That was not the appro priate place. This suggested that being gay was in a way having a problem." Webb added. Along with other members of the club, Webb fell that there was a defmite need to get the club started. "The wider community needed a forum which the club provides," said Webb. This is an opportunity for all Meredith students to discuss issues which are important.” Senior Anna Hopkins also sees the importance of the group Spectrum. “It's definitely a necessity because there are gay studenti on campus, no matter how small the campus is.
