According to Hewes, Unidentified flying objects are studying our ten- dency toward war because we pose a potential threat to them, should we continue to advance technologically. Supporting his hypothesis, Hewes cited in creases in UFO surveillance in times of war ' on earth (especially during the conflicts in World War II, North Viet nam, and the Middle East) as well as in times of great scientific advancement and space exploration. He claims that they were also apparently interested in Watergate as early as 1965. Hewes first became in terested in UFO’s at the age of thirteen and has spent con siderable time studying and researching unexplainable events. He is currently the Director of the International UFO Bureau, Inc. He has no doubt that flying saucers and UFO’s exist as unidentifiable vehicles from outside ot our solar system. However, he notes that it is not known exactly where they come from or why they are here. They have been observed at least since the beginning of recorded history. Although he was granted permission to examine the Air Force’s extensive files on UFO’s and their Project Blue Book, Hewes feels there is still much that the government is keeping from the public regarding UFO’s. He also believes that the public was misinformed by the media on the Condon Committee report which was based on Air Force research at the University of Colorado and which Hewes refers to as a “ $500,000 white wash.” Hewes believes the reason these extraterrestrial beings have not yet made an official contact with earth people is that they don’t know who they should contact as our leader. He also assumes that when they consider that we are prepared for such an event they will make contact. When they do, their mission will be “ to help mankind and to save us.” By LINDA ANN BRAZIL This summer for the seventh time SUC Oswego will offer an undergraduate program in Tropical Biology at the Marine Sciences Research Center on Discovery Bay. The program, which features field trips, lectures and individual study projects, allows students to observe plants and animals in their natural marine and terrestrial environments, familiarizes them with the principles of tropical ecology, and introduces them to aspects of tropical agriculture and economy in Jamaica. Each student in the program keeps a journal. Betty Lou Hilton of SUNY Buffalo recalls that “ we hiked along the Wag Water trail in search of filmy ferns, climbing higher and higher into the misty moun tains. A sudden rain shower lifted some of the mist and we could see the houses of Kingston below. Kingston is much prettier at a distance than close up.” Last summer students from Morrisville, Cornell, Purchase, Albany, Oswego, Potsdam and Binghamton participated together with some from out of state. The program gives six credits and runs from May 27 to June 30. Students do preliminary classwork on the Oswego campus, then fly down to Jamaica for three weeks. Hinda Mandel of SUNY Binghamton was riding in a minibus through the cane fields in the heart of Jamaica when she encountered a local far mer. “ He was clearing a steep forested slope with his machete. Although he was thin and weak looking, he must be very strong to do the work he did. I can’t imagine having to work so hard for food and shelter, which I take for granted.” Dr. Norman J. Gillette, professor of biology at Oswego, is the experienced director of the program. “ In all the years I have been associated with this program there has never been a dull moment,” he said in a recent interview. “ The deadline for applications is April 15. Ap plications are available at your SUNY unit Office of In ternational Education.” Ad ditional information can be obtained from the Tropical Biology Program, In ternational Center; Rich Hall; SUC Oswego; Oswego, New York. 13126.
