'Dissent' discussions slated
The University Christian Movement (UCM) will offer a four-week program called "Dissent: In or Out?" starting Oct. 12, in the Kansas Union.
The meetings will be from 8 to 9:30 p.m. and will include Depth Education Groups which will meet during the week for an exchange of views among non-University residents of Lawrence and persons within the University.
The first meeting will be held in the Kansas Union Big 8 Room. The next two meetings will be in the Union Ballroom and the last meeting will be in the Union's new auditorium.
Rafael Sanchez, coordinator of the series, said, "The role of dissent ought to be dealt with in the University." He said dissent was one of the pressing issues of the day, so the students in the UCM decided to explore the issue in greater detail.
The major objective of this series is to facilitate communication on the matter of dissent between all members of the Lawrence community. Sanchez said he hopes for an enrollment of at least 500 people.
Robert Shelton, assistant professor of religion, Ambrose Sarickes, professor of history and dean of the graduate school; and Richard von Ende, Abilene, Tex., graduate student and vice chairman of the Senate Executive Committee, will appear on Sunday to speak as a panel on "Recent Dissent Issues."
YOUTHFUL CONCERN
NEW YORK (UPI)—Four out of five school children care about the appearance of their city or town.
This was the finding in a survey of school children reported in the Litter Letter, bi-monthly publication of the National Council of State Garden Clubs.
"This has significant meaning for every community," the Letter said. "If 80 per cent of the young people would prefer to live in clean surroundings, an essential part of any local anti-litter program should emphasize more specifically what they themselves, as individuals and members of groups, can do to help make and keep them clean."

Why Do You Read So Slowly?
A noted publisher in Chicago reports there is a simple technique of rapid reading which should enable you to increase your reading speed and yet retain much more. Most people do not realize how much they could increase their pleasure, success and income by reading faster and more accurately.
According to this publisher, many people, regardless of their present reading skill, can use this simple technique to improve their reading ability to a remarkable degree. Whether reading stories, books, technical matter, it becomes possible to read sentences at a glance and entire pages in seconds with this method.
To acquaint the readers of this newspaper with the easy-to-follow rules for developing rapid reading skill, the company has printed full details of its interesting self-training method in a new booklet.
