Dallas Gay Pride
Week Begins
Gay Pride Week in Dallas began the weekend
of June 17-19 with its annual parade,
concerts and contests.
Approximately 150 people gathered ~·n·
day at the Oak Lawn Library, where a
candlelight march began.
An arts and crafts fair on Cedar Springs
at Throckmorton alongside the Cross·
roads Market kicked off Saturday's activi·
ties.
Razz le Dazzle Dallas, one of the largest
Gay Pride Week events in the state, high·
lighted Saturday. Held in the Centennial
Building at Fair Park, it included dancing,
a laser·light show and numerous booths
from many local groups and businesses.
The Sunday parade was shadowed with
controversy because the Gay Pride Associ- Oak Lawn Symphonic Band in Sunday's parade
ation originalJy decided to exclude the
Dallas Tavern Guild's float.
Citing the Round-Up Saloon'• door pol·
icy as the reason to refuse the Tavern
Guild's participation, the Gay Pride Association
refused to alter their decision until
Friday morning, June 17.
When asked why the Gay Pride Aeeocia·
tion changed its decision, its president
Jim O'Connor responded that they had
received pressure from several out.side
sources to alter the judgement. O'Connor
would not elaborate on who the "outside
sources" were.
According to Richard Montogomery,
general manager of the Round·Up
Saloons in Dallas and Austin, Don Baker,
former president of the Dallas Gay
A11iance, had "urged" the association to
alter its decision.
The rally held in Lee Park after the
parade was started by music from the Oak
Lawn Symphonic Band. Speakers
included Dan Bradley, co-chair of the
National Human Right• Campaign;
Mariam Ben Shalom, a lesbian feminist
from Wisconsin; and others. The Rally at Lee Park following the parade

Women's AIDS
Network Formed
~r. b!':1~!:'l .. ociation Wire Service
DENVER-About 25 women joined
together at the Fifth Lesbian and Gay
Health Conference held in Denver June
9·12 to form the "Women'• AIDS Net·
work." The women who joined are
involved in providing care to persons with
AIDS.
In the group's founding statement, the
Women's AIDS Network stated, "As
women, lesbian and heterosexual, we
have much to share, much of offer, much
to teach, much to learn."
The group also said that the group faces
the personal issue of facing the diseases of
their male friends as well as the social
is~me of being isolated in the lesbian community
for working to fight AIDS. The
statement also said, "As women working
within predominantly male groups dealing
with AIDS, we once again face invalidation,
invisibility and sexism."
THe group plane to be involved in education,
support and political action, including
education about AIDS to the lesbian
and feminist communities. Laurie Hauer,
RN, a worker in San Francisco General
Hospital's AIDS Clinic, convened the
group's first meeting.
Hauer pointed out that women have
been working at all levels of the AIDS cri·
sis since its beginning and deserve to be
included as equal participants in policy,
fund-raising and any ongoing work of
organizations working on AIDS. Says
Hauer, "I see this as a very important way
of unifying the men's and women's communities,
one of the positive aspects of this
crisis."

MCC to Convene
in Toronto

Vta Gay PreH AHocialion Wire Service
After nearly 15 years, Metropolitan Com·
JUNE 24, 1983 I MONTROSE VOICE 5
munity Church has grown too big for its
organizational britches.
Incorporated as the Universal Fellowship
of Metropolitan Community
Churches in 1971 after a handful of con·
gregations had grown out of the founding
group in Los Angeles, the church's Ger.
eral Conference XI will vote this summer
on a wholesale restructuring with an
emphasis on decentralization proposed by
its CommiBBion on Government Structures
and Systems.
In recent years, UFMCC has been deal·
ing with the complexity of adapting to the
laws, languages and customs of many
nations, as MCC's are now operating in
nine countries, striving for a foothold in
several others and keeping the lines of
communication open with interested parties
in dozens more.
The first MCC outside the U.S. was
formed in 1973 in Toronto, Canada, and
church will mark its 10th anniversary by
hosting the General Conference July 10-
17.
With the theme "Many Gifts ... One
Spirit," the conference will feature guest
speaker Dr. VirginiaMollenkott, author of
Women, Men and the Bible and Is the
Homosexual My Neighbor? All·day
seminars include "Church Growth in
Good and Bad Times" and "Embodiment:
Uniting the Spiritual and Sensual Self."
In business meetings, the GSS proposals
to divide the North American churches
into regions will be discussed. Each region
would elect an elder to manage its affairs
and represent it to the Board of Elders,
which administers the business of the fellowship
between general conferences.
This would increase the size of the current
board and assure that all elders were
salaried for their work.
In addition, the structure would allow
for administrative help for the church's
founder, Rev. Troy Perry, who has just
returned from three months of travel,
much of it devoted to raising money for the
UFMCC TV special, God, Gays and the
Go1pel: This Is OUR Story.
Perry said he ie optimistic a bout the
church's eventual acceptance into the
National Council of Churches. That vote
should come next year if NCC's Governing
Board, which met with UFMCC representatives
in San Francisco in May,
approve the application at their
-
November meeting.
Should they delay their vote again, Rev.
Perry won't be conoemed. "We feel like the
longer they wait, the better off we are," be
said. "To know us is to love us."
Growth a Concern
for Gay Fathers
Coalition
~fa ~!';'t.'!!~1110Ciation Wire Service
DENVER-Growth and strengethening
of its organization are two big items on the
1983-1!4 agenda of the Gay Fathers Coali·
tion which met for its annual convention
in May in Denver. More than 100 gay
fathers, some accompanied by their lov·
ers, gathered to participate in workshops
and to conduct the organization's business.
The San Francisco chapter reportedly
had an attendance of up to 50 people two
years ago, but now hosts about 250, a 500
percent increase in two years. In New
York City, six separate chapters operate
and a separate organization called Gay
Fathers Forum has sprung up. Organizers
emphasize the importance of personal
contact in gay fathers ' groups because for
many fathers, it is there first contact with
the organized gay community.
Media attention is another important
issue confronting the organized gay
fathers' group. Because many members
are unable to publicly disclose that they
are gay, relatively few spokespeople have
emerged. To facilitate greater access to
and acceptance in the media, Stu Gross of
the Gay Fathers' Forum in New York conducted
a workshop in prt'8enting gay parenting
issues in the media. Other
workshops during the weekend included
information aDout custody decisions, a
seminar on rela tionship systems and a
forum for exchangi ng ideas and solving
problems.

