1994: SPANNING THE SPECTURM

KANSAS GAY/LESBIAN/BISEXUAL COLLEGE CONFERENCE


     November is here, and with October being Gay/Lesbian History Month 
and containing NCOD I'm sure everyone has had their hands full in the 
past few weeks.
     Hopefully, you received our announcement about the 
Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual Student College Conference.  The Gay/Lesbian 
Alliance for Resource and Education (GLARE) will again be sponsoring this 
conference at Emporia State University.  The Conference will be held in 
the Kanza and Flinthills rooms upstairs in the Memorial Union of the 
campus.  THE CONFERENCE DATES ARE FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19TH FROM 6:00 PM 
- 12:00 PM AND NOVEMBER 20TH FROM 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM. The conference theme 
is "Spanning The Spectrum" and will focus on ways to strengthen your 
Gay/Lesbian Organization and how to strengthen yourself as a 
Bisexual/Gay/Lesbian/Ally.
     Friday Evening will mark the beginning of the conference with a ROAD 
RALLY at 6:00 PM (a ROAD RALLY is an exciting race against the clock to 
win PRIZES!)  The ROAD RALLY is being used as a fund-raiser for GLARE, so 
$5 a car will be charged.  Then at 9:00 we'll host a dance, so bring your 
music and your dancin' shoes.  GLARE feels it's very important for 
everyone to attend Friday's events to develop a sense of familiarity and 
friendship with the other attenders - besides it's fun!!
     Saturday's events will begin at 9:00 and feature a variety of great 
speakers and exciting topics.  The following list should tempt your 
tastebuds.  The speakers and topics featured are:

PARTNERSHIP AND FAMILY ISSUES IN THE LAW - DAVID BROWN, LAWYER

THE RHETORIC OF HATE/PROPAGANDA AND THE MEDIA - TOM POE, PROFESSOR

COMING OUT FIGHTING - DUSTY GARNER, ACTIVIST

THE DYNAMICS OF OPPRESSION & STRATEGIES TO ELIMINATE IT - LISA REBOY & 
MICHAEL MURPHY, PROFESSORS

STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESS AS A CAMPUS ORGANIZATION - LIZ TALBERT, KU

     There will be no registration fee for the conference; however, 
donations will be taken at the door. Also, there will be a resource are 
for gay and gay-friendly organizations and businesses to display 
information and sell merchandise to the many gay groups that will attend.

     For those who would like to put up displays, attend the conference,
