Deutsch: War Common Peace Phenomenon Hy THOMPSON Kim-ruld SUIT Writer With "War In common: peace is the phenomenon” in the history of mankind. Steven Deutsch open ed the first World Without War seminar Wednesday. The purpose of the seminar se ries is to offer a solution to what the individual can do to promote peace. Deutsch. associate professor of sociology. went on to quote an Englishman's definition of war— "to change your enemy’s mind.” The means man has used throughout history to do this has been to show himself capable of more destruction than his poten tiai enemy, and the race for su perlor weapons was on. Today, man has reached the point John F. Kennedy was talk j ing about when he said, “In the I twentieth century, either civiliza tion will put an end to war, or war will put an end to civiliza tion." Nationalism to Blame Nationalism is mostly to blame for this situation, said Deutsch. j Socialization teaches men with in a given culture to have a "com mon way of looking at the world," j but each culture has a different view. Nationalism prevents people j from uniting as people: it unnat uraliy divides homo sapiens into; different groups who often end i up suspicious of other groups merely because they have differ-! ent cultures. This is carried to the point of j dangerously false biases and stereotyped images, Deutsch con-! tinned. He used the example of j the researcher who snowed a picture of a pleasant looking rural j area to school children in theI U.S. and in the U.S.S.K The first j time he showed the picture to the ! U.S. children, he told them it wasi a picture of the U.S., and asked 1 them to tell him what they saw. They saw a "beautifur land scape. Some time later he show ed the same picture to the same; US children but this time told them it was a picture of the So viet Union. This time the chil dren "saw" cleverly camouflaged missile sites and concentration camps. The same (hint; occurred when Russian children saw the pictures. Powerful Bond "Defense has always been the most powerful bond in preserving unity War solidifies society War is a major, efficient way to pro mote the economy. The U.S. spends ff3.7 per cent of its entire budget for military and military related purposes," Deutsch said. In 1002. 120 underground si los for missiles were built at a cost of $40 million each. Today they are obsolete, some are be ing used for garbage dumps. The B-58 bomber costs $507 per pound. F’urc gold costs $500 per pound. One battleship costs over twice as much as is spent on all med ical research in the U.S. in one year. Can’t Stop In spite of the huge spending, it can't stop. One out of 11 jobs in the U.S. is directly related to military production. When mili tary operations were cut back re cently in the San Diego area, it caused a depression in that area. The whole thing has become "per petual," or according to Deutsch’s Law, "Expenditure and built-up structure requires expenditure and built-up structure.” So what’s another way to main tain economic stability without war? "Common markets, mutual Greek Focus Presents Diversified Program "It’s a varied and interesting, program,” says Mark Dennett. "It will involve independents, faculty and community, as well j as the Greeks.” It is Greek Focus, February 27 through March 4, a week of; speakers, panels, movies and en tertainment, jointly sponsored by j the campus Inter-fraternity Coun-! cil and Panhellenic. Mark Dennett is general co-chairman, along with Sylve Hanson. Each day Greek Focus will “fo cus” on a different topic, varying from the community, the student and the University to politics, en tertainment, and sports. Experts in each field will appear daily. Teacher Gets Bronze Star James A. Zumbrunner, associ ate professor of military science at the University, recently receiv ed the Bronze Star for meritorious service in Viet Nam. Zumbrunner, who holds the rank of captain in the infantry, was transferred to his position at the University following his tour of duty in Viet Nam. Embert A. Fossum, professor of military science at the Univer sity, made the presentation. He was awarded the medal for “. . . materially contributing to the efforts of the United States mission to the Republic of Viet Nam to assist that country in rid ding itself of the Communist threat to its freedom.” It was further noted that "His initiative, zeal, sound judgment and devotion to duty have been in the highest tradition of the United States Army, and reflect great credit on him and on the military service.” Want to really get results?— Use Emerald Classified Ads— Phone 342-1411, Ext. 1818. In the planning stages since last October, Greek Focus has develop ed into a major campus event, according to Dennett. Controver sial political figures, interesting personalities in the fields of sports, entertainment and gov ernment and University experts will highlight the week. A publication is being prepar ed containing a schedule of the week's events and will appear in February. A speaker’s forum will also appear on the editorial page of the Emerald during each day of Greek Focus. Campus fraternities and sor orities will be engaged in all sorts of projects, ranging from wake up breakfasts, to exchanges and service drives. Each house will also invite their national officers, who, while visiting their local chapters, will also have a chance to meet with officers of different houses in an idea-exchange seminar. Another feature of the week is an hour long television show produced for Greek Focus by Pri vate Lane Three. baekscratehing—working togcth f er,” answers DeuUch. "People working together economically is ; the only way to drop the na tional identities.” There’s another big problem be sides economics. International re- j latlons are cssenitally power re j lations, and man has always re-1 lied on threats of war for power ] relations. Mow can power rela tions he dealt with if war is elim-1 inated? Deutsch suggests using the fam ily as a model code of ethics mutually worked out with the following premises: everybody wins; everybody is willing to bar gain, give and take; and every body is willing to take certain kinds of risks.
