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.

i German Professors, ll-rl: Lieselohe Tschesche, Gordana Rezab, Evelyn Albinson, Veronica Wood. World Situation Spotlights German Because Germany is one of the crucial spots in our world today, the German language and culture are of greater inter- est than ever. The energy and vitality of the German people have played an im- portant role in world history. In the areas of literature, language, and music, and lately in industrial and scientific achieve- ments, Germany's contributions reflect its dynamic culture and people. Mac's German Department, headed by Professor Evelyn Albinson, equips the student with the necessary skills for a study of the German language and culture through its introductory courses. These basic courses stress grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation with the help of the language laboratory. Accounts of European Travels Enliven French Classes Miss Sundheim, Chairman of the French Department, and Miss Blegen returned this fall after one of their frequent trips to France. Inspired and refreshed from their travels, they were prepared by their first-hand knowledge to lead the department in its classroom duties. In their courses, the French professors aim to impart to the students a feeling for the people and culture of France. In the basic courses, correct pronunciation, grammar, under- standing, and oral ability are the main items on the agenda. Learning the many French idioms also occupies first year students. Intermediate students have the opportunity to read French works in the native tongue. If more extensive study is desired, they may elect such advanced courses as Nineteenth Century Literature: Romanticism or the Modern Novel. 'eww Le Puy was a French village visited by Prof. Sundheim.
