a walk-a-thon, except lhat instead of walking, pan.icipants get
pledges for community service such as working an shelters or
cleaning up parks. Last year students at LC and PSU joined together
to raise over S2,000 for relief erroru locally and nationally. If you

BY AARON BAAR
I've been to apartments lilce hers

and a VCR. Ba.111Cally. I could be

Her name is Shawn, and she is 23.
It's just lake everybody always says,
and l'vealwa~ heard. You wouldn't

I came to her through Cascade

hold down a job, or at least the res

at h1gh schools, hoping the sludents

she says, she geLS frustnlted doing

PAGES "At the beginning
of the AIDS

was that

feelings behind
us. We are
fighting a
disease, not

During my years at Brigham

ISSUme the fundamental Mormon
belief that their church as lhe only

presented only as evidence of

One semester I found myself
enrolled an a class called "Doctrine
or the Gospel." m wh1ch I was
subJected to an Idahoan scholar who
had been twice published by a
Mormon pre.~s . 1 cun clearly re
member these books, since he held
them up and quoted from them
during class. One day. lcctunng on
predestination (the idea that we are
destined to live during 8 certnin

reassure some of my classmates.
Two years ago Teny Eagle too
came to BYU lO deliver a week of
lccwres on Marxist literary cnti·
clSm, a subject on whach he lS a
world authority. Tile lecrures were
only offered to professors. Sw
dents were not told ofhlS vcm. (the
reason. I can only assume. bemg the
dangerous nature of the lectures).
Administrators feared that the En
glish department might not show up
at all. so they offered a fifty-dollar
bookstore gilt certificate to uny
prof~rwhoanendcdall five day'~
lectures. As a result. professors
treated the lectures as tf they were
htgh school detentions One pro
fC-\SOr read the paper dunng the
lecture. rustlmg the page.\ notsily
Another clipped hlS nails.
Eagleton htmself. who teaches
at Wnacre College at Oxford. was
bewildered as to why BYU had
mvtted hun there at all, but. as he
admitted. he "could use the money."
When Eagleton opened up the lec
ture for questions. the professors
revealed how litt.le of an under
standing they had for this clearly
unchristian theorist, who had car
her defined the three gns chambers
of society as ''family. mamagc and
religion." One professora..~>kcd him
to explain how he could remain 8
Marxist an the wake of the Tiananmen Square massacre .
EaglelOn b'led to explain that the
Chinese government' sreacrion was
notincoocwrencewithhisviewsof
Marxism, nor did it compromise his
pohocally-grounded style of lit.c:J
ary interpreution . Another asked
hun lO comment on the M01mon
professor's personal experience of
llavinggrownupin ldahoonafarm,
and then finding fulfillment as a
academ1c scholar. Eagleton. e."(et
cismg resllatnt, replied. with ear
nest curiosity, "so?"
There were other contributing
expencnces, such ns the many dis
turbang run-ins watne.ssed whale
cmvelling abroad with Monnons. Flying into Leningrad ,l overheard
one Monnon young woman sigh
and comment that .. the landscape
looks so depressmg-so repressed. ..
To me. it looked a lot like Utah.
Later. in Moscow. 1 overheard a
woman overcome with piry, ex
claim, "You just wantlO ... lO gwe
them each a Book of Mormon!"
ughung a candle in an English ca
thedral. T heard one of my compan
ions remark.. "this is so. like, s:&·
umic."
None of this meMS that the
Mormon Church has a monopoly
onclo$00-mmdcdne ·s. or thatB YU
is the final holdout of cen~nJ\ tp
and mdocuinau on. 1 do not want to imply IJuu there are not some su·
perb people teadu.ng there. Re-
counung lh~ panicular expen
ences.l remain impressed by their
absurdity . 1 can value them as uni
versal allegories for the more
frightening tendencies that we all
share. The only consistent differ
ence between my Mannon friends
and my non-Monnon friends is their
background . If I have sounded
smug, then it is ooly out of fear that
this type of stupidity and fear is not
completely behind me. that it is
alive and well. in variou.'i form.-.
everywhere. even tucked away on
our O'wlt'l\ arboreal campus.
Tenure concerns raised
To mE EDITOR:
We would l.ilce lO inVlte the
Lewis and Clade community to Ill
tend a meeting coooeming Tenure
dcci...sions here at the college. The
meeting will be informational as
well as action oriented. So fmd us
in Templeton College Center
Tuesday 111 3 p.m.
Now ts the time to make a dif.
fcrence at LC. Every 10 years the
tenure policy comes up for review
at the school. The docwnent that
we are cunentJy using was wriuen
in 1979 and is in need of serious
revision. Due to the new adminis-tr.ltion thtscumnlrovi-.ion is a little
late. And the window of opponu
nity is closing.
What is tenure you may ask?
Although the Log has had e:uraor
di.narily good coverage of the ten
ure issue for the past. year, some of
you still may not know. Tenure is a
status granted lO a professor assur
ing permanency of her/his position.
Tenure de4:isaons are to ba.wd on
quahty of teaching. quahty and
quantity of publicauons and the
amount of work the professor 1\as
done for the LC community.
Tbr goals of Students Con-cerned A bow Tenure (SCAT) in
clude assi.-;ting professors currently
undergoing the tenure review pro
cess and helping to rewri~ a new
tenure documcnL The new docu
ment will include more student in
put into the tenure decision and a
faculry review board that is not
completely appointed by the ad
ministration.
We encourage all int.crcstcd
faculty members and ·tudcnts 1.0
auend our next meeting Tuesday at

