The minority artists’ directory will be dis tributed to regional arts councils, arts organiza tions, arts administrators, gallery owners, and educators throughout Oregon and Washington. A product of the Metropolitan Art Commission’s Minority Outreach Program, the directory’s multi cultural database will be updated on a regular basis. Artists who wish to be included on MAC databases and published in future directories are encouraged to call Shelley Matthews, Minority Outreach Coordinator for the Metropolitan Arts Commission, at (503) 796-5111.

Campaign for a Hate Free Oregon Oregonians for Human Dignity, the sutewide coalition formed to defeat the statewide petition and possible ballot measure filed by the Oregon Citizens Alliance has changed its name. The committee is now titled, Campaign for a Hate Free Oregon. Campaign Chair Sherry Oeser, explained, “Due to a considerable amount of confusion between this campaign and the ongoing organization, * ‘Coalition for Human Dignity,’ we decided to change the campaign’s name at this early date. The title, “Campaign for a Hate Free Oregon,” really embodies the spirit driving this campaign. Hate is what we are fighting, and the fear and intolerance accompanying hate, personified so The NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt incredibly well by the OCA’s rhetoric and ac display has been delayed due to production changes.

The focus is on education and outreach to all possible audiences, in an effort to use the quilt as a healing and connecting tool with those directly affected by this disease and those who do not see their connection-yet. They are looking for volunteers who would learn to talk about the quilt to groups which include schools, organizations, churches, and private settings.

Quilt delayed Under your skin P-FLAG PSA’s Families of gay men, lesbians, and bisexuals proclaiming their love for all their family mem bers will appear in a groundbreaking public ser vice announcement currently in production, by Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays. Volunteers are needed to assist local P-FLAG chapters in placing the PSAs on local television stations nationwide. "Personal contact between P-FLAG volunteers and TV station officials will be of key importance in getting the PSAs aired on local stations," said a P-FLAG member. "These volunteers will be a pan of history in the making, as we air the first nationally distributed lesbian and gay-themed PSA. Imagine TV viewers trying to determine which persons are the lesbians and gay men!" Volunteer team members and team leaders need not have media experience—a willingness and desire to influence their local stations to air the PSA are all that is required.

New HIV clinic The Oregon Infectious Disease Clinic of Or egon Health Sciences University has opened it’s new clinic on 3835 SW Kelly in Portland. The clinic shares the building with the HIV Day Cen ter. which is run by Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon. The medical clinic treats many of the sute s citizens infected with the HIV virus.

The P.A.S. PORT System, designed and manu factured by Pharmacia Del tec, Inc., provides long term access to the central nervous system for the intravenous delivery of medications. The portal, where the intravenous needle would be inserted, is completely implanted under the skin in the forearm. Many patients find the arm-placed system cosmetically more appealing than traditional cen tral venous access systems: chest-place ports or tunneled catheters. With the P.A.S. PORT Sys tem, patients can continue many activities that allow easy self-administration of medications, when appropriate. Queer Nation goes to church Queer Nation members held a Dec. 15 protest during Sunday morning services at Portland's Foursquare Church. Nearly 20 demonstrators wore pink gags around their mouths and donned pro-gay and anti-OCA stickers as they sat in the front rows during the worship services. They were protesting the church's connections to the OCA. The Portland Foursquare Church has been the site of several OCA meetings, including the group's Oct. 8 premiere screening of its video. The action was a peaceful one, as Queer Na tion members reportedly sat quietly, occasionally circulating brochures urging congregation mem bers not to support the anti-gay organization.
