The Amazing Kreskin, world famous mentalist and scientific investigator of various areas of ESP, was brought to the campus by the Student Activity Committee. He performed before a near capacity audience of students and visitors. , Kreskin performed several amazing feats, which kept the audience spell bound. One of his unusual tricks was to read the thoughts of individu- als in the audience. This had some people on the edge of their seats. For his concluding act, he had his paycheck hid- den in the audience, and said that he would refuse payment for his performance if he did not succeed in finding it. But, through the telepathy of one girl, he did manage to find it. Top: Carolyn Creighton, editor of the campus newspaper, and Dale Works, Dean of Continuing Education, are ready to take Kreskin off the stage, while Rolfe Wylie, along with three students, prepares to hide the paycheck in the auditorium. Left: An alert audience listens to Kreskin as he tells of an experience with ESP. Below: Due to the telepathy of Gail Patterson, one of the students who helped to hide the check frightl, Kreskin does find his pay, and holds it up for the audience to see. A fy. fr 'L ' xi!

Science Day Honors Nuclear Physicist A Science Day was proclaimed by Dr. Carl Nelson, president of TCC, in honor of Dr. Edward Teller, de- veloper of the hydrogen bomb, nuclear physicist, and Nobel Prize winner. Dr. Teller was on campus during the fall semester, and spoke on the role of nuclear energy in the time of an energy crisis. A very large and attentive audience of about 2,000 students, educators, and citizens assembled in the TCC Auditorium to hear Dr. Teller. Dr. Teller has devoted a major portion of his time to energy issues, including nuclear energy. He has de- veloped national programs to explore peaceful uses of nuclear explosives and to harness thermonuclear energy by both magnetic confinement and laser techniques. He has also written several books, which include The Re- luctant Revolutionary and Great Men of Physics. Dr. Teller's lecture was one of a series sponsored by the TCC foundation, an organization whose purpose is to enlist and channel funds from public and private sources to TCC. Acting chairman of the TCC Foundation Board, Dr. William B. Patterson, was responsible for bringing Dr. Teller to the campus. . fgfpg r Above: Dr. Teller emphasizes a point on conservation of energy during his talk.
