Education Grads Aided b Teacher Placement Bureau Macalester's Teacher Placement Bureau serves a large number of Mac students. Almost half of each yearis graduates are education majors who seek positions in schools all over the U. S. About one hundred new graduates per year receive the help of the Bureau's Director Mr. Howard Williams in locating a teaching job. Mr. Williams is in charge of coordinating and distributing information which comes to the Bureau. Requests for a certain geographical location desired by a student are compared with available opportunities in that area that have come to the Bureau's attention. Job notices sent to Mac from all over the country are placed on a bulletin board where interested students are able to see them. Interviews for the applicants can be arranged. The Bureau,s results are rewarding: in 1960 they helped to place 199 Mac graduates in teaching positions. Howard Williams, Director of Teacher Placement lumni Office Communicates With Worldwide Clans As Alumni Secretary, Lloyd Peitzman is responsible for the organization of the annual Alumni Fund.

Relaxed Summer Session Adds Academic Emphasis Added emphasis is being placed on the academic courses for the upcoming Summer Session. The 1962 term features classes in four different languages. The Speech Department adds a dramatic touch with the production of four plays. Also, the National Science Foundation and the Coe Foundation offer programs for high school teachers. A primary reason for the popularity of this program, besides its accent on academic subjects, is that it enables the ambitious student to complete his college career in three years instead of the usual four. Many graduate students attend to take re- fresher courses or work toward higher degrees. The enrollment maintains a high level at around 500 students. A program with the proposed list of the yearis courses was distributed in February and students were polled about addi- tional courses they would like to see olfered. Director of the Summer Session program is Dr. Arnold Holtz, He is responsible for the scheduling of classes, co- ordinating activities, and he also teaches an introductory course in philosophy. The relaxed atmosphere of the session promotes Summer Session Director Dr. Arnold Holtz checks the SS bulletin. a pleasant and stimulating CduCatiOIlal eXpCI'iCI1CC. Night Owl Scholars Attend Final Evening College Term Evening College, under the direction of Dr. Richard Dierenlield, has completed c A its final year of serving the Twin City A community as a source of supplemental education. The demise of the program comes about as part of the emphasis on liberal arts at Mac. This limits the time and teaching talents that can be devoted to extra college offerings. During the two semesters of work offered each year, classes were held on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday eve- nings. Scholars who wished to earn credits toward a degree, desired professional training, or who simply enjoyed the pur- suit of knowledge were admitted. Two types of courses were available: those which students could either take for credit or audit, and non-credit classes in which a mark but no college advancement was awarded. Fields covered include languages, sci- ences, humanities, philosophy, education, and the line arts. Mac profs did the teach- ing honors as the nightowl collegiates attended the last of the evening classes. Would-be yachtsman Dr. Richard Dierenfield, Evening College Director. 26

S'Books and people tend to occupy the space provided for them -that's an adaptation of Parkinsons Law made by Librarian James Holly. Students and faculty have dehnitely taken advantage of the expanded facilities available since the completion of the large addition to the Weyerhaeuser Library. The new curriculum laboratory which houses a survey of educational material, supervised reference assistance, enlarged periodical area, and individual meeting and study rooms provides the Community with a panorama of library services. New florescent lighting installed in the stacks this year has helped to alleviate eyestrain. It was especially appreciated after a freak October electrical storm which incapacitated the generator and necessitated emergency lighting and searching for books with flashlights for several weeks.
