Electronic Equipment
Aids Study
Have you ever tripped over the grey, metal electronic boxes in A-203, A-217, or A-215? Those boxes are not there just to test one's coordination.

The boxes, the earphones at each desk, and the control panel in the front of the room make up the electronic classroom. These classrooms are used by the foreign language classes to aid the students in speaking and comprehension skills.

Each electronic classroom has two tape recorders and a record player. The speaker or the earphones located at each of the 36 positions can be used. Students can be recorded, talk to another member of the class through the individual microphones, or hold a private conversation with the teacher.
 Electronic classrooms are easier to use than the language lab located in A-213. The electronic classroom can be used for regular classes even when the equipment is not being used. The language lab, however, can only be used when the equipment is in use because the individual positions are enclosed by partitions.

Miss Rosalie Streng, German teacher, expressed her enthusiasm by saying, "It is very useful and practical. While it does not replace the teacher, it aids in listening, drilling, and speaking."
