' "If you're out when you're starting out (at college), it's so much easier," Sewer said. ' This is because students can gather a network of others that don't object to their sexual orientation, and because it bypasses the complicated problem of coming outto very old, close friends who can react unpredictably. At Dartmouth, straight students "are much more aware" than in the past, of homosexual's perspective, Mastin said.
