Self-proclaimed psychic, dream reader
and clairvoyant AEene Cunningham says
she has not crossed the fine line between
being psychic and schizophrenic because
she uses her .powers for good causes,
Those powers include the ability to
read the energy field, or "aura, which
she sees around people, Cunningham said.
Cunningham, a Wichita native, former
singer and author of a new book, Heaven
Sent, was in Lincoln this week to give
private counseling sessions. She gave advice
to callers on area radio stations and
appeared before about SO people at the
Lincoln Hi ton Hotel Wednesday.
She saia she can make predictions,
advise people on money, personal matters,
careers and sexual relations by reading the
aura that comes from them.

She said she couldn't see an aura coming
off everyone all the time because psychic
powers cannot be forced. People must
relax and wait for them.
She said her service will not create any
miracles, isn't magic and must be used to
serve.
She said many people do not believe in
her. However, she said this doesn't bother
her because she ft used to criticism, even
when some persons call her a "koek."
She said people though Einstein and
Edison were crazy, but they later proved
they knew what they were doing. She has
developed her powers over a number of
years and now is touring the country
talking to people in person and on radio
programs.
Her first experience was typical for a
person with psychic powers, she said. It
was a vivid dream, in which she saw her
father die although he had not been EL
A few days later, Jio died of a stroke, she
said, and that convinced her she had
dream interpreting power.
She said she learned to not cultivate her
psychic powers, but to let them grow
naturally. People don't realize they have
psychic powers until after they have taken
an "astro flight," she said, which is an
involuntary dream state. Following that,
psychic powers grow gradually, she said.
Acra is energy
Cunningham said she soon realized the
aura she saw really was energy coming
from the god who lives in each person.
"Our mind controls our energy," she
said. "This energy is sent out through pro
jections. These form the aura, which comes
from within and determines people's lives.
That determination is done by the god
in us. He makes decisions through our
creative mind, which comes out through
our aura."
She said these aurssre what attract one
person to another and indicate personality
and sexuality.
She said most persons come to her with
family or money problems. One of the
most common question is how to make
money or plan a career.
I tell them there are no short cuts, that
a person must take action," she said. "I tell
people they can do anything they want to
do, can be nrything they want to be. It's
all a matter of what they choose.
"Hard work is not what gets things
done. It is the right thoughts that gets
things accomplished. With the right aura,
a person can attract those good ideas."

pport SAB handbook
By Scott tVbitcoia&
UNL students will have an opportunity to become
better informed about financial scholarships offered
next semester with the help of a student handbook put
out by the Student Alumni Board (SAB).
But two administrators say they are hesitant to support
thehandbook.
Kathy Olson, SAB coordinator, said the handbook
will be a detailed guide to help students become more
aware of financial aids and grants.
There is nothing like this (student handbook) avail
able right now except the list that high schools receive
of financial scholarships offered here," Olson said.
John Scharf, chairman of the committee to organize
the handbook, said it would increase the students aware
ness of financial scholarships available to them, therefore
increasing the likelihood of submitting an application.
Administrators Apprehensive
"It could help faculty advisers tremendously when
informing students what is offered here, as well as high
school advisers," Scharf said.
Olson said it would be too difficult and expensive
to distribute 20JD0D copies of the booklet.
"We will concentrate on distributing the handbook to
advisers in the different departments here on campus,"
Olson said. J w - '-" ''-' '
"Well also concentrate on distribution to high schools
around the state, especially those with a high rate of
enrollment at UNL."
The committee has heard a few negative comments,
Olson said. saM the Financial Aids Office is con
cerned that the handbook will change the process of ap
plication. ''Currently, when students submit an application to the
Financial Aids Office, they don't specify which scholar
ship they wast," Olson said.
Merest enhanced
They (Financial Aids Office staff members) are afraid
that by listing all available scholarships specifically, more
students will apply for a certain one," she said.
Olson and Scharf said they wanted to stress that the
procedures for application would not be changed by the
handbook, but would enhance the interest of students.
Jack Ritchie, director of scholarships and financial
aids, said he is In favor of the concepts of the hand-,
book," bat is a little apprehensive about the financing
and work involved.
"I have talked with SAB members and I think the
handbook is a good idea," Ritchie said. "However, I
don't know where the money is going to come from."
' QztZzted qtidJy - '
The last half of the year at the Financial Aids Office
is operated in the red," he said, "so we cant afford any
additional costs such as the handbook."
Ritchie said the handbook would become outdated

quickly and his office could not take the time to keep the
scholarship list up to date.
All financial scholarships go to the NU Foundation,
except those administered directly by the university.
The Foundation then reports all scholarships to the Fin
ancial Aids Office. " ' ,
Herb Potter, secretary of NU Foundation, said he too
was apprehensive about the handbook. - '
"We are not against it," Potter said, "but they must
realize that it wiH become outdated wry quickly."
Potter said the foundation is in charge of receiving and
allocating scholarships.
"Some scholarships are renewable every year," Potter
said, "so they (SAB) will have to incorporate an updating
procedure."
Scharf said SAB would plan to renew the book every
year, "so the first issue will just be an indicator as to
what is available."
Olson said the handbook committee hasnt given
extensive thought to financing yet, but is "just concen
trating on compiling information right now."
"We hope that the administration will be convinced
the handbook is a worthwhile project so they will help us
with financing," Olson said.
The handbook has a tentative deadline of Dec. 10,
Olson said.
"If it is not done by then," she said, "It will definitely
be completed by the deadline for second semester finan
cial aid applications."
