Coming Out Continued from Page 1 “They don’t always nec essarily deal with sexual orientation issues but will help them with financial aid,” Novak said. “ALLIES mainly helps provide stu dents with resources in a comfortable environment.” One of the officers of GLBTA said throughout the year, the organization holds panel presentations where professors can re quest a panel from GLBTA to go talk to their classes. “This helps disprove a lot of myths,” the officer said. The officer said COW is an event that tries to pro mote awareness and un derstanding. “Through COW, we are not trying to come out there and shove it in peo ple’s faces to make them mad. We are just trying to gain a little more accep tance and make people re alize that we are Aggies, too. I believe that anger comes from a lack of un derstanding, and so this week we are trying to let everyone see who we real ly are. However, through the years, 1 have seen the A&M .campus become much more open and ac cepting, so I feel we are making a change towards the better.” Continued from Page 1 Ron Silvia, a city coun cil member, said he be lieves the decision has pos itive aspects, but it is not a good permanent resolution for the city. He said his first concern in making the de cision was the safety of the citizens, and his second concern was the integrity of the neighborhood.
