Mindpower is . . . an energy force that can be directed in any number of ways ... a thought is abstract until made reality through mind power. — Vic Glover Reading through her notes on the way to class is sophomore Judy Lantis. Our future energy:Mindpoiirer What is the energy of the future? Is it nuclear power or will the sun be the replacement for fossil fuels? The search for the right answer could be endless, but it may be right under our noses. The energy of the future may be Mindpower. What exactly is Mindpower?

Mindpower gives M€ loeal publicity The Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) reaUzed the potential energy of Mindpower and organized a nationa l campaign to promote the theme, America ' s Energy is Mindpower and centered it around Mindpower Week October 3-11. The Mindpower campaign was publicized nationally on television and in periodicals such as Newsweek and Time . Manchester College is one of 1,140 colleges and universities who helped to promote the theme in search of support by the public for higher education. During Mindpower Week, which was also Homecoming Week at Manchester, Manchester College took advantage of the situation. Manchester, with the help of its Public Relations Department, held its own advertisement of Mindpower and put Manchester College on the map at the same time. Several hundred students, staff, and faculty members gathered in the college mall and formed the word M-I-N-D-P-O-W-E-R. Local press and television stations were present to record the newsworthy event. Those who participated were able to point themselves out on the evening news. Hours of preparation were taken to set up as letter leaders found volunteers and held practices.
