    If you're going for the impossible why not shoot a little higher and try to get the premarital sex ban thrown out of the HC.

      You throw that out and we might as well kiss good by church growth.

      Our youth are encouraged to get married and have children. Any society needs to replace those that pass with the new. Hopefully more new than are passing away.

      If premarital sex were allowed at BYU the incentive to get married amongst members attending BYU would go down significantly hurt the church.

          From the photos it appears that it took place by the Brigham statue next to the ASB.

            does the checkerboard quad even exist anymore?? what do they call that area just outside the bookstore as you are headed to the library? They used to have some soapbox thing there where people cold stand up and yell stuff.

                    Sounds interesting, especially at BYU. What were some common things to hear from the soapbox?

                    "Oh that I were an angel. . ."

                    "Oh Captain, my captain!"

                    "No unhallowed hand. . . "

                      No way. It was Voice's personal bully pulpit.

                          BYU needs to be careful here. If they allow men to have beards the next thing you know they will allow shorts above the knee and women to express their opinions. Be strong BYU and start checking the receipts of everyone exiting the bookstore.

                            The quad is still there. According to Google Maps, it is called "Brigham Square" (BS for short). But it was the site of the caffeine protest which was quickly squelched almost exactly 2 years ago.

                                And she may have a beard to go with it when some mischievous BYU students decide to have fun with Photoshop.....
