that care about them," Solomon said.
While alcohol-selling establishments often
conflict with nearby schools, Oakley, who once
served on the Dallas Plan Commission, said
the relationship works because it's been kept
on a professional level. "There is never any-
thing that is tobacco- or alcohol-related that
ever enters that school, even if it's a box that
says Coors on it."
Solomon says there is an agreement that
anyone going to the school, even if they work
for a liquor company, that they do not wear
clothing that shows a liquor emblem on it.
"Unless you know them you wouldn't know
their affiliation."
Galindo said there are other schools being
adopted by neighborhood businesses but he
has never seen another that received the level
of support provided to Sam Houston.
"They give bicycles at the end of the year to
students with perfect attendance," and mone-
tary gifts to teachers who don't miss a day.
"We're very happy with the relationship.
They've been good neighbors and we try to
reciprocate," Galindo added. ▼
Lubbock school board nixes
on-campus gay organization
Group may file suit against district
By Tom Grego
Staff Reporter
Lubbock Independent School District
trustees have turned down a request for offi-
cial recognition from a group of gay and les-
bian students.
The organization, called Gay and Proud
(GAP) Youth, wanted access to Lubbock High
School facilities for meetings. The group also
sought access to school bulletin boards to
announce meetings.
GAP vice president Ricky Waite said the
group is discussing a possible lawsuit against
the district with representatives of the ACLU
in Lubbock and Lambda Legal Defense and
Education Fund's south central regional office
in Dallas.
A decision on a lawsuit will probably be
made next month, after students return from
the hoiliday break, Waite said.
"We are asking for the same rights that any
non-curricular group has, such as LULAC [the
League of United Latin American Citizens] or
4-H." Waite said other extra-curricular organi-
zations in the district are allowed to post meet-
ing notices on bulletin boards and put up ban-
ners in the hallways.
The group has been meeting off campus
since it was formed in July, Waite said.
"Our goal is to offer support to any stu-

dent," he said. "We focus on the sexual orien-
tation part, mainly because there isn't a group
that focuses on that."
Lubbock school superintendent Jack
Clemmons has told the group he is concerned
allowing the students access to school facilities
would open the door for an anti-gay group to
form,' creating the potential for an on-campus
conflict.
Waite said the school board's denial "did
not surprise" him because the group has
repeatedly been turned down by school
administrators.
ACLU member Harvey Madison said the
group has "tried to follow all the rules, and do
it the right way, asking permission each step of
the way, and they haven't been treated well."
"We knew that the school was going to be
against it, but we thought once we got to the
board, that it wouldn't be such a battle," Waite
added. "We thought our main opponents
would be the community and the students, but
it's been the complete oppositie." T
