Huntington College will offer four programs on key issues under the auspices of its Forester Lecture Series this semester. The presentations are free and open to the public. Each program will begin at 8 p.m. in the Longaker Recital Hall of the Merillat Centre for the Arts. Dasbach is the national chairman of the Libertarian Party, the third largest political party in the United States.
Libertarians are persons who are, above almost everything else, highly individualistic.
Trying to get them to agree on enough to run a political party has been compared to trying to herd a large number of cats. Mr. Dasbach will discuss the Libertarian Party, what leadership means in the context of individualism, and will provide unique insights into the American political order. Jelavich is Professor Emeritus of History at Indiana University and former President of the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies. Jelavich will describe how conflicts between South Slavic nationalists have twice in this century drawn the Great Powers into a Balkan quagmire. His lecture will discuss these complex events in the context of the failure of Yugoslavism and new opportunities in American-Russian relations.