We can educate our-elves and
find the resourc.es that can show us
how we can help. The Altcmulive
Break Coalition is a program which
can educate studentS that there is a

productive and constructive. They
can actively pa.n.icipatc in learning
how they can help others.
The Alternative Break Coali
tion was SWted by Kent Koth
through a grant from the New En

Westborough, Mass=..chuscus. The
grant enable: recent college
graduates to coordinate their own
public service projea.
The program is geared toward
providing college students with the
opponunity to learn about urban
povcny and parucip::ue as volun·
lCC:r$to sociaJ service organ11.ations
in the North Ponland area. The
gooJs of the program are for the

Johanson said that through the

Her name is Shawn, and she is 23.
It's just lake everybody always says,

only offered to professors. Sw

reason. I can only assume. bemg the
dangerous nature of the lectures).
Administrators feared that the En

treated the lectures as tf they were

Eagleton htmself. who teaches
at Wnacre College at Oxford. was
bewildered as to why BYU had
mvtted hun there at all, but. as he
admitted. he "could use the money."
When Eagleton opened up the lec
ture for questions. the professors
revealed how litt.le of an under
standing they had for this clearly
unchristian theorist, who had car

of society as ''family. mamagc and

Tenure concerns raised
To mE EDITOR:
We would l.ilce lO inVlte the
Lewis and Clade community to Ill
tend a meeting coooeming Tenure
dcci...sions here at the college. The
meeting will be informational as
well as action oriented. So fmd us
in Templeton College Center
Tuesday 111 3 p.m.
Now ts the time to make a dif.
fcrence at LC. Every 10 years the
tenure policy comes up for review
at the school. The docwnent that
we are cunentJy using was wriuen
in 1979 and is in need of serious
revision. Due to the new adminis-tr.ltion thtscumnlrovi-.ion is a little
late. And the window of opponu
nity is closing.
What is tenure you may ask?
Although the Log has had e:uraor
di.narily good coverage of the ten
ure issue for the past. year, some of
you still may not know. Tenure is a
status granted lO a professor assur
ing permanency of her/his position.
Tenure de4:isaons are to ba.wd on
quahty of teaching. quahty and
quantity of publicauons and the
amount of work the professor 1\as
done for the LC community.

