The Program Council promoted a wide variety of artists and lecturers for the campus community. Among them were: Stanton Friedman, a nuclear physicist who gave evidence supporting "flying saucers"; The nationally known Up With People singing group, who robustly perform in support of traditional American virtues; Black militant editor Daniel Watts, who supported "violent revolution" for the black man to achieve his goals; and Psychologist Martin Ebon, who spoke on extra sensory perception and prophecy.
