Two BYU students started a dating club to help students pair up, according to the article, “Date club hopes to help dateless.”
“Dating club president Mark Sanderson, a senior majoring in history, said the ultimate aim of the club is to alleviate the awkwardness of dating and help people relax.” They began advertising for their club with the slogan, “Come scratch your itch to get hitched,” putting it on posters and selling T-shirts around campus.
Slogans not used were “Find a mate to procreate,” and “Satisfy your need to breed.” The university banned the T-shirt printed with the sentence, “I’m well endowed.”
In addition, the BYU police beat reported that “homosexually suggestive graffiti” was found in a men’s restroom in the Harold B. Lee Library between May 18 and 20.
Basketball semi-star Austin Ainge was outraged.
