ROGUE NEWS Fri.. Nov. 5. 1971 New Proposals For School Systems Is Topic Of Symposium PAGE FOUR By Rick Slanek Criticisms of and alternatives to the present school systems operating in the United States were topics of the 1971 Southern Oregon College Symposium. "Creative Heresies in Education" was the title of the program which was held October 19-21. Six speakers were featured during the symposium. They included Dr. Edward Hill, Dr. Robert King, Jonathan Kozol, Dr. Charles J. McCann, Dr. William McLaughlin, and Richard W. WUson. Dr. William McLaughlin, commissioner of Education in the Northwest, talked of the possibilities of change in the public schools. Dr. Robert King teaches at the New School, University of North Dakota. He teaches and prepares other teachers to teach in the current new free, open schools. He explained that the schools have the right ideas for teaching, they just aren't carrying them out properly. Jonathan Kozol, author of Death at an Early Age, spoke of his experiences in the Boston Public Schools and how, as an alternative to them he set up a free school Richard N. Wilson, geologist, is an American Navajo Indian Guest Privilege: Nature Of Magic Examined who directs Native American Studies at the University of New Mexico.

McCann is the president of Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, which in a school that opened this fall. Emphasis is on education through informal By Patti Phelan and Robin Arnold Witchcraft is found in many forms: voodoo, ESP, satanism, demonology, and sorcer. There are also two types of witchcraft, black and white. Black magic is used to hurt or kill an enemy; white magic is used to cure diseases, relieve pain, change the weather, and to attract lovers. This article examines white magic. Many people believe that covens (bands of witches) are only made up of young people. However, many covens are made up of middle-aged people who come from all walks of life. It must also be made clear that spirits, good or evil, do not play a part in witches' rituals. Before the esbat (witches' meeting) begins, the witches must decide what works (feats or spells) they are going to accomplish, and what type of magic they will use. Witches can only conjure up a limited amount of power a night, about enough for three works. To produce or release the power needed for a work, the witches must dance and chant before the feat can be performed. After the work has been completed, the witches must replenish the energy they used. They partake of cake and wine after the ceremony. As the esbat progresses, everyone disrobes as a symbol of freedom so that the power can flow freely through the body. A circle is then drawn to retain the power, which they release in a concentrated area. It must be made clear that spirits play no part in any witches' work and study rites or rituals. In the middle of the circle is placed an altar. On the altar are bowls of salt and water, a bunch of herbs, cords, a wand, incense, candles, a whip, a chalice (goblet), and small crescent-shaped cakes. The high priestess mixes the salt and water with her thame (a knife with magical symbols on the handle), and sprinkles the witches with the mixture, which purifies the witches so that the magic will work properly.
