------We at the Dailg welcome you to toctzg's paper! THETUFTS DAILY April 27,2000 9 In Support of Tufts' Non- Discrimination Policy A Personal Statement to the Tufts Community:

I want to clarify my grievance with the Tufts Christian Fellowship and my goal in filing a complaint with the TCU Judiciary. I never asked TCF to affirm homosexuality as a Biblically accepted practice. I simply wanted the freedom to disagree with their view, affirm the view of my church (the TCF is a non-denominationalgroup that has members from a variety of religious backgrounds),and to continue being a leader next year. In recent days, the TCF has cited "homosexual practice" as a reason for denying me a leadership position. I merely asked to be allowed to date a Christian-a practice open to all leaders. TCF chose to deny me 3 leadership position because of my sexuality: in fact the Boston Herald reported that "the fellowship still wants Catalano as a member said [Curtis] Chang but could not exclude her homosexual identity in considering her request to become a senior leader'' (Herald, April 21). Although this has been made out to be a case of religious freedom, it is really an issue of my right as a Tufts student to fully participate and be safe in all Tufts student groups. Sincerely, Julie Catalano

We the undersigned groups and individuals support Tufts Policy that "recognized organizations may not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, religion, sex, national or ethnic origin, age, sexual orientation, disability, or an individuals previous affiliations in criteria for membership, assignment of voting privileges, or

The Daily% Arts and €ntertainment Guide

Music, and how it’s marketed, is cyclical. It seems that about twice a decade we can expect a wave of something, whether it be bubble gum pop or heavy metal, to reign supreme, before being gently swept away. British music is no different, but the waves happen more frequently and don’t last as long. In 1994 we had Oasis, Blur, and the Brit Pop genre make a small dent, followed by its 1997 cousin in the form of Radiohead, the Verve, and more serious English rock. As 2000 begins to warm up, we find some old faces coming back, as well as a group of new upstarts. Weekender takes a look at which British bands we can expect to hear from in the coming months.

American Psycho: This film is an adaptation of Brett Easton Ellis’s 1991 book about a successful young Who’s theFatGuywith StymieatLinwoodGrille. businessman who is also, as the name suggests, psychotic. The storyline consists of little more than a Cyrus Chestnut Trio at Regattabar description of a k.illing spree. The book sparked controversy even before its publication, and perhaps justifiably so. Christian Bale plays his role as Patrick Bateman straight. He doesn’t milk the role for laughs, *- and there is little irony in his delivery. His internal monologues, delivered in this even tone, are all the more frightening. His critique of Genesis’ “Sussudio,” read Deb Pasternakat Lizard Lounge with the same deadpan seriousness to two half-naked prostitutes in his apartment, is hilarious. The supporting Scissorfight at the Middle East cast is equally solid. Reese Witherspoon has little The The at Avalon screen time as Bateman’s spoiled, oblivious girlfriend, but puts it to good use. Jared Leto, as the aforementioned business partner, is appropriately hateable. Cara Seymour, playing a prostitute and Bateman victim who spends most of the movie staring into the camera with a wounded look in her eyes, is nonetheless surprisingly affecting. * ** * (JE) mashing Pumpkins at Tsongas Arena (Lowell).

Though Platt has established himself in the past as a capable, comedic actor, here his talent is wasted as he occupies a role that would have been better filled by a real wrestler.
