TL VIV9v I II As strange as it may sound I had a gay experience last Halloween. I suppose it wasn't a total gay experience because I only made it half-wav through the r Don Weatherbee Editorial Page Editor door of a third-floor Russell House bathroom before I retraced my steps. I unexpectedly interrupted a loving couple in the men's room, but I was Vt shocked and disgusted ? only disgusted. After all, I had learned Russell House gays weren't uncommon. AFTER almost four years at USC, with one and onehalf of those years spent working in the Russell House, I developed a "gay awareness." I was aware of mens' names, telephone numbers- and drawings / nnrKonc m orln Kt r fKn vpvi liapo m llQtlv KJJ U1C 111U1 C exercised gay artists) that appeared mysteriously written or scratched on bathroom walls and then disappeared along with the good stuff when the walls were later cleaned. I was aware through past reports by campus sources that Russell House homos are not simply Halloween phenonema, although the image fits. Gays were the subject of news articles in the past, complete with witnessess' accounts of sporadic violence, and ofthi 1 Fiest dp of ca lay, Noveii 5:30 ? 8: :rom Our Buff onions, green f of rice), Tacos, ; Refritos (Refi with cheese.), Hal 3ans and mushro iaucamole Huevas s, Corn bread Sqi Wine & E L tip included reservations e Closet !

AND I was aware, with all this knowledge, that I was going to avoid any peculiar confrontations in the Russell House. So, I will share with myself part of the disgust I felt toward those two men last Halloween. I am disgusted with myself, not because I neglected to avoid two homos, but because I've been trying to avoid an unavoidable issue. I never fully realized that gays are tumbling out of the closet like so much dirty laundry. Although the Bible says God created Adam and Eve, somewhere along the line someone created an Adam and Steve, because homosexuality has been around a long time.

But being the liberal sort of person that I am, I'm content with the reasonable objective of trying to put the gays back in the closet with the dirty laundry, or least i getting them out of the university's bathrooms. : AT FIRST I thought mavbe eavs would be dissuaded if maintenance installed hard-to-turn doorknobs on the bathroom doors, but then I realized two gays would open the doors easily.

He then suggested placing weight-triggered alarm systems in the bathrooms that would sound the alert when more than one man occupied small areas in the a bathrooms. But this suggestion fails for the same reason his first one did. SO I AM still open to suggestions, preferably from heterosexual readers who have to cope with the same problem. Until an enforceable plan to liberate the bathrooms is designed and put into effect, I and many other heterosexuals a will continue to be in- ^ timidated. n.nnxr I V W JLX ?)ina, Columbia, S.C. 1908 | Advertising: 777-4249 Production: 777-28 JJ Editor Tracy Helms Sports Iditor |im Corbett Asst.
