The^festern Carolinian The Voice of the Students 16 PAGES THURSDAY JAN. 25, 1979 Vol.XLIVNo. 18 CULLOWHEE, N.C. Scott 'mudhole' to remain for undetermined time The "mudhole" that has caused an eyesore for WCU students and faculty in front of Scott. Walker and Helder dormitories is going to be around for an undetermined time according to Physical Plant Director Jim Culp. The construction was supposed to have been completed by December 1, but due to extenuating circumstances, the construction has been delayed several times. One of the reasons Mr. Culp cited for the delays was the location of an underground water pipe conflicted with the digging, causing the construction crew to dig parallel with the water line. Mr. Culp also noted the crew was forced to change the elevation of that area because of the line, causing even further delays in the construction. Even though the school is not directly in charge of the construction, (the Department of Transportation is handling it) Culp said he is in touch with the crew every week. One of the major delays in the construction according to Mr. Culp was due to a run-in the transport, department had with the Environmental Protection Agency over a small tract of land below Cullowhee Creek that had been unused farmland for the past two or three vears which was considered a "natural habitat for wildlife." The department, after four months of discussion with the Environment Agency finally decided to buy another portion of land and establish it as a national preservative. Mr. Culp said that the whole incident "involved about three acres of land," and deemed it an unnecessary delay. Mr. Culp said that if that delay had been avoided, the construction that is now still going on would have been finished several months ago. The construction, part of the Highwary 107 relocation that will go into Sylva, is being delayed now according to Culp because of poor weather conditions. Culp said that Turn to Page 3, Please Dissident to speak A leading Soviet dissident who has lived in this country since 1972 will speak at the next meeting of the University Forum for Contemporary Issues, to be held at 7 p.m. Monday in the auditorium of the Natural Sciences Building. Lev Navrozov, Russian writer, scholar and satirist, will speak on the topic, "How Can the West Survive?...a Critique of Russia and the West." Navrozov worked as a translator in Russia, a position that gave him access to research materials. He wrote underground books in English, hoping to escape some day and publish them in the West. In 1972 he was allowed to visit Israel, and he continued on to the U.S., bringing his notes with him. He published the first volume of "The Education of Lev Navrozov," a proposed seven-volume cycle, in 1975. It was critically acclaimed and compared to Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago." Navrozov is a frequent contributor to "Commentary," a monthly publication of the American Jewish Committee. His article, "What the CIA Knows About Russia," in the September, 1978, issue advances the theme that CIA intelligence is naive and unreliable because it underestimates the Russians. inside today Photo by E.S.

Amazing Kreskin mystifies audience The Amazing Kreskin has Western Carolinian Photo Editor Lewis Greene in a quandry—Lewis couldn't carry a tune in a bucket until Tuesday night when Kreskin had him sing Happy Birthday for the rest of the audience. by LAURA WEST Staff Writer "The Amazing Kreskin" managed to thoroughly amaze a capacity crowd in Hoey Auditorium Tuesday night. A world reknown mentalist and expert in the field of psychic phenomena. Kreskin performed acts of "mind control" over members of his audience by mere power of suggestion. At one time, Kreskin would tell his audience he was known as a hypnotist. However, he now contends there is no such thing as hypnotism. Human beings are'not subject to fall into an altered state of mind. Although the subjects from the audience used in his act appear to be in a hypnotic trance, he says they are wide-»wake. The second half of Kreskin's three-hour show was devoted to concentrating on 38 volunteers from the audience. After calling them up on stage. Kreskin requested they raise their right arms and stretch their fingers as wide apart as they could. Then Kreskin told them that upon the count of three thev would be unable to close their hands. Indeed, only eleven of the group was able to close their hands, although all the subjects were trying desperately to close them. After the show, one of the volunteers, Mark Wilkins. was asked how it felt and was he really unable to close his hand. He replied. "It felt like there were springs between my fingers. And no matter how hard I tried I could not move my hand." Another request Kreskin made of his subjects was to close their eyes, telling them that they would at the count of three be unable to open them. Again, several of the subjects were unable to open their eyes. While the subjects still had their eyes closed, Kreskin informed the audience that when he snapped his fingers, the seated victims would feel a pinching sensation, causing them to jump from their seats. Several did feel the pinches and stated that with each snap of Kreskin's fingers the sensation grew stronger. Deciding to have a little fun with the subjects, Kreskin informed the audience that upon his asking "Do you know what today really is?" the volunteers would sing in a slow, loud, off-key voice "Happy Birthday." Again, when he asked the question, five or six of the remaining subjects did sing as Kreskin had said they would. Before letting them leave the stage. Kreskin asked how long thev thought they had been up there. Guesses ranged from five to 15 minutes. However, all were shocked when Kreskin informed them they had been there for 28 minutes. "That's impossible!" one subject retorted. Although they had appeared in a trance, subjects after the performance declared they had been awake and had heard all Kreskin told the audience as to his intentions for them. In the earlier portion of the show, Kreskin had paper passed out to all members of the audience on which he requested they all write down from eight to ten thoughts. Kreskin then ran through the audience distributing envelopes in which the slips of paper were placed. Leaving the envelopes in the audience, Kreskin returned to the stage and informed the audience that someone was thinking about a girl named Carol. After locating the member of the audience who was thinking of Carol, Kreskin proceeded to state facts about Carol which were confirmed as correct. Next, Kreskin explained the importance of imagination when trying to concentrate on a similiar thought with someone else. He asked the audience to think of a number between one and 50. Stating the number he had thought of. 37, a gasping audience Turn to Page 3, Please
