Wright calls $4,500 expense
for office fireplace justified
FORT WORTH (AP) — House
Speaker Jim Wright says his new
$4,500 Fireplace will add to the dig
nity of his office and keep his ankles
warm in the winter.
The black marble Fireplace is part
of a renovation program for the
speaker’s ofFice. Another $1,100 will
be used to renovate a kitchen.
Drapes and carpeting will be added
at a still undetermined price tag.
Wright, D-Texas, told the Fort
Worth Star-Telegram Tuesday he
believes the renovations are justi-
tied.
“To tell you the truth,” Wright
said of the Fireplace, “I think it’s a
useFul addition to the room. I think
it’s attractive, certainly, and it adds a
little something to the dignity of the
room.”
And he said the Fireplace won’t be
just for looks.
“This is a drafty room,” Wright
said. “I had an electric heater 1 kept
under my desk last winter to keep
my ankles warm.”
Wright sees nothing wrong with
improvements to the Capitol.
“I think they send out positive sig
nals to the public,” Wright said.
“What do you think the public
would have thought if nobody had
modernized or renewed the Capitol
from the time it was First built? You
wouldn’t have any electric ligk
You wouldn’t have any central heat’
The fireplace addition anditscosi
was criticized in a recent syndicated
column by Jack Anderson.
Wright said Washington leaders
have advocated improvements in the
city’s public buildings in the past,
sometimes during crises.
“During the Civil War, Abraham
Lincoln insisted on building tie
dome on the Capitol,” he said/Dut.
ing the Korean War, HarryTruma
built the south balcony on the White
House. During Mr. (Sam) Rayburns
time as speaker, he insisted on tire
whole east front extension (of the
Capitol).

The Metropolitan Community
Church will be registered with the
YMCA in the fall of 1987.
The Student Counseling Serv
ice in the YMCA Building is an
other alternative, offering coun
seling on any subject, says Dr.
Kerry Hope, director of student
counseling.
In addition, a one-hour class
dealing with sensitivity awareness
will be offered by the Department
of Student Affairs under the so
ciology department in the Fall se
mester, says South Area Assistant
Area Coordinator Debbie
Spencer. The class will be re
quired of all future resident ad
visers so they can handle the
needs of students who need coun
seling.
“We want to educate the resi
dent advisers and train them to
be the mediator in roommate dis
putes,” Spencer says. “And if they
cannot handle the subject (like
homosexuality) they will know
which organization to refer the
roommates to,” she says.
Although Spencer has never
heard of a roommate leaving be
cause of sexual preference, oth
ers say it does happen.
Rex, a sophomore in psychol
ogy says, “At the beginning of this
semester I went through four
roommates in one week. It was
not that my roommates looked at
me and thought I was gay, it was
because people love to talk be
hind my back.”

plaining about something other
than his sexual preference, like
smoking, he says.
“The funny thine about it is I
don’t have sex witn other guys
anymore,” Rex says. “There is a
jxiint where I love the mind of
another man more then his
body."
Both Rex and Kyle say homo
sexuality is not just sex between
men, it is a caring — the same car
ing that occurs between hetero
sexuals.
Hickman says he hopes that in
time all lifestyles will be viewed
objectively and equally in the Uni
versity community.
“I hope a time will comeal

types could enter into a debate in
the University community in a
way that is open and without fear
of persecution and incrimination
