Protesters Egg Homophobe

Students at the University of Massachusetts last week reacted angrily to an anti-gay activist who denounced homosexual rights during Lesbian and Gay Awareness Week.

"Homosexual activity is a blight on society," psychologist Paul Cameron told a largely hostile crowd of 300, according to the Massachusetts Daily Collegian.

Protesters jeered and threw eggs at Cameron, while campus police and members of the UMass Gay and Lesbian Association advocating non-violence asked the crowd to remain peaceful.

"Homosexuality is worse than murder," Cameron said. He maintained that it is a mistake to allow homosexuals the same rights as heterosexuals.

"They will bring plague after plague to our land," he said.

Organizers said they were unaware that Cameron's speech coincided with Lesbian and Gay Awareness Week at the Amherst campus.

Cameron, who gave a similar speech at Harvard in the fall, told an Emerson Hall crowd, "I'm talking about quarantining a half million, a million, even a million and a half people."

The audience of 30 at the Harvard speech did not protest.

Cameron is chairman of the Nebraska-based Institute for the Scientific Investigation of Sexuality, a non-profit organization which lobbies against gay rights. He was expelled from the American Psychological Association in 1984, and has been censured by the Nebraska Psychological Association for "violating ethics codes and misrepresenting research," according to the Collegian.

Computer Matchmaking

What do you do when your social life is in a rut? Creative students at the University of Michigan run to their computer terminals.

A new computer privilege has allowed students to set up a telecommunications conference. "Confer-ing" enables students to discuss, via computer, different topics or "items" with others in the conference.

"We have an item called the `flirt,'" said Susie Jun, a sophomore "confer."
