Strange things are afoot at the BYU...
In the daily universe this morning, a front page article discussed the termination of employment for one of the employees of BYUSA, who had written a letter to the editor critical of the requirements for candidates running for position. Also included in the DU was an article fortelling the coming of "Soulforce," a gay and lesbian rights activist group targeting BYU for their overly-strict anti-gay policies. Who'd have thought the Universe would have brought those to light? Interesting.
Soulforce is having a rally on April 10th at Kiwanis Park (a monday night, by the way). My plan is to pass around fliers advertising a "ward FHE," 7:30 at Kiwanis Park, the same night.

Good old Kiwana's park. In my day that place was Provo's beach. It was where all the co-eds went to tan in their bikinis without the fear of being sent to the honor code office. It was also where all the guys went to support them in that decision.

How long is the arm of the Honor Code?

Oh, yeah. Honor code is expected to be in effect 24/7. They don't do anything to enforce it off campus, of course, but it is expected.

I like the idea of an Honor Code, but it sure seems that it is too inconsistent when punishments are handed out. Too much letter of the law and too little spirit of the law.

woe be unto you if you are busted for an honor code violation.
esp. the ones that a lot of people break. Like being out of apts. by midnight (of the opposite sex). woe, because you are one of the unlucky few. |
