I Lowenstein: Vietnam Policy)
rec
By MICK LOWE
Senior Staff Writer
The United States war
policy in Vietnam is disas
trous, Allard Lowenstein,
vice president of the Ameri
cans for a Democratic Ac
tion, told an estimated au
dience of one hundred stu
dents and faculty members
Friday evening.
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-

Analyzing the history of
United States involvement
in Vietnam, Lowenstein said
that when U.S. troops were
committed there were 400
North Vietnamese in South
Vietnam, and sixteen thou
sand American troops.
"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

Yes-1; No-33.
Do you see anything
wrong with birth control?

Would you consider to

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

the war, and we can't win

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

reading speed with good comprehen
sion ... or receive a full tuition refund.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

He explained that it is not
a stock set and the crew
must build almost every
thing and purchase nearly
all materials. 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.
