Symposium to Highlightthe Environment<br />
Presentations by the "Mother of Peace<br />
Studies" and "Father of Earth Day" at this<br />
fall's Westheimer Peace Symposium are<br />
designed to emphasize how the relationship<br />
between peace and the environment should<br />
be of great concern to the earth's family.<br />
The Fifth Annual Westheimer Peace<br />
Symposium at <strong>Wilmington</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>No</strong>v. 1<br />
will examine the increasingly vital role of<br />
environmental issues within the larger<br />
context of peace — world peace, regional<br />
peace, national peace and peace in our<br />
communities and neighborhoods.<br />
The day-long program, Preserving the<br />
Environment: Building Block or Stumbling<br />
Block to Peace?, also will feature the<br />
viewpoints of a Native American chief, a<br />
United Nations representative, an expert on<br />
radioactive waste and the president of a new<br />
company involved in renewable energy.<br />
Humans have always fought over the<br />
environment — land,<br />
water, resources, ——^————<br />
access — and the roots<br />
of peace have been<br />
found in the equitable<br />
distribution and use of<br />
nature, according to<br />
Jan Wood, assistant<br />
dean of faculty and<br />
symposium director.<br />
"As the world h as become more<br />
delicately interdependent,<br />
environmental conce rns have become<br />
pivotal to peace," she said. "Nature<br />
either will be our stumbling block or<br />
our building block t3 peace.<br />
"This year's Westheimer Peace<br />
Symposium promises to be an<br />
enlightening, informative and<br />
thought-provoking e vent," she added.<br />
"We feel the sympos ium continues to<br />
be a testament to <strong>Wilmington</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong>'s Quaker heritage of<br />
peacemaking, nonviolence, social<br />
justice, respect for all persons and<br />
stewardship of al resources —<br />
including the envircnment."<br />
"As the world has become more<br />
