Associated Press HAMPTON, Va. —The attorney forT. Sgt. Leonard P. Matlovich, an admitted gay, told an Air Force dis charge board here Tuesday that the military’s historic ban on homosex uals violates their constitutional right to privacy. The Air Force regulation calling for automatic discharge of gay ser vicemen is unlawful because it im poses “the morality of the majority on its employes, said attornev Susan Hewman. Ms. Hewman is one of two American Civil Liberties Union lawyers who are representing Mat lovich, 32, who has been decorated during his 12 years in the Air Force, in the hearing that began Tuesday. Matlovich himself prompted the hearing at Langley Air Force Base, where he serves as an instructor in race relations, when he wrote the secretary of the Air Force in March to admit his homosexuality. His admission was designed to produce a test of the military regula tions that prohibit the retention of homosexuals by the military once their sex deviation is discov ered. The government contends that the presence of homosexuals in military ranks would hamper re cruitment, destroy morale and offer foreign agents a chance for blackmail. Ms. Hewman asked the discharge board of two majors, two lieutenant colonels and a colonel at the outset of the hearing Tuesday specifically to overturn the Air Force ban on homosexuals. Her motion was quickly denied by the boards legal adviser, Col. Robert E. Shank, 52, who senes the hoard in the capacitv of a civ il court judge. Each of the five officers on the board was closely questioned as to whether he had formed prior opin ions i the case. Each said he had not. Matlovich, son of an Air Force sergeant, showed little emotion as the hearing— which the Air Force said might last a week — often hog ged down on technical issues in its opening hours. Now and then, the slender, dark-haired, defendant glanced around the room at the tiny crowd. At the lunch break he dashed quickly to his car, declining to ans wer most questions. Asked by one newsman whether he thought all homosexuals in the military should make themselves known as he did, he replied: “That s an individual question they must answer themselv es. Matlov ich has said he isn’t in terested in becoming a symbold gav liberation. Most ol all, he km said, he wants to he permitted It stay in the Air Force because "mi heart is with the military." He said last week be thinks lit discharge hoard will rule agaiinl him, but that if it does he will cam his case to the federal courts. Matlovich sen ed three toursit Vietnam and received the Purple Heart when he was wounded. lima Ian AMERICA S FAVORITE PIZZA Share a Our regular $1 89 Spaghetti Dinner with meatsauce. served In true Italian style with garden fresh salad and garlic toast. today.

Sorry, No Camera or Recording Equipment Allowed ©MMMMMMfiMMMl Associated Press AUSTIN Girls are being dis criminated against in Texas public schools, the Women’s Equity Ac tion League and the Texas Civil Liberties Union said Tuesday in fil ing charges against the Texas Edu cation Agency. “Our charges were filed with the federal government against the Texas Education Agency after three years of attempts to get various Texas school districts to comply vol untarily with federal law, which prohibits sex discrimination in the public schools. Dr. Paula Latimer, speaking for the Equity League, told a news conference. “Since both Texas schools and Washington agencies have proven themselves indifferent to these vio lations of federal law, we have de cided to take the issue to court, fil ing suit against the Texas Education Agency. She said that charges were filed Tuesday with the Equal Employ ment Opportunity Commission in San Antonio. "If there are no concrete changes, we II he back in six months with a court suit, she said. Dr. Latimer said that although 70 per cent of Texas teachers are wo men, only 20 per cent are school administrators. She said schools allot about 95 per cent of their athletic budgets to hoys. "Girls get just fiv e cents out of ev ery athletic dollar, are not al lowed to play many sports and are offered almost no interscholastic competition, she said. She also said that girls are re quired or counseled to take “feminine courses, such as typing and home economies, which hoys are not allowed to take or are dis couraged from taking. Similarly, such “male” courses as printing or shop are virtually or literally closed to girls, she said. <T5 <35 <35 <3> <35 <3> <35 <35 <3> <3) <3> <3> <35 <3> <35 <35 <35 <35 <3> <3> <35 <35 <35 r- 3 <3: The Country Kitchen Proudly presents: Catfish & Chicken Supported by Hush Puppies Cole Slaw French Fries Ranch Style Beans All You Can Eat" $0" Coke, Dr, Pepper, Milk, Tea, Coffee $J 99 Childs Plate .ider 10 99 c Childs Plate Under 3 FREE!
