Anti-discrimination policy. . . Continued from page 1 open to persons of all races and steps groups have taken to eliminate racial prejudice. The ad hoc committee has moved slowly this school year waiting to see what action the Regents would take on Robinson's special report concerning racial discrimination on camous. Robinson's controversial report states that racial prejudice is common among students at the University and dcribed the Greek system as the "weak link" in the chain of Implementing the Regents' anti-discrimination policy. The associate dean of the Arts and Sciences College found "with the exception of some fraternities and sororities there is...no deliberate and concerted racial discrimination in student social organizations." He recommended that five fraternities and one sorority be reprimanded for racial discrimination. ROBINSON PROMISED Wednesday that he would see that all aspects of his report are followed up. He said the Regents' directive for all organizations to comply with the anti-discrimination policy had been useful and noted it caused two fraternities to liberalize their voting procedures to select new members. It has also called the attention of all organizations to the problem," Robinson said of the Regents' directive. As directed by the Board of Regents, the administration is also starting programs to make sure the Regents ant i-discrimination policy is being implemented. PRESIDENT JOSEPH Soshnik is in the process of forming a committee to develop an affirmitive action program to assure the Board of Regents anti-discrimination policy is being implemented. The committee will be under the direction of Student Affairs and will involve interested representatives from student organizations. Student Affairs is also starting to work with representatives of minority groups to assure an attitude of reciprocal cooperation and non-discrimination. Degree deadline will be March 1 All students who expect to receive bachelors degrees, advanced degrees, two-year or six-year certificates at the close of the second semester must apply by March 1, 1971, if they have not yet done so. Applications should be made at the Registrar's Office, Room 208 Window .3, Administration Building, between 8 and 5, Monday through Friday. n If I could m my ml" mm inn QliCin El - p kll 1 IS It all began in the first grade. But don't blame your first-grade teacher. It wasn't her fault. It was the system she had to teach. The old "run, Spot, run" method. You had to read it out loud. Word by word. And that's the-way it was until you became a second grader. Where your teacher asked you to read silently. But you couldn't do it. You probably stopped reading out loud. But you still said every word to yourself. If you're an average reader, you're probably reading that way now. Which means you read only as fast as you talk. About 250 to 300 words a minute. And that's not fast enough any more. Not when the average student has approximately 8 hours of required reading for every day of classes. And since the amount of time in a day isn't about to increase, your reading speed will have to. In order to handle it all. The Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics course can help. With training, you'll be able to see groups of words. To read between 1,000 and 3,000 words per minute. Depending on how difficult the material is. At any rate, we guarantee to at least triple your reading speed, or we'll refund your entire tuition. (98.4 of everyone who takes the course accom plishes this.) So don't waste time thinking about whom to blame. Come take a free introductory speed reading lesson. We'll increase your reading speed on the spot. It takes about an hour to find out how you can reduce your study time by 50 or more. And it'ought to be worth an hour of your time. To save thousands.
