Dr. Thelma Moss, prominent UCLA
para-psychologist, will be the speaker
at next week’s Tuesday Evening
Forum. She will use visual aids and
discuss “The probability of the Im¬
possible— Para-psychology . ’ ’
Dr. Moss is deeply involved in the
“dramatic and impressive” technique,
Kirlian Photography. This process
does not involved a camera but an
electrical current which passes
through a finger tip placed on a section
of film. When the film is developed it
usually shows richly colored, wavy
emanations around the finger tips.
sing Education Consultant, Board of
Registered Nursing in Los Angeles;
and Jean Clawson, health occupations
specialist, California Community
Colleges.
Madden says that “accreditation
allows other colleges and universities,
especially four-year institutions, to
have a line on what we're doing at
PCC. This way they know if they
should look at units individually or
accept them automatically.”
He expects the team’s report to be
completed in about a month following
the visit. It will then be submitted to
the Accrediting Commission which
meets in January, 1976.
Self-Expression
“Freedom and Self-Expression” will
be the topic of the Thursday 9 a.m.
roundtable discussion in the Forum.
Columnist Art Seidenbaum, Patricia
Finot, Cal State L.A. associate
professor of dance; and PCC teachers
John Basmajian, Dr. Ralph Hallman
and William Shanks will examine the
implications of the First Amendment,
how it has been used and what the
trends for the future are. This
discussion will be chaired by Miss
Suzanne Bravender, PCC associate
professor of art and David Schnabel,
PCC art professor.
Drs. Leary and Kipps pointed out
that each topic will have its own
identity: “The method of im¬
plementing each will be distinctive.
Also, for the first time, the campus
television and radio facilities will be
utilized to their maximum.
“Finally, we know our basic ob¬
jective. We wish to foster responsible,
thoughtful and enthusiastic citizen¬
ship."
A wrap-up discussion with faculty
chairpersons will be taped Thursday at
2 : 30 p.m . and broadcast live at various
campus locations. The wrap-up will
take a critical look at results of the
convocation.

DR. THELMA MOSS
. . . “Parapsychology”
These emanations are called
“auras” or “coronas.” The auras,
according to Dr. Moss, vary depending
on the emotional or physical state of
the subject.
She says that para-psychology talks
of events which are totally un¬
believable. “It says things happen but
we don’t know why they happen. It
considers thought as an energy. What
we need now is to look at these events
scientifically, to discriminate between
the fantasy and the reality.”
Dr. Moss attended Wellesley College
and Carnegie Tech majoring in drama.
After a 20-year career in theater,
motion pictures, and television, she
decided, as the result of an LSD ex¬
perience, to return to school. In 1959
she began at UCLA and received her
Ph D. in 1966. Since 1961 she has
published 38 articles and books.
She has lectured extensively on such
topics as hypnosis, altered states of
consciousness, creativity, acupunc¬
ture, skin vision and radiation field
photography. She has been a con¬
sultant for the National Air and Space
Administration (NASA), The Rand
Corporation, and the CIA on the
subject of Radiation Photography.
Dr. Moss says that the current
fascination with psychic things may be
due to a failure on the part of
traditional science. “We have been
dissectiong into smaller and smaller
parts until there is nothing to look at.
It's getting to a point now that maybe
we’re looking into the wrong end of the
microscope. Maybe the truth, the real
fascinating things of the universe, lie
within each one of us.”

The results of combining a wilder¬
ness emergency situation and an
inexperienced hiker can be disastrous.
Developing inexperienced hikers into
competent outdoor persons is the aim
of three unique PCC classes which
begin next week.
Backpacking, Wilderness Camping,
and Mountaineering (PE ACT57) will
be offered through the men’s PE
department. Long time explorer and
outdoorsman, Paul Sanders, will in¬
struct the classes.
Sanders, who is a member of the
Sierra Madre Search and Rescue
Team, will be conducting three
separate classes each week in room
M210. Each class will run nine weeks.
Backpacking, beginning November
17, will be held for nine consecutive
Monday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m. The
basic beginners course teaches the
skills and techniques that enables an
individual to safely and comfortably
handle any mountaineering situation.
Various camping equipment articles,
cooking, navigation, first aid and
planning are some topics covered in
this basic skills course. Included is one
Saturday and one weekend trip where
members of the class apply what they
have learned.
Wilderness Camping, beginning
November 18, will be held Tuesday
evenings from 7 to 9 p.m. This course,
a more advanced study of
backpacking, includes weather
reading techniques, fauna and flora
and emergency procedures. Survival
by the camper’s wits is stressed, as
opposed to survival by what’s in his
pack. This course also includes one
Saturday and one weekend of field
experience.
The Mountaineering class, begin¬
ning November 20, will be held on
Thursday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m.
This is the most advanced class and
will include the use of ropes. Students
will not learn rock climbing, but how to
tie knots, using ropes for such
necessities as getting across a river,
lowering a pack down a mountainside,
or rapelling over a waterfall.
Mountain geology, weather, rescue
and more sophisticated navigation are
included in this course. A Saturday and
a weekend of field experience are also
included.
Sanders recommends taking the
Backpacking class first, then
Wilderness Camping, and then the
Mountaineering class, because each
class serves as a building block for the
next. Each of the classes, offers one
unit of credit each, includes tests in
navigation and first aid, two areas
Sanders feels people have the most
problems with.
Ideally, once a student has com¬
pleted these three courses, he will have
the skills needed to go on to a Winter
Mountaineering course. A Survival
course, also to be offered later, is
another advanced course that one
would be ready for after Backpacking,
Wilderness Camping and Moun¬
taineering.
According to Sanders, the student
that completes all of these courses will
“be ready for the things that un¬
prepared people have serious problem
with,” Sanders, who has taught rock
climbing, survival, ski-touring,
mountaineering and wilderness
camping at several colleges and
universities, points out that he wants
“people to get off on their own and do
it.”
He continues, “I am appalled at
people’s fear of going out on their own.
Maybe they like the security of going
with someone who knows what they’re
doing. After the course, I like to break
the umbilical cord.”
Sanders’ courses are short-range
survival, which are for emergencies.
Also, people can relate to short-range
easier than long range survival.
