imagine having my major entirely eliminated from the program. I think I speak for everyone when I say that with
everything else that is going on in America, this is a stress we just don't need.
Even so, I am proud to be a Beaver, a member of the UHC , and I'm proud of all the accomplishment in the
Chronicle magazine.
The last year Chronicle staff expended a huge amount of energy to write, edit and produce the Spring 2001
edition. Our hard labor was recently commended when that issue placed second in a National Collegiate Honors
Council newsletter competition. I want to thank last year's staff for their tremendous effort, and also thank the
readers of the Chronicle for their support.
Even more recently, this fall brought an almost entirely new staff to the Chronicle. These individuals, with
a wide range of majors, interests, and skills, not only brought to you this excellent edition of the Chronicle, but they
also helped to dispel the myth that you must be an English major to join the Chronicle. This downpour of support
from our new staff members is promising, and hopefully will foreshadow involvement in the Chronicle for the next
few years.
So maybe this fall didn't bring any Fiesta Bowls or million dollar donations to salvage the financial havoc
of OSU, it did, in terms of the Chronicle, remind us that hard work never goes unnoticed. And I don't doubt that
OSU will once again rise to its customary level of greatness. I firmly believe that a person, or in this case an
institution will only be successful after experiencing certain impediments and failures. It's like when I go bowling
and only knock down two pins, I think of the remaining eight opportunities I have for success next time. Okay, so
maybe that's not such a good example because my bowling score still is only around 75, but you get what I mean!
And for my departing words that I hope resound in the hearts of everyone, I leave you with this: OSU and
the UHC ROCKS!!!

Welcome
carry around the subtle aroma of experimental chemistry (which had a tendency to make everyone within a 3 foot
radius of me gag). And being as it is the first two weeks of a new term, I'm sure we will all be perfect students staying on
top of every single reading, essay, homework assignment, etc., etc. (riiiiiight). I have come to the conclusion that there is a
direct relationship between the number of years spent here and the weeks until quarter burnout (someone should do a thesis
on this). This is my third year here, and not two weeks into fall term, I was already suffering from the "I DON'T WANNA
DO HOMEWORK ANYMORE!" syndrome (I haven't gotten better yet either). Despite my belief that all homework is
inherently evil, I must admit that there is one class whose homework will probably do the most for me out of any class I will
ever take during my stay at OSU: Intro to Thesis 403.
Before this class, I could hardly say the word "thesis" without sending myself into paroxysms of fear. How do you
have any earthly idea what to write it on - after all, there are countless questions, interests, and theories that could be delved
into, but how do you pick the perfect one? I mean, this decision has monumental importance - you sell your soul to this
project for at least a year of your life! (Not to mention getting into grad schools) AHHHHHH! I Okay, take deep breaths,
you don't have to run away screaming .
Dr. Hendricks and Dr. Am, who jointly teach Intro to Thesis, have broken down this monster into bite-sized pieces
that are definitely conquerable. They take you through all of the important and necessary steps to get you on your way. If
you make the most of the class, you can come out of it with a mentor (most professors are very approachable) and a thesis
proposal (or at least an idea of how to do it correctly). Not to mention the fact that you don't even have to do a thesis in the
area of your major! Chemistry major that I am, I could write a play, create some artwork, or maybe even compose a piece
of music (if I were actually competent in any of those areas of course). So if my research on micellar aggregation doesn't
work out, I plan on doing an interpretive dance about micelles instead.
Have a great

Just yesterday, when wandering over to the SLUG and
pondering how to format this article on peer mentoring,
I ran into a friend from the Honors College. He chided
me a bit for not having the article done a few days ago,
and I said that I was struggling to decide what angle to
take. I asked if he was involved in the program because
I thought that maybe an interview would be a good idea.
He looked rather dismayed
and said, "I'm your mentor!"
(Whoops.) "Of course," I
said, "I knew that." (Cough,
cough). I quickly backtracked in my mind to day

we dined on our pizza and soda. Once the speech was

The assistance was greatly appreciated!

We decided that we would
meet later, and I would discuss the Peer Mentoring Program with him.
Thinking about the program, I remembered
Mentoring Program. A student suggested the program
last fall that had been a part
of a similar program a few
years before. The goal was
to give new students the opportunity to meet other students their age and older and
to help them adjust to the
UHC. It was agreed that having an informal program would be the best idea; it would
some of the earlier peer mentoring activities. On one of
our first days there, we met our mentors and got to know
them a bit. We also got to know several other beginning
UHC students. As a group, we attended the OSU convocation in Gill Coliseum, following which we went out
to lunch with our mentors.
Later that evening, we attended a pizza dinner
in SLUG II and got to know even more UHC students.
be more comfortable for everyone that way. This year,
there are twenty students acting as peer mentors. Each
has somewhere around six new students in their group.
Mentors are required to attend a training session, make
a minimum number of contacts with mentees, host a
minimum number of programs, and file an end of term
report.
Much later in the day (technically the next day),
I went to iiiy conference with my peer mentor. "Mentor

