# Nobel Winner's Bay Area Tour
# A Crash Course in Occult
By Kevin Wallace
Edgy young Brian Josephson, 1973 British Nobel laureate in quantum physics, wasn't yet into blue jeans yesterday, but his shoes were off, and he padded around the Nob Hill apartment in maroon sox.
"Very, ah -- well, different from Cambridge," the 36-year-old Welshman summarized his current two-week crash course in Bay Area physics, metaphysics, consciousness-raising, clairvoyance and inter-terrestrial intelligence probing.
He is here as guest of San Francisco's two-year-old Physics/Consciousness Research Group (PCRG), which finances physicists' mind expansion along lines universities ordinarily won't pay for.
"We got Brian into experiencing Cecil Williams at Glide Church Sunday, and turned him on to massage last night," declared his ebullient blue-jeaned host and guide, PCRG's physicist founder, Jack Sarfatti.
Josephson hastily changed the subject to his ESP inquiries at Stanford Research Institute, and talks at Lawrence Berkeley Lab on the question of reality --
BRAIN JOSEPHSON
Visiting laureate
"they're very interested in the question of reality over there."
"Brian's very into Don Juan and Carlos Castenada," Sarfatti declared proudly, "though it all goes back to Maharishi."
Josephson said it was a Cambridge visit two years ago by Transcendental Meditation's Maharishi Mahesh Yogi that first piqued his puzzlement about reality in general and the occult learning of the Bay Area in particular.
JACK SARFATTI
The visitor's host
"Initially," he said, "my visit here was planned to study American artificial intelligence findings" -- with a view to programming computers to deal with something like Maharishi's higher states of consciousness.
But the tour's horizons have been dramatically expanded by his host's broader concerns, including a speeding-up of the cumbersome speed-of-light factor in possible inter-terrestrial communications, adjusting the DNA molecule to extend the normal life span to 3000 years, tapping the latent energy supply in vacuums, and writing and producing a rock opera version of Goethe's "Faust."
"Quantum physics explains ordinary phenomena by real weird, surrealistic, psychedelic, occult things," Sarfatti said happily, and noted that his PCRG funnels donated funds not only for the Nobel laureate's visit, but to promote Lynn Hershman's environmental art, Tim Leary's space-migration research, Robert Anson Wilson's science fiction, and allied heavy questing -- $40,000 worth in the past year.
"Werner Ehrhard of est gave us our first grant, and Mike Murphy of Esalen Institute advises us, and I'm in touch with Governor Brown, whom I call a real 'quantum politician,' Sarfatti said. ("Quantum" refers in physics to the astonishing jumpiness of energy states.)
Josephson ventured timidly, "If the average person weren't too tied down to a rigid belief system, I feel it might, ah, change the nature of society."
"That's well said!" Sarfatti cried with gusto.
# Dry Driver Group
Former San Francisco Sheriff Matthew C. Carberry was ordered yesterday to participate in the Dry Driver Diversion Program for one year by Municipal Court Judge Louis Garcia.
The order was made in lieu of mandatory 48-hour jail sentence and fine levied for the second drunk driving offense in a five-year period.
Carberry will be required to pay $450 for the one year course, which is sponsored by a coalition of local agencies. As part of the program, Carberry must participate in weekly counseling with Alcoholics Anonymous.
Carberry was arrested October 15 on the James Lick Memorial freeway near Candlestick Park after a California Highway Patrol officer noticed his car weaving. Carberry pleaded guilty before Judge Garcia.
On May 14 Carberry was fined $315 and put on a year's probation on an earlier drunk driving conviction.
# Stanford to Raise Rates for Tuition, Room and Board
Rates for tuition, room and board at Stanford University will be increased nine per cent next fall to a total of $6536, it was voted by the board of trustees.
They voted to increase tuition from $4275 to $4695 and room and board from $1841 to $2041.
Officials said the university will continue to meet the demonstrated financial needs of students admitted and that admission decisions would continue to be made without regard to financial need.
Stanford officials said they expect the new rates to be competitive with those of other major Eastern institutions.

# Fire Kills Girl; Arson Suspected
SAN FRANCISCO--Police are investigating the "strong possibility" of arson in a fire that killed a 10-year-old girl and injured three persons.
The two-alarm blaze apparently ignited at 4:04 a.m. yesterday in a rear sitting room on the first floor of a house at 1321 Sunnydale Ave. near McLaren Park, said police.
Young Rochelle Butler tried to jump off the front balcony but fell back into the flames, said arson inspector John McGreevy.
Four others leaped from rear, second-story windows. The girl's mother, Juanita Butler, 33, her brother, Kevin, 12, and Clareesa Armstrong, 31, were admitted to a hospital for observation of possible smoke inhalation and treatment of minor injuries, officers said.
Roland Horn, 24, of San Mateo, was not injured.
Intense heat drove away neighbors trying to enter the house to rescue Rochelle. Coroner's deputies found evidence of first-, second- and third-degree burns on her body.
Mr. McGreevy said the fire caused minor damage to adjacent houses at 1315 Sunnydale and 511 Sawyer St. Damage to the Butler home was estimated at $45,000.

# San Francisco train jumps rails at Omaha

### 37 hurt on Zephyr going to Chicago
Examiner News Services
OMAHA -- Six cars of the San Francisco Zephyr, Amtrak passenger train bound from Oakland to Chicago, derailed early today on the southern edge of Omaha. At least 37 persons were injured, one of them seriously, officials said.
There were no fatalities in the accident, just 10 minutes before the train was due at the Omaha station at 3:05 a.m. local time, the Sarpy County sheriff's department said.
Greg Gee, 27, of Farragut, Iowa, was reported in serious condition and in surgery for internal bleeding. Two other persons were listed in fair condition at Bergan Mercy Hospital and eight others were listed in good condition.
A spokesman for Midlands Community hospital in nearby Papillion said 26 persons were treated for cuts and bruises. None were hospitalized.
The two-unit diesel engine and the three cars directly behind remained on the track. Four of the derailed cars landed on their sides about 10 feet off the track.
The cause of the derailment was not immediately determined.
The sheriff said there were about 180 passengers, many of whom were asleep, and crew members aboard the train.
Conductor R. W. Mitchell, 58, who boarded the train in Lincoln, said the train was going 65 miles per hour at the time of the derailment.
Sarpy County Sheriff Pat Thomas said a passenger told him one of the cars went off the track and the rest followed.
