This is the third in a weekly series of articles on road trips within reasonable reach of the University. A Drinking Song Wine comes in at the mouth And love comes in at the eye; That's all we shall know for truth Before we grow old and die.

Race Line The voice of the Reverend Al Sharpton came over the University's phone lines Friday with an unexpected question: is race really an issue of concern at the University? Though "The Reverend" was actually Ryan Coleman-Ferebee, director of communications for Brothers United Celebrating Knowledge and Success, his inquiry was met with a resounding yes from the audience at Reflection on Complexion, an open forum for race discussions sponsored by B.U.C.K.S. The event, which marked the culmination of B.U.C.K.S's outreach week, was held in Old Cabell Hall with about 400 people in attendance. A student-created short film opened the event and introduced the format of the discussion: Race Line, which parodied the popular call-in advice show "Love Line." Questions concerned the relevance of the diversity issue on college campuses, affirmative action and non-native English speakers serving on juries. While some panelists were opposed to using race as a factor in admissions, most were in favor of some form of affirmative action. There was more contention over the issue of U.S.

Personal issues Wednesday marks the Mosaic House spring forum, which will concentrate on religious issues throughout the University. "We want to take this kind of taboo subject away from closed-mindedness and to make people feel more comfortable talking about it," said Tracy D'Souza, second-year College student and forum planner. Panelists will include members from groups such as Inter-Varsity Christians and Hillel, as well as individuals holding atheistic and Catholic beliefs. "We wanted to focus on when you come to the University ... how practicing religion changes if it does change," she said. The forum will take place in Maury Auditorium at 7:00 p.m.
