Workshops held to promote peace and unity By Jana Pedersen Staff Reporter Promoting peace and unity was the focus of a series of workshops pre sented by the eight members of the Peace Caravan at Cornerstone United Campus Ministries Saturday. “We try to teach the issues and <• networking,” said the Rev. Carol Powers, the coordinator of the Peace Caravan. “More education is impor tant so we can think about (the issues) in different ways, seeing how each of us is involved. We try to give hope that there are things we can do.” Some issues the group discusses are nuclear waste, sex roles, violence and empowerment. Workshops were held on each of these topics. Also, “(networking) is important to let people know that there are oth ers out there,” Powers said. “We want -1 A resume is more than just words on paper. It's a first impression.

Lincoln had the largest turnout of any other stops on the caravan’s nationwide tour to univer sities and colleges, Powers said. Joe Bowman, the Unitarian Universalist member who organized the Lincoln event, said he was pleased with its results. “The reason that I really wanted to support the Peace Caravan is that it really seems to be a good synthesis of concerns that aren’t just politics,” he said. Bowman said the emphasis on religion that the caravan provides is important because “there has to be something that pulls you through the struggle.” , “You never know if you vc done good,” he said. “You just have to believe that you have. That’s where religion comes in. It gives you some thing to believe in. ’ The group has been on tour since Sept. 24, and the tour will continue through Nov. 11. This is the first year for the Peace Caravan, which origi nates from Lanoka Harbor, N.J. The group includes students from the ages of 18 to 30 who come from different parts of the country and are all mem bers of the Unitarian Universalist church. Powers, who organized the cara van, said she was inspired after she participated in a peace march across the country in 1986 “I discovered how effective it was to actually go to where people live, she said. Ministry to young adults has been one of her goals for the program, and she said she feels that it has been successful in accomplishing that goal. “It’s a valuable way to learn and to give young adults a chance to organ ize,” she said.

The audience for the seminars is similar to that of the newsletter. The people who make policies concerning drought stricken areas and can change existing pol ic ics are encouraged to attend. The officials will learn about the methods performed by other coun tries suffering to improve their exist ing condition. The first seminar will cover drought problems encountered in Latin America, Wilhite said. Other seminars are being planned for Africa and Asia as well. Until now, funding has come from the International Affairs branch of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The branch already has funded $90,000- for the first year and will provide $60,000 for the second year. Other funding in the works could boost the budget to $250,000.
