Baez Wishes To Be
'Ordinary Person'
By BARB MARTIN
Junior Staff Writer
One of the most important
women in the world of folk
singing curdles visibly when
"show biz" is mentioned,
according to Harold Davi
son of Folklore Productions
who recently edited a char
acter study of Joan Baez.
Davison emphasized the
paradoxical quality of the
singer, musician and com
poser who will present a
two-hour concert in Lincoln
at Pershing Auditorium Nov.
15.
Ticket sales for the per
formance will begin Tues
day in the Nebraska Union
Program Office from 8:30
to noon for block sales of
ten or more tickets. Gen
eral sales will begin at noon
for individual tickets, priced
at $2.10, $2.60 and $3.10.
According to D a v i s o n,
there is nothing in the per
sonality, demeanor, physi
cal appearance or back
ground of Miss Baez that
substantiates her rise to the
top of the efficiently or
ganized amusement busi
ness. ATTITUDE
Davison writes that Miss
Baez has assumed an atti
tude of passiveness when
confronted by the heavy tour
schedules and frequent ap
pearances expected of a
star. She prefers to remain
in her southern California
home most of the time.
Referring to wealth and
publicity that accompanies
stardom. Miss Baez said,
"now that I've seen what
those golden apples do to
people, I know I don't want
them. I need to keep part
of my life for myself. Dur
ing a tour I hear too much
about myself."
Davison indicated that
the singer views her work
in a manner far different
than most performers. Her
songs are chosen from a
diversified selection that
does not conform to the con
temporary emphasis on love
lyrics.
SOUND AND FEELING
Miss Baez said, "I don't
care very much about where

a folk song came from or
why, or even what it says.
All I care about is how it
sounds and the feeling in
it."
Folklore's representative
said that this attitude is an
integral part of the desire
of Miss Bzaez to remain an
ordinary person rather than
an image of the public.
He cited the singer's man
ner of dress as another ex
ample of her wish to be or
dinary. Davison noted that
she is neither flamboyant
nor glamorous. She doesn't
crave the extensive ward
robe of a star but she is
not a hippie. Her simple
dress and simple hair style
project Joan Baez, not an
image, says Davison.

READING
MACHINES
OBSOLETE
One of the major problems to
be faced by the teacher of speed
reading, when the method is ma
chine oriented, is that most stu
dents lose the acquired skill short
ly after leaving the course. The
machine provides a pacer for the
student, forcing him to move
faster, but when the machine is
no longer available, the student
tends to revert to his previous
reading patterns. The Wood
Method teaches the student to
use his hand as a pacer, guiding
his eyes rapidly down th page,
and as his pacer is always with
him, lie can retain and improve
upon, his acquired skill.

EVELYN WOOD
6,000 WORDS PER MINUTE .
The professor flipped
through the term paper,
all 80 pages of it, once . . .
and marked the paper as
he went without missing a
misplaced comma. His
speed? 6,000 words per
minute with perfect under
standing. The term paper
was Evelyn Wood's. It was
that event that sparked the
idea for what eventually
became Evelyn Wood
Reading Dynamics.
Being a school teacher
working on her Masters de
gree, Mrs. Wood was natur
ally intrigued with such
reading skill She started
looking for other fast read
ers, to see if there was
some basis of comparison,
some "trick" or method
that made them the great
readers they were.
Teacher Wood found 50
other such prodigies in
cluding a housewife and a
sheepherder. And all die
rapid readers did have
common characteristics:
they read whole para
graphs at a time, rather
than word by word, and

sending them away at sub
stantial expense, then we
have established the basis
for continued, growth," he
said.
A prime objective of the
University team is "institu
tional development," Dr.
Hanway said.
INTEGRATION IS SLOW
Atatark University has
been slow to integrate and
coordinate programs of the
university mainly because
the laws of Turkey govern
ing public universities do
not provide for strong cen
tralized administra
tion, Hanway noted.
Evidence of progress may
be noted in the fact that
whereas University of Ne
braska personnel formerly
taught classes through in
terpreters, only one regu
larly scheduled class was
taught by an American
during the past semester,
he said,
Turks can be more effec
tive in the classroom than
Americans, because teach
ing through an interpreter
reduces the effectiveness of
the U.S. teacher. Only half
of the normal amount of ma
terial can be covered dur
ing a semester because of
the time involved in trans
lation, Dr. Hanway pointed
out.
TIME IS PROHIBITIVE
While it would be desir
able for Americans to learn
Turkish, the time required
for prospective advisors to
do so is prohibitive since
most spend only two years

