Western Carolina University -- Students -- Attitudes

These September 19, 1985 columns by Billy Graham, sports editor for the Western Carolinian, and staff writer Robb Schrof. Schrof and Graham write humor, often directed at each other. In this week's issue, they both agree that the campus is showing its close-mindedness when it comes to the new organization, Lavender Bridges. Lavender Bridges, an anonymously founded student organization open to all individuals, aimed to promote awareness of lesbian and gay lifestyle, provide lesbian and gay resources, and increase communication with all students and community members. The first organizational meeting took place October 10, 1985 and was officially recognized by the office of Student Development on December 13, 1985. The last mention of the group appeared in the October 10, 1991 issue of the Western Carolinian.
