By TIMOTHY SCHICK The number of research proj- ects at the University has been stable in recent years, but few- er professors are undertaking he work, University Vice Presi- dent for Research Charles Over- berger reported yesterday. Addressing the Senate Advi- sory, Committee for University Affairs (SACUA) Overberger re- iterated remarks made to the Board of Regents last fall, say- ing research is the key to the University's prestige and must be strengthened to maintain its reputation. "THE QUESTION we have to ask ourselves is "Has the pro- portion of faculty members with research projects been going down?" he said. Overberger pointed out that. while the total number of research projects over the past few years has re- mained constant, "the number of professors' doing research has decreased." Overberger said one reason for the decline may be the Uni- versity's tabulating system, which "counts" only the senior researcher even if. several per- sons are working on a project..

If you're getting behind in your studies and need a speed reading course, but you can't afford the cost, then I've got something for you. It's a simple new way of helping you learn tested and proven speed reading techn ques found in the most famous reading programs at a fraction of their cost. I taught speed reading for abot five years, and watched the price go up from $150 to $400. That is a major expenditure, and I think that I can help people learn those same tech- niques for a lot less money. So, I've put together a speed reading and study effectiveness course called Reading Effectiveness Training andI'm ooffering it at an introductory price of $26.95. This price includes classroom instruction, a 140-page reading manual, a cassette tape of reading instructions, and a cassette of reading drills that will help you push up your reading speed and increase ycur reading comprehension. Don't let the low price fool you. Most students double their reading speed within one class session, and many are reading close to a thousand words per minute within a week, with regular practice. But the course goes beyond reading speed. It shows you a whole new way to organize your learning. You learn to put your notes from a whole chapter or even an entire book on one piece of paper. You learn to integrate your class and reading notes on a single page of your notebook. Studying for a test or writing a paper is easy with all your notes on one page. You also learn a multiple study process with your speed reading skills that wvl cut your study time and free you to do your own thii It doesn't wor for everything. I couldn't use it in Statistics or math classes, but it is great for almnost anything else. I'd really like to see these techniques go to work for you. Give me a call today and lets work something out. I'm Leon Soderquistro fSoderquist Associates. SODERQUIST ASSOCIATES 1568 South 1100 East Room 2 Salt Lake City, UT 84105 Dr. Soderquist, please let me try your Reading Effectiveness Training Course for 15 days. If I am not satisfied that it will do what you claim, I will return your material within that time for a full refund. On that basis, here is my $26.95.

I don't believe in capital punishment," she said, "but the way the government is set up, when they decide the execution date and don't go through with it in a certain period, they have to let the person go." "That's not right either," she added. Several students said they were disturbed by the publicity the case had received. Gradu- ate student Jerry Breuer said Gilmore "made a mockery of the entire affair." "There was too much publi- city," Holden said, "He'll prob- ably go down in history just for that."

Amalrik's own st r ug gIe' against the internal policies of the Soviet regime span a decade and led to his expulsion from the USSR last April. . Moscow University expelled Amalrik in 1965 for writing a politically unacceptable paper on the origin of the medieval Russian state. OU*T OF SCHOOL and unable to land a job Amalrik was con- victed for economic "parasit- ism" and sent into Siberian ex- ile. This experience provided the basis for his first book, Involun- tary Journey to Siberia. This work was quickly followed by his best known effort, Will the Soviet Union Survive Until 1984? Both were published in the west in 1970 which led to Amal- rik's conviction on charges of "defaming the Soviet State." He According to Amalrik, how- over, this type of policy works only temporarily - only until the blarkmailer decides to its demands. "I don't want to be known as a person who smnoorts the cold war," he said. "But coonerating with Communist countries does- n't necessarily preclude resist- ing them, and resisting them doesn't preclude cooperation," he explained. AMALRIK HIT President-elect Carter's camnaign statement that he wouldn't intervene, in the event of a Soviet invasion rof Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia, al- though Communist, in indepen- dent of the U.S.S.R. "Soviet leaders will look on this as an invitation to Yugoslavia," he said. Within the Soviet Union, the "democratic forces" are very weak, according to Amalrik. He attributed this to Russia's lack of a democratic tradition. "The Russian people simply don't knoy what democracy is," he said.

In "1'984", Amalrik predicted the imminent destruction of the Soviet Union as a resilt of a cataclvsmic war with China. Amalrik's talk was sharply, critical of the entire history of U.S. policy toward the USSR. He especially attacked the cur- rent Ford-Kissinger policy of detente: "THE RELATIONSHIP of de- tente is like the relationship of a shon-keeper and a gangster," he said. "The shopkeeper gives the gangster a little something to keep things quiet. The hood takes this in money, in credits, or maybe in grain," he con- tinued, referring to various forms of U.S. trade and assist- ance to the Soviets. FOR THIS REASON, Amal- rik contended that democracy will have to be imposed from t without in order to take root. The U.S. should attempt to do this. but shouldn't expect quick resilts, he added. Despite its lack of democrat- ic traditions, however, Soviet society is permeated vith dis- satisfaction, Amalrik said. "From the bottom, this dissat- isfaction has taken the form of sabotage, missed work and even small insurrections," he stated. "If this dissatisfaction in the working class could join with the democratic movement of the intellectuals, this could pre- sent a great threat to,the So- viet regime," he continued. - That is exactly what Amal- rik hopes to see. In his view, the alternative is a catastrophic war with China that would ac- complish the same goal, but at a terrible human price. YI ROIi BRPM IM'?.1IA111 Lll ll i+ YI R. _;. _.. x..
