says Dr. Ronald Lewis, assis-
[director of the Academic Coun-
ling Center at Texas A&M Uni-
About 40 percent of the parents of
incoming freshmen attend the
orientation programs held during
the summer, but Lewis thinks it
would be best if all parents at
tended.
He feels the program not only
aids parents, but also allows the
university to make personal contact
with the family, giving Texas A&M a
better understanding of student
needs.

(Radio /hack)
The Realistic hi-fi receiver
Shootout. You’re lucky if you’ve
waited until now.
men •
The benefits of owning Realistic stereo compo
nents (as against Pioneer, Marantz and other
front-runners) should be obvious. But they aren't.
So we explain them every so often, particularly at
model-change-time, which is a happening that
begins today. We agree Realistic and other
famous national brands are in some ways
lookalikes in power, beauty and suggested retail
price. That's where the similarity ends. Realistic is
available only where there's a big Radio Shack
sign out front. Realistic is designed by and
custom-crafted by (or for) Radio Shack. No one
else. That means we sell direct. Direct in every
state, in more than 9 countries (including Holland
and Australia, for example). We service what we
sell. And since we sell more receivers, probably,
than any other chain of audio shops in the world,
that means The Shack® has more buying power
and dedicated salespeople than anybody. One
thing we don't have many of is rugs on the floor.
Millionaires may not like our low-key, low-cost
environment but music lovers do. Like Peter Nero,
who knows how to pinch a penny. Like Arthur
Fiedler, our friend and customer since about
1948. One more thing: this sale is not on at
Pacific, Atlantis. Tech, Custom or Federated.
Only at Radio Shack.
