Whether unidentified fly ing objects are really seen is possible but not prov able, was the indication of an East Union lounge se ries discussion panel. Members of the panel were Dr. Nora Brassard, a clinical psychologist spe cializing in hallucinations; Carroll Moore, professor of astronomy at Nebraska Wesleyan University and Allen Griesemer, geologist and curator of educational services at the University planetarium. This week a research team from the University of Colorado was given a $300,000 grant from the fed eral government to investi gate reports of unidentified flying objects (UFO) throughout the U.S. More than 90 per cent of UFOs have been identified as objects which are ordi narily seen, Moore said. Comets, meteors and fire balls, in general, can defi nitely be mistaken as UFOs, he said. Scientists believe that the basic principles of aerody namics and physics will apply throughout the uni verse as on earth, Moore stated. The latest explanation for a UFO is a plasma, which has an equal number of neg ative and positive charges, he said, and could dart in VOLUNTEERS JOIN DIGS ... at excavation sites in England. Summer A rchaeologist Excavate English Sites GOP Nominees Parade With University YR's An archaeological summ er study program in Eur ope is being offered to col lege students by the Asso ciation f or C u 1 1 u r a 1 Ex change, a British non-profit organization. Fifty volunteers will first join a three-week seminar for training in British arch aeology and excavation tech niques at Westminister Col lege, Oxford. The students then split up into small groups for three more weeks digging on an archa eological site. In previous y e a r s, stu dents have joined "digs" on the paleolithic in Suffolk, an Iron-Age hill fort on the Welsh Marches, a Roman Palace near the South Coast of England and a Roman town near Stratford-on-Avon. Two courses are offered in this study program in cluding a general survey course for students without previous knowledge of arch aeology or a specialist course for anthropology ma jors and graduate students. Class work will be illus trated by visits to Cheddar Caves, Stonehenge, Winche ter, Chedworth Roman Vil la and Verulamium. The program which has been conducted for t h r e e consecutive years begins with the three-week academ ic courses at Westminister College July 10 and contin ues until August 20. Total cost of the program is $685, including round-trip air transportation More than 60 University Young Republicans and GOP candidates turned out Thurs day night to parade through Lincoln in support of the Re publican cause in Tuesday's elections, Among the candidates in. the parade was congression al nominee Robert V. Den ney. In 40 degree weather the students and candidates rode in the backs of con vertibles and regular cars displaying signs for the GOP candidates. The living unit having the greatest representation at the parade receives a trophy from the Young Republi cans. The parade began on the north steps of the Nebraska Union, went down 14th Street, and then moved over O St., attracting large crowds of Thursday night shoppers.

READ NEBRASKAN WANT ADS different directions by electro-static attractions. Laws of aerodynamics and physics do not permit scientists to believe that UFOs are things in the terms of man-controlled flying saucers, Moore said. Griesemer said that un informitarianism is an im portant ingredient in under standing the physical and biological world. It seems possible that civilizations within the last few million years devel oped into highly efficient systems and departed from the earth and are now ex isting, Griesemer said. Dr. Brassard said that perfectly rational and rea sonable people have report ed seeing UFOs under very normal conditions. They had the perception of an object which may or may not have been there, but there is no evidence to say what it was, she said. Psychologists call it a perceptual phenome non, she added, and a hal lucination is an extension of a normal phenomenon. How perception is inter preted depends on learning, motivation and needs of the person, she said. Hypnosis, a hyper-sug-gestable stage, neither val idates nor invalidates origi nal reports, Dr. Brassard said, and is not relevant to whether or not something was perceived.

JUIlGfH if COE116S to politics, is Mcf li USlllOSS Some sharp tongues define "mugwump" as a political animal with his "mug" on one side of the fence, his "wump" on the other. Clearer heads claim it a stamp of independence. The definition and corporate stance Western Elec tric takes is strictly nonpartisan. But nonpartisan as WE must be, we recog nize that, to be an effective citizen, the indi vidual must become a political partisan. And it means being more active than just showing up at the polls. So we do our best to encour age our 170,000 people to express their political leanings in whatever direction. We do it by sponsoring a "Democracy in Action" program that takes no sides, but explores all angles. WE people -white collar, blue collar - lead it. Long before elections, courses are given at WE locations. Back ground subjects include such Soc. and Eco. considerations as -The Persistent Problem of Unemployment.. .The Negro's Long Struggle . . . America's Balance of Payments. Booklets are handed out that answer questions like: "How can I get started in politics? How can I use my talents to serve my party?" Before elections, Back Your Party rallies are held. Bunting and posters hung. Politi cians from both national parties are invited to speak. A dialogue develops. Thousands of WE people participate. It stirs up their political juices. Helps mako them better informed, ergo: better citizens.' As a national company, in the Bell System to make ever-better communications equip ment, we believe such basic communications are vital. It's also fun!
