AFRO-ASIAN STUDENTS
Free University In Russia (N.Z. Press Association —Copyright) (Rec. 8 p.m.). MOSCOW, February 25. The Soviet Government plans to open a free university in Moscow for Asian, African and LatinAmerican students—and to pay their fares to and from the Soviet Union, the official Soviet news agency Tass announced last night. The university was promised by Mr Khrushchev in a speech to an Indonesian university audience, according to the American Associated Press. Tuition, board, lodging, books and medical services will cost nothing at the university. It will also grant stipends to its students. Tass said there would be 500 students enrolled by the end of this year and an eventual enrolment of 4000 is foreseen. Hidden Persuaders.—Advertisers in the port of Hamburg are using "talking pillars” to promote their goods. Revolving film comercials are projected against the pillar’s plastic wall from the inside, accompanied by a tape-recorded commentary. The pillars, a development of the pillars carrying paper posters which are common in Germany and France, have been nicknamed “hidden persuaders.”—Bonn.
