The White Falcon is published
weekly on Friday in accordance
with NAVEXOS P-35, revised

personnel of the Naval Station,
Keflavik. It is printed at the Na-

offered to personnel
The naval station education
and training office and the Kef-
lavik center of the University of
Maryland plan to conduct speed
reading classes for military and
civilian defense force personnel.
The objective of the course
will be to improve an individual's
reading ability by stressing
speed and comprehension. Neither
high school nor college credits
will be given for completing the
course, which will include a
study of basic reading skills and
in-class practice with little or
no homework.
Classes will be limited to 25
students each, and those wishing
to enroll must register in per-
son at the U-of-M office in Bldg.
752. A student may confirm his
enrollment, which will be on a
first-come-first-serve basis, by
paying the course fee of $40-$45,
which includes cost of books and
material.
Because the course will not
qualify for USAFI high schooled
college credits, students may
take advantage of tuition
plans or the GI Bill to supple-
ment their expenses.
Two classes are scheduled for
each of the eight week sessions,
which are expected to coincide
with the University of Maryland's
college terms.
The first class will meet be-
tween 6:30 and 8:30 Monday and
Wednesday evenings at the A. T.
Mahan School, and the second
class will meet at the same times
on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Jane Peel, who has taught many
speed reading classes in the past,
will be the course instructor.
For additional information,
please call Ext. 6226.