Sexy Ads Stop, But
Don't Sell
As anyone who's seen an ad for designer
jeans can te11 you, sex seems to be taking
over Madison A venue.
But researchers are warning that too
much steam in advertising can sometimes
backfire, reports Advertising Age.
They say sex may have "stopping
power"-it'll grab your attention-but it
doesn't necessarily sell anything.
Former Miami-of-Ohio Professor Bruce
Morrison tried out some seductive ads on
test subjects, and found that when people
were sexually aroused, ''a sort of shock set
in-they looked at the ads but didn't
remember them."
Women were more able to recall brand
names in highly sexy ads, but men often
couldn't even describe the ad, much less
the product.
In fact, Morrison says, a graduate student
who assisted him confessed that he'd
had one sexy magazine ad posted in his
apartment wall for two months, and still
couldn't remember what it was for.
Given such findings, Morrison says, it's
not surprising that there are more ads
with nudity and sex in women's magazines
like Vogue and Cosmopolitan, than
in male publications like Playboy.
You've Gone Too
Far, Baby
It 8eems a man who kills his wife in Brazil
can getaway with murder if he doesn't like
the way she'H acting
F.duardo Souza Rocha, according to Her
Say News Service, shot his wife six
times-allegedly h<>cause she was leaving
him for another man.
But there were other contributing fac·
torH. Souza claimed his wife smoked, drove
without a chaperone and wasn't always
homt• to ~r('('t him when he got orr work.
A Brazilian jury agreed with Souza that
the killing was "a legitimatedefenseofhiEI
honor," and gave him a two-year suspended
i;entRnre.
Rockets in Dallas?
The m·wly-elccted mayor of Dalla1; has big
pinna for the Big D. Millionaire business·
man Starke Taylor wants to expand the
country'R largest airport to open Dallas up
to export markets in China, Europe and
the Middle East.
But that's not enough for Taylor. He
wants his airport to be capable of serving
space shuttles.
"We're getting into the rocket ship era,"
he is quoted in the New York Timnes,
explaining that the city has the room to
build a spaceport big enough to handle
traffic to and from the moon and beyond.
Taylor wants Dallas to grab the oppor·
tunity to "take one of those rockets and fly
to Japan or some long distance in a
hurry."
Alcoholism: Any
Treatment is Better
than None
A new Congressional study shows no one
treatement for alcoholism is better than
a nother, and that the most expensive
treab:nents are boosting the cost of medical
care sky·high.
The study, done for the ofticeofTechnol·
ogy Assessment and reported in the New
York Times, found that hoepitali zing
alcoholics-the treatment most recommended
by insurance companies-is "far
more expeneive and not necessarily more
effective" than outpatient care.
Akohol abuse, the study notes, may be
re n•i f9 p to 15 percent of the
n altla cate bill.

Foot in Mouth
By Randy Allred
San Francisco city Supervisor Harry Britt
spoke to the May 21 commemoration of the
1979 White Night Riots as dusk settled at
City Hall. Britt opened inauspiciously,
before he got to the isaue of the lenient
five-year prison term assassin Dan White
is serving for the 1978 slayfogs of Supervisor
Harvey Milk (whom Britt succeeded)
and Mayor George Moscone. (May 21 was
the fourth anniversary of the manslaughter
verdict in the case.)
"Right now I'm getting cold," Britt
started. "So if you will all snuggle up a
little closer together, I'm going to cut my
thing quite short."
front-page admonition: "The message is
clear. auoid the direct exchange of bodily
fluid.a."
The word was already reaching many
gay men through other media and/or their
own physicians, for a study of 600 Bay
Area gay men (singles and couples)
revealed that 30 percent had reduced or
stopped high-risk sexual behaviors. How·
ever, the authors, psychologists Leon
McKusick and William Horstman and
psychiatrist Arthur Carfagni, noted that
62 percent have continued or increased. at
"at least one high-risk behavior with new
or anonymous contacts." They concluded:
"Remedial and public-information efforts
should be aimed at these groups of sexu-ally
active gay men."
No sooner than this report began to circulate,
a group of gay leaders summoned
bathhouse, bookstore, and theater owners
to a meeting to discuss posting of notices
and distribution of pamphlets and con·
doms at those establishments. The aim is
to reduce tram1mission of the unknown
AIDS agent and to prevent its spread from
San Franciaco in the wake of Lesbian/
Gay Freedom Day.
The day before the meeting, Roger
Gross. president of the Golden Gate Busi·
ness Association, told a Board of Supervisors'
hearing that "the health scare and
crisis" has already reduced local business
Dateline S.F.
in gay establishment.a and will soon cause
"a subatantial decline" in tourist trade.
At the meeting, bathhouse owners were
cooperative but felt they were being
singled out. Many, in fact, did not show up
at all.
Within the week, S.F. Chronicle columnist
Herb Caen reported that doctors and
nurses were patrolling the baths to kick
out known AIDS sufferers who were still
frequenting the places.
Scareee.
Alfred's column originates at the "Sen·
tinel," a San Francisco gay newspaper.
1983 Randy Alfred, all rights reserued.
As the crowd snickered and hooted, he
hastily added, "I hope Channel 7 has
gone."'
NAIL ON HEAD: Britt had some interesting
obRervations when he recovered,
however: ''Five years after that riot, when
we thought the world had maybe caught
some glimpse of the injustice done against
lesbians and gay men, not only are the
archbisop, the National Council of
Churches, the Episcopal bishop, all of the
JKH:alled moral leaders of the city still protecting
the world against queers, but the
cops are wearing ga.s masks to protect
against people who have AIDS, CBS is
1till portraying us as a sinister force out to
destroy everything good about the United
States of America, and I do not see the
1ame kind of outcry against Archbishop
Quinn and his homophobic statements
that I see against Dan White, even from
our alleged best friends in city government_
Stanford Square
"As black people have had to learn that
just hating the Ku Klux Klan ain't
enough, but that racism is everywhere and
will be there until the black experience is
expresHed so effectively that it goes away,
we have got to learn that it's not enough to
hate Dan White. We have got to deal with
the mainstream homophobia in our
media, in our church leadership, and in
our government. or we are never going to
be safe in this society."
AIDS CONSPIRACY? "For the first
time, the theory that has been bandied
about baa appeared in print with some
elaboration, and. in a non-gay newspaper,"
pioneer gay-right. activist Bob
Buker wrote me when be forwarded an
editorial from People's World, the Communist
Party newspaper.
Writing in the May 7 issue, Carl Bloice
noted the suspicion that AIDS is related to
swine fever and reiterated the Cuban
charge that the outbreak of the fever there
a few years ago was a U.S. (and probably
CIA) action . Since then, swine fever,
though under control in Cuba, has broken
out elsewhere in the Caribbean wherepu~
lie health and 1anitation levels are low
One such place. Blice wrote, is Haiti.
Haitian immigrant.a to the U.S. are an "at
risk" group (or AIDS, and some epidemiologists
believe Haiti to be the Western Hemisph~
re focus of AIDS. Bloice concluded,
.. This rai~ee the very real Po&sibility that
today's AIDS sufferers are victims of an
act of horrendouit bacteriological warfare."
DEVELOPME:-O'TS: Last fall, the
national Centers for Di&eatie Control
released information that gay men with
AIDS were more likely than gay men without
the disease to have had more Rexual
partners per year. more sexual partners in
the year before onset of symptoms, and a
higher porportion of lht"ir partners in
bathhouses, bookstores and porno theat·
ers.

