overview of why a 1970s draft trial is relevant to 2007.

Philosophy and Moral Theology, Political
Science, Psychology, Religion

- organize a campus wide discussion on "Peace and War in the
Heartland: What has history taught us?" bringing in diverse
points of view

8 at a chapter of your professional association or on your
campus
- write a Letter to the Editor, an article for media accessible
to you (from newspapers to newsletters, from bulletin boards to
