What is gay lib?
Headliners...! saw a blue movie the other day in black and white but
I didn't notice... love is the answer.... SAGA food is 99.44/100% purely
free of salt peter; however, .66% we're not sure of....
Memorabilia...."People should be taught what is, not what should be.
All. my humor is based on destruction and despair. If the whole world
were tranquil, without disease and violence. I'd be standing in the
breadline-right back of J. Edgar Hoover." — Lenny Bruce....
Graffiti.... scrawled on a blackboard: "sacred cows make great
hamburgers"....now, when someone says, "I'll be there with bells on,"
the meaning has evolved anew.... remembered line: "old soldiers never
die." Maybe, but young ones still do....
Problem Probe.... "I have yet to see any problem, however
complicated, which, when you looked at it the right way, did not
become still more complicated." — Paul Anderson.
Note from a groupie: three's a blast; four's partners.
Reflections in a bloodshot eye.... too many stewed cooks are
spoiled....
To the fair sex.... lie now, pay later.... dishonesty is false.... sincere
condolences to the misguided soul who could only put in her window
"Sex ^ Love." 'Tis sad but the reverse is also true. The equation
imbalances either way without the x factor of self-giving
For sensitive people: check out the Soft Touch cards on the rack in
the bookstore. TTiese true bookstore gems reach inside you....
From Me To You... whatever it will be/is....
Undie-Fundie.... BVDs are up tight.... remember when boxers went
down for the count? .... briefs can be relief.... Fruit of the Loom makes
good fruit cake.... in the Lib movement, women are becoming less
mountains and more molehills; that's not to say I don't grasp the
obvious significance of their movement.... some people say the braless
trend is a flop....
Truth and Wisdom Department.... "By changing what he knows
about the world, man changes the world he knows; and by changing the
world in which he lives, man changes himself." —Theodosius
Dobzhansky/"Man Evolving"
Have You Heard?.... that late to bed, late to rise makes a woman
look for a wiser, healthier man?....
On Spaceship Earth.... according to legend.... the Worm Ouroboros
ate its own tail, and thus was a symbol of a world that survives by
endlessly devouring itself, this closed system is real, people, and we'd
better take note....
Commentary: Rock star deaths....after the death of Janis Joplin and
recalling the recent end of Jimi Hendrix, one friend profoundly stated:
"somebody's startin' a band up there." There'll be music 'waitin' on us,
children....
The Actus Supremus: classic position...."this is the simplest, most
widely used position for beginners. In this position the female partner
lies on her back, stretched out on the floor, with her legs under the bed.
The male partner lies on the bed, either on his right or left side, and
reads selections from Greek or Roman literature." —excerpt from THE
OFFICIAL SEX MANUAL published by Dell Paperbacks for $.75; it's
everything you wanted to know about sex but never heard of before....
On Happiness.... before you can erect earthly towers, you must pour
out yourself as the foundation for love...
Parting Shots.... dream the impossible dream: then try it in a
Volkswagon.... if I'm not jailed or burned at the stake, see you friends
next week....je t'aime

