Everyone knows that Maine is Vacationland and the way life should be (full of lobsters and loons), but we also have plenty of another commodity- hate. If you are not a member of a group traditionally persecuted, then you have nothing to worry about, right? Hate in Maine takes on many faces and is felt by many group and many people. Charlie Howard's name comes to mind. This summer, concerned Maine people gathered to honor his memory and not let his death be in vain. Howard was thrown to his death off a bridge by three teenagers in the city …

I am writing in regard to recent episodes of the locally written comic strip, "Screwballs," that the Campus prints. The episodes that I am concerned with are the ones depicting the Wilde Stein Club members as evil, neo-Nazi monsters.

Imagine yourself if you will, walking down a dark side walk somewhere on campus. It just so happens that on this particular night you are wearing jeans and by coincidence it happens to be Friday, alias "Gay Jeans Day." The next thing you know five or six gays approach you giving a sales pitch about the Wilde-Stein club. Talk about your queer situation.

The "Red Scare" of the fifties, when Communists were supposedly infiltrating every facet of life in the U.S., has been replaced by the "Gay Scare" of the seventies. An the ones who perpetuate the "Gay Scare" are as close-minded, misinformed and scared as the late Senator Joseph McCarthy was when he vigorously campaigned against the Community ghosts.
