A back-packing trip is being organized to the Grand Canyon and you can be a part of it! This is a totally non-academic trip (as opposed to Seminars West, scheduled for the second semester of summer school, and going to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone Park). This trip is just for the fun of it and is being arranged for us by Rocky Mountain Expeditions, the organization which set up the Canyon segment of last year's Seminars West. The trip, to be conducted between May 24 and May 31, is planned to re-cover a small part of last year's route and then strike out into new territory. There will be at least two lay-over days, in addition to the days of hiking, and a The technique of this practice requires no special postures or other require ments. The person merely sits comfortably in a chair, and spends 15 to 20 minutes twice daily, generally morning and evening, in Transcendental Meditation.

One week earlier than last year, this trip will again start off at the North Rim, descend the 5,000 feet to the Colorado River, and come out again on the North Rim. We will go to two of the tributaries of the Colorado, Deer Creek and Kanab Creek, examples of the amazing rivers that spring full-blown out of the walls of the canyon. These short creeks are literal "gardens in the desert", surrounded closely by cottonwoods, cane, many birds and small animals. The contrasts have to be seen...and felt...to be believ ed.

With the data of various studies and surveys, in areas where TM is practiced by at least 1% of the population, the crime rate has dropped,, and the incidents of accidents and sickness have also lessened. TM has been used in US prisons to help cut down on the incidence of drug usage. On January 12th, 1975, the Maharishi proclaimed the official "Dawn of the Age of Enlightenment". His goal is for at least 1% of the world population to be practicing TM. At present, over 400 cities worldwide have reached this percentage. The Maha rishi's philosophy is summed up as "A healthy individual indicates a healthy society. World peace begins with the individual. With stress in the system released through TM, the individual gains an orderly state of mind, and thus individual peace." Alan Lott commented that "there are physical and spiritual senses. The trip will cost SIBO for the entire time in the Canyon. You should supply your own boots, pack frame, sleeping bag. and personal gear, though many items are available for rent from Rocky Mountain Expeditions. If you are thinking seriously of coming along, talk to Don Gibbon, in the Geology Department, as soon as possible...and get those boots broken in! approximtely 15 to 20 practisers of TM on campus." Mr. Smith, who himself is an accredited teacher of TM, defended the financial aspect of the TM course. SIMS, the organization's name, is an educational and non-profit business. Course fees go to the basic maintenance of the organization.
