It might well be the motto of the new Certification Program in Peace Studies at Oregon State University . The program, which was approved last week by the Oregon State Board of Higher Education, is the first of its kind in the state. It is part of a new wave of similar programs being established at col leges and universities across the nation. The cause of the new interest in peace studies, says Stan Shibely, chair of the peace studies advisory committee at OSl). "is the possibility of nuclear war as a major catastrophe now confronting mankind.” That was the same conclusion of 200 educators from across the country when they met in Washington. D.C. in 1982 to discuss "The Role of the Academy in Addressing the Issues of Nuclear War." Since that time about 150 schools nationwide have instituted peace studies programs. About half of those have been implemented in the past year. Other schools with peace studies programs are Harvard. Dartmouth. Cornell, and the Univer sity of California at Berkeley. Getting the program started at OSU was no easy task. Shibely says. It took three years to get it off the ground after a petition drive in 1982 col lected 1.200 student signatures, he says. The program, as it is now being offered at OSU. is not being offered as a major — some schools do offer undergraduate, graduate, or even doctorates in the field, however. Instead. students can earn a certificate after completing a minimum of 30 hours in peace related classes. ’‘The program at Oregon State is not design ed to to be religiously or idealogically oriented. It is intended to be grounded in the liberal arts and academics," Shibaly says. After completing 12 hours in core classes, students will take the remaining hours in other departments specifically designed for the program. Courses to be offered will include Conflict Resolution. Attitudes Toward War and Peace and Thinking About the Unthinkable. The thoughts of Gandhi. Buddha. Christ. Patton, and Hitler will be examined in Attitudes Towards War and Peace. Currently the University of Oregon is in the process of establishing its third committee to create a peace studies program. The first commit tee advised that such a program was feasible. The second committee was unable to Implement a program. Cheyney Ryan, head of the philosophy depart ment, and Sherri Schultz, a student member on the committees, have been working for two years on trying to get the project started. Their efforts have been frustrated by an inability to get the right people together with the expertise to get the program started, Schultz says. "It's unfortunate it's taking so long, but we are going to have a peace studies program on this campus very soon." Shultz says. "It's possible we can have something ready for next year." "it’s about time educators pulled their heads out of the sand." Shibely says, "peace studies am in the legitimate domain of higher education." Emerald Hall a,nll°ucd ^ ■1A The architecture school has been at the top of the Univer sity's capital improvement list for several years, but has yet to receive the funding needed for its expansion and improvement project, Gilland says.

"Our students will find it hard to connect with the pro gram or use our services." Moving an administration based organization to an off campus location Instead of a student-based organization would make more sense. Bon ner says.
