beatings,frequent verbal assaults,and even the establish-ment of a formal organization opposing their presence on campus.  \nBut the hostility hasn't been limited to students.In each of the last threeyears the Gay Community--the campus voice for gays--has fought to add a provisionto the campus Human Relations Code that would ban discrimination against homosexuals.University President John Tbll has rejected it each time.  \nToll turned down the gays'demands once again last month,labeling it \"meaning-less\"and suggestive of an endorsement of homosexual acts which are forbidden by statelaws.  \nThe provision outlawed discrimination on the basis of \"expression of sexualpreference.\"  \nAs expected,the Gay Community was outraged by the president's decision.  \n\"Toll's decision is so retrogressive,\"said Tom Clauss,the group's former pres-  \nident and treasurer.\"I would expect that kind of decision from a fundamentalist camp-  \nMore on next page  \nContinued from previous page  \nus crusader.\"  \nThough Tbll's rejection has no noticeable practical effects on gay programs orfunding,the Gay Community views it as another sign of the administration's insensi-vity to gay rights.For a group constantly on guard against wise-cracking hetero-sexual students,such support is avidly courted.  \n\"We feel like it would have given us a lot of support,that they do intend tomake sure we are not discriminated against,\"Clauss adds,\"that they wouldn't tolerateany more attacks by other students on us.\"  \nThose attacks have evolved into a regular routine on campus for gays here.Clausssays he is often called nasty names by other students,and that his roommate had twoof his ribs broken two years ago in a fight with others in his dorm.Recently,he addsseveral \"straight\"students were placed on academic probation after assaulting anothermember of the Gay Community.  \nThat kind of hostility is common on college campuses.Administrations often don'tshy away from making anti-gay sentiments into policy.Brigham Young University,forexample,regularly spied on students,looking for signs of homosexual behavior.Lessaggressively,Cornell rushed out a \"clarification\"of its equal opportunitypolicy when it was found that someone had inserted a clause guaranteeingprospective students and faculty the right to \"sexual or affectional orientation.\"  \nLarry Gurel,a spokesman for the National Gay Task Force in New York,says thesituation may be improving somewhat.  \n\"Some campuses have reformed in the last few years,but there are still quite anumber who refuse to give gays the same rights as everyone else,\"he observes.  \n\"For those,\"he adds,the ACLU(American
