Medicine Man travels world healing the sick
By STEVE FERGUSON
SlaH Writer
There is no such thing as an incurable
disease, only diseases we haven't
discovered a cure for yet, Indian
Medicine Man Rolling Thunder said
Monday night.
Rolling Thunder a Cherokee Indian,
spoke in the Great Hall in a program
sponsored by the Carolina Union Human
Relations Committee.
The Medicine Man lives in a camp in
the Nevada desert, and travels all over the
world speaking on the powers of herbs in
medicine, life in a camp that is almost
self-sufficient, and use of the Great Spirit
in his healing practices.
"There is no charge for my healing,"
Rolling Thunder said, "because it's all
the Great Spirit's power." He said he col
lected herbs and berries for his medicine,
and modern science is discovering over
and over again that they do have
medicinal value.
"When they do more research, they'll
learn what we natives have known for
10,000 years or so," he said.
He cited as an example a plant he had
collected in the desert which had a natural
penicillin in it, but with no side effects.
Rolling Thunder also uses thunderwater,
which is rain collected during a
thunderstorm, in his medicine. "I make
the strongest medicines in the world," he
said, adding, "I'm very modest."
Rolling Thunder said he had always
taught people that happiness was
therapeutic, and doctors had told him
that people who were happy got cancer 50
percent less often than people who are
not happy. . " .
He said the people of his camp in
Nevada celebrate birthdays with big
feasts, singing and dancing to promote
happiness. They don't celebrate
Christmas, the Fourth of July or Colum
bus day.
His camp is named Meta Tantax,
meaning "to go in peace." The area is
very dry and in some places there isn't a
tree for miles around, so visiting North
Carolina is like visiting a jungle, he said.
They recently dug a fruit cellar at the
camp with a connecting passage to a well,
so that the cool air from the well would
keep the temperature cool in the fruit
cellar. "We call that Indianeuity," Roll
ing Thunder said.
A sign posted at the entrance to the
camp reads: No drugs, no alcohol, no
firearms, no violence. The Medicine Man
said anyone who couldn't adhere to those
rules was sent out of the camp.
"People come from all over to see us
grow things where they said things
wouldn't grow," he said. They came
from all over the world to work and live
in the camp. No discrimination is made
regarding race or religion, as long as one
is willing to work.
"We get no government help, no
welfare, and we don't want it," he said.
The camp even provides education for its
children.
Rolling Thunder said his people fully
believed in education and felt their kids
were probably three years ahead of
children of the same age in the public
school system. "Everything in the school
relates to nature in some way."
He asked his audience to continue lear
ning, no matter what age. "When we
stop learning, that's when we get old and
die."
Hustler publisher screams obscenities at High Court
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON -1- Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt
was forcibly removed from a Supreme Court session Tuesday
after he screamed obscenities at nine justices.
The justices had just finished hearing arguments in the first of
three libel disputes when Flynt screamed at them from the au
dience section of the majestic courtroom.
" this court! You denied me the counsel of my choice!"
Flynt shouted as police surrounded him and rolled his gold
plated wheelchair away. N
He was still hurling invectives at the bench when a red-faced
Chief Justice Warren F. Burger rose from his chair and told an
assistant marshal, "Inform the marshal to take that man into
custody."
Flynt was arrested and charged with impending the ad
ministration of justice, a federal offense carrying a maximum
penalty of one year in prison and a $5,000 fine. He was released
by a U.S. magistrate on his own recognizance.
The court had denied Flynt permission Monday to represent
himself in a case pitting his sexually explicit magazine againstt
Kathy Keeton, vice president of competing Penthouse
magazine.

Evaluations show most had good time
Students, faculty respond positively on evening
By BEN PERKOWSKI
SaffWriw
The reactions from students as well as faculty members
were positive following Sunday night's An Evening with the
Profs.
"We are tremendously happy with the feedback we've
received so far from both students and faculty,"said Jon
Reckford, chairman of the Special Projects Committee
which sponsored the event.
Reckford said that nearly 300 students met with 45 pro
fessors and administrators in groups of about 15-20 students
per house. Most of the houses were hosted by two faculty
members and a student coordinator. Cookies and apple cider
were provided by the committee.
The major theme of the two hour meetings was student
faculty interaction, but conversations moved through a wide
range of topics. "The enthusiasm and attendance were truly
outstanding," Reckford said. "It Appears that everyone en
joyed themselves." "While some students very much en
joyed just meeting and talking with a professor in an infor
mal setting, others were particularly interested in the discus
sion of student-faculty interaction."
Reckford added that members of the committee and other
student leaders involved in the event would get together and
discuss plans for something similar in the future. Evaluations
which were taken from all participants after the meetings,
will point to which areas should be emphasized in any future
event, he said..
"We hope this will be a kickoff for many more such
events," Reckford said.
Joseph Hall, a student coordinator and member of the
"Gerald
a great
committee, said the evening went fantastically.
Unks was really open with us and we had
discussion," he said. Unks is an associate professor in the
School of Education.
Hall said that Unks gave the students some tips on break
ing the ice with professors in their offices. "He said for
students to pick something in the room that is incongruous
with the rest of the office and comment on that," Hall said.
Lars Schoultz, associate chairman of political science, said
that he felt very positive about the evening and that all the
professors he had spoken to enthusiastically supported the
entire concept of more student-faculty interaction.
Schoultz said the discussion centered on what type of rela
tionship was appropriate between a professor and a student.
In his opinion, the focus of conversations between students
and professors should be in an area enjoyable for both."
Schoultz added that he looked forward to the re-opening
of Lenoir Hall as a nice place to grab a cup of coffee and
have the opportunity to converse with students in a relaxed
atmosphere.
Junior Lucia Halpern, Carolina Union president, said she
was very pleased with her group's meeting with James
Cansler, associate vice chancellor of Student Affairs, and
Lujean Desaix, lecturer in the biology department.
Halpern added that she thought everyone felt comfor
table. "Our conversation soon drifted off just faculty
student interaction and we began discussing Reagan,
Grenada, Lebanon and anything that came up," she said.
All of the evaluations of the evening indicated an interest
in doing something similar in the future, she said. "Both the
professors and students overwhelmingly agree they would
like to do it again."
