Just Out. April, 1986
At the Western Cup Volleyball Tournament
held March 7-9 in Calgary, Alberta, Portland’s
C. C. Slaughter’s volleyball team garnered
the third place bronze medal in an exceptional
display o f talent and endurance. Matches be
gan at 9 a.m. after the traditional opening
cerem onies and continued at an exhausting
pace until the last match concluded at 7 p.m.
The gold and silver medals were awarded
to multi-talented clubs from Vancouver, B.C.
and Edmonton, Alberta, respectively. The
eleven-team event was rounded out by other
teams representing Vancouver, B.C.,
Edmonton, Alberta (which fielded a highly
spirited and competitive w om en’s team).
Calgary and Regina, Alberta, and finally Sas
katoon, Saskatchewan. Portland was the only
team that ventured up from the U.S.
Medals were presented at a lavish brunch
held at a stately downtown hotel. Two Port
land team members were also the ‘proud’
recipients o f som e not so glamorous awards
including a smart silver lame clutch with ac
centuating pink rubber gloves and a pair of
emerald green heart-shaped sunglasses.
The injured and dog-tired team members
then trudged onto a plane for a flight back to
Vancouver, B.C. only to pour themselves into
their cars for the return to the Rose City.
While on the subject of volleyball, experi
enced volleyball players interested in trying
out for the team(s)? that will represent the
Portland area in Gay Games ’86 to be held
this August in San Francisco are urged to
begin attending weekly practices. Monday
practices consist o f various drills and scrim
maging. Tuesday practices are highly struc
tured with emphasis on skill-improvement,
conditioning and drills that relate to certain
aspects o f the game. The Tuesday night
practices are mandatory and are conducted
by an exceptional coach and her assistant.

and locations o f these highly important
practices contact Gil at 234-4573 days or
231-8247 eves, or Scott at 224-8311 days or

KBOO pledge drive
begins April 1
KBOO-FM (90.7) is Portland's only inde
pendent listener-supported community
radio station. Because its listeners support it
financially, KBOO has the freedom to air
such diverse programs such as Queersville,
Womansoul and Bread & Roses.
For 17 years KBOO has been on the cut
ting ed ge o f radio, by broadcasting sounds,
ideas and news not heard anywhere else on
the radio dial. It is a practice that KBOO
volunteers continually take pride in.
As a community radio station, KBOO pro
vides access, training and airtime to groups
and organizations that have been traditionally
denied this opportunity. KBOO is a valuable
community resource that needs your
support. Twee a year KBOO holds Member
ship Pledge Drives to encourage its listeners
to becom e members of KBOO. Yearly indi
vidual memberships begin at $20, which is a
relatively inexpensive price to pay for the con
tinuing existence of KBOO. The Spring
Pledge Drive begins April 1st with a goal of
$40,000. Tune in to 90.7 FM, hear the great
programm ing and show your support for
y o u r community radio station.

Logo chosen by
committee
A design submitted by Eugene, Oregon,
artist Tim Salcedo has been selected as the
1986 Lesbian and Gay Pride logo.
The Lesbian and Gay Pride Steering C om
mittee chose Salcedo’s entry from a field of
six logos submitted by artists from through
out the community, including one entry from
San Francisco.
The 21-year-old University of Oregon art
student's logo withstood several rounds of
voting by the steering committee. The entries
were rated based on how they 1) visually
represented the 1986 theme, “ Forward To
gether In Unity and Diversity," 2) adaptability
to use on promotional products, and
3 ) marketability.
