SANTA FE, N.M. — Once a
top-level White House aide,
John Ehrlich man now f inds more
appealing the relatively easy
going life of an author and radio
commentator.
I move at my own speed, he
said. I make my own decisions,
my ow n choices. I .have my own
set of \ allies and priorities. 1
don t have to make excuses for
anybocb else s.
Ehrlichman, domestic affairs
advisor for President Richard
Nixon before being ousted in
1973 during the Watergate scan
dals, moved to Santa Fe in 1975.
He returned to the city earlier
this year after spending 1<S
months in federal prison for his
\\ atergate-related convictions.
As a White House aide,
Ehrlichman said he 'was a very
uptight individual and I'm sure
not very pleasant to be around a
lot of the time.
He said he was preparing to
write memoirs of his years with
Nixon, awaiting publication of
his second novel, working on a
magazine article about illegal
aliens and will soon begin taping
radio commentaries for the
Mutual Radio Network.
be, there are definitely more stu
dents registering their bikes. He
said in the past, fewer than half of
the bicycles on campus were regis
tered.
The purpose of the registration.
Parsons said, is to help police iden
tify lost or stolen bicycles so they
can locate the owners.
Parsons said about 100 bicycles
were picked up by University police
last December while students were
on vacation.
Of these, approximately one-third
were registered, he said. Letters
were sent to the owners of the regis
tered bikes. Parsons said about
one-third of the owners recovered
their bicycles. He added there is lit
tle chance of return to the owner for
an unregistered bike.
Until this year, registration was
required and cost $1.50. The long
lines and inconvenience involved in
registering bikes at the police sta
tion probably discouraged some
students from getting a permit. Par
sons said.
Another possible reason for not
registering bikes. Parsons said, was
that some students felt a registered
bike would be more likely to get a
ticket than one without a permit.
"If there were no permit, it would
be unlikely for an officer to wait
until the offender appeared to issue
the citation. Parsons said.
Although authorized by the Texas
A&M Bicycle Traffic and Parking
Regulations to "impound any bicy
cle operated or parked in violation
of the regulations, Parsons said his
department does not attempt to
catch every offender.
“We are not in the business of
chasing violators, he said.
The money collected from regis
tration fees was used mainly for the.
construction of bicycle parking
areas. Parsons said he did not expect
the income loss to be made up by
issuing more tickets.
"The money would have to come
from some other source,” Parsons
said.
Parsons encourages cyclists to
avoid blocking ramps or sidewalks
w ith their bikes. He also stressed
the importance of locking bikes to
racks around campus.

You can do it, too. So far almost 1,()()().000 people have done it.
People who have different jobs, different IQs, different interests,
different educations have completed the course. Our graduates are
people from all walks of life. These people have all taken a course
developed by Evelyn Wood, a prominent educator. Practically all of
them at least tripled their reading speed with equal or better com
prehension. Most have increased it even more.
Think for a moment what that means. All of them—even the
slowest—now read an average novel in less than two hours. They
read an entire issue of Time or Newsweek in 35 minutes. They don’t
skip or skim. They read every word. They use no machines. Instead,
they let the material they’re reading determine how fast they read.
And mark this well, they actually understand more, remember
more, and enjoy more than when they read slowly. That’s right!
They understand more. They remember more. They enjoy more.
You can do the same thing—the place to learn more about it is at a
free speed reading lesson.
This is the same course President Kennedy had his Joint Chiefs of
Staff take. The same one Senators and Congressmen have taken.
Come to a free Speed Reading Lesson and find out. It is free to
you and you will leave with a better understanding of why it works.
Plan to attend a free Speed Reading Lesson and learn that it is
possible to read 3-4-5 times faster, with better comprehension.
