John 15:27 Peace prize forum unites college students with world leaders for reconciliation by Kim Van Winkle Mirror Reporter Former Vice President Walter Mondale addressed a full house at the Elmen Center Saturday night, saying that the fourth annual Peace Prize Forum addressed the "most important issue on Earth--peace." Over 1,800 people representing several area high schools, colleges and churches attended the forum, which followed the theme, "Resolving Cultural Conflicts." "This is the right conference, at the right place and the right time with the right people," said Nobel Peace Prize Winner and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel. Wiesel said he was optimistic about the chances for peace in the future. "Things are happening so fast," he said. "Who would have expected the fall of the Soviet empire in my lifetime?" Other keynote speakers included Nobel Laureate Mairead Corrigan Maguire, as well as Helga Hernes of the Norwegian Royal Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ryuzaburo Kaku of Canon Inc., Camelia Sadat, Cheryl Crazy Bull of Sinte Gleska University, and Robin Wright of the Los Angeles Times. "The whole weekend was just overwhelming," said student coordinator Stephanie Hals, an Augustana senior. "The events just kept building and students went away with a lot to think about." Hals said that this was the biggest Peace Prize Forum ever, in terms of events. This year's forum marked the first time that more than one Nobel Laureate was in attendance and the first time that the events spanned three days. "It was a very powerful event for students," Hals said. "It was really successful." Hals said she believed that the best events were the student workshops. "It was the only chance for students to interact one-on-one with the speakers, to ask anyone anything and to see them as real people," she said. "This was an incredible opportunity given the quality of the speakers. Too often studepts get left in the dust." Joel Wudel, director of alumni relations at Augustana agreed that the forum was a success. "All of the speakers were able to make it, and attendance was good considering the poor weather on Saturday," he said. The $100-per-plate fundraising dinner with the Laureates sold out with 200 people attending. "A lot of faculty and administrators were involved. It was an 'all hands on deck' weekend, and it paid off," Wudel said. Hals said that student participation made the weekend a success. Students played a major role in the Living Art Theatre on Saturday and in the Sunday morning multi-cultural celebration. Next year's Peace Prize Forum is scheduled to be held at Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn. Discussion will center around the role of the United Nations in the building of a new world order. Students pitch in at forum by Kirstine Johnson Mirror Reporter Putting together this past weekend's Peace Prize Forum required the help of many individuals. One of which was Michelle Bendix who offered her time, energy and support. Bendix, a senior, became involvt7d in the Peace Prize Forum due to her internship in Augustana's public events office. Bendix, a double major in communications and business administration, worked closely with student assistants who had volunteered to be ushers and hosts/hostesses during the forum. Bendix also helped to plan and give input on a broad range of activities such as registration, the Laureate's dinner, the seminar on Friday's and Sunday's program. She says she learned a great deal from working on the project. "It was amazing to see such a huge event actually put together," Bendix said. "I learned a lot of management skills and about the planning process that takes place." Bendix gives an enormous amount of credit to the other students and faculty members who worked on putting the event together. She gives credit to Stephanie Hals and Becky Moen, whom she worked with closely on the project. "Without them, I would never have been able to do the work I did," Bendix said. "I have a deep appreciation for all the students who assisted [in helping]." Bendix felt the Peace Prize Forum was a huge success due to the speakers' moving messages and the whole coordination of the event. Bendix put nearly 125 hours into the project, but despite the long days and late nights, she said the ends justified the means. "It was a most memorable and rewarding experience," Bendix said.
