Courses Stress Self Improvement Gary Jones and Nancy Vail stop in the library and listen to The Death of a Salesman Students are able to listen to specially selected records via the use of earphones. This system was installed to give the students of Phoenix College the chance to hear some of the better records now available. Taking advantage of the read- ing center facilities are Eric Abrahamson, Toni Gass, and Donald Frey. Instruments be- ing used in the picture are the tachistascope and reading rate accelerator. You can lead a horse to water . . . is an old saying, but it is. true even in this era of outer-space travel and rockets. A student may have the best of opportunities but, unless he has an inner drive, all the opportunities and instruction in the world will do him little good. Phoenix College makes every effort to give every student a chance to improve himself. The Reading Clinic helps students improve their reading speed and comprehension - and great improvement is to be noted in a majority of cases. The Library, too, has added equip- ment this year which enables students to lis- ten in to recordings without disturbing others who are hard at work with their library studies. Seven turn-tables with earphone attachments have been installed at the south end of the reference room. All the listener has to do is attach his record and hearing aid. After that he can listen as long as he likes.
