I h a v e r e a d w i th i n t e r e s t t h e a r t i c l e s o n th e “Alliance” th a t a p p e a re d in r e c e n t issues o f th e s tu ­d e n t n e w sp a p e r , T h e O bserver . T he official title o f the organ ization , “The Alliance of Lesbian, Bisexual, S t r a ig h t a n d Q u e s t io n in g W o m e n o f S a in t M a r y ’s C ollege ," p r o m p t e d m e to g a t h e r a n d r e v ie w all m a te r ia l ( inc lud ing B oard o f G o v e rn an ce m inu tes ) w h ich w o u ld a s s is t m e in u n d e r s t a n d in g th e p u r ­pose, goals , a n d p lace o f this n e w organ iza tion in th e life o f this college com m unity .

I now have com ple ted t h a t rev iew and a m w rit ing to indicate th a t 1 have dec ided to defer official reco g ­nition of the organ iza tion a t this time. It is im p ortan t to s ta te , how ever, th a t I a m in complete a g re e m e n t with BOG in recognizing th e significant issues ra ised by the “Alliance” in the i r p re p a re d m aterials .

In fac t , th e i s s u e s o f s e x u a l i t y , r e l a t i o n s h i p s , insight to be gained from Catholic teach ings, an d a host of re la ted ques t ions led m e to establish, a lm ost a y ea r ago, a Comm ittee on Relationships. This c o m ­m i t t e e w a s c h a r g e d w i th th e d e v e lo p m e n t o f a n ag en d a w hich would define w ays in w hich m em b e rs of the College com m unity could g a th e r to openly and broadly dialogue a b o u t these issues.

It w a s an d is m y desire to have these issues recog­nized a n d suppor ted as im p o r tan t ones a t th e insti tu­tional level w hich led m e to my p re sen t decision.

T he Committee on Relationships h a s been asked to review the "Alliance” m a te r ia ls and to advise m e as to w h e th e r th e ag e n d a a n d fora they envision will, in f a c t , a d d r e s s t h e c o n c e r n s a s o u t l i n e d in th e “Alliance” m ateria ls . My final decision on w h e th e r a sp e c i f ic s t u d e n t o r g a n i z a t i o n in th i s a r e a w o u ld e n h a n c e such cam pus-w ide dialogues will be heavily influenced by th e i r recom m en da t io ns . *

i w o u ld h av e w e lc o m e d a n o p p o r tu n i ty to h a v e som e conversa tion p r io r to the BOG decision so th a t you an d o the rs would have been m o re fully a w a re of th e in i t ia t ive t h a t led to th e e s t a b l i s h m e n t o f the C om m ittee on Relationships. 1 a p p la u d the s tu d e n t bo dy in i t ia t ives t h a t h av e b e e n t a k e n to p ro d u c e m eaningfu l conversa tion on cam p u s ab ou t re la tion ­ships, a n d I also co m m en d the Board for th e se r ious­ness with w hich you constantly add re s s very crucial issues.

Since the des ires of BOG an d the College adm in is­tra t ion a r e similar, I am certa in the outcom e in this m a t t e r c a n b e o n e t h a t will a c h ie v e o u r co m m on goals.
