1990, February 16 * UW Imprint Column: The Voice of Treason The GQ Quiz

A satire questionnaire written by J Hagey states that this quick quiz will let you know your Geek Quotient. Question #2 asks “Have you ever been a member of A) The Communist Party? B) GLLOW? (But do you know what it means?) or C) Menudo?” Question 6 asks “Who, in your opinion, exploits women more” with one of the options being “Womyn” - which was a pretty obvious reference to the lesbian feminist campus group called the Womyn's Group. It is hardly surprising that some of the questions involved cheap shots at the queer community and at feminists.

1990, February 16 * UW Imprint Column: Womyn's group not supported by Feds

A letter by Karen Davidson and Michelle Blais, writing as frequent attendees of the Womyn's Group, thanked G. Zimmerman et al for clarifying, in last week's Imprint, that “the Womyn's Group is not supported by the Federation of Students for the sole reason that they discriminate against men.” The authors point to the value of having lesbian-only space, and assert that discrimination is not always a negative thing. They are, however, aware that describing spaces and events as lesbian-only tends to create controversy, and indicate that this is why they have not attempted to seek the support of the Federation Students.

In addition, the article gives information about the production of the PTCC.

The centre-fold was entitled Calendar of Events (which are listed in this Chronology). The back page listed local organizations and clubs; it concluded with some classified ads.
