~ Gwynne Dyer. :
_.:. He will ‘give a lecture at

_ lege’s Sportsplex. Tickets are $10

in advance or $12 at the door.

. Dyer has been looking for a
pattern in global events of the last
few:years. What he has found, he

» said, amounts to “an avalanche of

“change’’.

_ Factors such as the democrat-
ization of Eastern Europe, the
disapperance ‘of the Cold War and
the revival of the United Nations
as. a- peace-keeping force have
shifted the path of history, says
Dyer.

Although most of the change
has been non-violent, even tne war
in Iraq contributed to world peace
because it heightened the UN’s in-
fluence.

“The UN is shutting down wars
around the worid at the rate of
one every couple of months,”’ said
Dyer.

As examples, he said the war in
Angolia was halted in May after
15 years; in July, the UN brougit
about an end to the conflict in the
Western Sahara and in mid-
September the UN brokered the
Cambodian cease fire agreement.
The Middle East peace conference
is set to get underway next month.

Dyer’s optimisim raises a lot of
controversy. Many people cling to
