Gay life
depends
on self
image
v.
There is a wider difference within groups of homosexuals
and heterosexuals than between the two, according to Alan
Bell of Indiana University's Kensey Institute. Bell, a researcher
on homosexuality at the institute, spoke Saturday to the
Nebraska Symposium on Motivation.
The Kinsey Institute, he said, is compiling information on
homosexuality and heterosexual life styles. He said the data
from the 1970 survey is not yet finalized, but researchers
already can dismiss some popularly held beliefs on
homosexuality.
The survey indicates that a homosexual's self-image
determines his or her life style more than does that person's
sexual preferences. For instance, he said, there are not large
numbers of homosexuals in the stereotypic gay occupations,
nor is there any relationship between a person's sexual
preferences and his or her happiness.
A homosexual who doesn't accept his sexuality often
migrates to a "lavender ghetto," he said. Such ghettos are gay
communities where the person lives and works entirely with
homosexuals.
Persons living in the lavender ghetto often "iholate
themselves socially, he said.
Those happy with their sexual roles often say their
homosexuality enhances their sensitivity to others' problems,
he said. They also report that they feel a greater amount of
personal freedom in their sex role. Bell added. He also said
that those who have adapted to their sexual preferences are
happier at their occupations.
. The survey also might help researchers discover the cause of
homosexuality. He said the information might clarify the
relationship between a person's childhood experiences and his
later sexual role and. problems. He said it is possible that
women turn to homosexuality after an early
anxiety-producing heterosexual experience.
He said the same might be true for men, but added such
assumptions are "only a vague impression of the data."
He said the 1970 study is possibly more valid than any
other on the subject because it surveyed people from all walks
of life. Earlier studies, he said, usually questioned homosexuals
who were in jail or prison, seeking psycological help or
members of gay activist groups.

Aids applications
due now Feb. 1
Students planning to attend UNL next school year and who
need financial assistance should apply now through the office
of scholarships and financial aids, room 113 Administration
Building.
Applications should be completed and submitted to the
College Scholarship Service before Feb. 1, 1973 according to
Jack Ritchie, acting director of the office.
Ritchie indicated that there are a number of changes in the
federal financial aids programs for next year and money will
be more difficult to get. He said it was important that the
application deadlines be met.
One major change affects students applying for federally
insured loans, either on the state or national level.
Students applying for only this type of loan must complete
a parents or students financial statement as well as an
application form.
This financial statement need be submitted only once, so
students who have completed this form in connection with the
application need not file another for the federally insured
loan.
