Guest lecturer covers fundamentalism By John Fulwider Staff Reporter When people see their beliefs be ing threatened, they turn to funda mentalism, a guest lecturer said Thursday. Martin Marty, a University of Chicago professor, said people’s world views were irreplaceable parts of their identities. And when people think their views are in danger, he said, they return to the fundamentals of their beliefs, of ten drawing upon religious texts such as the Torah, the Koran or the Bible. Marty was the fourth lecturer in this year’s E.N. Thompson Forum on World Issues series. The term “fundamentalism,” he said, was coined in 1920 by Curtis Lee Laws, the Southern Baptist edi tor of The Watchman Examiner. In one of his articles, Laws called for something stronger than religious conservatism — fundamentalism. Marty said fundamentalists wanted to protect their views on gender, sexu ality, family, health, education, the media and economics. He said fundamentalists fought for what was closest to them. In America those issues included school prayer and family values, he said. Abortion also was important to fundamentalists, he said. Marty said linking murders of abortion doctors to fundamentalism was “a rather chancy thing.” He said nothing fur ther on the issue. Marty said the world was now full of people who were mad at each other. “Around the world there is a mas sive convulsive ingathering of peoples into their separatenesses and their overagainstnesses,” he said. But in the mid-20th Century, Marty said, people tried to get along. That trend of convergence ended with the Cold War, he said. The Cold War’s end brought with it an explosion in divergent ethnic nationalism, he said. This was in part because the repressive Soviet gov ernment ceased to exist, revealing the many different ethnicities that had been hidden for 73 years. Marty said America was lucky that its conflicts remained mostly peaceful “We’ve lucked out,” he said. “We have a great deal of ethnic, racial and religious intensity, but no wars over those differences, as in other parts of the world.” YOUTH BASEBALL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES The Babe Ruth Baseball League needs umpires & coaches for the summer.

Hurtgen Continued from Page 1 “I really liked and believed in the system,” she said. “As a freshman, I saw what everyone was doing and formed role models around that. “I can see what ASUN has done. It has many victories, but they aren’t covered as much as the negatives.” During her senate term, she be came CFA chairwoman and moved on to become the Government Liai son Committee chairwoman — a position the current ASUN President Andrew Loudon held before his presi dency. “I am going to miss ASUN,” he said, “but I’m confident that some one I trust is taking over.” Loudon said Hurtgen showed great • leadershipskillsandwasahard-work i ing and dedicated member of ASUN. J Hurtgen said her victory relied on t the support of her party and cam j paign volunteers, but one in particu i lar stood out. ii IMPACT candidate Ryan Pichler, who won the senate seat for the Col lege of Journalism and Mass Com munications, is more than Hurtgen’s fellow party member — he is her boyfriend. Pichler ran a lot of errands for Hurtgen in the past few days, but managed to stay out of her way. “We’re both really, really tense,” he said. “She was really snappy, and I was the only person she could really snap at.” Hurtgen said she couldn’t be as excited as her boyfriend was. “I’m a very non-emotional type person,” she said, “and I try to keep control of my composure all the time. You seldom see me excited, and that was hard for him because he was excited.” Still, Pichler said he supported his girlfriend 100 percent and encour aged her to run. “She’s an amazing woman,” he said. “She truly is.” CORRECTION We apologize for any inconvenience in Tuesdays erroneous ad of, THE AMERICAN ATHEIST FORUM t.v. show.