Gay Pride: It Means Not Being a 'Toilet' We're open Sam-midnight
Serving breakfast, daily
By J oe Baker hot lunches, beer & wine
I attended my first Gay Pride parade
nearly ten years ago in Detroil I had just
started-at the ripe old ageof24-going to
gay bars.
I can't remember who I went to the
parade with, but I do recall that we spent
most of the time hiding in the
background-scared to death of newspaper
photographers and television cameras.
If I remember correctly, the parade
wasn't much. But, there were thousands of
people around-all standing on the sidewalks.
Only a hundred or so brave gay
souls had the courage-and pride-to
march.
Ten years ago Gay Pride parades were
just starting out in major cities across the
country. Gays in New York and San Francisco,
of course, had been parading years
earlier, but the movement had finally
made its way to Middle America.
The fact that homosexuals in Detroit
and Michigan were taking to the streets
was news. It was the beginning of a new
era in the struggle for gay rights.
I watched that first parade not giving
much thought or care to the term "Gay
Pride." Hell, I was having enough problems
just trying to finally accept the fact
that I was a homosexual, much less hav·
ing to be proud of that fact.
But, that was then-many years, many
experiences and many miles ago.
An older gay friend of mine said to me
recently: "I just don't understand you
young gays today. What's all this about
gay pride? Why do you feel you have to
march in the streets? I'm not ashamed of
being gay, but I'm not proud a bout it
either. I'm a male, but I wouldn'tsaythat
I'm proud to be one. I'm white, but I also
wouldn't say that I am proud to be that
color. I just am."
I tried to explain to Brad why Gay Pride
is so important to us today, but I don't
think I did a very good job. For some reason,
he just couldn't understand that if we
as homosexuals don't like ourselves and
take pride in our lives-then how can we
expect others to understand and accept
us?
The most important persons we have to
please are ourselves. When we like what
we are-and accept who we are-then it
becomes so much easier for others. It also
makes it much easier for young homosexuals
just coming to terms with their sexua1-
ity. They have nothing to be ashamed of.
I'd like one more chance to explain Gay
Pride to my friend, Brad. I think the task
wiH be much easier now because of an
experience I had recently.
Several weeks ago I took part in the
Experience Weekend, a 34-hour workshop
aimed at transforming one's life experien·
ces into fuller and richer meanings. The
workshop was developed for gay men and
women and helps them come to terms with
their sexual identity and aids them in
dealing with various types of relationships.
Someday soon I want to talk more about
the Experience Weekend, but now I just
want to share with you a portion of one
discussion from the workshop. I think it
goes a long way towards explaining what
Gay Pride is really all about.
David Goodstein, one of the founders of
the Experience Weeclend and owner of The
Aduocate, discussed the fact that so many
gay people treat themselves as "toilets."
Relax, I'm not going to be talking about
kinky sex.
OmaRS CLUB
Goodstein has three definitions of
"toilet." The first has to do with the fact
that people are willing to accept second
class status because of something about
th emselves. For instance, their being gay
or black is thought of a limitation.
Goodstein's second definition of"toilet"
centers on °the prevalent pattern in many
organizations or groups of non-action due
to an inability to reach agreement on any
specific purpose or goal. While many
hours are spent nit-picking over procedural
matters or debatingthe merits of irrelevant
side issues, those most able to assist
the organization in getting the job done
get bored and leave, frequently never to
return."
The third definition of "toilet" according
to Goodstein, "io the belief that people
who are different from you in some way
you believe is important-for instance, if
you are gay and they are not-will not be
interested in playing the game of life with
you."
All three of Good.stein's definitions zero
in on one point: Don't put yourself down
becuase of who or what you are. Don't
think of yourself as a "toilet" or other people
will treat you as a "toilet."
To me, this io what Gay Pride is all
about. It's realizing your self worth-and
not letting anyone or anything impose
"toilet" status on you. But it also means
not imposing-and accepting-"toilet"
status on yourself.
You don 't have to march in a parade to
be proud of yourself as a person. You don't
have to tell your parents and your boss you
are gay. But to accept and understand the
true meaning of Gay Pride, you have to
like yourself.
That's what Gay Pride is really all
about.

Let's Hear It For the People
By Hollis Hood
The recent defeat of MTA's bond referendum
said much for a thinking public in
Houston. It wasn't only Montrose that
defeated the proposal 2 to 1, it was nearly
citywide.
It's odd. however, that a major concern
such as the Committee for Bus and Rail
with it's budget in excess of $100,000 and
radio and TV spol8 couldn't fair better
against a fledgling organization throw
together in days with a budget of not even
$14,000. Just goes to show you that you
can fool some of the people some of the
time but not all of the people all of the
time.
way for communters from inbetween.
Metro is going to have to rethink it's
attitudes. Houstonians are known for
their cynicism, something like 46 per cent
of them say they don't respect anybody.
How could Metro have thought they would
put anything over or inhibit these people
into thinking there was only one solution
to a problem. No way.
Yes, everybody wants something done
about traffic. Now maybe MTA will get it's
head straight-stop wasting money overpaying
a few engineers and consultants
and get down to what's pragmatic to solve
the problem this year-not ten years from
now.
Thanks Montro .. e, I love ya.

but it could not have done so without the
a&Hiatance and knowledgable input from
concerned citizens. A special thanks to
Barry Klein of the Neartown Transportation
Committee and chairman of the Citizens
for ReMponsible Transit, and Mary
Jane Smith who organized a grassroots
effort to defeat the proposal. The only way
to defeat a well-organized and well run
campaign such as Metro waged to get the
bond effort through (and despite what
they may think, it was a very professional
campaign), it takes countless hours of
volunteer effort and dedication above and
beyond. There are a few people who put in
that extra effort and I wish we could name
them all.

