April 3, Little green men here again By Chuck Starfish Well, the rumors are again flying that the little green 'crit ters' made another appearance at Behrend. The truth is that Mr. Stanton Friedman, nuclear physicist and ufologist, gave his second lecture in Erie Hall last Wednesday. Talking to a large crowd containing all ages, Mr. Fried man explained why he believes that earth is being visited and investigated by extraterrestial beings, feasibility of space travel by humans, and the secrecy concerning the UFO issue. Mr. Friedman spoke for two hours to a very receptive audience. He carefully and methodically showed how such official reports as the • Condon Report and Project Blue Book have ignored evidence or slanted it to fit the official position. It seems as if our friends in the Defense Department think it best that we ddn't find out the real truth. In the lecture itself, one of the most interesting ca'ses was the incidence in New Hampshire involving the Barney Hills. It is reported that while driving home from Canada, this couple was captured and experimented upon by "critters"—as Mr. Friedman jokingly calls them. Numerous psychological tests seemed to confirm their study. Mrs. Hill was able to recreate a "map" of certain stars that she said she saw in the spaceship. After some time, an astronomer in California was able to fit the map on a three dimensional model of the universe and show how the stars on the map were ones that scientists believed are able to sustain life. Mr. Friedman thinks that this is a map of interstellar trade routs. This case is still unsolved at this time. The complete story is told in the Dec. 1973 edition of Astronomy Magazine. Bowling Tournament The bowling team to represent Behrend at the annual Penn State University Inter-campus tour nament has been decided. The intramural champion team of Zelda 111 was defeated by a team of independent students. The roll off was held last Saturday at Eastway Lanes. The team to go on to Dußois, Pa. for the tourney is comprised .of Leon Daniels, Tim Slaven, Craig Stone, Joe Warick, and Steve Felege. Their scores were impressive, and should give us a good shot at some honors among the other PSU campuses. Attention Women! Erie Hall will be open for activities of your choice: Slimnastics Gymnastics Badminton etc. From: 8-10 p.m. March 17, 20 ; 24, 31 and April 2,7, 9, 14, 16 THE ERIE BOOK STORE 717 FRENCH STREET 452-3354 Another highlight of his lecture was the case of the fourteen year old boy who reportedly saw an actual flying saucer on his farm in lowa. The disc was also seen by police, the boy's parents, and other members of the com munity. On the spot where the saucer landed was left a round, brown spot. The soil glowed for a number of nights thereafter. The boy's mother put her hand on the spot and had a numbness for two weeks. Samples of the soil were examined and it was found that it had qualities not found in lowa, or any soil. In the lecture, Mr. Friedman showed how official reports are slanted. Project Blue Book reported that 97 per cent of sightings are identified and the other 3 per cent probably could be. Mr. Friedman, however, divides up the reports into four categories, according to the witnesses. They are either ex cellent, good, doubtful, or poor. Of the excellent witnesses, an amazing 93 per cent are unidentified. Mr. Friedman's background is quite impressive. He holds Bachelors and Masters degrees from the University of Chicago, plus fourteen years of actual experience with nuclear aircraft, nuclear powerplants, and fusion and fission engines. He has worked for Westinghouse, General Electric, and three nuclear engine companies. He.is a member of a number of organizations, including the prestigious American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronaunts. Currently, he is the director• of the California UFO Research Institute. He has published and presented many articles and has given lectures in 44 states and Canada. In 1968, he •was one of twelve scientists on the Scientific Symposium of UFO's, held by the U.S. Congress. Mr. Friedman has appeared on the NBC Whether or not they go is presently dependent on if funds can be obtained from the SGA.

At the present, however, Mr. Friedman is a full tithe lecturer contributing all of his energies to ufology. Mr. Friedman pointed out that most sightings probably never get reported. Reasons such as the fear, or the ego won't allow people to report their cases. In our audience, 33 people believed that they have seen flying saucers, but only a handful were bold enough to report it. He strongly urged that if anyone would see one, that he should write down all the information he observed, such as the time, place, shape, ascent, and speed. 'They should also contact Mr. Fried man's organization in California. The phone number is, collect, 213- 371-9800. So to all you skywatchers out there, next time you see something unusual, don't be shy— report it to the people who can do something. Pa. Court Decision Effects Women By Cindy Conover On March 19, 1975, the Pa. Supreme Court issued a land mark decision in a 5-2 vote: No longer could separate female and male teams exist. No longer could separate leagues exist. This decision was received with mixed reactions. Most girls in volved in athletic programs are not especially pleased. Many feel this decision has struck a severe blow into women's sports. It took Cleveland The Behrend Players are sponsoring an afternoon of theatre at the Cleveland Playhouse on Sunday, April 13.

Men do have more muscle, thus the ability to exert more strength in sports. A spike executed by a man displays more power than one performed by his female teammate. Shuffling under the basket for a rebound places brute strength side by side. Can a 130 lb. woman shove a 180 lb. man out of the way for that ball? Realistically, women can't compete with men in scholastic sports program. That element of competition provides a motive where man becomes animal and winning is survival.
