Student librarians appreciated Mrs. Mary Osthus has been head librarian for ten years with Mrs. Edna Flschnlch working as her assistant for several years. Sue Evans, Kevin McCluskey, Victoria Perrault, Julie Smidt and Steve Wheeler have spent their free time helping out in the library. These people check in and out the books and help the other students find materials that they may need. Mrs. Osthus along with Mrs. Fischnich and the other library aides had a library aides meeting including breakfast on February 9 in the library.

They now have ten sets of encyclopedias and many other types of reading materials. In future plans for the library Mrs. Osthus would like to remodel by enlarging the reading area, shelves and magazine storage. She would also like areas for small group studies. Used as a study hall by many, the library daesn 't seem like just a place to read books. Mrs. Osthus explained, I love it, the work and the people.

The change took place because teachers felt that the students did not find an interest in taking communication courses. These classes can be very helpful to the students when communicating to individual people or groups. For many jobs failure to be able to communicate with people acts as a detriment. The sophomores and freshmen enrichment programs continued for the second year with 23 members. These students may take a test at the beginning of the year to see if they qualify for the program. Once in the program, assignments and special projects challenged the students. The work included re- search papers, creative writing, college vocabulary, reading novels, classes required and attending a Guthrie production of Peer Gynt in Minneapolis Minnesota Starting at top left: first row: Kelly Maloney, Yolette Zepeda, Lisa LeMalr, Sean Fields, John Koch, Bridget Van Hove, Jenny Luke, Mary McGreevy.

When O'G business students talk people listen How do you spell rhinoceros? Where is the H key? Darn it, I'm 75 dollars overdrawn on my check- ing account. What's the differ- ence between the bear and bull market? Slow down, I can't write that fast! Who's going to type my term? I don't know how to fill out this application. How do you work this crazy machine? How the '-tfQ? - am I supposed to till out this income tax form? If you ha ve similar questions or problems, I suggest you register for a business class. They can teach you everything you need to know from shorthand to your legal rights. Classes include general busi- ness, which teaches basics like banking and money management, business English, dealing with punctuation, proofreading, and spelling: and Economics class. Business machines, Accounting I and Il, shorthand, Typing I, ll, and III, office practice, and business law, round out the remaining classes. A point that should be men- tioned, these classes are not just for those interested in business careers but for ordinary people dealing with everyday problems. Another good point, none of the business classes are required except typing I, so you're not forced to take any classes that you don't want. Typing I teaches students how to type without looking at the keys and mastering the keyboard. Do you know your home row keys? How many words a minute can you type? Typing ll develops your speed and accuracy and teaches you how to type business letters and such. Typing III reviews your basic skills to help you in college and maybe, just maybe, you could type 92 words a minute, like the person who typed this copy. All of us should take the economics class. Inflation and unemployment, things that are really bad right now, would be dealt with and would enable you to understand what causes it and what to do about it. Have you ever wanted to copy something and you go up to the copier and don 't know how to work it? You probably felt like a fool. Take office practice and that will never happen to you again. They train you how to work with all kinds of business machines. Ever think of being like E. F. Hutton? Aha, I got your attention, because when you hear the name E. F. Hutton people listen. Well, you could be like E. F. Hutton if you take accounting I or II. They teach you how to buy and sell stock. How about being like a person at H :Q R worrying about Block? No more income tax forms and receipts. No more going into Sears with a bunch of papers and receipts, walking to the H :Q R Block place and saying, Here, will you do my income tax for me? The guy naturally said, Sure , and you shell out big bucks to have him do it. Then you go home and wait another year until the government sends you another tax form. It's all a vicious circle! Well, no more! Take my advice, instead of having all these problems, take a business class and end the vicious circle! Vis: k' 23
