Scholar redefines modern thought
By Ingrid Petersen
Emerald Reporter
As a result of the possibility
of nuclear holocaust, a new
political thinking has emerged
that makes peace a top priority,
according to Guenther Rose, a
Fulbright fellow visiting the
University from Fast Berlin.
Guenther, one of three
scholars to receive the first
Fulbright fellowships ever
awarded to citizens t>f tin- tier
man Democrat Republic, spoke
on the issue of "New Modes of
Thinking in the Nuclear Age."
on Wednesday in the EMU.
"The present era is in two
ways a turning point.” Rose
said, referring to the fact that
the world has enough resources
to meet basic human needs and
at the same time the potential to
wipe out the entire human race.
In a world where 40.000
children die every day in
underdevloped countries, a
change in political thinking is
necessary, according to Rose
"We should la- aware that
while I am speaking ten
children have died." he said
This new mode of thinking is
characterized by several points
with peace as the number one
priority, according to Rose.
"Peace has become the final
condition for human ex

groups, so the kids talk them
over with the drivers,” she
added.
Volunteers are asked to com
mit to at least 10 to 12 weeks of
driving through the duration of
the therapy sessions, Paaso
said.
Drivers will work in groups of
two so that while one person is
driving, the other is free to talk
with the patients. This is in
tended to give the children a
greater sense of stability, she
said.
Paaso said this sense of
stability is especially important
during the third and fourth
weeks of therapy. This is when
the patients really "start deal
ing with what's happened to
them," she added.
O’Brien called this the
"power-control period," or a
period of "acting out." This is
when the therapists start
"working out” the children's
feelings about what has happen
ed to them, she said. Sometimes
these feelings don't come out
during the group session, so the
children will let them out dur
ing the ride home, she said
"This is a scary time for kids"
who have never had this kind of
experience, she said.
"We don’t expect them (the
drivers) to handle these situa
tions like we would," she said
— "The expectation is that they
handle it in a common-sense
fashion."
Perhaps one of the most im
portant things clients get out of
these sessions is a feeling of
"normalization," O'Brien said
Children no longer feel that
they are estranged from other
peers - they find out others feel
the same way they do, she said
With the teen groups. O’Brien
said clients often recognize
other peers who have gone
through some of the same ex
periences and who have turned
out alright, presenting a
positive role model.
The sessions, though not
always completely successful,
help with the immediate situa
lion. O'Brien said "They help
plant some seeds for the
future," she added
Soliciting volunteers to drive
the vans was not an easy task,
according to Lynn flinders, a
volunteer specialist with the
Department of Human
Resources Volunteer Program.
When she first attempted to get
volunteers for the program, she
did not receive much of u
response.
"When people think of
volunteering, they don't think
of transportation," she said
"They don't think of driving
buses and vans."
