AFTER D.C. Carter remains active in humanities and politics BY STACI CRANWELL FORMER PRESIDENT Jimmy Carter, became the fifth president to give a Landon Lecture last April. Carter focused his address on issues that related to the Middle East and what he and his wife, Rosalynn, have been doing since he left office in 1980. Carter told the audience there was life after the White House. Since his term as the United States ' 39th President, he had written several books, established the Carter Center and had been a distinguished professor at Emory University for nine years. When I did take the responsibility of being a professor, I also wanted to build the Presidential Library, which was turned over to the government, but we organized the Carter Center, Carter said. One guideline is that it does not allow the center to duplicate projects that other organizations do. I see that that ' s a very important element in the university system in our country, but unless it has a direct action component, we do not undertake it, Carter said. Along with the rain forest issue, food production in Africa and human rights around the globe, he spoke of the Carter Center ' s task force on child survival. It [child survival task force] was organized about six years ago, Carter said. What it does is to the effort of the world health organization of UNICEF, of various and others in the immunization of the world ' s children. In reference to the Persian Gulf war, Carter offered his opinion to the audience. I personally was against the initiation of conflict, because there had not been any good faith efforts made to resolve the conflict or the invasion of Kuwait through negotiations, Carter said. We won a wonderful victory. Kuwaitis are no closer to the democracy and freedom than they were before. Carter then focused his attention on who he felt suffered the most from the war. The suffering falls not on Saddam Hussein, who ' s still there, still in power, but on the civilian population, Carter said. And those are the ones in a modern war who die. The former president gave his ideas for peace within the Middle East. His plan called for an international conference among the nation ' s of the Middle East. I think they would be very moderate in their Carter said. ...I think they will say, `Well this is my only chance in the world ' s limelight, I ' m going to make our case look reasonable and rational and peacefully oriented. President Carter that there was hope for the Middle East because of one factor that does not change, and that is the world wants peace. It ' s only a matter of overcoming their reluctance. It ' s just a matter of overcoming their of a few recalcitrant political leaders who don ' t have the vision to see that they could go down in history as great saviors of people of precious focused region of the world, the Holy Land; and I would like to see one day the Holy Land be a land of peace, Carter said. DEMOCRATIC SEN. DAVID BOREN OF Oklahoma delivers the 89th Landon Lecture. (Photo by David Mayes) Boren questions the future and calls for SOCIAL CHANGES BY MELANIE HUNDLEY The greatest threat to our national security is that we will not change our thinking fast enough to coincide with all the changes in the world around us, said David Boren, D-Okla. Boren, the longest-serving Chairman of the Intelligence Committee, delivered the 89th Landon Lecture Address in October 1991 at McCain Auditorium. He said a new set of assets must be adopted to lead the world and to keep our quality of life in the next century. Boren said we are unique in that we are conscious of the times in which we live. The question is, Boren said, will we do a better job of shaping the future since we know we are living through these times. Ever since the Cold War, world leadership has been defined in terms of military strength. Boren said other countries are no longer afraid of the Soviet Union, and the position of the United States must change with the times. We are now entering a period of time in which our strength won ' t be defined so much in military terms as it is going to be defined in terms of our economic and social s trength and the force of our moral example. We are not ready for the next century because of discouraging U.S. social and economic statistics,Boren said. The United States ' share in world trade has declined along with per capita income; while the crime and high school drop-out rates have steadily increased. Boren said the time to act is now to change America ' s future for the better.
