SAN FRANCISCO Vol. 71. No. 7 October 20,1976 Gays organizing by Corrine Carvalho On Tuesday night, October 19, the Alliance for Gay Awareness applied to the ASUSF Senate for an official club status on campus. The Alliance has met many obstacles to their formation, which an official status may clear up. The group, a direct result of a class on homosexuality conducted last year, seeks to educate people about the problems, fears and presence of gays. The group met its first obstacle when they sought a room for the club's initial meeting. A formal meeting room was denied to them because they were not an official club. Casey Brown, one of the group's co-chairpersons, remarked that other unofficial groups have been granted meeting rooms before. Next, the club leaders heard that the President's Council was going to issue a statement against all gay groups on campus since the office of the president "interprets" them to be opposed by the Catholic Church. Casey and Laura Grotz, the other co-chairperson, pointed out this seemed unfair since groups that don't support Catholic ethical principles have been allowed to form on campus. The chairpersons also pointed out that if the administration can stop the formation of this club, they could, theoretically, prevent any club that they did not like from functioning. Although the Gay Alliance has encountered much support from students, faculty, and even members of the administration, many administrators are afraid of a loss of financial backers if the club becomes official. The group did meet, however on October 1 and drew up a charter. The Alliance for Gay Awareness sees its main function as an educator. They would like to help gays with their particular problems. They also would like to deal with many of the stereotypes and fears seen in the general public towards gays. Indoctrination reconsidered by Phillip Marcou "I personally hope that U.S.F. is not a Catholic University," said Theology Student Union President Joseph Van de Mortel in his speech on the Philosophy Colloquiem question: Is U.S.F. a Catholic University? Van de Mortel, whose speech was the last of the six given during the Colloquiem, expressed his belief that a Catholic University should be first and foremost a university and only nominally Catholic. A university's prime purpose he added is to help students seek truth. The establishment in a university of any specific ideological character, in Van de Mortel's view, interferes with academic and intellectual freedom and consequently, the search for truth. Van de Mortel's position was diametrically opposed to that of the Collo- quiem's second speaker, St. Ignatius Institute Head Father Fessio. Father Fessio in his speech stated that he felt that a Catholic and specifically, Jesuit, university should be based upon the principles laid down by St. Ignatius. He quoted from St. Ignatius, saying that the ultimate goal of man was to glorify and worship God and to obey and love the hierarchical Catholic Church, His representative on earth. This, Father Fessio indicated, should be the goal toward which a Jesuit Catholic university is directed. The other four speakers, Computer Science Prof. Michael Kudlick, Philosophy Chairman Desmond Fitzgerald, Econ. Prof. Hartman Fischer, and Philosophy Student Union Pres. Peter Hess took a more moderate position. Some such as Michael Kudlick, approached the question from a humanitarian prospective, stressing a Catholic university's responsibility to present and discuss the moral issues involved in such areas as business and science. Others like Desmond Fitzgerald, spoke of a Catholic university's need for both academic freedom and the expression of its own Christian views. A heated debate erupted as the question was opened up to the audience following Van de Mortel's speech. One of the central questions raised in the discussion was how the search for truth should be conducted in a Catholic university and if stressing the Catholic position and hav- Continued on Page 4 The seven new ASUSF Senate members peer down at the old senate and pledge to breathe new life into it.

School Board candidate, and representatives of all the major media in the Bay Area. Chavez's address which was embodied into the Mass itself attacked California's agribusiness establishment as being responsible for the United Farm Workers taking their cause directly to the people via the initiative because agribusiness lost so many elections under the original Agricultural Labor Relations Act of 1975. Now that the farm workers have got their initiative on the ballot the agribusiness community is trying to "buy" the election Chavez said. In light of all the legal precedents, Chavez stated.
