Dear Charly,
Meteorologically speaking, could you explain to. me why
there is so much snow at Behrend.
Dear Mr. 8.,
• I'm afraid that I can't answer your question Metero
logically, but theoretically speaking I feel thusly:
- ~And the Lord said, Because the cry of Perry and Ni
agara is great, and because their sin is grievous, I will de
stroy them save their mighty leader, Richeson.
And Richeson drew near, and said, Wilt thou also de
stroy the righteous with the wicked?
Arid the Lord said, If I find in Perry fifty righteous
within the halls, then I will spare all the place for their
sakes.
And Richeson begged the Lord, peradventure just forty,
or twenty, or just ten righteous are to be found?
And He said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.
And there came two angels to Perry at even: and Lane
sat in the gate of Perry: and he bowed himself with his
face toward the ground.
And when morning arose, the angels hastened Lane
saying, Arise, take thy wife, thy son, and thy , daughter
which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of
this place.
And no just men or women were found in the place
and the Lord rested in contemplation. Richeson was in com
munion with the Lord and watched Lane escape the fury.
Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything
till thou be come thither. Therefore the city of refuge was
to be called Zerie.
The sun was risen upon the earth when Lane entered
into Zerie.
Then the Lord rained upon Perry and upon Niagra
hailstone and snow from the Lord out f the heaven.
And the fury - continues even now.
And Richeson looked toward Perry and Niagara and
toward all the land of the wrathfull area ,and foresaw with
his prophetic powers that in the future the countryside will
become as. one white glacier and will vanish from the earth
forever.

University of Santa
Initiates Sensitivity
Santa Clara, Calif.—(l.P.)—Sensitivity training as an aid of determent to the individual, his educa—
tion and occupational environment was evaluated recently by speakers on the University of Santa Clara.
campus
The _conference, "Encounter-Groups: •Hope or Hell," -was - sponsored by the Center for the Study
of Contemporary Values under the direction of Dr. Stuart McLean, assistant professor of theology _at-
Santa - Clara. Conference keynote speaker, Dr. William Schutz of the_ Esalen Institute in Big Sur, de
fined sensitivity training as a "tool in a social revolution of openness and honesty. The _result will be
a new way of relating to self and others."
He tranced the patterns of re
pressive behavior inculcated in
the individual during childhood
and the methods the encounter
group employs to counteract this
conditioning. In enumerating the
guidelines used in -the sensitivity
"session" he said, "participants
are to be open, honest, talk. about
the now and express when possi
ble physically what could have
been expressed verbally."
Chairman of the Santa Clara
Pliychology' department, Dr.. R—
oland Lowe, _responded to. Schutz
with the deficiencies inherentr_iri
the encounter group method. He
questioned the qualifications of
group facilitators
.and asked for
evidence "to prove that sensitivity
training does what it claims."
He also challenged the value of
total honesty in relation to the
importance of an individual's
privacy and added "coping with
aloneness is a valuable part .of
maturation."
The. New Left's position on sen
sitivity training was cited by for-
Jethro Tull -Too Often Ignored
by Gary Thornbloom
At.times many of us often tend
to ignore some of the better
sounds around. All too often our
perception fails us and we pass
by a good thing. To most people
who have got it together about
the sounds of the music of today,
the rap I'm about to put down
is nothing new, but to the uni
formed majority, please read on.
When a group makes it, it's often
due to how commercially orient
ed they allow their sound to be
come. The more commercial their
sound is the more .AM, and at
times PM, airplay they will re
ceive. The groups exposure and
the amount of promotion (ie. dol
lars spent selling the group to you
the listener) play the guiding
factors to what you will hear. and
buy. Very often to hear the best
groups YOU have to search to find
them. Once you are turned on to
them, it's good-bye to top forty
shit. Whether by lack of our own
observation or observation or due
to poor promotion procedures
I many groups are ignored. Groups
such as the Buffalo Springfield
and Procol Harum, when they
were still together, were both fan
tastic bands but •to a large ma
jority, they went unnoticed, - Niel
Young, the 'Steve Miller Blues
Band, the_ .Moo.dy__Blues -and -Jet
hro Tull are all grdups which are
releasing really great albums. How
.often do you hear any mention of
these groups. Each of these is a
sound of ,now, a sound of the
-beauty of rock. Perhaps the most
ignored of the ones I've mention
ed is Jethro Tull. Their record
company, is so uniformed that for
a long time they were releasing
_entirely false statements about
,Jetro Tull. It's thii group that
I've selected - to do this reviewing.
Jethro Tull's first album was

Ransome, editor of the under
ground Mid-Peninsuala Observer_
The encounter's exclusive concern
with individual problems in lieu
of a confrontation with . political
issues was described by Ransom
as the Left's basic objection to
sensitivity _ sessions.
He found them a middle- class
phenomenon and the openness
policy described as fallacy-didden.
"Equals .can be honest—unequals
cannot." He stated the obligation
of society to support the develop
ment of the individual "which it
does not do" and called it "a cruel
hoax to say we_ can change social
institutions." •
Dr. Schutz refuted the futility
of revising social institutions and
cited the- encounter as a means
of effecting change. He considers
sensitivity training instrumental
in clarifying the individual's-image
of his political self. "It avoids the
projection of personal problems

The Chairman of--the Advisory
Committee on Guides for Moral
Instruction in California schools,
Dr. - Edwin Klotz, labeled sensitivi
ty training "old-fashioned nihil

ual's value system" and anti-the

"It -is a :source of rebellion des

Fr. Joseph Powers, professor of

the following theological-ethical
evaluation of sensitivity training:
Religious and encounter purposes
