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.

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.
