Lowenstein, the final speaker of Vietnam Week, opposed the war on the grounds that it is immoral, impossible to win, and caus ing the disintegration of American society. The war is immoral, Low enstein charged, because it sends innocent Americans and Vietnamese to die. If the present policy is continued, Lowenstein pre dicted, "not thirty thousand but fifty thousand Ameri cans will be killed in Viet nam next year." The United States is also moving closer and closer to a war with China and Rus sia by our policy in Viet nam. Lowenstein said. "We are now flying bombing runs only twelve minutes from the borders of Red China, and soon we'll be called to rally against Red China. I'm not sure that's what Johnson wants," Lowenstein added, "but that's what he's lead ing to." Free University Survey Indicates . . . Disapproval Of Bunny Concept It is apparently thumbs down on the Playboy philos ophy for at least one group of University coeds who in dicated in a survey that they can't envision themselves in the Playboy concept of con temporary woman. In the survey covering several aspects of modern views on sex, the majority of the coeds also responded that they wouldn't use birth control devices before mar- (All activities are held in the Nebraska Union unless otherwise stated.)

"Does anyone over six," Lowenstein asked, "think that that is North Vietna mese aggression?" "The American people have been deceived again and again into thinking they're winning the war," Lowenstein stated. "We started the bombing to bring them to the con ference table, and to hold down the number of Ameri can casualties. But Ameri can casualties have in creased one hundred times since the bombing started." "Escalation," Lowenstein repeated, "is killing Ameri cans." United States objectives in the war are not being achieved, either, Lowen stein alleged. Theoretically, the United States is helping the South Vietnamese so that they might have free dom and self-determination. "But the recently held elections in Vietnam were tampered and rigged. In spite of that two-thirds of the population voted to re turn the government to ci vilian control." riage, would not consider a total physical relationship before marriage and that sexual relationships should have boundaries. The survey was taken in the YWCA's Free University course on the "Image of Woman." Thirty-six coeds were surveyed. Other questions the coeds answered included what the role of men toward men should be, whether abortion is morally wrong and the moral implications of birth control. Some of the ques tions and the coeds' an swers were: Can you envision your self in the Playboy concept of contemporary woman? Yes-1; No-33. Do you see anything wrong with birth control? Ves-3; No-32; Qualified-1. Do you think one might use birth control devices before marriage? Yes-3; No-19; Qualified-4. Would you consider to tal physical relationship be fore marriage?