“Homosexuals are an oppressed
minority in American society.
America has forced up into urban
ghettos, almost the only place
where we can find one another,
and into the few jobs and
professions where we can get by.”
Guy Nassberg, professing
homosexual and national leader of
the Gay Liberation Front,
summed up the plight of himself
and those Uke him in those words.
This article is the first of a
series which will attempt to
explore this newest of social
movemen^. What is Gay
Liberation? Why is Gay
Liberation? What’s happening to
it in Charlotte? Are homosexuals
really oppressed? These are some
of the questions which seem to be
finally rising to the surface even in
this, the Bible belt.
Isn’t there a law?
‘Crime against
nature’
While wading through the
North Carolina law books, only
one thing becomes crystal clear.
The statutes concerning
homosexuality in this state are
notorious both for their foggy
mountain ambiguity and their
underlying and even overlying
moral phrases. Listed under the
subtitle OFFENSES AGAINST
PUBLIC MORALITY AND
DECENCY is the only statute
which is in any way, shape, or
form relevant to the offense of
homosexuality. State Statute
4336 titled CRIME AGAINST
NATURE reads “If any person
shall commit the abominable and
detestable crime aginst nature,
with mankind or beast, he shall be
imprisoned in the state’s prison
not less than five nor more than
sixty years”. Now any term such
as this in a law book must be
qualified by a definition usually
arrived at when the first case
concerning such a law is brought
before the court.
The language used in the
precedent-setting cases was just as
slippery. The nearest thing to a
definition your reporter could
find was made by the presiding
judge in case of State vs. Fenner.
He referred to “it” as “the
abominable crime not fit to be
named among Christians”.
The question then is can the
public know what is meant? It is
assumed by the courts that the
pubhc can, evidently, since the
North Carohna Supreme Court
has ruled repeatedly that the law
is not ambiguous. It has been
observed that, even today, people
are not quite ready to talk
absolutely freely about
homosexuality. This is another
handicap that the Gay
Liberationists face.
Vice squad has
more to do...
Gay Liberation, having been
patterened after both the Third
World and Women’s Liberation
Movements, is an effort by
homosexuals and for homosexuals
to shed the stereotypes and
prejudices which they feel have
been forced onto them by a
chauvinist society. It is NOT a
bootstrap attempt to reform. In
their own words, “Beyond all the
Freudian rot about our mothers
and fathers, and the phony
masculine myths of our
inadequacies, lies something that
bullshit theories can’t explain
away: we LIKE making love with
people of the same sex. We feel
good and whole making love. We
want to remain homosexual.”
However, to understand a
movement, and more particularly
the members of the movement,
one must first understand the
environment in which the
movement lives. Isn’t
homosexuality against the law or
something hke that? Have you
ever wondered just what the laws
say about two members of the
same sex engaging in any sexual
activity? And if there’s a law how
is it enforced, particularly around
Charlotte?
Plainclothes vice squad
members regularly patrol known
homosexual bars, but are
primarily interested in
apprehending a thief rather than a
homosexual. Most trouble at gay
bars is caused by outsiders usually
just looking for a brawl. Police
may be called by the bar owner
when a “straight” troublemaker
starts making noise.
A plainclothes policeman can,
however, make an arrest if he is
soUcited or witnesses solicitation
for homosexuahty. There have
been recent convictions for
solicitation but this is only a
rmsdemeanor and does not carry
with it a stiff prison sentence.
There have been no local
convictions for homosexuality
itself in recent years; thus, no
person is serving time now for
committing acts of
homosexuality.

Few of the tights in the gay
bars are between homosexuals.
Most of the patrons seem to keep
to themselves. The police
department, in fact stresses them
to get out of the dark areas for
their own protection. The vice
squad feels that it has more
important things to attend to than
to arrest someone just for being a
homosexual.
This is the official position of a
law enforcement agency of a
society but what about the
unofficial and often
uncomfortable feelings about
homosexuals held by the members
of that society? What makes a
homosexual and what produces all
the jirejudices and abhorrations
which are thrown at them? Maybe
next week.
A talk with lieutinant Vernon
Shuler of the Charlotte Vice
Squad revealed an interesting new
angle. Despite popular notion that
police round up homosexuals
much the same as they herd
drunks downtown, Lieutinant
Shuler stated that the main
concern of the Vice Squad is to
protect the gay bar patrons
against those of the criminal
element who might victimize
them. A popular procedure is for
a male to dress as a female (not
masquerade, just imitation), go
into a gay bar, and wait for a
pick-up. Once the pick-up is made
the victim is persuaded to
accompany the imposter to
another part of town where
several of the latter’s friends are
waiting. There they promptly
“roll” the victim for money and
jewelry and perhaps even assault
or murder him.

Saga wants
them out
by fames cuthbertson
Early in the summer, when it
became apparent that Saga Foods
was preparing to initiate action to
keep the commuters out of the
dorm cafeteria, the Student
Legislature pass^ a resolution
condemning the action because
we felt that it was unjust to 75%
of our student body and would
lend to further dorm-commuter
polarization. After discussions
with Dr. Cone and Mr.Vaughn, I
understood that no policy had
been established at that time and
that no action had been taken to
keep commuters out of the
cafeteria.
When school opened, I was
surprised that Saga's doorchecker
would not admit commuters. To
rny dismay, after another
discussion with Mr. Vaughn, I
learned that he had never told me
that commuters could come in the
cafeteria to sit down and talk to
dorm students. Saga wants them
out because they feel that
commuters will steal food. In
other words, they are punishing
the whole student body for their
ineptness at catching pilferers.
Evidently, Saga does not know
that the residence hall courts have
jurisdiction over these offenses.
Will the student body of UNCC
stand by and let Saga and the
Administration do this. NO
SAGA, We've just begun to fight.
