Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor:

In an effort to establish a
communication network between straight
persons who are or have been partners of
lesbians or gay persons, I am writing to
request that you print the enclosed
information in your publication "Out in the
Mountains." One of my goals is to form a
support group in Vermont to deal with
some of the issues which tend to isolate us.
I am also very interested in receiving as well
as providing information about organizations
which support straight spouses of lesbian or
gay persons.

Anyone who wishes to contact me
should do so by writing to VPLG, Box 5,
Court Street Marketplace, Middlebury,
Vermont 05753. I would very much
appreciate your support.

Sincerely
Lindra White

Dear Editor:

Referring again to the medical
establishment, I submit that there was one
important editorial omission in my review of
the film A Virus Respects No Morals
(OITM Sept. 1987). The deleted sentence,
"...As research laboratory for drug companies
and psychiatrists", was perhaps tangential to
the AIDS problem, but analogously relevant.
If I had said "physicians" instead of
"psychiatrists" everything would have been in
order.

Burton Rubenstein

Because of very limited space,

OITM regretfully cannot print poetry

submissions. Letters to the Editor
should be 200 words or less.

Thank you.

Happy Fifth Anniversary

GLBA Looks to New Year

The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual Alliance
(GLBA) is a student run group that is
entering its fourth year on campus.
Membership has increased annually and
GLBA is expecting a large and active
membership this fall. Among the events
planned for the upcoming semester include
monthly dances, the next being held on
Thursday, October 15 at 8:00, a foliage trip
to Brattleboro, a coffeehouse for gay faculty
and staff, and our biggest project will be to
bring the alliance to the March on
Washington. Our weekly meetings will be
on Mondays, at 7:30 in the comfortable
International Students Lounge at B-180 L/L.

A new service being provided by GLBA
to the UVM community this year will be a
Gay Hotline. Hours of the hotline will be
Tuesdays and Fridays 7Vp.m. - 9 p.m.,
beginning Friday, September 4. More hours
will be added as the semester progresses.
Our # is 658-0699. '

GLBA Starts Hotline

With the intent of giving University of
Vermont freshmen easy access to the
campus gay community, the Gay, Lesbian
and Bisexual Alliance at UVM started a
telephone hotline service at the beginning of
the fall semester. Although the initial
response has been less than overwhelming,
we’re hoping that with increased publicity
through advertising and word of mouth that
the hotline will become a valuable resource
to gay people throughout the state. In
anticipation of that day, the Alliance is
trying to put together as extensive a list of
resources as possible. In addition to
organizations specifically for gay people, we
need to ‘know names of lawyers, counselors,
doctors, real estate agents, and anyone else
you can think of who is receptive and
familiar with gay clients. If there is anyone
in your area that provides services that
could be helpful to the gay community,
please send their name, address, phone
number, occupation and any other helpful
information to:

GLBA
Billings Center, UVM
Burlington, VT 05404
Your information could make someone’s

life a lot easier.