Delta Agent: A Scenario
By Harvey Thompson, M.D.
(Editor's Note: This month Dr. Thompson
departs from a strictly factual column to
indulge in a bit of medical science fiction.
It's an intriguing connection of several
bits of factual information that affect all
of us which may raise important questions
in your mind.)
New York Gays had vactioned in Haiti
for years. Creole Charlie always said it
was because he and his fellow Haitians
were French instead of Spanish like the
Dominicans next door, or English like
Jamaicans further south. Whatever the
reason, it was common knowledge that
you could pick up one of the easy-going
Haitian hustlera off the beaches of Port·
au-Prince for the cost of a drink and a U.S.
$10 bill. By the late 701, it had become ouch
a populor vaction spot that there were allgay
cruises to Haiti each winter.
In 1977 there was an explosion at a topsecret
Russian biological lab in Sverdlovsk
that contaminated the surrounding
countryside. An epidemic of deadly
anthrax broke out a few weeks later; the
government of the United Stoles officially
asked for an explanation.
By 1978, the U. S. Department of
Defense permitted its Biological Warefare
Division to clone Pseudomonas exotoxin
by recombinant DNA experiments. It was
no secret that the United States was loosening
up on its observance of the Biological
Weapons Convention of 1975. In the
Congressional Record of the next year,
botulism, anthroox cholera, and diphtheria
were listed as the bacterial toxins currently
under study.
But the real interest was in viruses They
were much more difficult to detect, and far
easier to transmit. At any rate, the Biological
Weapons Convention had never actu-ally
barred research into possible agents,
only development of new ones.
From Brazil 1979 came reports of a mysterious
"Delta Agent" that turned ordinary
viruses like hepatitis-B into
dangerous killers. The combination was
deadly; more than half the victims of the
Brazilian epidemic died.
Delta Agent was frightening; it had
never been isolated, and could only be
detected through a complex antibody test
in research Jabs. It seems to be a tiny,
subviral particle.
But also in 1979, the U.S. Public Health
Service opened an office in Port au-Prince
to study the African Swine Fever virus
that was decimating the entire pig population
of Haiti. With Cuba only 20 miles
away, the concern was that the U.S.S.R.
was backing Castro with biological warfare
aimed at creating economic and
social unrest in Haiti.
Security was tightened when news came
of the Brazilian "killer hepatitis." The
Public Health Service began an investigation
of the second epidemic. When the
Delta Agent was finally isolated, the information
went straight to the Surgeon Gen·
eral's office, stamped "TOP SECRET:
EYES ONLY."
C. Everett Koop was appointed Surgeon
General by President Ronald Reagan in
1980. The appointee had made a famous
statement the year before; he had warned
that Gay Rights would lead to the production
of "100,000 homosexual and lesbian
test-tube babies to give the gay movement
more political clout." A few gay leaders
took him seriously enough to wonder
about his mental stability, and began calling
him "Dr. Kook," worrying about what
he had in mind for gay health.
But the medical community had always
learned from the gay community. Some
bigoted investigators privately referred to
gays as "giddy guinea pigs." The
hepatitis-B vaccine had been developed
only because of gay willingness to serve as
test volunteers.
Gay blood was teaching medical investigators
a lot about viruses in general. One
such virus-Cytomegalovirus-was ubiquitous
in the gay community. It had long
before been found incorporated into the
DNA of a rare cancer called Kaposi's sarcoma,
and was known to be a potent suppressor
of the immune system.
Yet generally, CMV was a relatively
benign virus that at worst left the victim
feeling tired for a few weeks, as if he had
Mononucleosis. Still, it had long been
thought that viruses had some link to
cancer, possibly causing it. President
Nixon badly wanted to prove this connection
and earn the title of "the President
who had cured cancer."
Meanwhile, Creole Charlie, like all the
hustlers on the beaches of Haiti was feeling
the effects of the slipping economy in
the United Stoles. His friends used to call
him "C.C." for his initials, but lately they
had changed that to "G.C." because he
was always getting the clap, and the
Tetracycline lobs he bought at the pharmacy
didn't work all that well any more.
His doctor called him "Juan-pepitas-demanzana"-"
Johnny Appleseed." Charlie
didn't know the story of the man who
spread apple trees all over the United
States; he thought the name came from
the fact that he had met the doctor while
eating an apple.
The husUers all knew that Americans
had the best medicines. Their shots
seemed especially good for the "maladies
venerealea" that they often caught from
Health
Yankee tricks. So, when the American doctor
in the expensive suite offered him $100
to participate in something he called "vaccine
t.Tails," Charlie was only too happy to
accept.
Charlie's arm was still sore as he walked
away from the office of the U.S. Public
Health Service in the new building just
constructed for the Agency For International
Development, Sudamerica. All the
people had been very nice, especially the
doctor who had brought him to the nice big
office behind a door marked "Project
Delio."
The doctor had unlocked his black
leather bag and brought out the vaccine
himself; he said it was a "new kindofpeni·
cillin," and Charlie could tell it was expen-
1ive stuff because it was inside a special
mets! cylinder with red labels all over it.
Charlie was feeling great about the day.
He was going to get well, he had $100 in
his pocket, and there was a whole shipload
of New York gays just pulling into port.
BusineH was looking up, and he should be
able to grab alargepartofitwhiletheshot
was still working. Thank God for America!
And AIDS began in Haiti.
EPILOGUE:
Medical science fiction? Yet the following
parts are true: Del18 Agent, Dr. Koop
and his quote, the information on CMV.
the African SYl--ine Fever epidemic, the portion
on biological welfare, and the heaJth
office in Haiti.
The last section can't be proved: Creole
Charlie died last year. Of Kaposi's sarcoma

18 MONTROSE VOICE/ JUNE 24, 1983 The Law
Working Together
By Henry Walter Wei88
Sep~atism is a pervasive and dangerous
force in the gay male and lesbian community.
A bi-coastal friend recently
explained his refusal to become involved
with his local gay elderly support group by
saying that he didn't like lesbians and
didn't want to have anything t.o do with
them.
Such a view diminishes both the person
who holds it and also the gay male and
lettbian community at large.
My own favorite story about a separa·
tist issue occurred some years ago at a
time when lesbian separatism was riding
a cresting wave: I had an embarra.stied call
from a lawyer-friend with whom I had
worked on a number of matters. She had
been a!'ked , by a particularly ardent separatist,
to prepare a trust. The trust was to
contain some rather complex provisions.
My friend felt that the provision were
beyond the range of her competence, and
asked for my assistance.
The irony. of course, was that the entire
job was to be top secret. I was to prepare
the draft for my firend and she would submit
it to the client as her own work. Above
all else, the client was not to know that a
man had been involved in the drafting
process.
I did the work requested, bemused and
saddened by the situation. It waa sad to
think that the client felt so strongly on the
issue; still I could not help but enjoy the
reality that a man had actually drafted
the trust.
Of course the sexuality of the person
who drafted the trust was irrelevant, and
so the client's insistence on a woman as
her lawyer was misplaced. Her insistence
should have been on someone who could
do the job she needed done: whether that
person be man, woman or eunuch.

women in an organization called SAGE
(which is both inter-generational and
actively concerned about sexual parity)
has been wonderfully rewarding. SAGE
volunteers, women and men, work
together. planning support and assistance
for gay elderly. Issues of sexism are diffused
in an environment of cooperation,
and in the process gay men and lesbian
women learn about each other's concerns.
Ridding oneself of sexist notions is an
ongoing process, not unlike coming out
itllelf. Sexism is ingrained in our patterns
of speech and grammar. Constant vigilance
is essential to shake free from it. Yet
that vigilance pays dividends in the com·
mon bonds within the gay male and le,.
bian community.

