Letter: College should explain Unity Club status

Editor: Recently a group of students attempted to get a club approved at Flagler College. The club was called Unity and was meant to bring together the gay and straight students in an alliance. This group has been trying to get approved by the administration for more than five years and has yet to get passed by the dean and president of the college.
I am writing to you as a plea to help these kids get recognized. The administration at Flagler College has stated that it is "not ready" for a club such as this on at Flagler even though more than 200 students signed a petition to get the group approved.
I ask that maybe someone can interview the president or dean of Flagler College in an attempt to shed some light on the ridiculous nature of their decisions to ostracize the gay student population.

c The St. Augustine Record
In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!
