    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,

through Friday.

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.
