PLACEME T OFFICE DOUGLAS J. McQUAlG JOHN F. JENKINS Financial Aids Officer Director of Placement and Housing Portland State students take advantage of the many services and iobs offered by the Placement office. The Placement Office is of imme- diate importance to more of Portland State's commuting student body than are similar offices at' campus institu- tions. The large number of students who work and the greater number of jobs available in this metropolitan area combine to make Director John Jenkins' headquarters in Old Main somethingof a college traffic center. According to placement records, there were 1844 part-time jobs listed and 4028 students referred by the of- fice this school year. At the full-time level, there were 297 positions of- fered and 696 students referred. Establishment this spring of a new scholarships and financial aids office under Dr. James Caughlan is recogni- tion of the students' dilemma in a pe- riod of rising college costs. The of- fice which will be in operation next fall will combine information and help on student loans, particularly the expanding federal loans under the National Defense Education Actg state and private scholarships, and the foreign student program. 29

Its modern lounge with comfort- able chairs and sofas offers relaxa- tion for theweary scholar. Its meet- ing rooms are crowded with all kinds of activities, receptions and banquets. In addition, the Center provides offices for the Vanguard, Viking, Associated Students, College Center Board and Directorate, Winter Car- nival, Fine Arts Festival and stu- dent administrative personnel. Most used by students and faculty alike is the cafeteria which is crowd- ed from 7:30 breakfast time through the dinner hour. The Co-op Bookstore and game rooms are in the basement. A new 2.5 million dollar addition will open during fall term 1961. It includes, on the new third and fourth floors, additional meeting rooms, a library browsing room, new offices for President Branford Millar and his staff. It will mean larger, more adequate quarters for all student ac- tivities, including bowling alleys and a barber shop.
