"I didn't have to de scribe something. "The students could just go out and see it for themselves," he said. Bornstein said the students form lasting relationships on the Italy trip. "Because you are living togeth er, eating together and spending time together, the experience goes beyond being just educational," Bornstein said. Other schools attend the Chiara Center, but A&M students attend classes exclusively with other A&M students. Bornstein said many students who attended the program when he taught it still visit him. Social events are held frequently to re unite the students. "Many students form lasting bonds and friendships," he said. Tombari said he agrees that the friendships he formed while on the Italy trip were invaluable. "I see the people who were on my trip all the time," Tombari said. "The friendships you make last." The Santa Chiara Center is lo cated in Castiglion Fiorentino, Italy. "The town is small, so you soon start to feel like you belong there," Bornstein said. "It's an ex traordinary opportunity to live in a foreign country rather than just pass through it." Bornstein said the Santa Chiara Center is only a few hours from major Italian cities, like Rome and Florence. "If students want to travel around Europe, the opportunities are endless," Tombari said. Students can take many trips throughout Italy and can study abroad on their own after the pro gram is completed. The deadline for registering for this summer's program has al ready passed. But students can still register for the 1994 pro grams. Students can study abroad at any time in their academic career, provided they are in good stand ing with the University and have at least a 2.0 grade point average. The cost of next spring's trip is expected to be $6,800. This cost covers a deposit, round-trip air fare from Houston, all ground transportation, accommodations, most meals, insurance and other related expenses. Students are expected to pay for their own books, tuition, fees, personal expenses and other "If students want to travel around Europe, the opportunities are endless." -Chris Tombardi Senior English major Wednesda meals. Information about finan cial aid is available for the Italy program at Santa Chiara Day. Students who cannot attend to morrow's event can visit the Study Abroad Program Office 161 Bizzell Hall West for more in formation. Gage will host the event opening ceremonies at 12 p.m. and artwork from Paolo Baruc- chieri will be auctioned from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. Free samples of espresso be provided by Espresso Plus and drawings will be held for free din ners from Rosalie's Pasta and Cenare from 1 p.m. to 3 pm. Tombari, who now works for the study abroad office, encour ages students to attend Wednes day's event and to sign up for the Italy trip. "You leave with a whole differ ent view of America and a wider perspective of how to function as a minority in a different culture,' Tombari said. Gay life Continued from Page 1 to something like this," he said. Jayson said those who partici pated in the March on Washing ton in 1987, described it as a life changing experience to be among hundreds of thousands of other gay and lesbian people. "It's very empowering," he said. "What I want for everybody who goes is to be able to experi ence that. Not to GET anything. I think a much more important part of the march is just the experi ence." One concern of Jayson's is the lack of coverage he believes the '87 March received. "Newsweek, Time - none of the major media touched it," he said. "But I think now the climate is right. I think we're about to hit on a new era." in the minority or he was lying,'" Clay said, "and I told my friend you can tell them this: I'm not the minority of gay people in the mili tary; I'm the majority. I was in the top 10 percent of my unit. I was always ranked high, and I was al ways an overachiever." Clay said the military's main con cern should be the sexual conduct of its members, not sexual orienta tion. He strongly believes that everyone should be held to the same standards of behavior, and that social and military lives should never mix. "I think it's opened a lot of people's eyes who are in the Corps here that there really are gay people in the military," Clay said. "It's not something we just hear about." Clay also works with GLSS to educate students in a non-defen sive and personal way about ho- "What we do behind closed doors with our sexual partners, who we fall in love with - is the smallest part of our personality," -Dawn A&M student ing out. I think we are changing people's perceptions." Clay Clay served eight years in the U.S. Marine Corps, spending much of that time as a drill sergeant. He spent all of that time "in the closet." When the debate over allowing gays to serve in the military reached A&M, Clay wrote an arti cle about his experiences in the military for The Battalion earlier this semester. "Two people have come up to me who've said that the reason they've come out of the closet was because of my story," he said. "The story accomplished its pur pose; I was trying to reach out to people who may have dealt with the same thing." Clay said the only negative re action he heard was from a few Corps members in a friend's class. "They were talking and they said, 'Well, this guy was probably "Two people have come up to me who've said that the reason they've come out of the closet was because of my story." -Clap former U.S. Marine "...

He said that experi ence is an overwhelmingly posi tive way to answer questions about stereotypes. "People have come up to me and have seen me on panels and have said, T want to thank you for doing what you're doing. You've really changed my opinions,'" Clay said. "In another class, a professor said that there were two Corps guys ... who'd said I'd shat tered every image they'd ever had." Clay said despite some progress, there are still negative perceptions. "Answering the Gayline I get the other extreme - people who call and talk dirty to the machine and say things like 'Fag,' and 'Queers,' and 'You're all going to die of AIDS,'" Clay said. "That's really subsided because I think we really are having an impact by be- TEXAS A&M ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT GARAGE SALE Saturday at 8 a.m. G.

Dawn Dawn said the way to change perceptions about the gay com munity is to make it more visible. She wants to do that next year by making GLSS more involved on campus. "I think GLSS should be open,' she said. "I think the best way to show the community that we're real is to be in the community, and not have our MSC booth and the paper be the only places where people see that GLSS ex ists. It should interact with other organizations; it should go to Event and other big campus events." She said she also is interested in changing the programming at the meetings to cover issues intere»L the entire campus. Dawn said GLSS should live up to its name - to be a community service organization that serves everyone, not just the gay community. "I want to get the issues that everyone wants to hear," Dawn said. "Although we're here for the gay and lesbian students to try to help them through all the diffi culties that being gay on any cam pus would include. I'd like to see our membership of straight peo ple increase. One of our straight members offered to serve on our board, and I think that's wonder ful." Gay, lesbian and bisexual Ag gies said they did not come here to be gay. Many did not even re alize they were gay until after they were here, and they want to grow beyond society's stereo types. Stacey, who is a lesbian, said gays are just like anybody else. "What we do behind closed doors with our sexual partners, who we fall in love with - is the smallest part of our personality," she said. "We're doctors, lawyers, everything - we're everywhere. It's not just who we sleep with. "I don't think it (being gay) even has anything to do with my personality,' Stacey said. "But a lot of people think it does. They're looking at the typical les bian or gay male stereotype. I'm not sure that even exists any more."
