School Appoints "Heterosexuality" Officer

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA-September 29, 2005 -- Law student Dave Allen has a new job – to safeguard the rights of straight students.

He's Australia's first so-called "heterosexuality officer," appointed by the student association at the University of New England.

Allen says he's just a kangaroo-hunting, beer-drinking regular guy.

He's a little vague on what his official duties will be. But it looks like the student association is trying to make a point about gay rights and supposed special treatment for homosexual students.

Allen says he has nothing against gays. He tells The Australian newspaper they should come down to the local pub and have a few beers with him.
