Gives Social Frats
the Final O.K.
\
Mr. ESP Will
Speak Here Today
at 11:30
David Hoy, Mr. ESP, is
lecturing today at I 1:30 in tlte
Parquet Room. Mis talk will be
concerned with the history,
theories, and practices of Extra
Sensory Perception.! le will also
comment on the research at
Duke, the secretive experiments
in ESP mind control which the
Russians are conducting, and the
status of parapsychological
research at American and
European universities. During
the performance he will perform
controlled psychic tests using
members of the audience as
subjects. The lecture will close
with a question and answer
period, and with Hoy giving
predictions of the future,
through ‘time projected
empathy", the same type
predictions which have proved
85% accurate in the past.
Mr. Hoy has recently been
very active in show business; he
has appeared on the Mike
Douglas Show, the Merv Griffin
Show, and American Bandstand,
to name a few. While not
appearing on television, he
lectured at such schools as San
Francisco State College, Florida
State University, the University
of Miami, and Stetson
University.
‘The only way you can
believe in ESP is when it
happens to you,” so says David
Hoy. Though no one has of yet
been able to explain the
individual differences in ‘Psi
Capacity", or ‘ESP IQ", Hoy
believes that both empathy and
rapport are extremely necessary
for the workings of this ability.
Many people today consider
psychic occurrences eerie and
enigmatic. Hoy maintains that it
was not this way with primitive
man. He can vision primitive
man with “some primordial
quasi-mental faculty, of which
ESP is a vestigial manifestion:
“For all we know, prehistoric
! men may liave used their minds
to communicate before learning
how to speak to each other.""
In addition to his lecturing
on television and at colleges.
Hoy has done research at
Sanford University of School of
Medicine to developc a test for
derma-optical perception (DOP).
These tests would determine if
blind people can receive
impressions of color and form
by using just their sense of
touch. He has also held round
table discussion groups, in which
he has experimented with
persons who have an extensive
degree of psychic ability.

On April 8, Chancellor
Colvard approved sqcial
fraternities and sororities on this
campus. The recommendation
was originally submitted to the
General Faculty by its Student
Activities Committee and passed
that body on March 14 of this
year, after repeated delays. It
was originally slated to appear
on their agenda before
Christmas vacation.
The Chancellor approved the
amended faculty resolution with
one addition and one
amendment.
In brief, the approved
resolution is as follows:
1. The administration will
“offer full support to students
who wish to form social
fraternities.” The fraternities will
receive full recognition when
they comply with the
procedures here being outlined
and with the other laws and
regulations which govern the
university.
They will also be subject to
the following procedures,
preferences and limitations;
(a) That prior to any
contract with the national office
of a professional, recognition, or
honor society, or social
fraternity or sorority, the
interested local group consult
with the Student Activities
Committee of the General
Faculty. The Student Activities
Committee will then seek
recommendations from the
Student Legislature and the
Department Chairmen in the
case of a departmental honor
society or professional
fraternity, the Vice Chancellor
for Academic Affairs, in the
case of a general honor society,
recognition society, or social
fraternity or sorority where
membership is based primarily
upon extra-curricular
achievement. After examining all
recommendations, the Student
Activities Committee shall make
its recommendation concerning
institutional approval for the
professional or honor society to
the appropriate Vice Chancellor.
(b) That a preference be
given to the establishment of
professional, recognition, and
honor societies permitting
membership of both male and
female students where such an
option exists within a particular
academic field or area of
interest.
(c) That except with the
express written approval of the
Committee on Student
Activities, the establishment of
professional, recognition, and
honor societies 'oe limited to
those which are currently
represented on our campus by
members of the faculty or
administrative staff holding
membership in them, and who
are also willing to serve as
procuring suitable housing and
that such housing have the
approval of the University
Administration before a
fraternity contracts for its use
or purchase.
4. That University regulations
applying to social events apply
to all social fraternity social
events.
5. That the University, in its
planning of campus and adjacent
property development, take
steps to set aside an area for
social fraternity housing.
6. That the University
provide advice to social
fraternities on preparing budgets,
initiating bookkeeping systems
and performing regular periodic
audits.
7. That only members of a
social fraternity paying full
University tuition be permitted
to live in a social fraternity
house,
8. That the University
recommend to the social
fraternities that they require all
of their officers to maintain
residence within the fraternity
house.
To the above, the Chancellor
ammended Title VI-Nondiscrim-
ination in Federally Assisted
Programs which states that no
person shall be discriminated
against because of race, creed or
color.
The two fraternities which
have had colonies on campus
while waiting for official
approval are Delta Sigma Phi
and Pi Kappa Phi. When
questioned concerning their
plans, now that they are officia
lly here, Mr. Wayne Eason, head
of the Delta Sig colony here
stated that their plans were
“indefinite.” Mr. Barr\ Ervin,
who heads the other colony
stated that before he issued a
statement, he would like to talk
with his national headquarters,
but that he would have one
prepared for the next issue of
the JOURNAL.

The General faculty of
UNC-C has voted to honor
Charlotte"s Harry Golden for his
contributions to journalism,
literature, and human relations.
Harry Golden Day will be held
on the UNC-C campus on May
nineteenth and will feature Mr.
William Targ, Mr. Golden’s
long-time editor and friend, who
is now editor-in-chief of G.P.
PutnanTs Sons, and Mr. James
J, Storrow, publisher of THE
NATION, which has long run a
series of columns by Mr.
Golden.
A committee, chaired by Dr.
Robert Wallace, has been
appointed to arrange Harry
Golden Day.
Swami Ranganathananda of
the Ramakrishna Order spoke
on campus last Friday to a
group of students and faculty
members. The swami’s topic was
“Man’s Spiritual Life in the
Light of Twentieth Century
Thought.” Ranganathananda
began by commenting that we
are now passing through a
spiritual crisis in which tension,
sorrow, and crime are the
manifestations of the human
mind. Science has given us
insight into both men and the
world around him, and we have
begun to see the nature of man
in a new way - not the old
physical way, but in a spiritual
way.
The toga-clad vegetarian
Hindu emphasized the oneness
of man with nature as opposed
to the traditional manner of
viewing man as holding a
privileged position in the order
ol creation. We must be^n to
recognize that the ego is not
the highest part of man. His
higher faculties lie in the level
beneath the ego, and the
psychic energy in man is the
faculty which we must strive to
increase. The divine essence of
man is to be found underlying
the nervous system, according to
the Vedanta. Control,
compassion, affection, peace,
and tranquility are some of the
goals sought by the Vedantic
Hindus. The proper realm of
man is ethics, but modern
mankind seems, according to the
swami, to be neglecting his
ethical nature.
Quoting Huxley,
Rangathananda spoke of Tlte
Science of Human Possibilities
as the true religion in which an
enlightenment of human
personality takes place.
Darwin has said that the
“survival of the fittest” is the
goal of nature; whereas, Huxley
has said that “the making of as
many as possible fit for
survival” is the proper goal of
nature.
The occasions for Harry
Golden Day are Mr. Golden’s
birthday on May sixth and the
June publishing his
autobiography THE RIGHT
TIME by Putnam’s Sons.
Daily spiritual growth must
be the goal of man. The swami
urged western man to seek the
ultimate reality and cease
playing around with the conflict
and competition that have
replaced real values in our lives.
The physical and intellectual
sides of man are obvious; the
spiritual element is far more
subtle. We must, however, seek
