Board resists anti-bike idea By Richard Burr Of the Emerald The Student University Affairs Board Monday voted to oppose prohibiting bicycle traffic through the closed portion of 13th Street The Transportation subcom mittee of the student-faculty Campus Planning committee discussed such a policy at its last meeting, said SUAB member Mark Lakeman, Some subcommittee members are concerned about protecting pedestrians walking in the area, he said "It seems like the dumbest thing to propose,” said board member Roy Yackulic That would not leave another way to bicycle across campus, he said The suggestion does not deal with the concerns of cyclists, most of whom are students, Lakeman said The board un animously approved the oppo sition motion. The Emerald could not reach other subcommittee members for comment In other business. SUAB dis cussed establishing a gradua tion honors program Students with a grade point index of 3.55 to 3 69 would receive cum laude honors, 3 70 to 3.79 magna cum laude and 3 80 to 4 00 summa cum laude, said Daniel Cohen, an econ omics and mathematics senior who testified before the board The program would recognize students' achievement at the graduation ceremony and on their transcripts, he said The University has not had a graduation honors program for about 10 years, Cohen said Other Pac-10 universities have such programs, he added The proposal will be dis cussed at future SUAB meet ings before it is introduced to the University Senate, said SUAB chairer Dan Allen The board discussed another proposal for future considera tion that would make ASUO presidential appointments to the ASUO Constitution Commit tee subject to SUAB approval. SUAB approves appointments to the Incidental Fee Committee and the EMU Board Because the student govern ment is structured after the federal government. SUAB should approve constitution committee appointments like Congress approves Supreme Court appointments, said SUAB member Lori Lieberman This would provide continuity, she added "You can't appoint any Joe Blow to the Supreme Court," Lieberman said The board also approved two new SUAB members Rick Housh. an English junior, will fill the humanities position and Dennis Bailey, an education and Community Service and Public Affairs senior, will fill the CSPA education post Gays Continued from Page 1 exist, but Funk estimates a gay population of between 6 and 11 percent GALA has an "active constituency" of about 100, and about 250 students participate in GALA'S activities such as rap sessions or support groups, Funk says “But I like to think we speak for a lot more people than that," Funk says Both Funk and Kester are gays who have "come out" — their sexual preferences are no secret Now they feel at ease when talking about their lifestyle. But it hasn't always been so easy Funk was 20 and a student at Oregon State University when he went through his coming-out period Shortly afterward he dropped out "The experiences I had coming out were probably one of the major reasons I quit school," Funk says He remembers sinking into depres sions that once brought him to the brink of suicide "God, that is just horrible," he says While Funk talks of his experiences. Kester nods her head in agreement "The isolation would be the biggest thing I felt. " she says When she came out to friends, the most com mon reaction was politeness Then she would never hear from the friend again But the homosexual movement is making great progress in the 1980s, Funk says ' Right now we're in a consolidation phase, dealing with the courts," he says "We've already had the phase where we re out there screaming and yelling We've finally started realizing money is the key, the legal system is the key, and organ ization is also the key " It has been four years since Funk left OSU, four years of gaining confidence and learning to accept himself In his activities as a peer adviser and working with the ESCAPE program. Funk says he has been "very open" about his homo sexuality Mortar Board honors three professors Mortar Board, the senior hon or society, has announced the fall term Professor-of-the Month winners Winners are Tyrone Tillery, history, for October, Laird Kirk patrick, law. for November, and John Keana, chemistry, for December “Response to the Professor of-the-Month competition was overwhelming,'' said Jeff Nudelman, event coordinator Students nominated about 50 professors, he said Applications for the January Professor-of-the-Month will open Jan. 5.
