.. .because the smaller Advent loudspeaker, for $92, is the least expensive speaker
to reproduce the lowest octave of bass. You should hear it.
Audio Concepts drives the Advents with the popular Harmon Kardon 330B
receiver, with plenty of power and a recent "best buy" rating by the leading
consumer testing organization.
A revolution in turntable design—the BIC 940 belt drive turntable—completes the
system with the excellent Audio Technica AT13eA cartridge. The BIC 940 is quiet,
smooth, and reliable, while the Audio Technica cartridge fully realizes the potential
of the system.
Purchased separately, these components would sell for $591. Together, Audio
Concepts charges only $495—a bargain made even better by our concern for your
satisfaction.
For $495, this is the best kind of deal—a lot more than you expected; in fact, the full
range of audible sound.

sprints. However, Simpson's
injury is not as bad as
originally thought, and he
should be running at full speed

In other events, Rice's Mike
Fulghum became the third
Owl trackster to qualify for the
US Olympic Trials, to be held
later this year. He did it by
running an outstanding time
of 13.8 in the high hurdles. Jeff
Wells provided Rice's only
victory by winning the 10,000-
meters in 28:55, just 15 seconds
over the Olympic qualifying
time in that event.
Two new school records
also established
were
in
Austin. Larry Nettles, Ken
Tolbert, John Lodwick, and
Wells rewrote the record in the
four-mile relay with a 16:42,
good for ninth in a field of 23
teams. Rory Trup, Lodwick,
Tolbert, and David Bey^r
teamed up in the two-mile
relay, clocking a new school
record of 7:29.6 for seventh.
