Congregation Beth Israel to Host “I Have A Dream”
Scholarship Program Creator
Eugene Lang, who created the “ I Have a Dream ” scholarship program in a sixth-grade graduation
speech in Harlem, will be the 1990 Cohn Lecturer at Temple Beth Israel, Friday, April 20. Lang will
discuss his experiences, and how to set up a similar program in Portland, in the Daniel J. and Elizabeth
O. Cohn Lecture at 8:30 p.m. in the Blumauer Auditorium.
Lang, an international high-tech entrepreneuer and philanthropist, has said that he began the program
after looking at his audience and realizing that nothing he had planned to say would matter much. In­
stead, he pledged the graduates that if they continued in school and received their high school diplomas,
he would provide their college tuition. He also set up mentoring and tutoring programs to help the class
through junior high and high school, a step which he has called far more important than providing the
tuition.
The program has received wide media attention and has been copied in many cities. In Portland, Lang
will be meeting with various community leaders to share his experiences and discuss the potential for
a similar program in Portland.
Mr. Lang will be available for personal interviews by appointment April 20, 10:00 a.m .-l 1:30 a.m.

IT MATTERS NOT
OBITUARY
Do not remind me, gentle friend,
"I shall not pass this way again,"
It matters not to me today,
Wholoved each step along the way.
Thank God I have not been deprived
Of windy hills when Spring arrived.
Nor missed the Summer twilight when
The stars lit up the night again.

The sweetest moments I recall.
Were down a golden lane in Fall,
The dearest face I'll ever know,
Looked down at me through Winter
snow.
A heart wherein such things remain.
Cares not to pass this way again.

W ashington-Just one day after a group
o f United M ethodist bishops and other
church leaders met here April 4 with a
top official from the office o f U.S. drug
czar W illiam Bennett, Bush adm ini­
stration officials declared the war on
drugs in the nation’s capital a failure.
But at his W hite House meeting with
United M ethodist church leaders, Jose
O. M arquez o f the O ffice o f National
Drug Control Policy had been more op­
tim istic in his assessm ent o f the na­
tional drug p o licy’s first year: “ We
still have a serious problem (with illicit
drug use), but we are headed in the right
direction.”
Two w eeks prior, Mr. M arquez and
Reggie B. W alton o f the O ffice of
National Drug Control Policy m et with
Bishop Felton E. May, who heads the
denom ination’s first drug initiative;
Bishop Jack Tuell, Los Angeles, presi­
dent o f the council; and retired Bishop
Leontine T.C. Kelly of San Mateo, Calif.

o f the scope o f the drug problem , but it
is im portant,” Bishop G rove told Mr.
Marquez.
W hen the visiting church leaders
learned of reports o f the Bush admini­
stration’s admission o f failure in the
W ashington drug effort, m any said they
were not surprised.
Despite governm ent efforts to make
the nation’s capital a “ test case” dur­
ing the first year o f the strategy, policy
say drugs are still plentiful and cheap
and drug-related deaths have not de­
clined in the city that has gained the
title “ murder capital.”

T. Johnson, pastor o f Hanson Place
Central United M ethodist Church; and
the Rev. Ruthenia Finley and the Rev.
W ilson T. Boots, staff members o f the
denomination’s New York Annual Con­
ference.
Several o f the bishops and leaders
said the 35 minute-m eeting with Mr.
Marquez revealed few insights or suc­
cesses o f the highly publicized national
drug strategy, but said he did not con­
firm somewhat the need for a com pre­
hensive and community-based approach
to fighting drugs, like the one created
by the council.
A fter justifying the Bush adm ini­
stration’s $12 million allocation for drug
interdiction and prison construction, to
the first year o f the program in the
W ashington area alone, Mr, Marquez
said, “ W hat really works ( is ) . . . local
ow nership o f the drug problem, com ­
munity program s.”
W hen Bishops Hearn and Matthews
questioned availability of federal fund­
ing for such program s, Mr. Marquez
said the “ reality is that such local pro­
gram s will have to be self-sufficient.”
Bishop M atthews urged Mr. M ar­
quez not to overlook the 8.9 million-

system ’s potential value to the anti­
