	The BART derailment location:

	On the east top tunnel at 12th St. in Oakland, where it splits
into Fremont-bound and a SF-bound tunnels.

	The train was traveling to Fremont, going the reverse of the
usual direction for test reasons.

	I too have sometimes detected a rough ride at the Oakland Wye
switches. It's about time they fixed them.

I remember an analysis by the Chonicle (not sure if it was posted here
or was just in the newspaper).  They were somewhat critical of the
choice of an in-street light rail, since it would not be appreciably
faster than the current buses but would cost a lot to put in.  I
believe they were talking about this 3rd st. corridor.

Without comment on the merits, there are two BART/SFO proposals.

One would have BART end at a shared station with CalTrain and have
a "people mover" ferry people back and forth.  This is the proposal
put forward by the most groups and it seems to be the one that 
most of the people here are assuming.

The other would have BART have a station at the airport itself
(perhaps in the basement level of the parking garage) and people
would fan out to the various terminals.

The El Camino Reelers square dancing group occasionally meets at the
Marie Callender's in Mtn. View (could be Los Altos) on El Camino just
south of San Antonio for dinner before dancing.  I haven't noticed any
discouragement from the staff.  We're usually 8 bears--quite a contrast

Announcing: AIDS Research Immuno-Enhancement Study

The Institute of HeartMath and the Healing with Love Foundation are jointly
conducting the AIDS Research Immuno-Enhancement Study to enhance immune system
function and improve the quality of life for those who have tested HIV
positive. Over a six month  period, study participants who are HIV positive
will be trained in HeartMath techniques for emotional and mental
selfmanagement. T-cell levels will be tested throughout the study following
scientific protocol.

IHM researchers can measure, record and correlate the human electrical system
to different mental and emotional states. Research shows that when individuals
self-manage mental and emotional energies, heart and brain electricities
become coherent, hormonal secretions become balanced, and perceptions of life
improve. HeartMath is a system for self-management, currently taught to
educators, business people, military personnel, and others in high stress
jobs. HeartMath techniques  are discussed in "The Hidden Power of the Heart",
by Sara  Paddison, Vice President of IHM, and "Self Empowerment", by Doc Lew
Childre, Founder of IHM. IHM is also developing musical tonal patterns to
harmonically link with the DNA to enhance T- cell strength in people with AIDS
and other immune disorders.

This study is jointly conducted and sponsored by IHM and Healing  with Love
Foundation, founded by Dr. Leonard Laskow, author of  "Healing with Love". Our
scientific advisory board is requesting  ten more northern California
participants for this study, which begins next Sunday, January 17. The
advisory board is funding participation expenses. We cordially request your
heartfelt participation. Please call Dr. Rozman, Wendy Rickert, or Euphrasia

      is a moderate 6-mile hike that features many trees and great
      views of the surrounding areas. Meet at the Billy DeFrank Center
      at 9:30 a.m. with lunch and liquids. Boots and layered clothing
      are recommended. Heavy rain cancels. If you have any questions,
      call George at (408)265-7341 or Cathy at (415)967-2026.


    * Purisima Creek - Saturday, January 16th

      Cruz range. More information will follow later. Contact Jim at
      (415)285-9660 for specifics.


    * Fall Creek Historical Hike

      This park is located north of Felton near Santa Cruz. It features
      great scenery with plenty of water, especially the way it's been

I graduated in 1968, so it was sometime in 1967 (possibly '66 but I don't
think so) that the College grudgingly recognized the "Student Homophile
Association"--two years before Stonewall and, as far as I know, the first
such student organization in the US.

It caused an uproar, of course, with the Chair of the Classics Dept., no
less, calling it the end of the University (which by Columbia standards
was far more extreme than "the end of the Western World.")  I wonder what
he thought all those Greeks has been up to.

I, unfortunately, was too closeted/unaware to do more than dream about
going to a meeting (sigh).

At our 20th reunion in '88, it was interesting to see who else from our
class was gay--sort of a reunion within a reunion.  So any Columbia
College Class of '68 motssers who were thinking of going to our 25th
reunion next June, let me know and we can plan something special.

My lover and I have eaten at Marie's in Fremont (at the Hub Shopping
Center) many times. I think we're identifiably gay* and we've never
felt "discouraged" in any way. We have both remarked, however, that
we've never seen an identifiably gay waitress or waiter there, either.

Foggy City Dancers originated over ten years ago to promote and teach
square dancing for lesbians and gay men in the San Francisco area.
New classes start in July and January of each year and last for 20 to
22 weeks.  In addition to local dances hosted by the area's five
different gay and lesbian square dance clubs, "fly-ins" -- weekend
square dance events -- are held in various cities in the US and Canada
throughout the year.  The 1992 annual convention in Albuquerque last
July attracted over 1000 dancers.  Learn to dance in time to attend
the 10th annual convention (July 4th weekend 1993) in Seattle,

Personally, I haven't eaten at Marie Callender's for over a year, as
I've found it almost impossible to get a decent vegetarian meal there,
so I have no idea as to what their current atmosphere is.

Does the article say who issued these instructions?

If these allegations are true, perhaps we should have a "gay night" at
all area MC's, and take up as much table space as possible, being
visibly gay, and ordering as little as possible.  (We wouldn't want
them to make much money from us, after all...)
