Kudos to Adam Jardine for last week’s [letter to the editor]. Coming to a Church school I would think the status quo would change in the direction opposite of the world.
In a recent religion class I came across a quote from President Benson that clearly stated that married couples were to put having children above all, even education and career. President Kimball even added to the subject years earlier in his book The Miracle of Forgiveness by saying that some young couples who postpone starting a family would be surprised to find their opinion being labeled idolatry.
I scratch my head at this and wonder why so many married couples at BYU-Idaho have chosen to postpone starting a family when our prophets have clearly spoken against it. I pose the question to all of the married students as to why go against the counsel of the Lord. Certainly it wouldn’t be for the above reasons, or would it?

Last weekend I traveled from Salt Lake City with my brother to see The Spitfire Grill presented by the BYU-Idaho Theatre Department. I would like to thank the cast and crew for an unforgettable evening.
The musical was beautifully presented and dealt with redemption and forgiveness in a tender manner. I am continually impressed at the high caliber performances given by the Theatre Department. From the delightful actors, dedicated musicians and hard-working technicians, the production was flawless.
It is refreshing to see a gospel perspective intertwined with the show. Thank you again for an outstanding performance and a touching evening.

I have decided that the best option for the “Buy and Sell” feature is to sell. In the [last week’s issue] of Scroll, [assistant adviser] Stephanie Long “sold” Rush Limbaugh for what he reportedly said about a series of political ads that Michael J. Fox has appeared in.
I would like to know from where she got her information and if she bothered to listen
to what Limbaugh actually said.
I happened to listen to the program in question and unfortunately, most media outlets misrepresented him and took what he said out
of context.
In the future, try to get both sides of the issue; reporting isn’t just turning on CNN and writing what you heard.
And as a final note it would seem more credible if the writer didn’t attack Limbaugh for personal problems with substance abuse.
This seems to me very contradictory to the message she was trying to send.
