By Courtney Walker The Battalion Through a series of lectures next week on “Searching for the truth in the mind — The Rational in God,” the Veritas F'orum will foster discussions about truth in an academic setting, a Texas A&M Campus Crusade for Christ volunteer said. The lectures will began Mon day with Dr. J.P. Moreland from the University of South Califor nia and “Searching for Truth in Life — Fulfilling the Human Quest for Meaning.” The lectures will last from 7:30 until 9 p.m. in Rudder every night through Friday. Topics range from “Searching for Truth in Lifestyles: Homosex uality and Christian Morality” to “Searching for Truth in the Cos mos: Big Bang, Stephen Hawking and God.” The Veritas Forum was start ed at Harvard University in 1992 by a businessman from Columbus, Ohio, and a Harvard faculty member. Mike Neely, south region di rector for Christian leadership ministries, said the Forum is not meant as a name-calling series of lectures, but is meant to ex pose positive aspects of the Christian world view in different academic disciplines. “There has been an unfair di chotomy the last 30 to 40 years at universities of metaphysical natu ralism,” Neely said. “There is a belief that everything occurred by nature or by chance as seen in Darwin’s theory, and we think something is right because sci ence can explain everything.” The Forum was brought to the A&M campus with the help of Dr. Walter Bradley, an A&M me chanical engineering professor. “When the Veritas F'orum first started around the country they needed someone to speak in the area of Christianity and God,” Bradley said. Gail Stucker, a Campus Cru sade for Christ volunteer and a staff member for the mechanical engineering department, said people become specialized in their fields of study and lose sight of the broader perspective of truth. “When we specialize we tend not to discuss the issues of truth in the classroom like they did a thousand years ago, and the de bate of‘what is truth' is lost in the academic scene,” Stucker said. Bradley said that around the country, the idea of truth is very dubious and beliefs Lire relative. “It’s not just A&M, because the question of what truth is in re gard to the Christian faith is here as much as any other university in the country,” he said.

By Courtney Walker The Battalion In a conference Nov. 10 and 11, stu dents will play the role of delegates for the Model United Nations Security Coun cil and General Assembly. Chrisma Jackson, vice chair of external affairs for Model International Organiza tions Committee and a senior mechanical engineering major, said the conference is the closest to Congress you can get. Once students are selected to partic ipate in the Model United Nations Con ference, they are assigned a country and must write resolutions to place in front of the General Assembly. The resolutions are presented at the conference by the delegates and debated. After the delegates have debated, the reso lution is open for debate and up for voting. “The conference exposes cultures of other nations and gives students a chance to debate world issues,” Jackson said. Lauren Adams, Security Council presi dent and a junior psychology major, said she has been involved in the Model Unit ed Nations since high school and has learned more about international and cur rent events. “People need to realize there is more out there than the United States,” Adams said. “We are a global communi ty, not a local one.” Along with the General Assembly, stu dents also participate in the mock Security Council which meets during military con flict in the real United Nations Conference. For the model conference, simulated cri sis situations are made up where one coun try attacks another, and the delegates must deal with the problem like it is real. Jason Smith, who is in charge of agen da topics and a junior political science major, said the conference lets students exchange cultural viewpoints, then bring them together. “The conference gives insight to rela tions and intercommunication between foreign government on community con cerns and issues around the nation,” Smith said. To participate, students must submit an application and list four possible coun tries they would like to represent in the conference. Applications are due today and may be turned in at 223 MSC.
