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 90.9 FM, Bend 91.3 FM, and Corvallis 550 AM, with translators serving twelve other areas o f Oregon.

EASTER SEALS'91 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.

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.
