| 24 people arrested at BYU PROVO - Brigham Young University police arrested 24 people, among them five current students, who participated Tuesday in a march and demonstration by a national gay-awareness group. Jason Olson, Deseret Morning NewsProtesters carry lilies to represent LDS gays or lesbians who have committed suicide. At the event, the group marched around the edge of campus and then staged a "die-in" on campus property near the university's main entrance, just past one of the university's icons - the sign "Enter to Learn, Go Forth to Serve." "I'm not advocating a gay lifestyle," said one of the arrested students, Lauren Jackson, a freshman from Baxter, Tenn. "I've known people who have come out to me and who have struggled within the church. An anti-Christ-like attitude exists among many church members." The students could face disciplinary action under BYU's Honor Code if university officials judge the march, organized by the group Soulforce, as advocacy of a gay lifestyle, which is contrary to the teachings of BYU's owner, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Jackson and her boyfriend, Alex Liberato, sought advice before the march from BYU Police Chief Larry Stott and the associate dean of student life, Jonathan Kau. Stott told the students before the march that if arrested, they would be banned from campus for 72 hours, but he lifted the ban for three students at 10 p.m. Tuesday and said he'd meet with the other two early this morning to consider a similar action... https://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,635199006,00.html |

BYU RETURNING STUDENTS TO JERUSALEM CENTER
See https://www.deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,640185882,00.html
PROVO, Utah - Brigham Young University announced Friday that students will return this fall to the school's Jerusalem Center for the first time since 2000. The decision to hold fall semester classes at the center, located in east Jerusalem on the Mount of Olives, was made after consulting with government leaders and leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which operates BYU.

The students of any college have to abide by the policies of the school. Since the Church owns the school, then the students have to adhere to the policies of the church, also. The BYU police are also Church "owned" and are following the policies of the school. It's justified based on those facts.
Do I think it's right? Not necessarily. We do, after all, live in a free country. The students should have a right to express their views by peaceful demonstration, as elsewhere in the United States. But the fact that the campus is private property dictates what behavior is acceptable and what isn't.

I understand the spirit of adventure that each one of us have within ourselves, but climb the Andes without a guide or enough experience? What a tragedy.
BYU Student, 2 Others Killed While Hiking In Andes
| QUOTE |
| LIMA, Peru A Peruvian rescue team has found the bodies of three young American mountaineers, including a student from Brigham Young University, killed during an icy climb high in the Andes mountains, authorities said Monday. A 15-member team located Kristen Yoder, 21, her brother Dustin Yoder, 23, and Brennan Larson, 24, of Vacaville, Calif., on Sunday afternoon in a 100-foot-deep crevasse on the Artesonraju peak, said police Maj. Edmundo Vidal, of the High Mountain Rescue Unit. The bodies were being evacuated Monday in a long descent down the mountain that was expected to last into the night, Vidal told The Associated Press by telephone from the squad's headquarters in Yungay, about 200 miles north of the capital, Lima. The three climbers went missing last week about 2,000 feet from the 19,682-foot summit of the glacier-covered mountain in the Cordillera Blanca range. Authorities said the three climbers were on a fairly treacherous route without a guide. |

BYU PRESIDENT PRAISES THE HONOR CODE
See https://www.deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,645201061,00.html
PROVO, Utah - Cecil O. Samuelson, president of Brigham Young University, endorsed the school's honor code "without reservation" Tuesday during his annual welcoming devotional at the start of a new school year. "Make no mistake, who we are in private and what we value most at our core are of supreme importance and are 'weightier matters,' " he said. "However, it is also true that what we project externally should reflect who we really are."
