Reaching The 'Ignorant' Is Gay Challenge, Steven G. Bull

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Now that the long-awaited Maine Gay Symposium has passed, I have a few reflections on its implications, the future of the Wilde-Stein Club on this campus, and the reactions of the university community.

Common Sense Choices, The Maine Campus

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

The Maine Gay Symposium has passed without incident, but the University of Maine Board of Trustees is not out of the frying pan yet. The Trustees have tempted the flames of public opinion by standing up for rights of free speech and assembly, but indications are they may jump into the fire of indignant student wrath by tampering with our rights of representation in two crucial decisions.

Not Gays, But 'Backward' Reactionaries Display Decadence On College Campuses, James E. Angell, Leslie I. Davis

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Students, take note. We may be observing the end of civil liberty in Maine. We refer to the actions of those who commit and allow demonstrations of innate thick-headedness such as those aimed at this weekend's gay symposium.

Maine Gay Symposium Stresses Two Themes: A Re-Evaluation Of The Homosexual Self-Image And 'Coming Out', Bill Ferguson, Steve Ward

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

"Homosexuality and gay liberation are symptoms of a sexually healthy society," said activist Morty Manford at the Maine Gay Symposium here Saturday. Over 300 paying observers attended the well-organized gathering which met with no violent opposition, picketing, or demonstrations as had been feared by some UMO administrators. A team of four campus policemen guarded the affair which was sponsored by the Wilde-Stein Club, UMO's gay group.

Maine Called Crucial Area For Homosexual Movement, Debbie Winsor

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Describing homosexuality as the "crime too heinous to be mentioned by the parents of today's youth," Dr. Howard J. Brown, founder of the National Gay Task Force, issued a plea Wednesday night to today's generation to join the fight against homosexual discrimination.

Gay Symposium Guests May Face Housing Problems, Kate Arno

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Despite loud dissent from a number of residents, Somerset Hall has been the most responsive Hilltop dorm to a need for housing for guests attending the Maine Gay Symposium on campus this weekend. Members of the campus Wilde-Stein Club, hosts for the statewide convention, could not get space for weekend guests at Augusta Hall on the Bangor campus where accommodations are usually made for those attending conventions at the university. Members of the DeMolay are staying there this weekend.

In a conversation dominated by the Wilde-Stein issue, Augusta mayor and state legislator, Stanley J. Sproul said he does not support the trustees' decision regarding the club. Eleven people were on hand to hear the Republican gubernatorial candidate in this June's primary answer questions in another of the Meet the Candidate series.

Ws-C Has Right, Too, Stuart J. Chason

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

The people of Maine have demonstrated to an overwhelming degree their close-mindedness and inability to cope with this ever changing world in which we live. Throughout the past weeks, thousands of citizens have condemned the Wilde-Stein Club at the UMO campus because its so-called "decadent immoral character" and the projected injurious influence of this club upon the "citizens' children at UMO."

The Other Side Of The Bible Battle…From Rev. Robert Gass, Robert Gass

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

What a paradox! After likening fundamental preachers to such things as "two-bit Latin American dictators," "Theological perverts," religious witch hunters who merchandise the Gospel for profit and preach an "upside-down gospel" of fear and hatred and finally suggesting that we missed our true calling since we should be planting corn instead of preaching Christ, the Rev. Walter Thompson goes on to say that what we all need is more love and less of a spirit of judgement.

Wilde-Stein Gets Funds, But Dls Stipulations Added, The Maine Campus

Turning The Tender Cheek, The Maine Campus

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

They say what goes up must come down. The law of gravity was proven once again last weekend. Friday afternoon was a planned faculty meeting designed to vocalize encouragement and support of the trustees' stand upholding the rights of the club appeared as a singular vestige of hope amid repeated setbacks and disappointments. This hope was quickly slashed when only ten faculty members bothered to appear at the meeting.
