  • Tuesday, February 20, 1968 Last In A Series THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 3 WCU Student Tells Of Marijuana Trip BY A WCU STUDENT People often wish that particular phenomena didn't happen to them. When a phenomenon is, or appears to be, disruptive to a way of life or an established (deeply rooted) set of morals, a community is apt to sweep all mention or reference to it under the conversational rug and pretend that it doesn't exist. Marijuana is a phenomenon, It exists in Cullowhee, on and around the campus of Western Carolina University. Rather than recognizing , and thereby being forced to deal with it overt discussion of the use of local marijuana has been avoided. Thus, this article is a first person experience with marijuana at Western Carolina University, It does not advocate or imply British Isles Study Program Offered Would you like to study in the British Isles this summer? The Institute of International Education announces that it is accepting applications of candidates for 1968 summer study in a joint program offered at Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon and at the two capital cities of London and Edinburgh. A limited number of scholarships are also being offered to qualified Americans between 20 and 35 years of age. All programs are administered by the HE. The summer school opportunities in Great Britain include a choice of subjects and his- torial periods, with study to be carried out at the appropriate university concerned. Shakespeare and Elizabethan drama will be studied at Stratford- upon-Avon; the history, literature and arts of seventeenth- century England will be the subject of the Oxford School; twnetieth-century English literature will be the theme at the University of London; and history, philosophy and literature of the period of Enlightenment in Britain will be presented jointly by four Scottish Universities at the University of Edinburgh. The programs of the Universities of London and Edinburgh are new ones being offered for the first time. The Universities of Birmingham, London and Oxford will hold their sessions from July 8 to August 16; the University of Edinburgh from July 1 to August 12. Despite the devaluation of the pound, the fees, which include room, board and tuition, will be $312 at the Universities of Stratford and London; $336 at Oxford; and $300 at the University of Edinburgh. Courses for all four university summer sessions are designed for graduate students, including teachers in universities and schools. Undergraduates who will have completed their junior year by the time the summer school opens may apply. Further uuormauon and applications for these British summer sessions may be obtained from the Counseling Division, Institute of International Education, 809 United Nations Plaza, New York, N.Y. 10017. Completed scholarship applications must be received at the Institute by March 1; applications for admission by March 30, 1968. Travel arrangements to and from Europe are the responsibility of each student. necessity for a solution, nor does it pretend to isolate what many would term a problem: instead, it simply recognizes the existence of marijuana here, First of all, I'm not much of a pot smoker. I've only smoked it twice, both times at Western, and neither time had I any idea where it came from, The point is, it got to Cullowhee. The first time, 1 tried too much and floated around until I got sicker than a dog. But it was great while it lasted. I was smoking with somebody who had infinitely more experience with it than I, and he showed me how to get the most out of each drag. The floating began after we had passed the pipe around about three times—there were three of us—-and I sat there and drifted, just drifted, with my eyes closed while the pipe made the rounds again. It was good just to sit there, because every time I moved or touched something, my whole body tingled like when your foot falls asleep and then wakes up, Then I felt this compulsion to walk. So I walked, back and forth across a hard floor and here, I guess, was where the floating started, because I felt as if I was walking ^r bouncing softly along on about a foot of foam rubber or cotton. And all this time, while the floor was being so soft and gentle, I had the impression that everything was very, very far away and at the same time, fantastically crystal clear. Sounds, particularly , came from a long way away, but they were sharp and clear and almost brittle. Like when you look through the wrong end of a telescope—tiny, but distinct in every detail. Voices and laughter and other sounds, were all bell-like and I found myself wondering why it wasn't muffled by the foam rubber I was walking on. That was about all I remember from the first time, because as I said earlier, it came to an end rather suddenly—and violently, for that matter. It may have had something to do with the fact that I had been drinking lightly beforehand, as well as psychological factors. I recovered later the same night and remember only being very, very sleepy, The next morning was a revelation. I was still groggy, since marijuana is a depressant much like liquor,but therewere none of the morning-after effects you get from alcohol. In fact, for me, it was never a bit like liquor largely becasue of sharp awareness of things while they were going on. The second time—well, the second time really wasn't much of an experience simply because there wasn't quite enough pot to go around. There was a brief lift, or high, and a feeling of general well-being, but nothing a- side from that. All this happened a couple of months ago, and I haven't had an experience with marijuana since then. I in no way regret the experiences I did have with it, however, particularly since 1 was more than grateful for the opportunity to escape. So there is no moral to Uiis story. It is just that I smoked pot at Western. Lassie is being used as a symbol of the national anti- littering campaign, perhaps the highest government office ever held by a female impersonator. Professor Stanf ordConducts ESP Research At WCU By GAIL SAUNDERS Did you know that every person has ESP in one degree or another? "On the basis of lab experiences, we believe that everybody has ESP," Dr. Rex G. Stanford, a WCU parapsycholo- gist and expert on Kxtra sensory perception, said recently. "Some people have more ESP than others, of course, "he con tinued, "But we believe that many animals also have it. In this respect, ESP is no different from any other abi • lity such as hearing or MC ing." Although Dr Stanford lias been experimenting vvitli ESI' since his hi^h school days, he pointed out Uiat the field of parapsychology is still fairly new. Since oUier phenomena which were unexplained when discovered have since been understood, parapsvcholoKists hope someday to explain KM', and to discover what laws, if any, it operates by, Parapsychologists believe that there are forms of ESP which have been demonstrated in the laboratory, according to Dr. Stanford. These three forms are thought transference, ESI' of objects or events, or foreknowledge of future events. This last form overlaps the other two and allows a person to "just know" what will happen in Uie future or what people will think, according to the professor. I hi Uie basis of research, Dr, Stanford said that ESP BD pears to operate independently of distance, and does not con duct itself with any type radio wave or an) other form of energj we know of. "As of yet," he said, "there is no theory to explain it." It is thought that ESP oper ates at an unconscious level, which explains how a person possessing it |ias »° Insight into how he "just knows" things, "ESP experiences occur in many ways," Dr, Stanford said, "Frequently it occurs as a thought which just comes to mind, making it difficult to know an ESP thought from a normal thought process. "However, when a thought comes to mind which somehow seems 'odd' or out of place, it is a fairly good indl- eation Uiat it could be an ESP thought." Some unusual factors of the ESP phenomenon include the fact that people who believe they have ESP do better in the lab tests than those who don't, and a person who is well-adjusted socially is more likely to m ike a good ESF subject than one who is not. Dr. Stanford also noted that, "People who are rather creative or artistically inclined seem to possess it more than other people." Dr. Stanford's early work with this subject was in the area of personality and atti- CONTINUED Page I Don't Miss Schulman's of Sylva's Big "George Washington Birthday Sale"!!!!
