The Michigan Daily-Friday, June 9,1989-Page 2 June commemorates lesbians and gay men s rights movement BY TARANEH SHAFII To commemorate the Lesbians and Gay Men's Rights Movement, members from the University and community are working together to celebrate, educate and demand rights from the community and University during Lesbian and Gay Pride Month. This June marks the twentieth anniversary of the 'Stonewall Rebellion' that started when les- bians and gay men rioted against the New York police after routine raids on a lesbians and gay men bar. Patrons rose in protest when po- lice confiscated IDs and published names in the newspapers. Twenty years ago such publicity was devas- tating. The riot lasted for three days and at one point thousands of protestors barricaded police inside the summer orientation policy to include bar. student groups and offer lesbian and Lesbians and gay men all over gay men housing advisors in every the country will be celebrating the dorm.

News briefs Increase up in the air BY AMY FE LDMA N The fate of the inevitable tuition increase remains unknown. University Vice President for Government Affairs Richard Kennedy said the state is still in the process of "trying to define what kinds of targets should be used to establish next year's appropriations." State administrators are currently working on forming committees to discuss these issues. The committee conference is scheduled for June 15. At the University's Board of Regents meeting last month, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Charles Vest presented graphs for both 13 and 10 percent tuition increases. Vest emphasized that neither was a "cut and dry solution" to the budget. Each model contains certain assumptions regarding internal bud- get funds deemed necessary for research and state appropriations. Both represent hypothetical attempts at a balanced budget. Tuition increase will be further discussed at next month's regents' meeting. LaGROC to protest BY TARANEH SHAFII Members of Lesbian and Gay Rights Organizing Committee will meet at Hill Auditorium at 3 pm this Sunday to protest the 5 pm grad- uation of Plymouth- Canton High School. "We're not going to be screaming and chanting, but disseminating information," said Linda Kurtz, LaGROC member. In a January issue of the high school paper, an editorial supported homophobic statements made by Texas Judge Jack Hampton. In May1988 two gay men were shot in Dallas, Texas. The murderer was sentenced to 30 years as opposed to life in prison. The judge said the murderer reeceived alighter sentence since the vic- tims were gay men. LaGROC appealed to the high school to pass out information en- couraging sensitivity to lesbians and gay men issues. Their requests were ignored, said Brian Durrance, LaGROC member. Talks at stalemate BY WENDY WORTHEN Negotiations between University Hospitals nurses and the hospital administration on the nurses' union's 2-year labor contract, which ex- pired at midnight on.June 1st, are still at a stalemate today. Last Tuesday, nurses' union representatives met with a state appointed medi- ator and administration officials, but no information about the results of that meeting is being disclosed. "There is a news blackout in effect until after the meeting on the 14th," said Margo Barron, president of the nurses' union. She did com- ment, however, that the present bargaining situation has much in common with the 1981 contract debate. In 1981, the nurses' union went on strike for 23 days. Michael Harrison, spokesperson for the Hospital Administration, said they are not divulging any information at this point, either.
