York College's annual Perspective on Peace lecture will be presented by Vamik Volkan at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 20, in DeMeester Recital Hall, Wolf Hall, on the campus of York College, 441 Country Club Road, York. Volkan was nominated five times for the Nobel Peace Prize and was the subject of the film "Vamik's Room."
