(Continued from page 1) At the end of the show most of the people who whitnessed the performance were convinced of the reality of hypnosis. After about a two hour show, Mr. Mapes took a short break and mingled with students who had remained at the Pub. It was then that I had the opportunity to share a few words with him on the subject of hypnosis and mind control. Mr. Mapes informed me that self-hypnosis can be easily learned and can be used to control such things as: smoking, weight prob lems, nervous tension and insom nia, and can improve athletic abilities, creativity, and memory. Post-hypnotic suggestions can last up to a year and when asked how people had known during the show that five or ten minutes had elapsed since the suggestion was made, ‘he responded saying that the body is a perfect clock and has an amazing ability to keep track of time. Mr. Mapes also told me that hypnosis is a heightened state of awareness where the subjects are extremely sensitive to suggestions and can therefore be transported back to eight years of age and see a full length movie that isn’t there. There is also a good insight into the personality of the person under hypnosis. Mr. Mapes is also the author of two books, one in its second edition and the other is to be released this spring. They are: Hypnosis for the Layman (second edition), and Mind Control for the Layman. The Student Activities Board hopes to bring Mr. Mapes back to a present a seminar on hypnosis for the Spring Weekend which is to be held sometime in mid to late April. These and the many other happenings around the school are funded by the S.A.B. Bill Mudryk Tap Cuts State University student lead- rs sharply condemned Governor ¡arey’s 1977-78 budget proposals jr the University as “intolerable” nd for containing a “regressive ffective cost increase for those jast able to afford one -- middle nd lower income families. Student Association of the State Jniversity (SASU) leaders scored Carey's $41 million cui in the Tuition Assistance Program. Most of the hardships from the six TAP categories slashed fall squarely on those families with net incomes less than $10,000 yearly. The 18.6% TAP cuts are seriously compounded by the greater numbers of students who now rely upon the aid to meet program. “The Governor's budget cynical ly singles out those with the least amount of political influence and disposable income to absorb the state’s financial problems during the current economic crisis,\ read the student’s statement. The students also accuse the Governor of harboring an obvious pro-pri vate college bias in setting education support priorities. Carey’s 1974 election rhetoric had labeled the TAP award differential between upper and lower division students “an inexcusable burden placed on students who can least afford it.” Yet the Governor’s current budget reinforces this hardship by reducing lower division awards $100, a cut comparable to the $200 reduction now made for upper division students. SASU contrasted the regressive TAP cuts, which is aimed only at public institutions, with the recent 5.8% increase in the private schools share of Bundy aid. At the same time, the State University is handed an effective $20 million budget reduction and is groaning under the impossible weight of skyrocketing construction debt service repayments. SASU noted that New York State ranks first nationally in support for private higher educa tion. In 1974-76 34 states contri buted nothing to their private systems. During the same time SUNY’s funds increased less than one percent while in pther states public school funding increased up to 24%. SASU’s Legislative Director Joel Packer called the SUNY budget “indefensible and opposed to the public interest.” “Carey last year said that he planned to ‘alter the pattern of state spending for higher educa tion so that greater emphasis is placed upon opportunities for the individual student and less on institutional support.’ This year’s budget does just the opposite,\ said Packer. SASU Vice President Andy Hugos announced that students are planning a massive mobiliza tion of SUNY and CUNY students in support of the public’s right to higher education. The actions will include an intensive lobbying effort during February, a legisla tive letter writing campaign and a spring emonstration at the Capitol. Tuesday, Februaiy 8, 1977 rapidly rising educations costs. This year City University students became eligible for aid following, the imposition of tuition at CUNY. “$27.5 million, or more than 67% of the cuts are for awards granted to students in SUNY and CUNY while only 27.5%, or $11 million are for private college students,” said SASU President Frank Jackalone, who also serves on the SUNY Board of Trustees. TAP allocations are divided almost evenly between public and private school students. Jackalone called the TAP reduction a “regressive action” which increases the financial burdens of SUNY and CUNY students from the lowest income groups. 115,000 lower income lower division (freshmen and sophomores) will have a $100 award reduction served to them. The cuts apply only to those whose tuition is less than the $1500 maximum TAP award - that is, only public university students. In addition, the poorest students of all receiving Equal Opportuni ty Program funds will be doubly penalized. Carey proposes a half million dollar reduction for that PAPERSUN PAGE 5 Colorful, Exotic, Desirable Add a touch of color, a dash of sentiment, mixed with a generous portion of contemporary styling- for the finest in necklites and pendants . . . a must for every lady.
