A resolution that would have granted $200 to the Wilde-Stein Club was defeated by the Student Senate Tuesday night after nearly an hour of emotional debate. The resolution, defeated by a vote of 28-10-3, was introduced in the Senate last week after the group was granted $150. The original request for $400 made by the Wilde-Stein Club was reduced at a Finance Committee meeting to $150.

Oh, boy. Here we go again. First we learn that UMO Student Senate has suddenly decided they can't give the Wilde-Stein Club $300 to help finance for their scheduled gay conference. Next, we find out that the Republican House members, during a party caucus, decided they can't consider giving the University of Maine any more money until the Board of Trustees reneges on their decision to let the gays hold the statewide conference at UMO.

The new library circulation policy announced by Dr. James MacCampbell is deficient in one area--it does not apply to the faculty. Students who have been at UMO for any length of time know very well that this is nothing extraordinary. Faculty members have long been held above the student as a privileged class. Their extensive library privileges are just one facet of the caste system fostered by university policy.

Documentation of the University of Maine Board of Trustees "Statement of Resolution" approved and adopted on January 23, 1974. "Recognizing that many citizens have differing views on the matter of who and which groups should have an opportunity to meet on our University campuses, the Board of Trustees reaffirms the previous policy as approved in 1967 and 1969 of open campuses and the greatest amount of freedom of speech and of dissemination of ideas. Accordingly, we see no reason to deny any student group the right to meet on our University campuses for lawful purposes or in accordance with University …

Making The Grade: Motivating Factor Or Outmoded Barrier To Academic Achievement?, Jeffrey W. Beebe, Rhette Wieland
Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
Education is fast approaching the stage where students are crossing a line between a desire to succeed and the fear of failure. Although UMO tends to shrug off the pressure of grades, many students them of great concern. They gulp their meals and rush to the dorms to study, they toss in bed, losing sleep before tests--if they go to bed at all--and many sweat out every test and grading period as if waiting for the Judgetment. The fear of failure is well hidden in most cases, but there it is.

The more I read headlines such as "University Termed Insensitive to Franco-Americans" the more disgusted I get. Such gross and all-encompassing statements lead me to feel pity--pity for those who write articles, make unfounded charges, and generalize and discredit our University. To the aforementioned I ask, "What do you want?"

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
Editorial reaction to language included in the feature story, "Gay Lib. Spokeswoman" which appears in the 1973-04-12 issue of The Maine Campus. There are over 400,000 words in the English language. It is ridiculous to segregate seven, eight, or nine—or even one—of them as totally unsuitable for use in a newspaper. Acting as if certain four-letter words do not exist only adds to the titillating air that surrounds them when they do appear—as they will.

Stewart felt women would improve the atmosphere in the dorms.

Gay liberation has finally come out of the closet in Maine, and it looks like it is out and open to stay. A gay group began last semester at UMO as part of the Abenaki curriculum. Intended as an academic discussion of the social and psychological aspects of homosexuality, the small grou expanded and turned from a discussion to become an active gay social-support group.
