OSU professor claims Economy caused imperialism By DON MACK Of The Emerald Explaining American expan sion as a result of economic fac tors, William Williams, profes sor of history at Oregon State University, told a University audience of 100 on Jan. 24 that the American farmer of the late 19th Century was “acting as an economic imperialist.” Williams argued that “T h e Roots of American Imperialism,” the topic of his lecture, appear ed in the post-Civil War era when the nation’s majority, commercial farmers, sought an outlet for their surplus commo dity and found it in the ex pansion of the foreign market.

The tremendous increase of American exports following the nation’s depression, “literally shook Europe,” Williams said. Williams claims the expan sion of the export system, not American industrialization, “scared the rest of the world.” American farmers, according to Williams, were determined to break the British ' control of world economy. He said the agricultural majority was con vinced that if silver was remone tized, America could “destroy British supremacy and replace it with American economic su premacy.” When the nation’s leaders, who Williams called “the metro politan elite,” realized the success of the American agri cultural export market, they saw it as a “system,” according to Wililams and “began to trans fer the agricuture experience to the industrial, metropolitan sec tor.” Theologian says God is real By LINDA CREASEY Of the Emerald What are the grounds for be lieving in God? John Hick, phi losopher and theologian, consid ered this question Thursday, Jan. 23, in the concluding lec ture of a three-day series. Since the end of the Middle Ages, Hick said, there have been many arguments offered for be lief in God. A conclusion drawn from these arguments is that God Ski Rentals - STEP-IN BINDINGS - ALL HEAD SKIS - REIKER BOOTS - SKI RACKS Berg's Nordic Ski Shop 13th & Lawrence 11th & Mill 343-0014 343-0013 exists or is real. This concurs with those who demonstrate the reality of God or show that this is a probable conclusion. Those outside the realm of faith are trying to build a bridge of ra tionality to others who don't be lieve in God, Hick said, speak ing to about 125 people in the EMU ballroom. One area of data available to those who believe in God is re ligious experience. Since the nonreligious man doesn’t have this data of religious experience available to him, he finds belief in God irrational, said Hick. Religious experience is an awareness of a different world; it is a different way of looking at this world. It is possible to study this in men of strong faith such as Jesus of Nazareth, Paul and prophets of the Old Testa ment. Their religious experi ences made it natural for them to live in divine presence in this external world. Faith was a per sonal reality to them- Hick said.
