SAME-GENDER RELATIONSHIPS EXPLORED IN SLU PRESENTATION

CANTON - "When The Gays Move Into Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood" is the 
title of a presentation by student affairs professionals Joe Bertolino 
and Bil Leipold, to be held on Thursday, April 22, at 7 p.m. in the 
Common Room of Sykes Residence Hall at St. Lawrence University. It is 
open to the public, free of charge.
	An interactive and informative program that explores the realities 
of living in a same-gender partnership, Bertolino and Leipold discuss how 
their relationship has been shaped by heterosexism and heterosexual 
privilege. Drawing from their experiences as fraternity men and student 
affairs professionals, as well as the personal reactions of their families 
and friends, the two present a down-to-earth program that emphasizes the 
humanity of being gay.
	Bertolino is the director of college activities at Barnard College 
of Columbia University in New York and is active in the American College 
Personnel Association and the Association of Fraternity Advisors. Leipold 
is assistant director of residence life at Rutgers University in Newark, New 
Jersey, and received the Outstanding New Professional Award from the American 
College Personnel Association's Standing Committee on Lesbian, Gay and 
Bisexual Awareness. Both have presented at many conferences and institutions 
around the country.
