Unidentified Flying Objects
'Possible But Not Provable'
- v:-' - I
SS . SB' J.
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

An archaeological summ

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

Total cost of the program
is $685, including round-trip

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.

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!