Growing up in the United States, a child quickly
learns the values of our country. By the age of
ten, I could tell you that America stands for equality for all people, that all people have a right to a
voice and a say in how their government should
set a precedent for U.S involvement in other
international matters. In many ways, America
sees itself as having an almost parental role in
the international community. When America
acts, it almost invariably does so to rescue one
group or another, to right a wrong, or to give
others the gift of our democracy. While occa-
operate. America is a safe haven for all people
from all walks of life, and a place where anyone
and everyone's achievements are limited only
by their ability. Even abroad, America leads the
world in humanitarian aid given to struggling
sionally we do these things for selfish ends, like
preserving oil prices, or to keep ahead of a com-
nations. I think most would agree these are laud-
the fact that the United States is the biggest supplier of humanitarian aid in the world.
able accomplishments. This begs the question,
however; why do so many people in this world
hate us?
That is not to say that everyone, everywhere, hates us. That would be a gross oversimplification. However, prior to September 11,
2001, anti-American sentiment was noticeable
in most countries in the world. These feelings
range from outright protestation in Iraq or Egypt,
to disdain and contempt felt in France or China,
to irritation towards us from Canada or Japan. It
is fairly obvious that the United States has a nega-
tive public image. The reason for this is
America's foreign policy.
Physically, the United States is rather
isolated, with two broad oceans on our east and
west and friendly neighbors to the north and
south. This quirk of geography has engendered
an internal perception of America being separated from the world's problems. There are many
events in our history that have effected our current foreign policy, but it was the second World
War and America's emergence as a superpower
that critically defined it. Aside from Pearl Harbor, the U.S. homeland has been virtually untouched by war while other nations have been
ravaged by it. Thus, in both World Wars, we
were slow to enter. However, once we did, we
invariably turned the tide of war. World War II
wasn't really America's war, not in comparison
to its impact in France, Britain, or Germany. The
U.S. war effort was designed to protect other
people, not defend out own. In many ways, U.S.
involvement could be seen as a rescue effort, a
rescue that the U.S. did incredibly well.
United States' success in World War II
petitor, I generally believe that many interactions are done because we think we are helping
people. This can be seen most definitively by
The problem with this sort of foreign
policy arises because our aid efforts are viewed
through a self-centered eye. When we help
people handle their problems, we give them
American solutions. The solutions we would
use in the States don't always fix other nations'
problems. Often, the introduction of democratic
methods in a foreign government already fragile from war simply adds more chaos and confusion. Furthermore, by taking a parental stance
in our foreign policy, we cast those we aid into
the role of children, a role I doubt they appreciate.
The events of September 11th have,
more that anything, brought us out of our perceived seclusion from world affairs. We have
been the victims of warlike attacks, and most
assuredly we will again. These attacks were
merely a symptom of the problem. The problem lies in the international opinion towards
America. No amount of bombs or guns will root
out every person in the world who is angry at
America. So one way or another we have to
take action and change our foreign policy if we
wish to prevent further attacks. I see two paths
we could follow.
We could change our level of involve-
ment and stop spearheading "aid" missions.
This would make America a more neutral country. In doing so, we should make America more
self-sufficient, so we would be less susceptible
to international changes and less likely to fight
a war, for example, for oil. This would require
an increase in the budget for research, and

about a single, universal, and almighty God
who was, is, and will continue to be active

Christian faith and ancestry, cannot
be relied upon as a historical reference.
In Werner Keller's
book, The Bible as History, he
effectively challenges this no-
tion by taking a historicalcritical approach to these ancient texts. Keller carefully examines Biblical records and considers how they
compare and contrast with other ancient
records and artifacts that have been discovered throughout the years. Without utilizing
religious presuppositions, Keller presents an
abundance of archeological evidence, which
could corroborate or, in some cases, contradict some of the assumptions that have been
made about the Bible.
This objective exercise reveals how reliable the history
presented in the Bible actually is, and thereby raises the
question: Will demonstration of
the Bible's historical accuracy
lead one to put one's faith in it,
religiously?
As a historian, it is not Keller's
intent or interest to philosophize on
this point. Instead, he provides a summation of accounts that establishes the
Bible as a valid historical reference. This
verification could potentially persuade
those who are unable to accept arguments
not based upon their own presuppositions to
believe - based upon the preponderance of
evidence for scriptural accuracy that which
is beyond physical proof.

I don't trust the wind The way it takes my secrets
And with a sudden surge of air,
Carries them away;
Takes my words,
Spins them in an unpredictable current,
And blows them
Across the grasslands,
Through the mountains;
Spreads my thoughts
To other lands.
But you, my friend,
The ocean,
I trust you.
With your dependable tides,
Always ebbing and flowing,
I throw my words out
And like the shiny little seashells,
Are churned around for a while,
As you kindly brood over my thoughts;
Let them sink to the floor,
Where they are stored,
Safe from suspicious ears.