Playwright Pearson Describes 'Ancestor'
By Lacy Cale
He's a bright-eyed cowboy who uses the
word "irrefutable" as easily as "ain't" in
conversations. He saunders in and plops
down like he just stepped down out of a
semi or in from three days on the range.
Not really what you would think would
show up for an interview repreaenting a
leading playwright in the urban Houston
literary scene.
The person described is Max Pearson,
Houstonian of some 11 years, whose play,
The Ancestor is currently at the Main
Street Theater, 2540 Times Blvd.
Ancestor is a "what ir' play, he said.
"What if an anthropologist, say a decade
after the evolution bombshell, found a fossil
that irrefutably backed up Darwin's
theory, he questioned. "There has always
been contention between the creationists
vs. the evoluntionists, but most people
nowadays can accept at least parts of both
theories. But at the turn of the century,
when this play is set, it was a very volitale,
really touchy subject and those people
didn't want to hear anything about some·
thing such as evolution."
With this basic conflict in mind, Pear·
son centers the action around three main
characters: anthropologist Ralph Bingley
(PhiBip Hafer), his companion and secretary
Todd Jones (Joe Ponessa) and a
creation-theory believer/journalist
named Mavis Louise Eddington.
"This one female journalist, who is a
religios zealot, is a very strong woman,"
said Pearson. ''She writes for the National
Lion (something like the National
Enquirer). and intends to do everything
she can to discredit the scientist's find
after she wins his confidence and knows
all about it."
The play contains some "nifty confron·
tations," Pearson said, and there are infer·
ences to the untold story of the scientist
and his assietnnt who are gay. "The fact
that they are gay is not something that
motivates the play," Pearson said. "It's
just the personal relationship they have,
but they are so involved with the project,"
this find of the missing link, "that action
moves the play along."
Pearson said he studied several months
doing the re6earch to be able to write such
as play as The Ancestor." Researching the
techniques they used for such discoveries
was difficult because not many books tell
about the way things were in 1912. It's
harder to find historical science books."
But the research paid off and the play is a
powerful drama dealing with people's
thirst for discovery and enlightenment
which is always hampered by the myopic
view of others.
This is only one of many plays Pearson
has written, among them a one-act The
Doodle Bug and a children's play which
has been published. He also did a couple of
radio plays at KPFT.
He stuided drama and playwriting at
the University of Houston, and other
schools, and has been writing some eight
years.
"The payoff, because there isn't really
any money in it unleSB the play is just
fantastiC'ally popular, is in the audience
reaction." he said. "] love just being there
and hearing the whispers and watching
the expressions. Jt really gives you a feeling
inside. That's why I didn't care for
radio. There was no interaction-no
audience that 1 could see."
Pearson said that Houston audiences
are lucky to have what he termed a third
alternative in theater. "Ten years ago the
theater in Houston was just stagnant.
Now it is looser and more interesting
things are being done. People have a choice
with such places as Main Street, Stages
and Chocolate Bayou, where before they
had to choose between the Alley and community
theater. Now they have a third
alternative."

o Tina and Pam for a
Hot Night at the
Summit
By Hollis Hood
If the dancing before the show doesn't
heat up the audience at the Gay Political
Caucus Rally, Sunday, June 26 in the
Summit at 7:00 p.m., then a pair of sizzling
ladies will-Tina Turner and Pamela
Stsnley.
Tina, a veteran songtreSB and legendary
mistress of rock/ soul, said during a phone
interview from Canada that she is looking
forward to performing in Houston again.
She just finished a southern tour, with an
out.standing engagement at Rockefeller's
here.
"I think it's going to be a lot offun," she
said. 0 l've been performing up here and
the crowds are a little stiffer. But when we
get down with these folks it'll really get
loose."
Tina said she doesn'treally get involved
in the politics of the event. "I'm an entertainer,
and that's why I'll be there."
And she has been there, come back, set
trends, ahook things up and done it all for
the past 20 years in show business.
She started out as what she defined as a
"country girl. I didn't know there was such
a thing as traveling around singing and I
wasn't into records, but I always sang in
talent shows and all. It was only after I
started going to movies that I wanted to be
a 'star.' I would dream about it. Then when
I went to St. Louis and met Ike (the show
Pamela Stanley
was previously the Ike and Tina Turner
revue), I started singing with a band.
"I sang with the band on the tapes and
that'a how I gotstart.t>d. The dancing came
from my own energy on stage and the min'
dresses came out after that. I never reall)
fit into those long sequended dresses, and
the image just came."
Variety is good for music, said Turner.
Rock and roll has come further than in
Elvis' day, and music is notcategorized as
it once was. "What they do now is more
universal, more unisex. They do what they
want to do, and I like it." Some of the
attitudes and fasiona of the punkers can
be transpoeed into other people's think·
ing, she said. "Some people are just look·
ing for attention . .. aome things onJy
belong on 1tage."
And one peraon that certainly belon1•
on •tare, becauae 1he ie a 1tar entertainer,
Philip Hafer and Joe Pone3sa play the anthropologist and his assistant.
respectil'ely, in Max Pearson's play "The Ance ·tor," currently at Main Street
Theater
will share the spotlights with Tina on
Sunday-Pamela Stanley.
In a recent interview with this Philadelphia
native turned Texaan (she lives in
Dallas now), she aaid she is excited about
sharing the bill with Tina Turner, and
about riding on the Officer's Club float in
the Gay Pride Parade.
Stanley learned music at her grandfather's
knee, she said. She and her brother
and sisters would all sing harmony to gui·
tsr accompaniment. "I tell people that I
learned to sing through the S&M method.
If we didn't do it right, he would tske my
hand and bend it back. He didn't mean to
hurt us, but we learned to sing harmony
real quick."
From that time on, she knew she wanted
to be a professional singer, Reared on the
classic folk music of the Kingston Trio,
Brothers Four and Simon and Garfunkle,
she studied her craft and headed off to
New York to make a name for herself.
While singing in a piano bar one night, a
German producer came in heard her and
ultimately offered her a record contract. "I
was like a storybook," she said. "They
flew me to Germany first class, and I had
never been out of the U.S. I stayed in a
hotel that was a castle. I thought I was
Cinderella."
Grateful for the experience and the
excellence the Germans demanded of her,
she was glad to get back to United Ststes
soil. "You don't know how to appreciate
America until you go to another country,"
1he aaid. "We would be recording and
there was a window in the studio and
you'd look out over the land mines and the
wall, but even so, Berlin waa beautiful."
She aaid they record thing• differently
there. Instead of bringing in a '""' violiru
to cut the record, they brought in an entire
symphony. "They could get their takes
done in just a couple of shots, and it would
take me more; it was wild.''
During her year stay, she toured Hol·
land, France, England and Germany and
has since appeared in South America and
Mexico as well taking audiences by storm
with her high-energy disco dance music.
Her current hit is "I Don't Want to Talk
About It," which she will be performing
among others at the Summit. "My brother,
James Lee Stsnley and Seberin Browne,
wrote it. When I first heard it I wasn't
impressed, but in changing this beat dis·
covered this would be fabulous for disco."
Stsnley and her husband, Frank Mandaro,
have their own recording label now,
Komander, out of Dallas. "Even the doctor
that delivered my baby invested. in the
company. We wanted it to be a Texas
company-record in Texas; we even press
our own records
"We had no idea it would take off like it
has. WewerejustgoingtoselJthealbumat
shows, but it's been out a week and we've
already sold out of 10,000 copies. (Don't
despair, they have reordered.)
"I'm more confident now. I feel myvoice
is stronger now. We're very excited about
the future. It's bigger than I expected."
She expressed special thanks to the
Officer's Club for their sponsorship at the
Summit. "We are really going to have a
good act. We have new dances, new
costumes-it's really going to be great."
So be there. Tickets are still on sale for

