College report unfinished The final report of the Res idential College Committee has not been released yet, according to Merk Hobson, committee chairman, and vice chancellor and dean of faculties. The work of the group, part of the Chancellor's Centen nial College Committee, has been finished for two weeks, but Hobson has not had the time to release the commit tee's conclusions regarding the posibility of a Residential College for next fall's fresh men class. between the spirit world and the common person, accord ing to a woman who has been working with psychic relation ships for 20 years. The elderly woman, who asked not to be identified, ap peared before a Tuesday eve ning NFU class, Applied Black Magic, and told of the dangers and rewards possible in making contact with those who have died. The lights stayed on and none of the 20 students who showed up for the class joined hands as the lady told them mat mediums were numer ous and the field of spirit con tact was vast. She said that she is a mem ber of a local religious orga nization that is founded on the doctrine contact with spirits, or mcdiumship. 'Our faith is the same as any other protestant church," she said. "Along with a regu lar worship, we have healing and message service." There is no end to what you can learn and what you can gain from mediumship if you know how to use it. the ladv saia. a siuaent can ask tor help and receive it from the spirits of people who have been in the same profession, she said. But contacting a medium can be dangerous, she said, if a person does not have a basic understanding of what he is doing. "If we don't understand those who can help us, bad spirits can slip in. That is why each of us has his pro tectors," she said. The wom an added that these protec tors are sometimes referred to as guardian angels. One phase of mediumshin called astrotravel could be par ticularly dangerous, she said. The woman explained that astrotravel occurs when a per son's spirit ti ascends his body and goes wherever the medium takes it, and then re turns that person's spirit to his body. If you don't know what you are doing, she said, you could ing up to him and touching him while he is in a trance. The woman, who claims she is both clairaudient and clair voyant (meaning that she can personally hear and see spirits), explained other phases of mediumship includ ing healing, independent voice photography, drawing and painting and trumpet. She said that when a per son has control of the trumpet phase, the medium is trained to speak through the trumpet which hangs suspended in the air as the spirit speaks. The woman also claims to have had a trumpet collapse in her lap during a seance only to rise into the air again and continue with the mes sage. She said that she believes in God and that all the phases of mediumship can be found in the Bible. There has to be j a supreme force to give us "all these wonderful things if we want to use them in the way they should be used," she said. No time on other side During a seance, one per son participating will not ne cessarily have the same ex periences as another, the woman said. She added that one thing should be remem bered: "on the other side there is no such thing as time." "If a prediction you re ceive does not happen today or tomorrow, that does not mean that it will not happen sometime in the future," she said. "It will happen when the time is right and when it will be to your own benefit." She told the students that they had "a room full of spir its" as they listened to her. But she added that since the discussion was open, there were so many vibrations that she could not single out any one spirit. The woman, who said that she had witnessed auras on a couple of occasions, told one of the young men that he had a yellow light above his head. The fellow skeptically said that it meant caution. When asked if the spirits could threaten a person's life, the woman answered that psychic relationships were nothing to fool with, and if a person is making light of something that is serious, the spirits "will certainly let him know about it." She said that there are all kinds of spirits that a person may encounter. Nearly ev eryone has an Indian or two used by his master teacher (who controls the medium) as runners to gather knowledge for the person, she added. The woman said she would return to conduct a seance if the student's colors became deeper and if they were real ly sincere. Steve Burdic, the course or ganizer, said afterwards that he is trying to line up an an thropologist to speak at next week's meeting. He had no comment on the future plans for a seance. Riekes Foundation offers scholarship The newly established John M. Riekes Foundation of Omaha has inaugurated a full-time scholarship program at the University of Nebraska to encourage creativity in the arts.
