This is the second article in a series adapted from Ehrlich's book, "How to Study Better and Get Higher Marks." BY EUGENE H. EIIRLICH Fre Press Special Writer One of the most important reasons for failure in the freshman year of college is that students do not know how to read well enough to do college work. 1 1 a i.

A reading test accompanies this article. As explained in the test, your goal should be variety of reading speeds to meet the requirements of the material you are faced with. Thus you will read novels for book reports faster than the speed you will use studying your textbooks. The best program for achieving the reading techniques you are capable of is not completed overnight, but there is no time like the present for getting under way.

HERE IS a five-point attack: READ WIDELY. If you are not now in the habit of always having at least one book in your room that you read for pleasure at least a few hours a week, then begin at once. The best way of selecting books is to ask your teachers for a reading list. Include fiction, biography, and works in your favorite area, such as adventure, history, exploration, etc. Set yourself the goal of at least one book every two weeks.

Llewellyn E. Thompson, the United States ambassador, conferred with Andrei A. Gro-mykc, the Soviet Foreign Minister, for two hours and 20 minutes to ascertain whether there exists a "reasonable basis" for four-power negotia-j tions. IT WAS UNDERSTOOD that the conversation at the Soviet Foreign Ministry reviewed pre-j exchanges without chang-j ing the positions on either side The talks resulted from a decision made by the United States.

MEANWHILE, Izvestia, the; Soviet Government published a statement by Pre-i mier Nikita Khrushchev in which he called for "peaceful coexistence" and the settlement of "burning international prob-I Iems" through negotiations. Khrushchev called for ac- ceptance of Soviet proposals for "full and complete dis- armament under strict inter- national control, liquidation of shameful colonial systems and the immediate conclusion of a German peace treaty and I the normalization of this ba- sis of the situation in West i Berlin."

His salary probably will be about the same a3 the he received for running America's fifth' largest city. Miriani, an attorney, wa3 chief counsel for the Legal Aid Bureau from 1930 to 1354. He wa3 first elected to Common Council in 1347. Miriani was president of Council from 1343 until September, 1357, when he became mayor upon the death of Albert E. Cobo.

He wa3 elected to a four-year term in November, 1357. A re-election bid failed when Jerome P. Cavanagh outpolled him last Nov. 7. LOUIE.

JERRY The Tivain Never Met Louis C. Miriam' and hi3 successor, Jerome P. Cavanagh. never did get together to pass over the reins of Detroit's City government in the ght week3 between election and inauguration. Cavanagh, an outspoken critic of Miriani in his campaign, visited the City-County Building several times the interim, but not the mayor'3 office.

Miriani had already cleaned out hia desk and wis gone before Cavanagh moved Tuesday. The young mayor took over with calm confidence, warning that Detroit's financial picture is "dismal" and will take years to remedy. HE CALLED for "the finest! police protection possible" for; the City and elaborated on the; possibility of extending the DSR into a metropolitan trans-! portation system. Cavanagh said he will try to "awaken the spirit of a new and bold Detroit." The 30-minute ceremony in the Ford Auditorium was somber as well as gay. THE HIGHLIGHT came when the 33-year-old Cavanagh was summoned from the wing3 to take his oath as Detroit's 54th mayor.

And the handsome lawyer, family and friends beaming, responded with a 12-minute inaugural speech, the first words of which told of feel- mgs- "At no time before in my life have I felt the need for divine guidance more keenly than I do this evening." Cavanagh's speech, made of ficially to Common Council, was directed to Detroit as a whole. It came after City Clerk 'Thomas D. Leadbetter, him self starting a new term, had in tlie mne members cf new Council. mne th-ee were beginning their first terms James H. Bricklev.

And the majority of his learning takes place through reading. This is in contrast to most high school work in which the emphasis is upon class discussion.

Yet reading is tremendously important in high school and becomes increasingly so as the student moves ahead through the four years. FOR TWO REASONS, then, the high school student must make an effort to read as well as he can: high school success is affected by it and college survival depends upon it. There has been a great deal of emphasis In recent years on how fast we read. Yet, while reading speed is Important, how well we read Is much more important. Good reading is primarily a process of getting all you should from a book, newspaper, or magizine.

Once you are happy with the quality of your reading, you should turn your attention to how fast you read. Fortunately, readers who do the best job of getting meaning also read quickly.

Meanwhile, the DSR should increase its service. Adequate service can only be provided with a tax subsidy. POLICE The Mayor is confident that George Edwards will prove to be an outstanding police commissioner. The aim of the Cavanagh administration is to give Detroit outstanding protection without violating the civil rights of any citizens.
