Street lights
don’t always
lower crime
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Brightly
lighted city streets lessen the
fear of crime — but there is no
“statistically significant evi
dence” it actually reduces crime.
A study by James Tien of Re
nsselaer Polytechnic Institute,
financed by the Law Enforce
ment Assistance Administration,
said crime stayed at the same
level or increased in certain
well-illuminated areas.
“Evidence is now unclear on
whether better lighting reduces
or merely displaces crime —
sending a would-be burglar, car
thief, or purse snatcher to a more
poorly lighted area,” it said.
But it added that “while there
is no statistically significant evi
dence that street lighting im
pacts the level of crime ... there
is a strong indication that in
creased lighting ... decreases the
fear of crime. ”
The report found robbery in
street lighting projects decreased
in Kansas City, Mo., and Wash
ington, D.C.; stayed the same in
Harrisburg, Pa., and Portland,
Ore., and increased in Balti-
The nineteen sixties were a time of ideological turmoil, social
dislocation and experimentation. Now in the nineteen seven
ties the movement is toward a penetrating awareness of one’s
inner self. THE SILVA MIND CONTROL METHOD is the ulti
mate self-realization technique for self-improvement and in
creased creativity - the number of mind control graduates has
risen to one million.
"Mind Control trainees practice visualizing, imagining, and
thinking at a deep level of consciousness until they learn
to function there mentally. They capture a wider range of
brain activity for conscious use ... an expanded range of
consciousness. Instead of just daydreaming when they
are relaxed, they can use their mind effectively at this
level. Instead of just dreaming at night they can use the
dream state to solve problems and arrive at answers the
mind is not capable of at any other time.
When persons learn to function mentally at this deeper
level, creativity is enhanced. Memory is improved and
persons are better able to solve problems.”
8 Clancy D. McKenzie, M.D.
Since its founder, Jose Silva, began teaching the system ele
ven years ago in his native Laredo, Texas, people throughout
the country have graduated from its four-day training course in
Dynamic Meditation. In the process, they've learned how to tap
the deeper levels of consciousness to develop concentration,
overcome stress, increase creativity, replace bad habits with
good ones, and operate ih every area of their lives with new
abilities, including the psychic. Of all today's methods for con
sciousness raising, Silva Mind Control has won the greatest
acclaim for its results:
"Several large corporations, colleges and welfare organi
zations have sent representatives to Mind Control. All re
ports indicate a more positive, creative attitude in the
graduates. More specifically. Mind Control graduates told
me they were able to relax, lose weight, quit smoking, find
love and achieve goals that had been eluding them for
years.”
"Mind Control is a practical thing: it can be used for busi
ness ... health ... education ... for better family under
standing.”
- Rayboy, March, 1975
Silva Mind Control has been taught in every state in the United
States and in 30 foreign countries.

Alien solution economii
By SALLY DREYFUS
Battalion Reporter
Latin America causes problems
for the United States in the form of
illegal aliens, the chief official of the
Agency of International Develop
ment for Latin America said
Monday. And the solution to the
problem lies in economic, not
police action, he said.
More than six million un
documented workers (illegal aliens)
are in the United States, and more
than one million enter the country
annually, Abelardo Lopez Valdez
told the Committee on Awareness of
the Mexican American Culture.
“This problem will get worse be
cause the population is expected to
double within the next 25 years,”
said Valdez, the highest ranking
Mexican-American in the State De
partment.
One-half of today’s population of
Latin America is surviving on less
than $250 per person per year.
Valdez said illegal aliens come to
the United States to escape poverty
and to look for economic freedom.
“The only way to solve the prob
lem of the undocumented worker is
not through fences or beefing up the
immigration police because it’s not a
police problem.
“It’s a poverty problem and an
economic problem. And it’s a prob
lem no one country will be able to
solve alone,” Valdez said.
“The Hispanic-American com
munity can serve as a dual interpre
ter to the United States. It has in
the past been occupied with eco
nomic problems and last year it
played a critical role in the Panama
Canal debate.”

America is the fourth largest
Spanish-speaking country in the
Western Hemosphere, after
Mexico, Argentina and Colombia.
Valdez predicted that the United
States will become more active in
Latin American affairs.
“I think you’ll find a much greater
involvement in domestic and
foreign politics in the future
certainly in the 1980s,’’ Valdezs

Patrick Lucey believes the F
ruary summit between the pr
dents of Mexico and the Uni
States was a success, and not
failure he said the news meds
both countries portrayed.
Lucey, keynoting a conferem
Mexican and American journal
said Sunday night the summit
us in a position to make progres
issues that have needed attei!
for a long time.”
He said the media calledita
ure because it didn’t meet the
expection” the media had setii
“Once an atmosphere of his
pectation has been created
press seems unable to be s;
with anything less than confiri
of its own predictions, saidLn
The former Wisconsin govei
who is rephrted in line for alii!
position in the area of Ameii
Mexican relations, said he felt
summit had achieved at least
tangible results — resumption
negotiations on the purchase
Mexican natural gas; creation i \
commission to recommend
gration policy, and the
increased trade between the
countries.
Lucey said coverage of the ai I
mit was tainted by what he thonj I
was an error by the media in ini I
preting Mexican President)
Lopez Portillo’s remarks at a s
luncheon “as a social slur rati
than as the serious political cfl |
mentary they represented.
He said the Mexican presidf
was trying to convey an “accui
reflection” of the feeling of ffl
Mexicans about the United Stall
and the difficult job this countiy!
in achieving full cooperation k
tween the two.
