The Michigan Daily-- Friday, September 27, 1991 - Page 7 Biosphere *II starts two year ourney ORACLE, Ariz. (AP) - Four men and four women embarked yes- terday on a two-year journey inside a stationary glass ark. t The eight are stewards of Biosphere II, a self-sustaining envi- ronment materially sealed off from the world they call Biosphere I. The private, for-profit project is in- tended to develop technology to colonize space and improve and un- derstand the Earth. "It is a brave new step," said crew member Abigail Alling, 31, of New York. Her voice cracking with emotion, she called the project "a reminder that our future is not fixed and not final and ever evolving." Dr. Roy Walford, the oldest crew member, said, "We are fearful but loving; we court what lurks in the labyrinth, pledging at all odds to make ours an honest destiny." Sex has not been ruled out among the crew members, but pregnancy has. Sally Silverstone, 36, of England, recalled watching "the good ship Biosphere II grow from her magnificent stainless steel hull to her lofty space-frame sails, and now I feel exhilarated to be going gut with her on her maiden voyage." Ex-Cracker Barrel employee protests restaurant by Rob Patton Daily Staff Reporter George Frisbie, who was fired from his job as a waiter at Cracker Barrel Restaurant in Tallahassee, Fla., because he is gay, is in Belleville, Mich., today to help or- ganize a protest of the opening a Cracker Barrel there. Frisbie, who worked at Cracker Barrel for three and a half years with "an excellent work record and no problems from management at all," said he was fired this January after his manager told him he had learned Frisbie was gay. The chain has issued a national directive to its restaurants stating that "Cracker Barrel is founded upon a concept of traditional American values ... it is inconsis- tent with our concept of values and is perceived to be inconsistent with those of our customer base, to em- ploy individuals ... whose sexual preferences fail to demonstrate normal heterosexual values which have been the foundation of families in our society." "The manager called me into work on Sunday, my day off, and took me for a walk around the restaurant, where the customers couldn't see us. He told me it had recently come to his attention that I was homosexual. He said 'Since it's our policy not to hire (gays), we're going to have to terminate you,"' Frisbie said. Frisbie said he couldn't believe he had been fired. "My reaction was one of shock. I was too stunned to feel anything. I said to my manager, 'Is this legal?' He said he didn't know, and it was obvious he didn't care," he said. In fact, Frisbie found, it is legal to fire people on the basis of their opening sit in," he said. Frisbie said he is unsure what ef- fect the demonstrations will have on Cracker Barrel. "I don't know whether they'll change their policy or not. What I would hope for is that they would come out nation- ally and say 'We made an incredible mistake, we sent the wrong message, and we'll do what we can to make up for it,"' he said. A representative from Cracker 'Cracker Barrel is the first place I've heard of that's openly come out and said, 'We won't hire homosexuals" - George Frisbie Former Cracker Barrel Restaurant employee sexual orientation in all but four states, as well as a number of cities and counties. "But not Florida, and not Tallahassee," he said. Frisbie said he organized a small demonstration against the Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee and took part in organizing a larger one, including a sit-in where demonstrators tied up about 12 tables in the restaurant for a few hours. He is now helping to set up a rally at the new franchise in Belleville, which is about halfway between Detroit and Ann Arbor. "We're planning pickets outside and we're going to attempt a quiet Barrel refused to comment on the matter. Frisbie added that discrimination against gay men and lesbians goes further than just Cracker Barrel. "Cracker Barrel is the first place I've heard of that's openly come out and said, 'We won't hire homosexu- als,' but I think a lot of establish- ments don't hire people they per, ceive as gay," he said. "I really want to stress the im- portance of this. If one person is stripped of their rights, then no one is really safe from discrimination," he said. Wait... do I have everything?
