Jeans Day A Success, Says Steiner, Doug Bailey, Ann Fridinger

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Despite some student opposition and organizational problems, Friday's Gay Blue Jeans Day was termed a success by one club member. "There seemed to be many people wearing jeans and not as many counter-protesters as last year," said Tim Lane, a member of the Wilde-Stein Club, UMO's homosexual organization. "Last year there was much more opposition to the event."

We-Them' Inhumanity, G. J. Svoboda Ii

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

I am saddened by your editorial endorsement of "quiet complacency" by suggesting that the Gay community would have been better off respecting the individualist dictum of "You do your thing and I'll do mine."

Norm L. Mann, Norm L. Mann, Kathi Williams

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

I wore jeans last Friday in support of the gay community and their rights as individuals. After experiencing the attitude and prejudices of some of my fellow students, I wrote this sort of conglomerate of their opinions: "Phew! Am I glad "gay day" is over! Now I can put my good ole jeans on again.

Sex Equity Dealt With In Stages, Richard Mulhern

Strange Glances And Obscenities, Rick Dempsey

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

John, known by his friends for never having a bad word to say about anybody, and also known to be the last one to catch up on the latest news on campus, awakes Friday morning and slips into his faded jeans as usual.

An Obvious Barrier Builder, Ken Adams

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Dear Wilde-Steiners, What is your problem anyway? Have you ever heard of learning from experience? The Wilde-Stein club survives very well in the UMO community. Due to a general atmosphere of indifference, you are able to meet and enjoy your rights with little interference from your fellow students. If you claim: "We just want the freedom to be able to live our lives the way we want," fine...do that. We at UMO have not stopped you from being able to achieve this in the past.

Blue Jeans Fever, The Maine Campus

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

The UMO Wilde-Stein club missed the nail completely in promoting another Gay Blue Jeans Day on campus. While their message—gays are human and deserve to be treated as such—is relevant, their form of expression is a bad choice.

Gays Plan Jeans Day, The Maine Campus

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

The sign, printed on a small sheet of paper, says "Feminism is not a dirty word." It is just one of may posters, flyers and pamphlets about women adorning the walls of Ellen Weissman's office in Fernald Hall. It is the best indication of her philosophy.

A Kentucky Dressmaker, Mrs. A.H. (Carrie) Taylor: An Examination Of Her Role In Fashion At The Turn Of The Century, Janice Centers

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

One dressmaker, Mrs. A. H. Taylor of Bowling Green, Kentucky, was studied in order to draw attention to the role of the dressmaker in American fashion. A biography of Mrs. A. H. Taylor and the business history were compiled; available designs were analyzed in relation to current fashion; and an investigation of the business organization was made.