Now we're not talking about some kids

o Montrose C/.oggers
Put a Big Stomp on
Opera Buffs
By Hollis Hood
Toes were c]acking with heels in the air
when the Montrose Cloggt!rs went
through their high stepping routines at a
private party given by Leonard Bernstein,
composer of the opera A Quiet Place which
premiered here last week.
The audience was a bit skeptical about
who and what was going to be done when
Clogger Rusty announced the presentation.
But, after the performance started and
the Cloggers did their routine to the
"Texas National Anthem" (Cotton Eyed
Joe), everyone began to shout and sing
along. (And nobody sings along like the
cast members of an opera.)
They finished with "Yellow Rose of
Texas" and presented Bernstein with a
bouquet of yellow roses and both he and
Stephen Wadsworth, his assistant, with
Clogger T·shirts.
"These guys (and one girl) are really
great," exclaimed Bernstein. "I think they
should go on national TV. They would be
an overnight success. They demonstrate a
lot of training and excellent self discipline
in their performance. They're just wonder·
ful."
He suggested that they be used to raise
money for AIDS. "That's such a terrible
thing. People are dying. Something must
be done. Like those nurses who won't
attend AIDS patients anymore. And did
you know that morticians in New York are
refusing to embalm the bodies of persons
who have died from AIDS? It's just ridicu ·
lous."
Bernstein conducted the national
anthem at the Men's Health Crisis circus
benefit in April at Madison Square
Garden and said that he was overwhelmed
by the unity and deep sense of
conviction exhibited by the people who
attended the performance. "I have performed
all over the world," the composer/
conductor said, "and I have never felt
anything like what was in that building. It
brought tears to your eyes."
The Cloggers performed via special invitation

o Entering This Place Is
No Risk
By Jon Cheetwood
If you're ready for something different
and totally refreshing in entertainment,
check out Risky Business at 2700 Albany,
adjacent to the Officer's Club. The new
club opened last Friday, filling a void
Houston was not aware it had.
I'm not certain there's a real category to
put Risky Business into; it's sort of a
The ('ltJgli(f'Tll clog for Leonard /J,•rnsU'm
The club itself has an audience-aware
comfortable layout with no bad view in
sight. If has a proper balance of performing
and audience space, cozy but not at all
cramped, allowing 12 performers to work
the whole club with ease. The raised bar
area provides more seating for those who
might want to drop in alone. Thisclubwas
built from scratch for performing; live
entertainment was not an afterthought
here, but it's prime concern. Risky Business
has an unpretentious ambience with
a soft cJassiness, comfortable in all
respects.
The handsome cast of the present show,
From Blues to Broadway,defi.nately aims
to please. Among the many highlights in
the evening, Dolores Garcia is armed with
three of them and a show·stopping voice.
Her blues number and Cabaret's .. Maybe
This Time" in the first half could only be
paled by her saucy delivery of "Hard
Hearted Hanna" in the second act. Working
with the audience during "Hanna,"
she doesn't miss an opportunity to play off
an unsuspecting but delighted male
patron. This girl has the aplomb and
instincts to raise blood pressures with her
theatrical savvy.
Poppy Ann Champlin will win your
heart and take control of your funny bone.
Floating through both acts as a screen test
reject of Scarlet O'Hara, she too has such a
natural audience rapport as to invite heckling,
firing back with a charming quick
wit. Miss Champlin also writes her own
material. Her fishschick monologue keeps
the audience laughing in tuna.
Tim Forrester has a minor tour de force
with his wimpy perfection in "Nobody,"
and Frank Vega is constantly charming,
particularly in a smoldering °Fever."
Director Andrea Modisette does stop the
show with "Tarara Boom De Ay." The
number simply could not be better. I
wouldn't want to see it without Miss
Modisette; there's talent in every easy gesture
she makes.
Of particular note also is the clever choreography
by Lea Geaslin and Terrence
Kam, and the costuming by Johnny V.
Oh, I could go on and on.
Eadl and every one of the performers
are soloists, and together they have a delicious
sound. I could carry on about each of
their numbers and qualities, but you really
have to see this for yourself. Risky Busi·
ness is different and provides you with a
totally entertaining evening. Believe me
folks. Go.

