The Clarion would like to
apologize to the committee of
Brevard’s “Religious Emphas
is Week” for the errors that
were unknowlingly made in
last week’s paper. Corrections

Russ Burgess a phenomenal
parapsychologist who has be
come a popular speaker on many
coUege campuses will present
his lecture demonstration on
ESP at Brevard College in Dun
ham Auditorium, Feb. 26.
Mr. Burgess, a psychic who
is a skeptic, gives his audience
an unorthodox look at Extra
Sensory Perception but with all
the misconceptions and false
teachings removed. He not only
reads the unspoken thoughts
of others but he answers his
subjects with a knowledge that
is baffling. He has a standing
offer of $10,000 for the person
who can prove that his demon
stration is anything but au
thentic. Mr. Burgess claims
that he works best with about
40% of the persons in his aud
ience and is usually correct in
about 85% of his predictions.
After years of experimenting,
he does not approach the sub
ject of ESP in a fanatical fash-
" ion with wild claims, but in
stead he gives his audience a
true picture of what can and
cannot be expected from Ex
tra Sensory Perception, back
ed up with unscrupulous scien
tific investigation.
commanding the attention of
scientists all over the world.
For all those interested in this
controversial, but intriguing
subject, Mr. Burgess’ lecture
demonstration is a must.

successful ... he indeed does
possess remarkable powers of
ESP.”
A member of Trinidad State

this was the finest convocation
ever held on our campus. He
will be hard to follow.”
Art Department
Displays Student
Work In Galleries
Brevard’s Art Department
now has on display selections of
work completed by both fresh
man and sophomore art stud
ents during the first semester.
On the right as the viewer
enters the front door are ex
amples of freshman drawings
from fall semester 1969. The
drawings exhibit a wide range
of approaches to both natural
visual phenomena, such as
landscape and imaginative prob
lem solving techniques in areas
of composition involving the
emphasis of certain plastic ele
ments; such as line, form, tex
ture, space, picture planes, and
value.
The sophomore painting ex
hibits are on the left as the
viewer enters. It shows the art
student’s responses to prob
lems involving space, texture,
value, and color in interrelat
ed compositions based on syme-
trical and asymetrical geometry.
The upstairs gallery displays
the work of the freshman de
sign class. Examples are shown
from selected problems, which
range from calligraphy to
graphic images involved in
coded symbols and visual com-
munications, respectively.