Mrs. Wood began to
teach herself these princi
ples and dius developed a
system for teaching others.
It took another 12 years be
fore she had her system de
veloped, tested and proved.
She worked with students
at Jordan High School, Jor

an English teacher for nine
years. Then she taught her
new reading system to stu
dents at the University of
Utah for another three

And always, Mrs.
Wood's students learned to
read between three and ten
times faster . . . and they
improved their comprehen

Mrs. Wood took her sys

The university now has
800 students in its Faculty
(College) of Agriculture, an
equal number in its Fac
ulty of Science and Letters
and 75 students in its Facul
ty of Medicine, which
opened in early 1966.
The Turks established the
medical school on their
own initative outside the
University of Nebraska
program, Dr. Hanway said.
However, former Dean of
the NU Medical College,
James P. Tollman, advised
them on equipment needs
for new medical facilities.
Ataturk University was
built at Erzurum, an area
about the size of Nebraska
but with four times the
population.
'A good university would
contribute much to the
economic, cultural and liv

group of people," he ex
plained. SEVEN ADVISORS
PRESENT
Seven University of Ne
braska advisors are pres
ently at the Turkish univer

physics, English and agri
cultural departments.
Students are admitted to
Ataturk and other Turkish
universities on the basis of
their standing in a national
entrance examination.
About 30,000 persons take the
test and only the upper one
third are accepted, Dr. Han

faculty member in charge of the
the following remarks to the
Reading Dynamics Institute,
"Members of the faculty of
St. Johns Country Day School
read in TIME that Evelyn
Wood had developed a meth'
od of teaching people to read
at thousands ot words per
minute. They felt that it
would be worthwhile to in
vestagate its value tor our
school.
"Visits to the Reading Dn-
namics Institute in Atlanta
and an article in THE
READING TEACHER con
finned our belief that the
ability to read dynamically
might bring to readers what
jet engines brought to air
craft travel. But there were
skeptics around who warned
us diat, 'this feat was phys
ically impossible, 'the whole
idea was a commercial gim
mick and it was not real
reading, just skimming." I
was selected by the faculty
to be our test case.
"It was not easy, and I
worked faithfully on the as
signed homework drills. But
what a thrill it was when I
first realized that the whole
page of print was clear and
the thoughts had penetrated
my mind, without being con
scious of words, while mov
ing along at a rate of 1,800
to 2,000 words per minute. I
wish everyone who has a
love for books could share
this experience.
"Reading dynamically
forces the. reader to make
fuller use of his mind. It is
not for a lazy person. The
speed with which he reads
demands better concentra
tion, there is not time for ex
traneous thoughts to stray
into the mind, and conse
quently comprehension is bet
ter. Our mind, when forced,
will put ideas together in log
ical order. This is what Read
ing Dynamics trains us to do.
class at St. Johns prove that
all our expectations have
come true. Students read at
five to eight times their en
trance speed with significant

Reading with your brain
is the secret to reading
3 to 10 times faster.
Your brain is capable of absorbing and
comprehending written material at a fan
tastic rate of speed ... a thousand, two
thousand, even beyond 10 thousand words
a minute. The fact that the average person
is able to feed in information at only 250
to 350 words per minute is one of the great
est wastes in human history.
But it's not your fault. You were taught
to read word by word probably aloud in
front of a class. You were taught to sound
thewords, you were taught to "sub-vocalize,"
to read with your "ears" instead of your
brain.
And in so doing, you tied a gigantic
anchor to your reading speed ... to your
intellectual growth . . . your ability to learn
. . . and your ability to enjoy.
To those people who care to loosen
the anchor rope ... to those people who
care to grow, Evelyn Wood Reading Dy

with your brain. It teaches you to disregard