Quiz Bowl Applications Available Applications for Quiz Bowl Teams must be sub mitted to Bill Ptacek, at 1645 R St., by Oct. 31, ac cording to Maryann Jorge son, Quiz Bowl president. Applications can be ob tained outside room 345 in the Nebraska Union. Each team must consist cf four members and four alternates. A $5 entry fee is also required for partici pation. This year's competition, which will begin Nov. 9, will be conducted under a dou ble elimination system. Un der this system each team will compete in at least two matches, Miss Jorgeson said. The match between the two remaining teams at the end of the competition will be televised on channel 12 of the Educational Televi sion station next spring. The Mortar Board and Innocents will match wits in their annual Quiz Bowl ap pearance Nov. 2. An im promptu match with volun teer team members from the audience will follow the Mortar Boards-Innocents game. Asian Disaster! "The two best-known an ti - military candidates weren't allowed to run," Lowenstein observed. "That's like telling the Re publican party in 1952 that they couldn't have run Gen. Eisenhower or Gov. War ren. Only Harold Lavender or Carl Curtis." As it stands now, Low enstein said, the United States wants surrender as a pre-condition for negoti ations. "But we haven't won the war, and we can't win the war." The war has also alie nated America from t h e rest of the world, accord Meet Jack Focht He's a Deputy County Attorney He Can Read 3,500 Words a Minute Watching Jack's hand fly the pages (his hand acts as a pacer), you can't believe that he's actually reading. He must be skimming. But he's not. Jack is seeing every word . . . and uses a special technique to read quickly. Most significantly, however, is that he can comprehend and recall what he's read . . . right down to the details. Jack Focht is not a mental freak. Nor is he a naturally fast reader. He learned this revolutionary technique of rapid reading at the Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics Institute. lie is one of more than 300,000 graduates in the United tSates. Jack is one of our new students. He started the course at about 400 words a minute and works up to speeds over 3,500 words a minute. Jack says, "My profession requires a great deal of reading and I can now read more material faster, with a defi nite increase in comprehension." You may not learn to read quite as fast as Jack Focht (and then again you might!) but the nationally known Reading Dynamics Institute guaran tees that youU at least triple your reading speed with good comprehen sion ... or receive a full tuition refund. Evelyn 202 South 71st Street 1601 P Street ing to Lowenstein. "T h e U.S. is regarded by world opinion, like Russia when they attacked Finland a world power is trying to bully a country by bombing them into submission." Lowenstein said that he sees an unconditional bomb ing halt and a move to de fensive postions as the best advised policy that the United States can now pur sue. "Over-night withdrawal of our troops from South Viet nam is a physical impos sibility," Lowenstein said. "But if we send the next hundred thousand troops that the generals say they The technique of dynamic reading was discovered by a Utah schoolteacher. Evelyn Wood first observed dy namic reading 18 years ago when a university professor read her term paper at an amazing 6,000 words a minute. Mrs. Wood's curoisity caused her to look for other excep tional readers, and over the next few years, she found 50 people who could read faster than 1,500 words a minute, with fine comprehension, outstanding recall, and great reading satisfaction. She was now sure it was possible to read faster than anyone had thought, but the question of how was not yet answered. It took 8 years of toil and research, working with "natural" fast readers before she de veloped a technique whereby aver age students learn to read 3 to 10 times faster. The first Reading Dynamics In stitute was opened in Washington, D.C. in September, 1959. Since that time institutes have been opened in 61 cities throughout the country, and national enrollment for the course now tops 300,000. Wood READING OMAHA, Nebraska LINCOLN, NEBRASKA need, and if we bomb Hai phong and Russian ships, we may find ourselves in World War III." "If the war continues," Lowenstein said, "Ameri can society will disintegrate. It's hard to believe that in Nebraska. But not if you go to the East or West coasts." "The best minds of our generations are going to jail. There's a generation gap, and there's a limit of how much your pride will allow you to let the younger generation say what you think. Pretty soon my gen eration will have to start going to jail, too." ' Comprehension is stressed. At a recent teacher training conference Mrs. Wood empha sized that dynamic reading is nothing like the skimming tech niques commonly used in speed reading courses. "You read five times faster," she pointed out, "not by reading every fifth word, but by reading five times as many words in the same amount of time." Mis. Wood emphasized that using her tech nique of rapid reading, every word on the page is noted. No mechanical pacers She was also critical of read ing courses that use a mechani cal pacer, as students tend to revert to previous reading speeds once the pacer is not there to help them. When read ing dynamically, the readers hand is used as a pacer. DYNAMICS INSTITUTE ij Balance9 A foe's Play Challenges To Crew Edward Albee's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, "A Del icate Balance," has provided a challenge in set design and lighting, according to Jerry Lewis, technical director. The play will open Nov. 3, 4 and 5 and will also be presented alternating with "Misanthrope" Nov. 17, 18 and 19 and Dec. 8 and 9. Lewis explained that the entire play takes place in one room, an effect that is popular with contemporary playwrights. He added that Albee has made some no table contributions to this setting. He said that a set is usu ually built so the audience views the actors through the vacant wall of a three-sided iff "fZzT-- if Pi Phone 393-1050 Phone 435-2168 room. But in "A Delicate Balance," the room is only two sided and set at an an gle to create the feeling that the viewers are actually in the room. According to Lewis, the room appears to be the con ventional setting for a wealthy family, complete with well-stocked bookcases and stained glass window. Although the set seems deceptively simple, Lewis said, it is difficult to con struct a realistic stained glass window from screen ing and shelac. The crew also must build doors for the room, since they are nine feet, four inches tall, and cannot be purchased in this size.

Since the play is alternating with "Misan thrope," the set must be constructed so that it can be quickly folded and stored. Albee's characters are complex and open to many interpretations, Lewis said. The purpose of the set is to make relationships in t h e room more interesting and significant and enhance the actor's projection of a role without being obvious. He added that since the audience will be literally in the same room with the cast, there is no margin for technical error. You'll learn how Reading Dy namics might help you.
