He spent 22 months in that country as a consultant and advisor to high level government officials on public policy forobtainingagricultural and industrial development on the coast of Peru. During that period, Sanford also traveled extensively in Guatemala, promoting the role of agriculture in economic development* Dr. Rhine: we 'smother9 our ESP By DAVID HILL Who has the powers of Extra Sensory Perception (ESP)? According to Dr. J.B. Rhine, controversial expert in the field of ESP, everyone has the ability if they do not purposefully smother it. The Director of The Institute for Parapsychology (Durham, North Carolina) spoke to an audience numbering over 400 lastnight in A. K„ Hinds University Center. Rhine said that the only signs of any particular group having an overdose of the powers is in young children. Tests indi- KA's chain their cannon; prankster may be deterred The brothers of Kappa Alpha order lost their cannon recently. The Civil War replica showed up at the Tannery Flats Recreation area in Sylva on the morning of Sunday, July 16, put there by an unknown prankster. The cannon, which the KA's are fond of firing after the Catamounts score at WCU football games, was taken from the lawn of the Kappa Alpha House some time last Saturday night, July 15,, according to a fraternity spokesman. It was discovered behind the Mead Corporation early the next morning. The cannon is now securely chained to the lawn of the fraternity house on the old Cox farm. All except two of the fraternity members living in the KA House were away from Cullowhee the weekend the cannon was taken, and it was not missed at the fraternity house until a picture of the cannon appeared in the Sylva Herald the following Thursday. cate that ESP is generally stronger in younger children. "Something happens in the educational process that stymies one's perception of the powers," Rhine said. The speaker broke down the field of Parapsychology into two branches—ESP and Psycho- kinetics (the movement of physical objects by mental proces- ses). In ESP, the major areas are mental telepathy (transformation of mental images from person to person), clairvoyance, and premonition dreams. Of what importance are discoveries in Parapsychology? The former Duke University psychologist said that "it gives you a different picture of what man is and what his powers are." New evidence and proof is encouraging to Rhine and his co-workers and they are carrying on their research vigorously. He is quick to point out, CONTINUED Page 4 .... The summer's archaeology program at Western Carolina University is drawing to a successful end, according to Dr. John L, Dorwin, assistant professor of anthropology. Digging began during the first summer session at a site in the Caney Fork area, but a more massive effort was made at the football stadium construction site on Speedwell Road. Dorwin explained that the switch was made when building operations uncovered what appeared to be Cherokee relics. "We were racing against time," he said. "Although the construction people offered us every cooperation we had no idea of how long we would be able to continue to work.*' Dorwin said the Speedwell Road site uncovered what appeared to have been a late 18th Century Cherokee farmstead which had apparently been burned. He described the house as oval in shape, about 30 to 35 feel long, and 20 feet wide. "It is fascinating to speculate," he said, "that the home- site might have been burned by one of the early European expeditions into the area." Europeans didn't settle in this immediate area until the early 19th The group of workers also discovered a good deal of pottery, trade beads and several gun flints. Although there is still a limited amount of outdoor activity in progress at the two sites, Dorwin said, the major work at present is in the laboratory. "We have a quantity of material in the lab which we arc looking through to find any indication of maize agriculture." Because of the salvage nature of the Speedwell Road site, Dorwin said, the work was done more swiftly than desirable and often meant long working hours. We had 19 students out there and for 10 hours of credit they each put in about a 46 to 48 hour week. Their day began at 8 am and wasn't finished until 4 pm. They also put in three nights a week in the lab," he said. Many of the students were not from Western Carolina University. There were two graduate students from Wake Forest Uni= verstiy; one undergraduate from the University of Florida; one undergraduate trom i-ake Forest College, Lake Forest, 111.; several North Carolina secondary school teachers and one school principal. "These were just about the finest group of people I have ever had a chance to work with,*' Dorwin said. Dorwin said that one evening just about quitting time thev uncovered the edge of what eventually turned out to be a trash pit. He told the students to go ahead and quit, but he was going to continue work. "It wasn't long before a car returned and at least six students remained to work all night with me uncovering the pit. This is just an example of how much interest the pro- ject created among the students," The Archaeology program will be offered again next Faculty apt. bids open Western Carolina University will open bids August 16 on construction of a new faculty housing project, Bids opened last January on the project exceeded available An authorization of 8442,000 for construction of additional facultv housing was approved by the 1971 General Assembly on a self-liquidating basis. Designed b\ Fo\ and Lee, Waynesville architectural firm, the project consists of one building designed for 15 apartments and a smaller building of four units. The larger, three-story structure will contain 6 one- bedroom apartments ( 700 square feet of floor space), 6 two-bedroom units (1,000 square feet), and 3 three-bedroom units (1,300 square feet). The smaller structure will contain 4 two-bedroom apartments, each having more than 1,000 square feet of floor space. Each apartment also will include a living-diningarea, bath, utility room, hall and fully equipped kitchen. The units will be all-electric. Construction is planned on university-owned property near Camp Laboratory School adjacent to other faculty housing units. Drs. Pow, Eller named to Who's Who Two educators associated with Western Carolina University were named last week to this year's edition of "Who's Who In America." Dr. Alex S. Pow, who resigned early this year as president of WCU, has published in the fields of universityadministrationand development and state and local government. The former vice president of academic affairs at the University of Alabama has served as a consultant to state and federal agencies, higher education institutions in the Lnited States and abroad, phil- anthrophic foundations and private enterprise. Dr. J. Gerald Eller, dean of the School of Arts and Sciences at WCU, is a 1943 graduate of the University. In 1947 he joined the faculty at Western Carolina and has done extensive research inphotoperiodism.the study of responses of organisms to relative length of day or night, He has received rec- cognition in scientific circles for the excellence of his work.
