Last Friday while pavements were
scorching outside, the grand Pavillion
Room at downtownA-s Hilton Hotel
on Broadway heated the recently
explored abyss of same-sex inarraige
and its constitutional aspects.
John Terry and Madelyn Wessel,
both attorneys actively involved with
this controversial issue, spoke about
the legal implications of same-sex
marraige and the emerging events in
the court system.
Congress is pushing to pass a ban
on gay marriage in the form of the
Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA),
which attempts to define marriage as
a union between a man and a woman.
The provision received a 342-67
House vote and now moves onto the
Senate where experts expect passage
to be effortless.
President Clinton declared that if
it goes through he promises to sign it
into law.
However, the Hawaiian Court
System has wrestled with the consti
tutionality of gay marriages since
1991 and legalization is anticipated.
Originating from a lawsuit against
the State of Hawaii brought on by a
couple who was denied the right to
legally marry, the courts turned to the
equal rights amendment and agreed
that the state must show compelling
interest in order to bar such rights.
The Governor of Hawaii showed
equal support.
“We expect to win in Circuit Court,
and face the s ta te rs appeal to the
Hawaii Supreme Court in 1997,” said
Tom Ramsey, Co-coordinator for the
Hawaii Equal Rights M arriage
Project, “unless the state can present
compelling arguements for NOT is
suing marriage licenses to same gen
der couples."
The Hawaiian case resumes on
September in Circuit Court.
Inner city
kids'
dream
becomes
reality
Five years ago, two Philadelphia
teens — Carl Smalls and Allison
Trapp — never imagined they would
be rowing in boats on the Schuylkill.
Today, they will realize their dream
for the second time as they return to
the Fairmount Park Commission’s
Summer Rowing Camp.
Founded three years ago by the
Fairmount Park Commission, the City
o f P h iladelphia and C om cast
Metrophone, the Rowing Camp has
given more than 200 young people
the chance to experience the sport for
the first time.
“It’s been a terrific three years for
us, and we couldn’t be happier with
the level of commitment and enthusi
asm of our campers,” said William E.
Mifflin, executive director of the
Fairmount Park Commission.
“We anticipate at least a few of
our graduates becoming junior var
sity or even varsity rowers, and they
wouldn’t have done that if not for the
exposure and motivation the Rowing
Camp provided," he said.
Born out of a controversy over
the need to include more minorities
in high school and collegiate rowing
clubs, thecamp has fulfilled its prom
ise to help inner city kids participate
in this exciting sport.
“W hen you see these kids
laughing and obviously enjoying
learning about rowing, you real
ize the trem endous impact it has
on th eir liv e s,” S tandig said,
“Even though only a few cam p
ers will go on to a varsity level,
the experience will be one that
will hopefully last a lifetim e.”