Alternative Break Coalition offers program
If) ToRJ 01XO '
Here at Lc~is and Clarl: it is
eM) to booome caught up in our

Tm.~ a wall over •n North
Ponllilld or NOrtheast Som c people
are worried about where; they 3TC
gomg to sleep lh3t nighL We then
sit over hele in the hills ol Portland
and are angry and sad about the
problems that plague our society.
We can t.alk to our friend~ over
dinner about "'hal !ihoold be done
and the evils of our C'..tpitali t ~i
cty. We can feel bad all we wam
about the problems that olhcrpcoplc
lace in soc ie1y. but nothing is going
to get accomplished l.hrough sim
ply feeling bad. We've got to do
somcthang to get sometlung done.
We can educate our-elves and
find the resourc.es that can show us
how we can help. The Altcmulive
Break Coalition is a program which
can educate studentS that there is a
.. vay in which they can do50mething
productive and constructive. They
can actively pa.n.icipatc in learning
how they can help others.
The Alternative Break Coali
tion was SWted by Kent Koth
through a grant from the New En
gland ElecLtic Company in
Westborough, Mass=..chuscus. The
grant enable: recent college
graduates to coordinate their own
public service projea.
The program is geared toward
providing college students with the
opponunity to learn about urban
povcny and parucip::ue as volun·
lCC:r$to sociaJ service organ11.ations
in the North Ponland area. The
gooJs of the program are for the
tudc.nLS to explore their commit
ment lO helping those in need, re.
eA.amine stereotypes about urban
povcn y and social service, and ad.:tpt
a beua unde~tand.ing of the issues
PACF.lO concerning the urban poor
Last Thanl.-;g"•ing, 10 LC stu

organi1.auons in Pon..land who dis
cu.~sed povctty·relatcd •~sues. Stu
dent. who participated m the
Thank. giving Alternative Brenk
included Kristen Johanson. Jenny
Brown, :~nd Todd Smith.
Johanson udvised people who
arc thinking about panictJ'XlUng in
the program to hold back ~me of
yourself but al~ to reach out and
learn. "l don't want to be seen as a
white woman coming to save the
world.'' Joh.arr\on ~id .. 1 try to
tum off my cmouons and thank
analyucally about the suualton
later " Johanson also tndicutcd t.hnt
they nxeived much more than they
gave.
"It is not as much an opponu
nity to help people as uas an educa
tional expcnence. "she conunued.
"We learned a lot from people we
met."
Johanson said that through the
progrum she learned about ~ten:o
typc.s that \he never knew she had.
Slowly these \tereotype.s began to
break down a~ :.peake~ educated
the group about ~uch topics as
prostitution and homelcs.~ess.
"L.c.aming about social pro~
lcm'i I\ mcomplete without le.am
ang about them firsthand," Brown
said. ''You can't change the world
by going to o Grateful Dead con
cen. Saart locally. Do somethang
matcrwl."
··college students need to take
responsibility for social change"
Smith said. 'There's no excuse for
a~thy.'' Smil.h uho insistcd t..l1at if
you want to help the re.sour~ are
out there and they arc not hard to fmd.
Scott Hamilton. assiStant co
ordanator of the program, was en
couraged by the re.lCUons of the
students comang back from the
program. ''People who partacapated
aren'tjustgomg back to school and
forgeumg (what they learnedJ,"
Hamilton said "Students have or
gamzcd tnps down to Operauon
Nightwatch (one of the orgruuz.a
tions involved wtth the program),
and arc volunteering at homclc~
shelte.N.··
Students also destred to have
LC form n communaty servacc
program of tiS own. "I thank the
school ndmm•strnuon should thank
about organizmgaprogmm,"Smath
said .. It would help the unage or
the school and communny. There
are a lot of people here that are
concerned, but the school doesn't
show that as a whole."
"Community work shouJd be a
requirement," Brown said. "If ev
eryone donated one hour of volun
teertimc then all the:iOCaal programs
would be full."
