IS THERE A SHORTCUT TO LEARNING PRONUNCIATION? No, there really isn't. Most students find it requires great concentration simply to hear new sounds correctly. But with the ATC 300L Tutorette® the student is assured of hearing accurately, and can readily compare the sound of the recorded voice with her own as she listens through the headset and repeats into the microphone. When she needs more repetition, she can stop the record by depressing the exclusive ATC Automatic Turntable pause control. (The Automatic Turntable starts the record when the pickup is removed from its rest, and stops it when the pickup is returned; the rubber idler wheel is completely disengaged when the pickup is secured to its rest.) The 300L has separate bass and treble controls, a standard phone jack for mike, and an input for tape recorder, or radio. With its 12-watt transformer-powered ampUfier and big 9" oval dual-cone speaker, it can even be used as a P.A. system. Like other ATC sets, it has a rugged Vinyl-covered metal-protected %" plywood case with ample storage space for the AC cord. Your professional A-V dealer would be pleased to arrange a demonstration, or we will send complete specifications.

The festival authorities, according to the announcement, "will tend to favor serious scientific studies of human life, and of the social reactions of the individual to his environment in any part of the world whatsoever; and by so doing to improve the quality of those documentary films that may be considered the expression of such scientific study." ► NEW FILM BOARD Governor Terry Sanford has announced the appointment of James Beveridge (National Film Board of Canada) and Ben Mast (ABC commentator) to the staff of the newly formed North Carolina Film Board. Its function— to tell the state's story in film both within its borders and beyon<l. Costs are covered by a grant from the Richardson Foundation.
