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.

THE

IN '68:
eugene McCarthy
for President
He was there when we
needed him!
out on his behalf. H won
"If was awfully lonely in New Hampshire'
The polls said 10. No national figure dared speak
42.5, and broke a closed race wide open.
He has shown courage, intelligence and honesty. He has inspired new faith in the
possibilities of the democratic process. He is the new hero of the young.
If you find him a refreshing figure on the presidential scene
If you admire his standing up when thin gs looked hopeless
So do millions of others!
But has he a chance to win nomination? If you thing ha has not, and act on that,
then he hasn't.
We think we owe him a chance, and that there are enough of us who think to to
give him a chance. If we act on that, we will make him his chance. That's what
democracy is all about.
Eugene McCarthy has won our support now he needs our work and our money.
He is the man who showed that something could be done. He wants your support.
Con you refuse him?
Join the cause. It will take much money and hard work. But it will be rewarding!
Eugene McCarthy is a man you like to work for, a man you admire, a man you can
trust!
