be called about upcoming meetings. On Spectrum’s tentative sched ule: viewing gay films with stu dents/members of the club. They hope the films will be co-spon- sored by Cinelon and Elon's Cul tural Events. Spectrum is also hop ing that Cinelon will bring the di rectors of the films to Elon and lead discussions. Also, the group wants gay and lesbian poets to speak on campus. In addition. Spectrum may visit the AIDS quilt in D.C. on a trip spon sored by the Student Union Board, during fall break. The same week end, the group may attend a gay youth march. The club plans on seeing “Roseanne’s” Sandra Bernhard on National Coming Out Day, Friday October 11, at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Last Thursday, four members visited the student run Gay Lesbian Bisexual Student Association at UNCG. G.L.B.S.A. is on the internet and prevalent in other col leges and universities. “Spectrum is not a separtist organization. We are a culturally diverse group. Whether you are homosexual, heterosexual, blue, or green. Spectrum accepts you, Rosa* said (named changed). Thirty people signed up for the club at the Organization Fair. A lot of the members are straight. For example, Jeff Keim joined the group because “he wants to promote civil rights and raise awareness on the campus.

The Barnes and Noble Textbook winners Adam Krlss/The Pendulum From left: Jolene Childress, Gerald Whittington, Candace Stanebreaker, Wewona Suggs, Rahshidg Wilson, Joe Mattern and Julianne Maher Students Win Free Books in Campus Shop Scholarship Adam Kriss ‘This program began when Barnes and Nobel took over the bookstore four years ago and this year we just wanted to promote it a little more,” said Jolene Childress, Elon College Campus Shop Man ager. This program is the Barnes and Noble/Campus Shop Textbook Scholarship fund. Five students were selected by the business and finance office based on their G.P.A’s from last year. Over the summer, five names were sent to the campus shop, which then notified the students that they had won. The students won free textbooks for both the fall and spring semesters. The winners were William Bartley, Joseph Mattern, Candace Stonebreaker, Wenona Suggs and Rahshida Wilson. On Sept. 16 the five students were invited to a lunch in the Ward Octagon Room of the Moseley Center. “We decided that this is some thing that we should recognize,” Childress said. The five winners all felt good about their accomplishment. Wilson said, “I am very happy and this was a blessing from God.” Stonebreaker was happy with the news. “It gets expensive to have to pay for books and college at the same time. I was just very, very happy to get the scholarship,” she said. Mattern said, “I got a letter, and I was just relieved because books are very expensive.” “I was just really happy that it came,” Suggs said. Childress took over as man ager of the bookstore last April and wanted to try some new things. “I had no idea how the stu dents who won the scholarship in the past were handled, however, I knew we needed to recognize these five students in some fashion,” she said. Childress noted that this pro gram will happen every year and that five new students will be cho sen. “No student can win this more than once,” she said. This is a scholarship that can be won anytime by sophomorcj, juniors and seniors.
