A Duke University professor and
Shroud of Turin scholar says new
research dates the shroud, consi
dered by some to be the burial cloth
of Jesus Christ, to 30 A.D. and
refutes claims that the cloth is a 14th
century fraud.
Dr. Alan D. Whanger, professor
of psychiatry and member of the
Association of Scientists and Scho
lars International for the Shroud of
Turin (ASSIST), said these findings
showed that the facial image on the
shroud provided a model for depic
tions of god-like figures such as
Aron, Zeus Kyrios and Buddha.
Through his study of early images
and artwork, Whanger said, he
noticed the sudden appearance of an
artistic style known as "frontality,"
or showing the subject head-on
rather than in the traditional profile.
Whanger and his co-researchers
found 79 points of congruence
(places where objects reflect one
another) between the shroud and a
carved relief of Zeus Kyrios which
bears a 3 1 A.D. inscription. This date
is one year after the date considered
by many historians and theologians
to be the time of Christ's crucifixion.
As many as 105 points of congru
ence between the shroud and a third
century depiction of Christ from the
Roman Catacombs were found at
Aurelli.
"Forty-five to 60 points of con
gruence are sufficient to establish the
identity of face images in a court of
law," Whanger said.
Whanger added that history
offered evidence that the shroud,
which has remained at Turin, Italy
since 1578 and is only brought out
once a generation, would have been
accessible to the artists of the area.
A book by Eusebius, known as
the "Father of Ecclesiastical History,
refers to King Abgar V, who reigned
over a small city-state in northern
Mesopotamia from 13 to 50 A.D.,
and his connection to Jesus.
Abgar, stricken by an incurable
illness thought to be leprosy, wrote
a letter to Jesus in Palestine inviting
him to come to his city and heal him.
It was speculated that the shroud
of Jesus was folded into eight
thicknesses so that only the face
showed and was mounted in a frame,
forming a Mandylion, or "image not
made with the hands." The Mandyl-

ion was then given to Abgar.
Abear required that everyone
honor the miracle-working image of
Christ; but after his death, his son
sought to destroy the image and
persecute Christians.
The Mandylion was then secretly
passed around and eventually was
obtained by the de Charney family
in France who brought it into public
view in 1356 A.D. This is how some
scholars explain its sudden "appear
ance" in the 14th century.
The evidence from the shroud and
the appearance of frontality in art,
changed the depictions of the char
acters of the gods, Whanger said.
Depictions of Christ also abruptly
changed, he said. "His appearance
went from that of a 'boy scout' to
a bearded figure."
Although crucifixion was a com
mon means of execution during the
time, Christ's crucifixion is the only
case recording a crown of thorns and
legs which were not broken, Wanger
said. On examining photographs of
the full-length shroud, Whanger
notes that there is distinct evidence
of puncture marks and spots of
blood around the head, where the
crown of thorns was pressed. In
addition, the legs of the body
depicted on the shroud were not
broken.
"Crucifixion causes a swelling of
the rib cage which leads to suffo
cation," Whanger explained. Victims
whose legs were broken had no way
of pushing themselves up on the
cross in order to inhale, so they died
more quickly.
Also, in the photographs of the
shroud, Whanger found signs of nose
dislocation, over 125 whip or scourge
marks, nail wounds through the feet
and wrists (not palms) and a large
puncture wound through the rib
cage.
The image on the shroud,
Whanger said, could not have been
painted, because the shroud is too
thin.
"It would take 200,000,000 volts
of energy (possibly by a process of
heat application) to produce that
image on a shroud, which they
obviously didn't have access to back
then," he said.
The Shroud of Turin has been
preserved in the Cathedral of St.
John the Baptist and has been
displayed publicly only three times
this century.

Child sexual atomise semiiiuurf o toe held April 12
By MICHELLE EFIRD
Staff Writer
The UNC School of Education is
currently helping to sponsor an upcom
ing workshop for area teachers and
citizens to help young children become
less vulnerable to sexual abuse.
The "Sharing Caring Seminar" will
take place April 12 from 8:30 a.m. to
3:45 p.m. at Grey Culbreth Junior High
School as a part of Child Abuse
Prevention Month. The seminar will
feature 27 workshops.
Presentations will deal with a variety
of topics concerning children from self
expression through dance, art and
music, to curriculum on sexual abuse
prevention.
Representatives from area agencies
such as schools, social services, rape
crisis centers and day-care centers will
present the workshops. Local profes
sionals were chosen so that participants
would be able to reach them after the
seminar.
According to Lynda Baddour, a
certified trainer in the prevention of
child sexual abuse, much of the seminar
will focus on a child's normal develop
ment between birth and grade four.
Baddour said this understanding could

with 94Z auctioneering. "I think that's
going to be one of our biggest draws,"
he said.
Megan Moran, APO's publicity
chairwoman, said that at last year's
auction, Great Hall was always three
quarters full, with about 400 to 500
people present at all times.
APO's president Bruce Cox said
Campus Chest was the fraternity's main
charity event. All the resulting monies,
he said, would be divided among 12
charities.
"Any money we say is for APO and
Campus Chest goes to charity," he said.
"That's the difference between us and
other fraternities."
Campus Chest began in 1949 and
once involved every fraternity on
campus, Cox said; but in 1968, the
student legislature turned it over to
APO. "Fraternities now have their own
fund raisers," Cox said.

help educators detect when a child is
deviating from the norm.
Much of the workshop will deal with
the fact that sexual abuse is not such
a mystery anymore, Baddour said.
Research has shown that teachers are
doing many beneficial things against
child sexual abuse, and their actions
simply need to be reinforced, she said.
Research also indicates, she said, that
preventive measures were needed "to
help nurture the non-victim as well as
the non-offender."
Susan Spalt, health coordinator for
Chapel Hill-Carrboro Schools, said,
"National statistics indicate that one out

a goal had been set for the auction, Cox
said. APO is hoping to exceed last year's
total of about $2,500 by $500 or more,
he said. The fraternity's goal for all
charity events is $9,000, of which $5,500
was gained through an earlier "Bare

auction.
Moran said APO received many
donations from celebrities, including
Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicklaus, Johnny
Carson, Geraldine Ferraro, Robert
Redford and Kenny Rogers.
Area businesses give various articles
also, she said, including gift certificates,
food, clothes, flowers, luggage and
backpacks.

them donate something."

include self-esteem and peer relation

Ponder said one of the biggest sale
draws in past years has been the Tar

basketball, which sold for $200 last year
and for $600 in 1983.
Moran said besides the sports equip
ment and celebrity paraphernalia, most
of the articles came in packages which
usually sold for $20, depending on bids.
If any one besides a student was
bidding, she said, the price usually was
higher.
"I got a haircut, a six foot sub and
a pizza for $21," she said; a sub that
size usually costs about $45. Many
different packages are available, she
said.
During the Campus Chest auction,
Moran said, the winner of the Ugly Man

members will discuss the sexual abuse
reporting process and what to do after
reporting an incident.
Other sponsors of the seminar include
the Safety Haven of Orange County,
the Orange County Department of
Social Services and the Orange County

Baddour said sponsors would like to
see 150 to 200 participants at the
seminar, but there was no indication of
how many were expected to attend yet.
Also in April, as a part of Child
