The levitators say that such displays would be undignified and generate a circus-like atmosphere. The Students International Meditation Society is holding introductory lectures on the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program in Squire Hall, room 330 tonight, and on the Amherst Campus, Fillmore Hall, room 354, on Wednesday night.

Pasco explained that anybody can fly. “It’s in the human genetic code. Because these abilities have been dormant so long, we’re still in the Wright Brothers’ stage,” he said, explaining, “A typical flight consists of a ‘hop’ a foot or two in the air and four to five feet forward. Over the past year, approximately 25 Buffalo area residents have taken training in the TM-Sidhi program. Although everyone interviewed agreed that flying is a rush, many seemed at least as impressed with the benefits they realize during their daily routines. Both lectures begin at 7:30 pm, and will feature a panel discussion with several of the levitating students. Society members will be available to answer questions today until 2:30 pm in Squire Hall Center Lounge. The Buffalo Capital of the Age of Enlightenment is located at 4515 Main Street, near Harlem Road in Snyder. Introductory lectures are also held there every Wednesday at noon and 7:30 pm.

I’m also making numbers (of machines} rather than quality.” The Tandberg machines enables individual students to listen to different tapes simutaneuosly- and allows the instructor to consult with each via the headphones. The lab can storage up to 40,000 tapes, he said, adding that he hopes to add tapes at a rate of 500 per year. He emphasized that all departments, not only languages, will be able to use the facility.
