This front-page article in the November 7, 1985 issue of the Western Carolinian reports on a meeting between representatives of Lavender Bridges, advisor and professor of Psychology, Joe Milner, and the Student Government Association, which Lavender Bridges would like to be officially recognized by. 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.
