LSA senior Marcus Koenen is a member of the Ann Arbor Zen Buddhist temple, located on Packard road. He joined six months ago, after taking a beginner's meditation course. Meditation is the central practice of Zen. Koenen is attracted to the practical, earthy nature of the religion. "I take what I learn at the Temple and try to bring it to my everyday V life," Koenen said. "That's really what Buddhism is - certainly with Zen- taking it to the world." "Buddha learned that you must take what you do at the temple and incorporate it into your life." Sukha Linda Murray, dharma teacher at the temple, stressed Buddha's mortality. "Buddha was a human being who perfected himself," Sukha said. "He was not a god and we bow to his accomplishments and strive to improve ourselves." "I practice Buddhism to help me gain peace with the environment," Koenen said.

The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) take a more active stance towards bettering the environment. "We have a strong background in peace and social issues," Meeting Worker Lonnie Harvey said. Many Quakers have joined after leaving other religions. The Society holds silent worship meetings where people speak when they are moved to do so and there is no minister leading or dictating the service.. "Quite a few people are from other religions and it can be difficult to get used to Friends meeting but the lack of hierarchy appeals to a lot of people," Harvey said. Whether representatives of mainstream or alternative faiths, many religious leaders feel that their voice has been lost in a pattern of University decision-making that fails to address ethical issues. "We try to continually probe and make sure that ethical questions are raised at the University. There's a tendency for them not to (come up)," Peacock said. Last spring more than 75 religious leaders from throughout the state formed a coalition to petition the Regents to extend the ban on classified research, and denouncing See COVER STORY, Page 17 W 1W m sicbum.

Let's just hope it's in the mainstream. . -Michael Fischer Aztec Camera Love Sire Records It's been four years since the pre- cocious 19 year-old singer/songwriter Roddy Frame and his band Aztec Camera released their stunning debut LP High Land, Hard Rain, and three years since the equally great LP Knife.. From the sound of their lat- est effor, Love, Aztec Camera (or Roddy Frame, who is for all intents and purposes the group) have been spending the last three years since Knife fiddling with synthesizers and auditioning female back-up singers. It probably took them three years to program the Fairlight keyboard for this album. Love is a truly dissapointing al- ocasionally for a brief solo. Most of the time his guitar sounds like an imitation of George Benson - not quite what you would expect. It's really sad to hear a song like "One and One" on an Aztec Camera LP - a song which sounds like the next song from Debbi Gibson or Tiffany. Actually, the first side isn't that bad. Although it's really slick, some of the songs are very likeable. The first single, "Deep, Wide, and Tall" has a great slow, flowing chorus which is sweet but not too sacharine. "How Men Are" is the best slow song, and "Somewhere in My Heart" is the album's winner, an instantly appealing song probably because it sounds like it belongs on Knife rather than Love. Lyrically, the album is as good as any previous Aztec Camera albums. Here, as before, Frame sings about - what else - love. Frame stills shows an ability for writing poignant lyrics about finding and losing love. So, there are a couple decent tunes mixed with some real losers. Aztec Camera should have just released an EP and given the other tunes to Boy George. Oh yeah, the album cover sucks, too. -Fred Leighton L J sausage .
