State System ‘giving peace
a chance’ with new program
By Gary fimene/
Ilf Ih* Kmcrald
"All we are saying is give peace a chance."
was a line in a song by John Lennon during the
Viet Nam War. 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."

While many agree that
Emerald Hail is old and should
have been torn down long ago,
representatives from two pro
grams based there worry about
their future in different
quarters.
“Relocation to the Agate
Street huts offer us no visibili
ty." says fackie Bonner whose
Educational Opportunities pro
gram may be moved to the small
buildings across from Hayward
Field. "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.
"Since space on campus is
tight, we know where we move
wor t be as good as where we
are now," Pacheco says of the
HEP move.
Emerald Hall is scheduled for
demolition in June, before con
struction of the science
buildings begins at the end of
summer.
