Winget says, the govern ment does not even come close to representing the will of the people, especially since simple requests to live in nuclear-free areas have not been honored. Peace begins in the home, Winget says, and yet our fast evolving material world has contributed to society’s inabili ty to think alwiut something as simple as peace He says within every household there is at least one func tional. yet totally unus ed item It is the attachment to this object that stops people fro it) living and feeling peaceful toward one another, he says. ■'By example, 1 am utilizing what I have — my voice — and sharing with other people, thus showing our government there are other options." Similarly, instead of pouring out millions of dollars on his presidential campaign as other candidates do, VVinget plans to use the barter system, its he did in 1984 with running mate Barbara Marks Hubbard. "I'll give you something you can use, you give me something 1 want in return.” he says. Winget adds to be put in this position of privilege, he would give the people one million dollars off the top right away, as he would take no pay for the position of President. In his campaign, human rights is his primary concern, especially freeing political prisoners such as Leonard Peltier and Dennis Banks. VVinget says he believes the role of government has escalated from truly represen ting the people to telling us how to live, something he plans to drastically alter.

Honors Continued from Page 3 _ pus and are actively involved in student activities ranging from debate to intramural and varsity athletics. Student reasons for enroll ment in the Honors College often vary. "I enrolled in the Honors Col lege because I tend to get bored in the classes where I'm not in tensely challenged," said Mar nie Thompson, a freshman English major. "I wanted to be in an environment where 1 would be stimulated." Class discussions are in teresting enough that they motivate students to participate "for the sheer pleasure of it and not just because of the grade. It’s really irritating to sit there and hear people have a heated debate all around you and not be able to talk out because you haven't done your homework," Thompson added. In addition to the intense lear ning atmosphere present in the classroom, the Honors College also offers a place where like minds can meet. According to Kim Puttman, a senior sociology and interna tional studies double major, the Honors College provides a social base where students can interact in group and individual settings. Through this interaction, strong bonds are formed but the beginning point of this "social atmosphere starts in the classroom," Puttman said When presenting arguments in front of a group of people, "you're exposing yourself, and if you don't establish a basic trust (with the people in the group), you can't do it." she added. Hut by risking exposure of idea and self, an intimacy and a strung bond is created among the students - a bond that ex tends beyond the classroom. As a result, the Honors Col lege not only becomes a place where one can study; it also become* a place where students can interact with one another "It's like a family,” Puttman added.
