"The Lighter Side"
ESP system proposed
Bv Dicu West
WASHINGTON —(UPI)— It has been announced that a mentalist named Kreskin plans to set up a coast-to-coast telepathy network over which messages will be transmitted by Extra Sensory Perception (ESP).
Although brainwaves will be the main carrier, Kreskin said his research indicated that "certain vesicular organs of the body, like ear muscles, could probably be used in ESP transmission."
O, my! I do hate to see these things happen for it inevitably means that ESP will eventually operate in the same fashion as AT&T.
Scene I
It is 2 a.m. You are peacefully slumbering in your trundle bed while visions of sugar plums dance through your head. Suddenly, you become aware your ears are twitching. Someone is trying to reach you via ESP.
You fight your way to consciousness and force yourself to concentrate to read the message.
"Hello. Is Charlie there?"
"Charlie Flingball."
"Charlie who?"
"You must have the wrong brainwave."
Scene II
By now, of course, you are wide awake and it takes two cups of warm milk to send you back to the land of nod.
It is 6 p.m. This time you are in the shower when the ear twitching starts. At first you ignore it. Then you become concerned that it might be something important. You turn off the water and give an answering flex of the ear muscles.
Somebody is trying to sell you a cemetery lot.
The next day you apply for an unlisted brainwave.
Scene III
You are out of town on a business trip and urgently need to contact your home. You try to reach your wife by ESP. You can't remember the area code.
Scene IV
You are out of town on a business trip and urgently need to contact your home. You try to
reach your wife by ESP. Your ear muscles begin a rhythmic vibration. It is a busy signal.
Scene V
You need to get in touch with the deputy assistant secretary of
a government agency. Your brainwave is intercepted by his secretary who asks you to hold. Thirty minutes later you are still holding. Then your brainwave is disconnected.
Southern Cal retains No.1 spot in UPI poll
NEW YORK—(UPI)—Southern California, whose rating as the No. 1 team in college football wasn't expected to survive last Saturday's invasion of South Bend, Ind., has tightened its grip on the top spot with its 1967 season now at the halfway point.
After last week's 24-7 triumph over Notre Dame, even though the Trojans were 12-point underdogs, Southern California received 29 first-place votes from the 35-member United Press International Board of Coaches. The loss knocked Notre Dame, last year's national champion, from fifth to 11th in the ratings.
500 to meet state dept. officials here
The major college football ratings with first place votes and won-lost-tied record in parentheses:
Five hundred politicians, educators and newsmen from the Kansas, Nebraska and western Missouri area are expected to meet with State Department officials at the Foreign Policies Conference today.
Bill Chestnut, spokesman for University Extension, said the purpose of the conference is to provide those attending with information on current foreign policy. It will also provide a forum where high level policy-making officials and regional and local leaders can exchange opinions.
Eugene V. Rostow, U.S. Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs, will be the main speaker.
