JACKSON The “homosexual dilemma” was discussed by a panel last month at Washington State Uni versity, according to the school newspaper, The Daily Evergreen. The panel was composed of two speakers, Jim Broderickson and Lori Jaffe, who made their pres entation to a standing room only crowd. They emphasized that “the panel isn’t trying to solicit homosexuality and that this is an objective look at homosexuality.” Both speakers dealt with the stereotyping of homosexuals. “Homosexuals come out of many different life styles,” stat ed Broderickson, “and we’re all people.” He said that people are ‘basically bisexual” to varying degrees and that he wasn’t “try ing to get people to accept us but trying to get them to understand us.” Citing three difficulties of be ing a lesbian, Lori Jaffe said she found it harder to be a hetero sexual woman than gay. Oppression in jobs and prob lems in adopting children were stated as major difficulties faced by lesbians. Miss Jaffe said movies create the bad stereotype of homosex uals and that “if a movie were made about an everyday homo sexual relationship, it would be a bombshell.” A poll taken last month by Dr. Robert Curl at Rice indicated an overwhelming majority of Rice students favored the implementa tion of some kind of on-campus coeducational living arrange ment.

C., by forming into political collectives and edu cate people to the anti-war move ment. Antiwar actions by GI’s are radically changing the war, she said. “There is a new kind of soldier today. He is not a John Wayne freak.” As one example of this image, the activist actress cited a new GI practice called “fragging.” Miss Fonda explained this as soldiers putting a price on the head of an officer they don’t like. Each soldier in the outfit puts a few dollars in the pot to raise the reward and one of them rolls a grenade under the tent of the officer. “One soldier told me he has killed more officers than Vietna mese,” Jane said.
