Sean Webster World News Editor The economics of war

Civil war. It’s a funny term, if you think about it. Almost an oxymoron of sorts. But those who have been through a civil war know it’s anything but a laughing matter. The World Briefing violence caused by intrastate conflict – or conflict that takes place within a state between politically oriented groups – can pit brother against brother and almost always results in plenty of civilian casualties. However, if the factors that lead to intra- state conflict could be identified, then perhaps future conflicts could be prevented and current conflicts could be brought to a peaceful end. Religious and ethnic factors are often cited as causes, as they are involved in many of the world’s most intense intrastate conflicts. But 1. Greek economy near the brink 2.

The goals of the event were to raise money for cancer re- having enough search, to increase awareness about the disease, and to remember those trouble with who lost their lives to cancer. the old ones This year’s event raised approximately $40,000, a steep decrease from the more than $100,000 that was raised during the first JCU Relay John there, Ace. For Life event in 2007. While we recognize the economic recession as a factor in the decrease, Carroll is we also hold lagging student participation and dedication as contribu- adding tors. About 600 people participated, down approximately 250 people compared to last year. several new

As people attending a university that prides itself on service, students programs should make an effort to support large fundraising events like Relay For Life. Students could have formed teams or attended the event to show next year. support in place of monetary contributions. Further, as JCU and the City work to strengthen their relationship, it is important to have a large student presence at events that invite the

community to participate. Relay For Life is an opportunity to unify JCU students with community members for a common cause. We hope to see more student involvement in future Relay For Life events on campus and greater concern for being active members of the JCU and University Heights communities. We commend those who participated through rain and shine to sup- port the goals of the event and raised a significant amount of money for “ the American Cancer Society. We also commend the volunteers who organized the event. This year’s Relay received approval from the city of University Heights Cartoon by Joe Hinkel to remain outside for the duration of the event; however, rain forced the event inside. The event coordinators made a fluid transition to the DeCarlo Varsity Gym, where WJCU and live musical performances NOTABLE QUOTABLE provided entertainment. Editorial JCU offers several new majors for fall “A political solution must not create In the upcoming semester, students should look forward to several new majors that the faculty are currently developing. Two weeks ago, a precedent that intimidation will bring the East Asian studies major was approved. In addition to this, 10 other programs are also being put together, including majors in the schools about social change.” of business and arts and sciences. We commend the University’s efforts to expand the number of pro- grams offered. Included among the new programs are a leadership studies -Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva of Thailand minor, an international business major, a human resource management major and a peace, justice and human rights major. The benefits of the curricular expansion are many. On one level, this will hopefully draw more interest from potential “ students. Many high school seniors have a good idea of what field they would like to pursue, but their major may be largely undecided. For these students, a college with a greater list of majors would be more appealing. The additional programs would allow them to choose their school without knowing exactly which major they will declare.
