Quest for There it is straight ahead . .. The Learning Re- source Center. Sure, it contains a wealth of information. But how is one to ever find it? As the freshman student finally en- tered the library in search of information for a class report, she was overwhelmed with the huge quantity of resources that were offered. She turned and walked out. Then suddenly real- izing what had to be done, she once again entered the library. Not knowing the orga- nizational classifica- tion system provided bythe Marcos de Niza Knowledge turned away. Eventu- ally, she headed to the information desk ready to plead for help. As always, li- brarians Sheila Wal- rath, Pat Whatley, and their crew were there to help. She was giv- en the grand tour of everything from ency- clopedias and other reference materials to audio-visual equip- ment and finally, ev- ery-day reading mate- rials, along with help- ful hints of when and how to use each. Soon, she finds that she has more than enough information gathered to complete the report. She leaves, relieved and satisfied. library, she again Shhh . . .

Summertime Escapes Where Did All the Teachers Go lt's summertime at MdN. The halls are empty, and the rooms are bare. The stu- dents are probably by their pools or watch- ing their favorite soap operas. But where have all the teachers gone? Teachers do various activities dur- ing the summer. Many of them hold jobs to add to their income because they do not get paid for their three-month vacation. Others work for extra- curricular reasons. Teachers also take advantage of the sum- mer to go to school to obtain their Master's Degrees. Teachers must obtain their de- grees' within eight years of getting their first certificate, or in- creased work is also valuable to career and salary advance- ment. ln addition, many teachers take time to learn subjects of interest, whether they teach them or not. Regardless of how they spend their sum- mers, and which op- portunities they pur- sue, some teachers and students agree that the best three things about school are June, July, and August. Mrs. Jamie Jones longs tor summer vacation.
