Symposium topic: war inevitable or profitable
friday, march 28, 1980
By Rose Fitzpatrick
The notion of war being inevitable or profitable was
the topic of the global issues symposium on the nature
of war Thursday.
A panel of four hosted by Peter Levitov, director of
the Office of International Educational Services, center
ed on the need for disarmament. Principal speaker was John
Swomlcy, who has been active in non -violent resistance
and is a professor of social ethics at the St. Paul School of
Theology in Kansas City.
Other panelists were Hugh Arnold, from the political
science department, Col. Robert Bachman, military
science department, and Edward I Ionize, history depart
ment.
Swomley said that conflict among humans does not
have to result in war and that humans are not by nature
aggressive.
If humans were by nature aggressive, it would not be
necessary for governments to propagandize to get them
to go to war.
No shootings remarkable
Swomley said it is remarkable that no hostages have
been shot by revolutionaries in Iran, considering what he
called the U.S.-CIA involvement in unseating Iranian lead
er Mossadegh, bringing the Shah to power, training
SAVAK agents among other things.
Bachman said the Iranians violated international law
and the U.S. could have been trapped into going to war in
Iran.
Swomley said one has to realize what Iranians have
gone through, such as a religious leader he heard about
who had to stand by and watch his daughter raped several
times by SAVAK agents.
"We must face the facts of our own sins," Swomley
said.

Homze said he agreed with Swomley that people in
modern times haven't given nearly enough thought and
time toward disarmament.
However, Homze said that fascists thought that war was
the highest achievement of humans.
War benefits repressive societies
Arnold said that war sometimes benefits people in re
pressive societies such as South Africa and other countries
where people are starving,
Swomley said that if there was a military revolt of
blacks in Africa, there will be a "bloodbath."
April 10 is final date
to claim stolen bicycles
Students who have lost a bicycle and not reported it
should check with campus police before April 10, accord
ing to Cpl. Ron Lundy.
tundy said the department has 27 unclaimed bikes and
that 21 of these will be turned over to an East Campus
warehouse on April 10. The bikes will be auctioned some
time in May, he said.
"We usually hold these bikes for at least 60 days, and
most have been here all winter. This is the last chance to
claim them," Lundy said.
Students who wish to claim a bike will be asked to
identify it, he said.
The question is whether we have a responsibility to
prevent repression and exploitation through U.S. business
dealings, banking investments and Krugerrand purchases.
Blacks have gained some success through non-violent
strides, Swomley said .and about 60 nations have achieved
freedom by non-violent means.
However, Homze said he doubted whether 60 nations
achieved freedom without bloodshed.
Swomley previously was director of the National
Council against Conscription, executive secretary of the
Fellowship of Reconciliation, and on the national board of
the American Society of Christian Ethics. He currently is
on the board of the American Civil Liberties Union.
