PENNSYLVANIA GBSA strives for harmony between sexes Despite more women members, By WENDY KOPS Collegian Staff Writer Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Student Alliance members agree that although the climate for women in the group is imprpving, sexism still Women in the group must first deal with the fact that there are more men in the group. At an average meeting this semester, there are about 15 women present out of 50 members. "That's a big improvement," said Catharine Buck, LGBSA political co-director. "It's been really difficult because there's more men in the group." Men outnumber women in LGBSA because women usually reveal their sexual orientations later than men, Buck said. "To have someone come out as I did, at 17, is pretty unusual," said Buck (sophomore-English).

"Men and women experience being gay dif ferently," said Fabian (senior-molecular cell biology). "It would be nice to come out to a sea of women because those are the people you relate to." Tony D'Augelli, an LGBSA adviser, said there is more visibility for men and there will always be more men in lesbian, gay and bisexual groups in a university setting.

"The only way for us all to work together is to take care of each other," she said. Jeff Kemp, LGBSA social/educational co-director, said the climate is much better than three years ago. He added that when he became involved in LGBSA, men had little or no understanding of women in the group. "I think there's improvement, but I don't think it's where it needs to be," said Kemp (senior rehabilitation services). "We have to take the time to educate our own members." Buck and Fabian, newly elected officers, plan to organize programs to educate LGBSA mem bers about sexism and racism. "Sometimes it comes down to laying down the law," Buck said. "I think it's important to have strong women in leadership roles who aren't willing to be stomped on by the men." STARTING: Now. 'XI -I =
