"Considering all the damage be- ing done, the residents aren't pay- ing enough rent. But most of the trouble is being caused by a fringe minority that has no respect for the rights of others and want rights only for themselves," he said. Because of the high costs of building maintenance, interest on loans, taxes on real estate and personnel wages, amortization of the building is not expected for at least 30 or 35 years, the manager noted. "We employ nine security men just to stop unauthorized outsiders from entering the building," Meyers noted. But there seems to be no foolproof way of keeping nonresidents from coming in to watch television or play pool. Meyers noted that a mixer held last Friday night on the premises had been a "big mistake which we won't make again." The crowd in the lobby and lounge grew so big at times that residents had difficulty reaching elevators to get to their apartments. Most of those attending the mixer were nonresidents and even non- students, contrary to its original purpose, which was to provide a social opportunity for building residents. A $25 refund on the monthly rental was offered to the residents in November because of incon- veniences suffered when the build- ing first opened in late August. 2ND WEEK Direct from its Roadshow Engagement Across Campus WEDNESDAY, JAN. 19 atre Program will present the' Noon-Toby Hendon, director of American Conservatory Theatrea Children's Community School, will Company in Edward Albee's "Tiny discuss A.

The University Musical Society presents PHYLLIS CURTIN1 RENOWNED SOPRANO OF THE METROPOLITAN OPERA United Nations Starts Fight on Illiteracy By The Associated Press UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.-UN experts are making a small be- ginning toward a large campaign aimed at ridding the world of illiteracy within a generation. , The campaign has the blessing of the UN general assembly. It is getting UN technical assistance. But it was planned and is being supervised by the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organiza- tion (UNESCO). UNESCO, a UN specialized agency with headquarters in Paris, estimates that .in the middle of this century around 700 million people over 15 years old, or more than two-fifth of the world's adult population, were illiterate- that is. unable to read and write. It figures that around 500 mil- lion of these were in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Three years ago it worked out a program to make 330 million of the 500 mil- lion-all of them under 50- literate in 10 years at a cost of' $1.9 billion. Program Too Costly But that program was found to be too costly and complicated to tackle right off the bat. So two years later UNESCO proposed that the campaign start as an experi- ment in only eight countries to be spread over five years at an es- timated cost of $33 million. The experiment is meant to show how to get people interested in learning to read and write, how much it costs to teach them, how their new learning can benefit them and how it can help develop their countries. Rene Maheu, U'NESCO's direc- tor-general, told the general as- sembly's economic committee the other day that 40 countries had asked to be allowed to take part in the experimental program. The eight chosen to do so were Algeria, Guinea, Mali, Tanzania, Iran, Pakistan, Ecuadorrand Ven- zuela. They have illiteracy rates ranging from 32.7 per cent of the population over 15 years old in Ecuador, up to an estimated 95- 99 per cent in Guinea and Mali, compared with 2.5 per cent in the United States. From one to three UNESCO ex- perts-economists and educators paid by the UN Expanded Program of Technical Assistance-are now in each of the eight countries on short-term assignments costing no more than $100,000 all told. Joint Financing They are helping the govern- ments prepare requests for more costly literacy training projects to be financed jointly by those gov- ernments and by a larger THIN technical aid agency, the Special Fund.' Those projects are to wind up by 1970. They are intended to prove that literacy training is of such value to national economic de- velopment that plenty of money to pay for it will be forthcoming both from national and inter- national sources. Maheu summed the situation up like this: . " "We are ready for action --- "For the first time, the world appears to be materially, techni- cally and psychologically able to eradicate illiteracy in a relatively shortatime, perhaps within one generation." i n recital THURS., JAN. 20 8:30 P.M IN HILL AUDITORIUM Program of music by Rossini, Schubert, Richard Strauss, Berlioz, Debussy and Surinach.

(Continued from Page 1) only action taken by the SGC committee in the past year has been their request for all houses to submit their membership rec- ommendation forms for review by the SGC committee. These forms are used by alumnae to recom- mend rushees to sorority actives, and many houses cannot pledge a girl unless she has at least one "recommend." Originally, the vote on the Pan- hellenic committee was supposed to take place at the end of last semester, but, according to Miss Fitch, the presidents' council felt that they needed more time to discuss the matter and to get rem actions from their national orga- nizations. Postponement Early this semester, Panhel planned to vote on 'the matter today, but postponed it once! again, this time because of rush. Miss Fitch said that the time re- quired for rushing made it diffi- cult for the presidents to find time for a meeting, and added that, whether or not the committee is formed, "the publicity would be confusing to rushees. Most of them don't understand the issue of discrimination, and we didn'ti want to' spend all of final des- serts explaining it." As far as the actual situation concerning sorority membership selection goes, this spring is the first time that the two Negro sororities on 'campus, Alpha Kap- pa -Alpha and Delta Sigma Theta. have participated in regular Pan- hellenic -rush. Until now, they have had an associate rush, which was held at the same time as ordinary rush, but participation was . optional for rushees. This semester, using the houses of Lambda Chi Alpha and Trigon fraternities, the two sororities met 'all 1,125 rushees during first set.-' Final Desserts Brendon Hudson, '68, rush chairinan of Delta Sigma Theta, said 'yesterday that two white girls .have participated in third set and have been invited to final des- serts with her sorority. Brenda Jones, '68, rush chair- man of Alpha Kappa Alpha, re- ported that some white girls will be returning to her sorority, but declined to say how many. Miss Fitch said that the two fraternities who lent their houses "have been really wonderful."