Texxas Music Festival Rocks Dome
By David Giebert
The Texxas World Music Festival at the
Astrodome Sunday drew an almostcapac·
ity crowd. It came off with only a few dis·
putes among the maSRes, with about the
same amount of drug overdoses and people
suffering from exhauston. Everyone
else enjoyed the twelve hours of rock
music, draft beer and dome food. (Well.
two out of three ain't bad).
Uriah Heep opened the show and almost
went unnoticed with a fast 30 minute set.
Unfortunately for them, their songs were
an excellent blend of old and new Heep.
But when you're the first band out of five,
your set tends to be more of a sound check
for the other bands. For this reason, Uriah
Heep, a veteran band on the come-back
road, received a moderate response.
After a 40-minute equipment change,
Ted Nugent walked on stage unseen and
unannounced, picked up his guitar,
blasted the crowd for a few seconds,
stopped, yelled to the full house "So you
mother--, you want to rock and roll?"
Rock is what Ted does best as he cut loose
with a blazing 60-minute show. Ted's
music was selected in majority from his
first live Gonzo LP. WeH received, he came
back for an encore and managed to set a
high energy tempo for the rest of the evening.
Anothe-r equipment change brought the
Canadian band Triumph to the stage. Tri·
umph picked up where Nugent left off with
another hour set of their own, playing all
their FM radio hits and some solid rock
from their current LP. The high point was
a well executed guitar solo by lead guitarist
Rick EmmitL He managed to merge
cfa .. 1c with blues and rock to put a little
extra touch in their show.
In between Triumph and Sammy
Hagar, the crowd was pumped up by
KLOL s Col. St. Jame.-;: who announced
their live broadcast and that attendance
In the dome topped the Dallas show the
day before.~ he announced, "Here he is,
the peoples' choice, Sammy Hagar," the
dome roared to confirm the statement.
Hagar was the high point for most of the
younger fans. Sammy stroked the crowd
with statements like. "Yesterday's show
in DaHas was just a warm-up," and "In
DaUaa the fire marshall wouldn't let me
use my special effects or break up any gui·
tars. but tonight we're going to do it all."
T..J. NU/lent
And do it all he did.
Sammy's head set microphone allowed
him mobility to run all over the stage
while playing his guitar. But that wasn't
enough for him. Throughout the set he
was climbing on the 90 ft. sound scaffolding.
He hung off it, jumped around on it,
and rope swung to the stage from the lower
levels of it. He also managed to get up on
the overhead stage lighting where he
rocked the dome with wild guitar solos.
But still the Red Rocker wasn't done.
Besides his own antics, he brought three
large skylights with four individual pods
apiece stationed at various positions on
the floor, eight 12-ft. flame throwers in
front of the stage, and a Red Rocker Firebird
on stage to dance on which he finally
blew up. After 60 minutes of this, the
crowd was at a pandemonium level.
Sammy came back on for a half hour
encore where he topped his own spectacular
show by bringing out Ted Nugent and
Rick Emmitt to finish his set with a red hot
version of Led Zepplin's classic "Whole
Lotta Lovin."
By this time of the night, the audience
was showing definite signs of fatigue and
the hour equipment change before Styx
sent some of the people home early. For the
brave who stuck it out, the wait was well
worth it. Styx's music and productions
had a classic professional touch. (Quite a
relief from the twang and scream styles of
all the previous artists.)
The Kilroy extravaganza started y,rith a
short 10-minute movie about the banning
of rock end roll by the dictator of a police
state. This situation wai-; a direct result of
a concert where Kilroy's band (alias Styx
had allegedly killed a spectator. Rock and
roll was declared the music of the devil
and banned.
After a daring escape, Kilroy meets up
with devoid rock and roller Tommy Shaw,
lead guitarist, and two of them reminisce
over the night rock was blacklisted. The
video shut off, the curtain opened and
Styx began their set. There music is some
of the best in the business right now, and
they are extremely tight. Their two hour
show included music from all stages of
their career. Styx is the kind of band that
blends a combination of hard rock material
with a soft spoken ballad or can be
jamming on guitar solo one time and play
some classic piano work the next. This
Ru:li Emmitt of Triumph
truly is the work of a polished, seasoned
group.
With the Styx version of the Jerry Lee
Lewis song "All Shock Up," the curtain
clo1:1ed and with music still ringing the rafters,
the 1983 Houston version of the
Texxas World Music Festival ended.
o Smathers At
Place in Sun
By Lynn Herrick
Gay activist Dee Smathers went on record
as "raising hell" during her presentation
at A Place in the Sun June 21.
"Just tell 'em I raise some shit," said the
42-year-old social worker. She sees her
present role in the community as that of
"gadfly," to "get people screaming at each
other, and maybe one of these days they'Jl
listen to each other."
No one screamed at 704 Fairview, but
she did get into a friendly disagreement
with a gay man in the audience who felt
that to "stop when I start offending"
showed respect for self and others. "We'll
be good Jews," said Dee, "and they won't
put us in those ovens, right?"
She said she considers an apt comparison
to be "they burned 250,000 of us." Ref·
using to walk on eggs, she said "I'm not
going to stop being things because it
offends. I don't have to deal with somebody
else's bigotry.
'To me" said the controverisal "dyke"
(which she defines a~ "political leader .. )
•·wrecking straight.B is a matter of gay
pride." She explained that wr~king waA
"'A pre-Stonewall term for making them
uncomfortable in :-iituations where they
couldn't retaliate."
She says understanding from straights
is not the goal because "the straight world
will never understand." and admitted that
she doesn't understand transsexuals.
But latt"r Mhe said, "'You can't blame people
who say 'be quiet' becau.se they paid a
tremendous price. I've seen people who
paid desperate prices." She sees t~e present
situation in the gay community as a
generation gap between these veterans
who went through the "wars" and now
don't want to make waves because they've
finally "got it good" and the young gays
who demand their legal rights instead of
pleading for acceptance. A young man
exemplified this view saying, "When you
Sammy Hagar PHOTOS BY OAVIO G1EBEAT
segregate yourself, they don't see that
you're people."
A young woman, who identified herself
as straight, defended Dee's recent shirtless
gardening {which so wrecked the
neighbors that they called the police) by
pointing out the cultural relativism of
dress. According to Dee, toplessness in
one's own yard is legal for either sex if
you're not "soliciting" or creating a traffic
hazard .
"I wouldn't swap anything for having
been in the last 20 years of gay rights and
seen the changes," said the veteran
scrapper. In the 60s when she came out,
gay leaders and publicatioins were saying
"we are sick-please accept our illness."
When laws against "cross dressing" were
interpreted to mean "no fly.front pants"
for women, the "dyke bar" called the Roaring
60s where she hung out was raided,
and Dee and all her friends who delighted
in wearing fly.front jeans were arrested.
Naturally, the gay community put on drag
shows to raise the bail money!
0 The biggest gay rights step I ever
took," she said, "was when I cut my hair."
It was her "emancipation" from gay stereotypes,
saying "hey, I can cut my hair
and be a dyke but I don't have to be a
butch." In those days the "definition of a
fluff was you went to the beauty shop
twice a week-if you were a butch you
went only once."
Women, according to Samthers, had to
prove their gayness by being "as butch as
you could get away with without being a
gym teacher," and men by "asnelly as you
could gC>t away with without being a band
director." (Hey. Andy what the hell does
that mean?)
Her most emotional t;lep was at the
International Women's Year where she
was instrumental in getting the gay rights
resolution pass(>d.
'We srream and shriek and fight eat'h
other," Rhe said of today's gay community
here in Houston, but "we've got more polit·
ical clout than you'd ever believe. We've
elected a mayor. We've elected a majority
of City Council."
Still she says, "The shit going to come
down again gang." She predicts things
will get better before they get worse, but
something will happen-war, plague,
famine-"to make things worse for queers."
Talking of AIDS, she said that nobody
cared until "somebody besides niggers
and queers" got it. "Knowing at least2000
gay men," she said, "I know some of my
friends are going to die. I don't like that at
all."
To young gays she said, "How you people
will do it, I don't know. I probably
won't be a part of it, I have no right to tell
your generation what to do."
"I'm not gonna make speeches. I'm not
gonna stamp my feet. I'm not gonna
organize any more," she claimed. From
now on she plans to content herself with
snipping at people, "making fun of pompous
asses that we all make of ourselves.
Sit back, stir up shit and hopefully make
you think."
Smathers praised A Place in the Sun for
making people think. She is writing a con·
temporary gay history called Hide ThlB
Book. "It will be one woman'sviewof gay
rights that's not gonna be nice to anybody."
Her retiring words were: "We do not
have equal rights for anybody until we
have equal rights for all."

