WASHINGTON — The government is 11 public hearings and
olirs of study away from final regulations to carry out the congres-
liojud mandate forbidding age discrimination in federally funded pro-
Hms.
■he first step was being taken Tuesday when the Department of
llalth. Education and Welfare convened two days of hearings,
additional hearings will follow in all parts of the country, to clear up
despite a ileptions, Imilt into the 1975 Age Discrimination Act that have puz-
>okesmanfor kb and frustrated some groups.
00 membersiflEW Secretary Joseph Califano planned to open the hearing and
med its final ful for the testimony along with a panel of department officials.
nesat6a.m||s HEW explains the act, the ban on discrimination applies to
the district’s)t4ple of all ages, but the focus of Congress was on senior citizens,
non-strikin? there are 24 million Americans — 11 percent of the population —

lid that thej Pavid Marlin, an official of the National Council of Senior Citizens
argain while"e and a scheduled witness today, says the regulations as written
too complicated and vague.
ayla White of the HEW general counsel’s office disagrees and
; some complexity is built into the act. “Congress has written a
ute that has some exceptions: there shall be no age discrimination

Dial-up Nazi bounty lawsuit

HOUSTON — Lawyers have
asked the U.S. Supreme Court to
review a Texas court decision refus
ing a television reporter an injunc
tion against an American Nazi Party
dial-up telephone message.
Marvin Zindler of KTRK-TV filed
suit more than a year ago seeking to
stop the use of recordings — which
callers had to dial to hear — offering
a $5,000 reward for non-whites
killed while attacking whites.
Zindler, who is Jewish, said he
considered the tapes a threat to
minorities and a violation of his civil
rights.
A state district court granted him
an injunction, but the 14th Court of
Civil Appeals voided it on grounds
Zindler was not directly threatened
and therefore lacked legal standing
to complain.
The Texas Supreme Court re
jected Zindler’s appeal without
comment.

Stare at the nose on this
Mona Lisa. What do you see?
Four tiny dots are visible on her nose. To experi
ence an interesting phenomenon, stare hard at
the dots for 30 seconds. Then immediately look
at the blank square beside the Mona Lisa, and
blink both eyes quickly.
What you will see is called an "after-image".
Come to our free Mini-Lesson and we’ll show you
how this simple capability that everyone
possesses can be used to increase reading skills.
Not merely reading speed, but the ability to
remember what is read. For that, after all is said
and done, is what counts.
Do Most Students
Read Slowly?
Most students have no idea what their reading
ability is. If they are typical, they read about 300
words per minute (or one page of a novel). Why
is it that students read at virtually the same speed,
considering how very different they all are?
The cause can be traced back to the First
Grade. When we were taught to read, we were
asked to read out loud, word-by word. Later, in
the Sqcond Grade, we were asked to stop saying
each word out loud. But we never really did. Fact
is, you're saying these words right now —not out
loud, but to yourself, one word at a time!
This means you read only as fast as you talk —
about 250 to 300 words per minute. (As if to
prove the point. Guiness’s Book of World Records
lists John F. Kennedy as delivering the fastest
speech ever at 327 words per minute).
How Do You Learn lb Read
Faster? With The Same
Comprehension?
At the Mini-Lesson you will find out how the
Evelyn Wood course eliminates the habit of read
ing only one word at a time. How you can learn
to read 3 or 4 words instead of only one. To see
how natural this is. look at the dot in the middle
of this phrase:
the grass • is green
Try as you may you can’t help but see the
other words. With training, you learn to use this
natural, but un used potential. \bu learn to see
groups of words simultaneously. This will double,
triple, possibly quadruple your present ability.
This concept is diametrically opposed to the
old-fashioned speed reading technique of picking
out key phrases. In the Evelyn Wood course,
skimming is a dirty word!
Is there a positive value in reading faster 9 Ask
the honors student how fast he reads Chances
are he doesn’t know either. Test him and you may
find out he’s one of those rare birds who has
learned to read faster by accident . . or. more
likely by his sheer drive to succeed. That’s what
Evelyn Wood discovered in L)45

at the University of Utah in 1945. She handed in
her thesis, and on the spot her professor. Dr. C.
Lowell Lees, read the paper in a matter of minutes
and then discussed it with her in astonishingly
great detail. That incident inspired a 14 year
Odyssey during which Mrs. Wood first found 50
people who read at speeds ranging from 1500
words per minute to 6000 words per minute.
Then she found that they shared a number of
common characteristics. They read groups of
words, complete thoughts sometimes, and not a
word at a time. They rarely stopped to re-read a
word or a paragraph because they didn’t under
stand it. They finished the material first, went back
to re-read, if still necessary They hardly ever lost
their place — a common habit of slow readers. And
finally none of them got bored by their own slow
reading. Instead, they spoke of their reading as
though it were like watching a movie!
Painstakingly Mrs. Wood taught herself these
principles and increased her speed dramatically.
She too began to experience the excitement of
“reading a movie".
In 1959, the first course in Dynamic Reading
was offered to the public. That year, classes wAere
conducted for members of the U.S. Congress. The
revolution in reading was on!

Read what the University of Illinois student
paper said (Ed Sejud): “If a student avails himself
of all the facilities by the (Evelyn Wood) Institute
and attends all the class sessions, the price boils
down to only about $2 an hour, cheaper than any
private tutoring you’ll ever find. Spread over four
years, the course can save thousands of study
hours and can probably affect a boost in a student’s
grade-point average. Assignments which once
took days can be accomplished in a matter of
hours, leaving much more time for other pursuits.
The Institute estimates that it can save average
students 350 hours of study time each semester—
probably an understatement".
What Happens If I Flop?
If you fail to increase your reading ability at least
3 times, you receive a full tuition refund. No
catches, no hassles. We put it in writing :
THE GUARANTEE.
Any student w/ho attends every class, completes
the required practice, yet does not improve read
ing ability at least 3 times, as measured by the
beginning and ending tests, will be eligible to
receive a full tuition refund.

Why Do So Many Enroll?
This question w/as posed to several thousand
college freshmen w/ho had just enrolled in the
Evelyn Wood course The answers were varied,
but mostly on the same wave length: 1) They
wanted to reduce their study time: 2) They
wanted to feel more confident in class, more in
control: and 3) They wanted to learn more, to
achieve better grades
At the end of the course, each student was
asked if his goals were met. Over 95% said yes.
The other 5% received their tuition back (but
more of that later ). Look at these statistics,
compiled from a list of 43 college campus classes

Who Teaches The Course? Do You Lose The
Enjoyment of Reading Slowly— Of Savoring The
Literary Style? How Much Do You Have To
Practice? Does IQ Have Anything To Do With It ?
Can A Really Slow Reader Become A Dynamic
Reader?
Don’t take anybody’s word for it — not ours,
not anybodys. We developed the Mini-Lesson
so you could make up your own mind about
the course. The Mini-Lesson lasts only 1 hour.
During that short time, you have a chance
to try your hand at it —to find out if it really
can do the job for you. In 60 minutes over
80% of the audience increases reading speed.
Just a little, but enough to know what it’s like.
At the Mini-Lesson you will find out how the
Evelyn Wood technique handles difficult text
book material. How it improves memory and
concentration. How it makes reading a
pleasure instead of a chore. Let’s face it, if
the Evelyn Wood course is for real, you ought
to know about it.
