in this way. he says. people in
different countries can have the
opportunity to experience how
we feel about peace and express
how they in turn feel
Win get believes that these
peace scrolls, which he plans to
have delivered to Washington,
DC. from around the world,
will serve as a kind of peace
pact between people. Me hopes
that this demonstration will
serve to show the government
that there are other options
open in working toward peace
built upon trust, respect and
feelings of community between
the people of the world Cur
rently. 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

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. "1 look at laws

Skin walkers
TONY HILLERMAN

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.
