The Detectives
BY JAMES R. 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.

Carl said the results indicated
“an obviously strong expression
of student opinion.” Seventy-six
and eight tenths per cent of all
undergraduates registered at
Rice voted in the poll and 85 per
cent registered approval on the
question, “Are you in favor of
establishing a system of coed col
leges here on the Rice campus?”
Jane Fonda, speaking last
month at the University of Hous
ton and the University of Texas,
said, “If by May no date has
been set for complete withdrawal
(from Vietnam), great numbers
of people, perhaps 50,000, will
bring Washington to a stop with
sit-ins and other planned organ
ized massive non-violent civil dis
obedience.”
Miss Fonda, actress and organ
izer against the oppression of
blacks, whites, Chicanos, women,
gay people, GI’s, and the Vietna
mese, asked antiwar groups to
prepare for a mass rally in
Washington, D. 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.
