OPB Radio Network To Air ’’World Of Islam" Series
With Introductions By Peter Jennings
Because o f the crisis in the Persian G ulf, global interest in Islamic culture
and history is being aroused, creating a need for public education about this region
o f the world.
Beginning in M arch, O regon Public Broadcasting radio will air N P R ’s
"The World o f Islam," an aw ard-w inning 13-week exploration o f the history,
culture, and future o f Islam.
A BC-TV News anchor Peter Jennings introduces each o f the series’ half-
hour presentations, offering listeners a fascinating glim pse o f the social, political,
cultural, and religious forces that drive the Islamic world.
The series, produced jointly by British journalist Julian Crandall Ilollick,
also the series narrator, and W B U R -FM /B oston, airs on N PR nationwide. (O PB
Radio Network will carry the series W ednesdays during The Noon Report
beginning March 20th.)
Jennings’s introductions to each piece address recent developm ents in the
Islamic world. Beginning with the teachings o f Islam and what it means to be a
Muslim in m odem society, the series exam ines the huge influx o f Muslim
immigrants to the United States, the status and role of women in Muslim societies,
and the current resurgence o f Islam throughout the world.
In the weeks to com e here are a few of the subjects that will be discussed.
“ Islam in America: The Im m igrant E xperience” - Muslim immigrants to
the United States discuss the problem s and the advantages of starting new lives in
this country.
“ Black Islam ” - This exploration of the growth in Islam among African-
Americans features Black M uslims discussing divisions within the movement
between two rivals groups - the Nation o f Islam and the American Muslim Mission.
"W om en and Family in M uslim Societies” - Muslim women and men
talk about the teaching of Islam as it relates to w om en, their rights, and the
influence o f traditional patriarchal values on their lives.
“ W hither Islam: The Future o f Islam ” - Interviews with M uslims of
several nationalities reveal the strength of Islamic values and institutions in their
countries and their relevance to the 21st century.
Stations o f the O PB Radio Network are: Portland 91.5 FM. Pendleton

The power to overcome.
5 th A n n u a l
RELIGION
As Oregon pies to cope with popu
lation growth, pressure is building to
develop unused land. But private land-
ow ners are being thwarted by state land
use and planning laws. Environm ental
ists applaud O regon’s conservative
approach to land management. A fter
all, they argue, it’s im possible to re
claim land once it’s been developed.
But frustrated landowners believe they
should have more options, and more
control, over their property. The battle
lines are drawn over how to use O re
gon’s land, and who should decide.
The idea behind existing land use
guidelines is to prevent productive farm
and forest land from being elim inated.
B ut some “ secondary ’ ’ lands zoned for
farming are less suitable for that use,
and their owners w ant the freedom to
use the land for other purposes. They
say governm ent regulations, by lim it
ing their choice, have robbed them of
Vue “ ow nership” o f their land. M ean
while, environm entalists and land use
planners fear unrestricted developm ent
could forever elim inate scarce and
valuable farm and forests lands. Strik-
ing a balance betw een developm ent
and preservation has not been easy.
Almost everyone agrees O regon’s land
use planning system could be improved.
But does the system need a m ajor over
haul or merely fine-tuning? T hat ques
tion is now before the legislature, and
the future o f O regon’s landscape d e
pends on decisions they’ll make. Which
should receive higher priority: devel
oping land to m eet grow th, or preserv
ing land to retain quality o f life? Should
land use and planning decisions be under
state or local control? D o private c iti
zens have the right to use their land as
they choose? O r is there an overriding
public interest that justifies govern
ment-im posed lim its? W hat do YOU
think? Join Fack Faust and his guests
for this timely debate on Sunday, March
24th from 6-7p.m. For seatreservatons,
please call Frank M ungeam , Alison
H ighberger or Liza M cQ uade at 231-
4620. Guests should arrive at KATU
studios (21st & NE Sandy Blvd) be
tween 5:00-5:15 p.m. The public is
welcome, but reservations are required.

fected by the passing o f M easure 5. The
young people who w ere bom in Port
land and w ent to school here did not
receive the rich experience o f the Black
Culture like those who cam e here in the
early forties and late thirties.
Several well-know n personalities
received recognition, such as: Mary
M cLeod Bethune, M alcom X, Maggie
L. W alker, and others. Mr. Ford and
Mrs. Stone were recongnized as being
the first Black T eachers in the city o f
Portland, O regon. All o f these persons
helped to pave the w ay for future gen
erations.
The program was riddled w ith the
singing of old N egro Spirituals which
served as a firm anchoring.
