Sumo Origami Senate votes to cut funds for pro-gay schools WASHINGTON (AIM — Thu Sonata voted Monday t<> < ut off federal fund* to any s< hool dis tru t that teaches a< i eptance of homosexuality as a lifestyle The vote on a proposal hy Sens Jesse Helms. R*N.C.. and Sen. Hob Smith, K N H . came during debate on roau thorization of the Elementary nod Secondary Education Act, whit h provides $12 5 billion in federal funds to the nation's public schools. Smith said school districts use the money to buy books and other materials that are “so graphic and so disgusting that I can't display them here on the floor of the United States Sen ate,'* But San. Paul Wellstone, [) Minn . said the provision would forbid c ounseling of gav stu dents, who he said are up to three times as likely to commit suic ide as other teen agers "Wo simply can't do that.” he said, calling the amendment "very moan spirited " The measure would cut fed eral aid to districts that "c arry out a program or activity that has either the purpose or effect of encouraging or supporting homosexuality as a positive lifestyle alternative," It includes distribution of in structional materials, i ounseltng and referral of students to gay organizations. The House included a similar amendment when it passed the bill. Differences between the two versions will hove to he worked out bv a conference committee lie fore the bill can let signed into law by President Clinton. Sen Edward Kennedy, D Mass., chairman of the Senate labor and Human Resources Committee, said the proposal would inject the federal govern ment into local decision-mak ing, and would "remove the lo cal discretion that is the hall mark of our educational sys tem." Some school districts teach acceptance of homosexuality during social studies or sex ed ucation programs. A controversial program in New York City led to the ouster of Joseph Fernandez as chan cellor of the nation’s largest school system last year. Some school programs use hooks such as “Heather Has Two Mommies” and "Daddy's Roommate," that depict lesbian and gay couples in family set tings with children. Other books, used in H1V AIDS education programs, are more graphic, describing sexual acts and advocating the use of latex condoms during inter course. Helms denounced what he c alled the "disgusting, obscene material that's laid out before school children in this country every day." Citadel may shave cadet’s head CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — The Citadel may shave Shannon Faulkner's head when she becomes the first woman to join the school's corps of cadets, a judge said Monday. U.S. District Judge C. Weston Houck also ordered Faulkner to stay in a private room in the ad lego's infirmary instead of its barrack#. And he rejected her request for a sexual harassment committee to monitor her progress in the corps. Faulkner's attorneys argued that she should not be subjected to the humilia tion of having her head shaved. "I'm not talking about anything right now," Faulkner said after the almost 31 hour hearing. Her attorneys also de clined to comment. Houck ruled last month the Citadel's allmale admissions policy is unconstitu tional and ordered Faulkner into the corps this fall. The state military school is appealing. Monday's hearing was to resolve differences in plans for housing Faulkn er. The college proposed giving her a closecropped haircut like other fresh men. Faulkner's attorneys wanted a short bob like that given to women at the service academies. Attorney Val Vojdik said shaving a women's head is humiliating, noting the French did it to women who collaborat ed with Naris in World War II. "I don't think any woman should be forced to undergo public humiliation to get a public education in this state," said Vojdik as she produced a picture of a shaved French woman being taunted by a crowd. But Houck said the law acknowledges no difference between men and women in the way they wear their hair. “The Citadel is at liberty and justified within its rights to shave her head.” he ruled. School attorney Dawes Cooke said the college could have saved itself a public relations headache by not insisting on the haircut. But he said it's an important part of the cadet experience. "What it means is a symbolic relinquishing of individuality,” he said. "Many cadets describe it as the most humiliating moment of their lives. For us to say to Ms. Faulkner that she be treated differently would hurt her chances for assimilation into the corps." KALI’S Continued From Page 1 ed il with a $500 capital investment. Mother Kali's, a member of the Feminist Bookstore Network, has developed a special relationship with small, women-orientod press es. Harbaugh said this characteristic is one of the tilings that allows the bookstore to stand out from mainstream book sellers "We're dedicated to recovering works, lost or overlooked." Harbaugh said. "We have the best selection of books by women of color in the Northwest. Our lesbian section is more extensive than any of the other stores in the area." The fact that Mother Kali’s is now the third bookstore on 13th Avenue doesn't bother Har hnugh. “We want to be there for people who am curious about us and we want to be available as a resource," she said. "We refer people to other stores and com munity organizations all the time — that's gixxi business. Each of the stores has some overlap, but it's not an adversarial relationship." Har baugh said. Harbaugh borrowed a thought from the poet Audre Lorde to describe what Mother Kali's wants to maintain and carry on in this area: "'To use our strength in the service of our vision.'"
