Rolling Thunder
Medicine Man To Speak at Rock Eagle
The Fourth Southeast Regional Conference of
the Association for Humanistic Psychology will
be held next weekend at the Rock Eagle con
ference grounds in Eatonton, Ga.
The conference, which has been planned by
students and faculty members of the psychology
department at West Georgia, will feature the
Indian medicine man Rolling Thunder in the
program, which is entitled “Rolling Thunder at
Rock Eagle: Encounter with Traditional
American Indian Religion.”
Andy Short, instructor of psychology, said,
“The goal of the conference is just like the
primary goal of humanistic psychology: to help
people recognize the full potential of being a
human being.” Short, who is the southeast
regional coordinator for the AHP, continued the
emphasis on the American Indian this year is not
only “timely” but also promises to be an
“emotionally moving experience” for the 300-
400 people expected to attend the conference.
He explained that while there has been a great
amount of interest in Eastern philosophies of
religion and life such as Zen, Yoga, and forms of
krishna awareness, he expects much of this
emphasis to begin shifting away from the
Eastern thought and into the Western
philosophies of the American Indian.

Short said, "There are an amazing amount of
similarities in the philosophies of the American
Indian and the thought of the Eastern religions.
Because of this, and because of the fact that the
American Indian is closer to us in many ways, I
feel that many people are going to start looking
to the Indian philosophies in increasing num
bers. In fact, this has already started to some
extent.”
Because of this new interest in the Indian and
the recent upswing in concern for the American
Indian, Short and the students assisting him
chose to center this conference around the
American Indian
The selection of Rolling Thunder and his
agreeing to address the conference has been,
according to Short, a complete delight for
himself and the students who have worked with
him to organize the conference.
“We are really fortunate to have Rolling
Thunder agree to this, from what I understand,”
Short said. “But, one reason I feel he has agreed
to talk with us is because the conference will
have a lot of college students in attendance. He’s
really into students because, like the American
Indian, they are concerned as whole about the
natural order of things.”

lovers.
Directed by Dr. J. Oliver
Link, head of the speech and
drama department, with
assistance from Gary Baldy,
student director, the play also
stars student Steve Liner, Sloan
Traylor, Michael Hughes, and
Kristi Ogle. Dr. Robert
Mathews, assistant professor of
fine arts, is the technical
director.
According to Steve Liner,
publicity director, the play was
chosen for its “quality in both
musical and dramatic ex
pression, and its dependence on
a large cast.”
“West Side Story” is a step in
an evolution of a traditiion
