It has been a custom on our campus to cut the day before Homecoming, ami this year the council planned a real cut day; every- one dressed hobo style, went to the morning dance, ami had fun in-general. not her im- portant work of the council was to begin creating student interest in a War Council. The idea behind this was that we on Iowa Teachers campus could do more toward tin war effort ami could also he more aware of our capabilities in this effort. I'he council was very effective in its drive, and the result was creation of a Student W ar Council.

Placement B u reai t ( amfms School E. If. Goetch Guy II agnpr The Placement Bureau of the Iowa State Teachers College was organized in December, 1928. for the purpose of rendering direct service to current year graduates and alumni in helping them obtain teaching positions. The bureau has in its files the confidential credentials of more than 16,000 former stu- dents. alumni, and current year graduates. The director of the Placement Bureau gives personal counsel to college students and prospective registrants as to the most desirable teaching fields and teaching combinations which will make for better opportunities in teaching positions. The first concern of the Placement Bureau is to serve the children in our public schools by recommending the best available qualified candidates. Services were rendered not only to 10 states, hut la-ha. Cuba, and the District of Columbia, and the 99 counties in Iowa. Dr. E. V. Goetch is director of the Bureau. Since Dr. agucr i- the head of the depart- ment of teaching, the Campus School quite naturally comes under his supervision. How- ever. the actual directors of the school are tin two principals: Miss Mama Peterson is elementary school principal, and Mr. C. L. Jackson is principal of the secondary school. This school serves as a practice school for the college students who have completed enough class hours to he prepared for a term of student teaching. In the campus school, the college student experiences teaching con- ditions similar to those he might reasonably expect to find in other classrooms, lie also lias the advantage of having the other campus facilities, such as the library, the greenhouse, the large gymnasiums. On the other hand we find some of the students from the campus school who play in the college symphony or- chestra. take part in the weekly student recitals in Gilchrist Chapel, and in general are active in as many campus activities as are open to them. 6 Pm 29
