Visits the JOURNAL
Ellison Clary, a former
JOURNAL staffer and 1969
graduate of UNC-C dropped by
the JOURNAL office last Sunday
to warn all the non-veteran male
undergraduates about the
misfortunes presented by the U.
S. Army. Ellison went into the
Army on the OCS plan. He spent
the first six months of his tour of
duty in Fort Leonard, Missouri. A
former APO Ugly Man winner,
Mr. Clary is scheduled to embark
this morning for Fort Penning,
Georgia where he plans to drop
out of OCS and stick around as a
holdover. He expects to be sent to
Viet Nam shortly after his period
of holdover. Ellison, who was a
principle participant in an attempt
to censor the annual last year, said
that he did not look forward to
going to war. He advised aspiring
patriots to avoid the OCS.
Bowlers Slide
By Mark Klafter
Ttie University of North Carolina
at Charlotte bowling team
travelled to Fayetteville this past
weekend for the Dixie Conference
Bowling Tournament and met
with disappointment.
After finishing the regular season
in third place with a 16-14 record,
the 49er bowlers fell to a distant
fifth in the tourney.
A lack of consistency was the key
for UNC-C. The boys either
bowled very respectably or very
dismally, never quite being able to
string together several solid games.
In the team standing Methodist
was first, followed by St.
Andrews, Lynchburg, Charleston
and UNC-C.
In doubles matches Methodist
took first with a
1122 combination, St. Andrews
was second with a 1102 pins and
UNC-C finished third, with Bill
Crenshaw and Steve Kendrick
bowling a 1094 series.
In singles competition Ray
Chapman of Charleston finished
first with a 645 series, Charles
Siska of Methodist second with a
566 and Jerry Hensley of UNC-C
third with a 552 series,
highlighted by a 228 game.
For all-events honors Siska
finished first with a 1656 total
pinfall with Chapman finishing
second with 1649. Crenshaw of
UNC-C finished third with a 1532

University Cannery
Pop goes the top, zip goes the seal, and zoom we go down the
conveyor belt, on our way out of the cannery. It takes a minimum
of four years to properly condition a college student, to jam his
memory cells with data, to be forgotten no more than thirty days
after departure from the pressure cooker. The demands of an
industrial society force an individual to conform to an accepted
norm. Deviance is not allowed, and independent creative thought is
supressed vehemently.
One of the key factors separating man from his primate
ancestors is the ability to think abstractly. We possess a highly
developed brain, which allows us to relate information to
experience. Computers are able to store data more efficiently than
the human brain, and respond instantly with the requested
information. Somehow, after five years of intense study, 1 feel like
a living computer. 1 am told what to study (programmed), 1 study
and retain (storage), and 1 respond as requested, in the required
manner.
I am adept at multiple guess questions, and have become quite
proficient in spotting key words such as “all” in true-false
situations. My retention is limited, and my ability to “pile it on”
seems to have developed more successfully than my ability to relate
data.
As classes grow larger, it becomes more difficult for a professor
to allow discussion in class, and emphasis is placed on strictly
objective testing techniques. If the University was charged with
programming computers, this process would suffice; however, the
role of the University is much more complex. The leadership of the
societies of tomorrow is being educated in our schools today. It is
alarming to learn that the illiteracy rate in the magnificent Incan
Empire was 100%; but, by relating data, we also find that the
Incans had no written language. Data is of little use if the
circumstances are obscure.
Objective testing is more convenient for the professor. It is easy
to grade, and can often be graded by untrained help, but the net
yield for the student is often regretfully low. There is a growing
number of professors on the U.N.C.-C. campus who rely entirely on
objective tests, and require no outside work. Short term
memorization won’t work in graduate school, and society expects
us to be educated if we have a degree. Thankfully, there are still
professors who fervently believe that it isn’t the facts alone that
are important, but how they are related. Their students aren’t
expected to memorize textbooks, but are required to demonstrate a
knowledge of the principles and their relation to the material
studied.
Mr. Contemporary Professor, wherever you are, please accept a
tip of the editorial hat, and a sincere thank you for the many
hours you must have spent trying to decipher attempts to answer
questions such as: “Discuss the decline of the Roman Empire , or,
outline fully: the concept of moral philosophy for Kant. Your
efforts are helping to build a better America.

Mr. Ford answered many of the
questions that were passed up to
him. Others, he did not answer.
He said that there were “many
duplicate questions in the pile.”
There were. He spoke of Edgar
Casey and reincarnation and used
an explicit analogy to explain his
view of the mind-body
relatiorship. The mind, according
to Ford, is like energy. The brain
serves as transformer and the
body as wires and appliances.
Wlien the wires and transformer
are removed, the energy continues
to exist. He said that, in view of
both the recent and historical
evidence, the was “inclined to
accept” the doctrine of
reincarnation. He painted a rather
pleasant picture of the afterlife
and repeated the refutation of
Miltonistic or Dantesque
heaven/hell that many scientists
and metaphysicians have been
using tor centuries.
The eminent spiritualist dwelled
on the idea of life-after-death and
faith, relating the latter to healing.
He said that he knows Oral
Roberts well and that “since he is
a Methodist now, he must be
OK.” In closing. Ford related the
sequence of events that led to his
convesion of Bishop Pike to the
belief in the psychis, including the
famous broadcast of the seance in
which Pike spoke to his sucide son
through Ford. Speaking of
another est that Pike put him
through. Ford qouted Pike as
saying, “If Ford does this by
research methods, then he should
be made head of the C. 1. A.”
The lecture was presented by the
University’s United Religious
Ministry, which is directed at
UNC-C by Dr. Loy Witherspoon,
UNC-C Chaplin and Chairman of
the new Philosophy/Religion
Department here.
