many months of being preoccupied with the search for a suitable conference venue, the collective has signed a contract and in September will be held at Latrobe University in the Union Building.

With the venue now finalised, the collective can put more time into organising the conference program. Preliminary plans have begun and any person or group who would like to make suggestions or run a workshop should contact the collective as soon as possible (see Fine Print).

The fund-raising sub-group held raffle at Gay Day which raised nearly $300. Prizes were donated by many gay businesses and other businesses that rely on gay patrons for much of their custom. The conference treasurer, Glenn Marchant, has put out a call to all groups and individuals in the community to run a fund raising event for the conference or make a donation.

The conference now has an official logo which represents the theme Gay Unity, Gay Diversity, Gay Strength. The logo was selected from the dozens of entries which were submitted for the logo com-

petition. All of the entries were displayed at Gay Day, including the winning entry, which was designed by Denis Gray.

University group opposed

SYDNEY: After some years of almost total inactivity on local campuses there has been a spectacular rebirth of student gay organisations, but the new group at Sydney University has run into perisitent opposition from conservative elements of the student body.

Such exhibitions are common on the campus and are always held in the same open area on the fifth floor of the Wentworth Building. However, when representatives of the Collective approached the Functions Officer they were told that the Exhibition would have to be housed on the other side of campus in a closed room. The reason the Officer gave, without having seen the photographs, was that such an exhibition would cause offence to some people.

The student paper was also approached to do a special section for the Week's activities. As the paper, Honi Soit, provides space to every specialty Week it was not anticipated that there would be any problem. However, the Collective finally had to request the Executive of the Students' Council to intervene in order to get even the limited space that was finally allocated.

Then, as Honi Soit was going to press the Council's Director of Student Publications, Jude Bunbury, removed one of the items from the layout and substituted an objectionable article of his own. The Collective took Bunbury to a full meeting of the Students' Council where a censure motion against him was carried. However, the lodging of a recision motion has meant that his departure from the job has been delayed until the Council can meet again.
