Any ex-Tuftonians out there?  Let's form a Gay Alumnae/i Group for
Tufts University (Medford, MA).  Tho' I'm not absolutely sure,  I
don't think Tufts has one.

We could place ads with Tufts Clubs around the country (even West
Coast branches are fairly active), in the Alumnae/i paper, and in
student papers on campus (including the rightwing rag, The Primary
Source: observing the reaction should be fun).

What would be the purpose of such a group?  Why, to seduce deserving
underclassmen/women and make Jean Mayer cringe, of course! :=(

Seriously, "alumni affairs", as they're facetiously called, revolve
entirely around heterosexual families or divorces, offering very
little for gay alumnae/i.  We can provide a social setting of value
and interest, and create a visible gay input to "alumni affairs".

Maybe we should also contact the gay student group on campus and
discuss how to go about it.  This last June, a number of newspapers
(here, the Boston Globe) covered the few gay alumnae/i (I'm getting
tired of typing gender inflections!) groups that exist in the North-
East by describing how they participated in commencement week events.  
I believe Yale, Harvard, & Cornell have such groups.