The following is a leuer or introduclion that is sent to businesses in each local community we serve as well as to
businesses throughout tht nation.
To introduce you to Gay International, Inc., a publicly-held corporation, the undertaking of this corporation is to
publish a national and international volume of Yellow Pages entitled "Gay Areas." This is not to be another "g-dy
guide" but rather is to be a guide for the gay community to business and professionals where they may go without their
lifestyle being an issue. The publication has acquired Gay Internauonal, Inc., and was at the time in its 6th edition on
the Pacific Coast and has neen enthu•iatically received in the past. The board of directors of Gay International, Inc., are
now expanding the directory to include Salt Lake City, Denver, Housion, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, New Orleam,

Division Clincher Saturday
By Eddie Chavez
The North Division for the MSA Greater
Houston Softball League is up for grabs
this weekend as Dirty Sally's prepares to
clinch the division title against the Brazos
River Bottom.
Surely the Brazos River Bottom has a lot
to say about that. Last week's game with
the Galleon proved two things to the team.
One, the team is able to not only win, but,
two, they are displaying teamwork and
endurance even when errors are allowed.
Mathematics and probabilities play an
important role in predictions. But, I am
certainly no math major especially after
Murphy's Law prevailed over my recent
predictions.
Facts are facts and here are some that
bring us to Saturday's game of the even·
ing. Dirty Sally's earlier beat the Brazos
River Bottom; the River Bottom defeated
the Galleon; and the Galleon put Sally's
away. If A is greater than B; Bis greater
than C and C breaks the rule being greater
than A; then B (BRB) can follow that
precedent over A (Dirty Sally's).
Sounds mathematicaJly unsound but
probab.le a~d realistic. Just ask Mu;phy.
Gamebme is 8:00 p.m.; Levy Field marks
the spot for a game that will be hot or a
g~me that will be a blowout as before. The
winner, undefeated for the remainder of
the season, will clinch the top spot.
Now, in other games, Catch One meets
the Galleon at 5:00 p.m., while the Montrose
Voice and the Briar Patch should provide
fans with a good ballgame at 6:00
p.m. The Barn team meets Charlotte's in
an evenly paired card beginning at 7:00
p.m.
. The league will not hold games Sunday
m order to participate in the Gay Pride
Week parade and ra1ly.
o Women Win, Men
All-Stars Split
An overflow crowd of men and women
demonstrated "Unity Through Diversity"
as the MSA men and women's leagues
played the Gay Pride Week's traditional
games Saturday.
A filpur of the moment invitation to a
barbeque for the Dallas All·Stars sponsored
by Sports Coverage Unlimited provided
interaction away from the field prior
to the game. Both Dallas teams filled my
apartment. "I believe I never hosted as
many women in my life at any gathering."
They met the MSA Women Allstare as
Dallas' High Country were swarmed by
Houston to a 24-0 game. The later game
featured the Women's champions, the
Briar Patch Renegades, in another high
~:~:sgU~~:~~ ~ouston Renegades 16;
The North Division from the men's
league overpowered the Dallas Alletars
13-3.
Ken Bailey was 3 for 4, two doubles, a
homerun, and scored four runs. Mano
Marchena had a perfect game batting 4 for
4, two doubles, one triple and four RB!swhew!
Six rune scored in the sixth inning
sealed the game for the North Allstars.
Dallas scored all three runs in the third
inning. Three hits and a walk in that
inning were the only hits seen by DaHas.
Carl Fires, "Precious," as most people
known him, was the winning pitcher.
The South Division had their hands full.
Six runs in the third inning put Dallas
ahead but the South rallied to tie in the
sixth on singles by Bill Fike and Bob
James. A homerun by Dallas' Alvoy
Tatum in the bottom of that inning broke
the tie and won the game as the South
Allstars were retired in their half of the
seventh.
Barry Pirkey was 4 for4; Danny Webber
2 for 2 and a triple; and Tim Boates 2 for 4
loo Houston. Dallas' Jesse Vallego's 3 for
4 · and Terry Bruton, Gene Cross, Ken
Gray and Steve Walker shared two hits
apiece.

o A Precious Win for

If anyone could have pitched a finer game
last Sunday, it was Carl "Precious" Fries
from the Brazos River Bottom.
The two-time pitching allstar allowed
Barry Pirkey 2 for 3, scoring two runs
Gary Campbell shared action as he wa~
also 2 for 3 and scored three runs for the
Galleon. With only two extra base hits,
Carl allowed no walks as he left the
mound.
Teamwork prevailed for the BRB as
Robert Arriaga was 4 for 4 scoring three

Women's competition last Satu.,rday
runs. Bill Goetz was 2 for 3 and scored
three runs while Ferrell Bivins added
more batting 2 for 3, a walk, and 2 RBis.
Randy Whitaker's 3 for 4 and Ken
McGaughy's 2 for 3 and 2 RBis provided
seven runs in the sixth inning to solidly
defeat the Galleon 15-10. The team also
drew four walks and scored in every
inning.
In other action last Sunday, the Briar
Patch and Charlotte's held their game to
0-0 after three innings. The Briar Patch
scored on back to back hits by Joey Holton,
Dennis Owens and Bill Sansom. The
1-0 score stayed until the seventh when
Charlotte's struck for two runs on hits by
David Stacy and Benny Beck and three
Briar Patch errors. In the bottom of the
seventh the Briar Patch scored two runs.
The winning one was aocred by Rick Newman
when Marian Kadlecek singled. The
Briar Patch 3; Charlotte's 2.
The Montrose Voice was initially held to
a close game with the Montrose Mining
Co.1 JR's. But a splurge of runs mid-way in
the game pushed the Voice way ahead.
Bob James. despite a bad cold, placed 3
out of 4. Bob Fleisher was 2 for 2. while
Dave Pace batted 3 RBis along with
Chuck Meredith's 4 RBis.
The Mine had seven hits with Phil Loveland
and Freddy Sims batting two hits
each. Final score, the Voice 14, the Mining
Co. 4.
In the other game Sunday, Sally's batting
brigade was led by Mike Odensky and
Mike Morrison, both with 3 hits. Morrison,
the league's MVP of last year, is recovering
from a four game slump batting 1 for
15 in those games.
Two hits by Jim Cates, Mike Lender,
Harry Goldberg and Richard Mendez provided
a run-rule against Jim's Gym, 17-1.
