By Lynn Ritzman On Nov. 9 at noon approximately 50 students marched from the USF Law School through main campus protesting the University's ban on a table to disseminate pro-choice literature on the main campus. a%mmmWT'awmW^''wW- • * «» The controversy began last spring when students from the Women Law Students' Association fWOCHILD (WLSA) set up a table in Harney Plaza for the purposes of soliciting signatures for a pro-choice f^QfAtlltV petition, and handing out pro-choice literature. Within a short period of time, the group was asked to remove the table as Carmen Jordan-Cox, vice president of Student Development, said their cause is "incongruent with the teachings of the Catholic Church." ^^•fr r war5 On Oct. 2, the WLSA and their legal counsel met with University officials to discuss the issues of students' rights and freedom of speech on the main campus. At that time, Fr. Bob Curran, SJ., an nounced that the University "will continue with its present policy [regarding jurisdictional authority over University facilities]." The march last Thursday by Students ForChoice, a splinter group of the WLSA, was organized by Alesia Jones of the Law School. "Wedecidedwehadtogetmoremilitantwithour expression and dissatisfaction," said Jones. "The administration is in denial of what percentage of the student body is pro-choice. We want to teJJ students that-we are pro-choice and they can be comfortable being pro-choice." The group marched though lower campus yell ing, "What do we want? Free speech!

There is a major question on campus right now. Should a group whose cause is incongruent with the teaching of the Catholic Church be allowed to petition on the USF campus? The Woman's Law Student Association has been denied a table. We believe that all groups should be allowed access to the university campus. Why should a Catholic university allow students a structured environment on campus through which they can petition causes which directly oppose the teachings, thc moral basis, upon which our university stands? It should be allowed because we are a University. We are here to learn. Yes, about the Church, yes, about what the Church believes. But that is only the beginning of our education. We must then be able to put our beliefs to test; we must learn why we believe what we do. Thc only way to do this to hear all sides of an issue. Exposing university age students to "the truth," even if it is believed to be right, even if it is known to be right...what will happen? Maybe the university will be successful and that person will accept the truth which the church teaches. But what is to happen to that student when he leaves the boundaries of USF? Perhaps he has a view of how things should be, but he carries these ideas into an imperfect world. One where people will take him to task on his beliefs, one where he will not be taken seriously unless he can answer the questions, pose his argument, and de bate. He must have heard the whole argument, and made a conscious choice based on his education in and out of the classroom: this is how I shall live my life. Otherwise, our University has fulfilled only half of its goal. It has taught, but the student has not learned. How is a student to mold his or her beliefs? How are students to learn to co-exist in a world of opposition? How is a person to Life of a Sports Writer II open to students in any major and any college—and our constantly think?

BRUNO NORMAN SECRETS OF A PAST LIFE
Walking in a thick morning fog, along a forest trail, I could hear waves slapping upon the distant shore...it was a distinctive sound, for I have always heard a rumbling ocean rather than a gentle sea...following this sound. I made my way to the beach, and through the criss- crossing footprints in the sand I came closer to the water.. J knelt down and placed my hand in the cold ancient sea... the Adriatic Sea...
Ravenna, ITALY—Along the eastern coast of Italy, in the central region of Emila- Romagna, lies the sleepy city of Ravenna. Like many Italian cities, it is filled with historical artifacts, but the mosaics of Ravenna are what set it apart. The mosaics, which are made of stone, tile or glass, date back about 1400 years to when this innocent city was under the influence ofa strong Byzantine Empire. As the rest of Italy fell into thc Dark Ages, during the sixth and seventh centuries, Ravenna carried on trade and cultural relations with Constantinople, which is now Istanbul, Turkey. During this time, the early Christians, with a desire to represent the body of scriptures before them, rediscovered thc mosaics as a medium of communication. Taken from the Romans, who decorated their villas and pagan temples with mosaics, the Christians sought their artistic flavor as art and religion naturally blended together. However, one must keep in mind that these brilliant representations of faith are a key to understanding how Medieval Christianity was structured. Tracing back before Byzantinian limes, when the Eastern and Western Empires were in their last centuries of glory (third and fourth century B.C.), it is possible to see early Christianity as two sects: Arian and Orthodox. As these fueding religions developed, they were eventually separated by their different perceptions of Christ and the diverse empires that controlled them. Later, as Rome crumbled away, the Eastern empire, which had become the Byzantine Empire, retook Ravenna and established has even peeked into the three huge tombs resting there, traditionally the resting places Arianist Christianity here in the fifth century. of Galia Placida and two emperors. Like San Vitale, this mausoleum is vibrant with colorful mosaics within thearchitectual • •**» ." interplay of the cross-axis lunettes, which are semi-circle arches, and the deep vault facing the entrance. As the flood lights brighten the little room, there is an immediate explosion of brisUing golden stars, set in concentric circles, in a backdrop of liny blue liles. Looking throughout the vault, one sees a central golden cross with the figures ofthe four evangel ists, Mark's lion, Luke's ox, Mathew's man and John's eagle at the corners. They provide an interesting insight into the origins of Christian inconography as ihey replaced the an cient world's symbols, all 90 degrees apart from the Zodiac, of the lion, the bull the Aquarius and the questionable scorpion. Wandering around the streets of Ravenna one can sense, through its ancient relics, a city that has a story to be told. It is a tale of undeniable faith, through the symbols of tediously hand-crafted mosaics, and of a culture caught in the passage of history.
It was under Arianism that the first Christian mosaics were made by Greek artists for the court of Constantinople, and were later transformed into a form of Western Christian art. The religious perceptions of Christ, of the Arians and of the Alhenasians (Orthodox), can best be seen when comparing the mosaics ofthe two Latin-cross baptistries. The Orthodox baptistry depicts Christ as an absolute divinity, while the Arian mosaics show Him as a separate body next to God. In any case, one must try to imagine the original state of these ancient churches, mausoleums and baptistries flickering with hundreds of candles and illuminating their won derful mosaic scenes. This sense of mysticism can be captured in the church of San Vitale, as one drops a few coins in the light machines, and witnesses this ancient building come alive. These 1400 year old mosaics, which are one of the last great works of the ancient world, as well as one of Christianity's first.are set in a breathtaking design. Around the site ofthe main altar is a scene of deep blue skies and rich green meadows, highlighted with wonderfully colored birds and flowers. However, it is the architectural design of San Vitale with its intriguing mix of octagons, arches, gables and exedrae; all done in solid brick and in pure proportional geometry, that gives this old church a unique charm. Built by Eastern Christians, it has an octagonal exterior and a basilica interior for religious purposes. Twoarchitectual innovations, which cannot be Top:A 5th century tower of Ravenna; Middle: The overlooked, are the fifth century invention of trapezoidal capitals, that support the numerous mosaic floor design of San Vitale; Bottom: A 4th arches, and thc upper galleries built to separate the women from the men, that are typical of churches found in the East. Surprisingly, San Vitale has often been called not the last of the century tomb found in a recent excavation in Romaas but the first of the Romanesque. Ravenna. To reach back to the days of Romans, when Ravenna was a busding capital of the shrinking Western Empire, a quick look in the mausoleum of Galia Placida is necessary.
