EASTERN MONTANA COLLEGE OF EDUCATION VOL. II, NO. 2 BILLINGS, MONTANA JANUARY 20, 1950 Seeing Double Dancing Perhaps? Action On Residence Hail Delayed E. L. Cooper New Head Of Placement Bureau Construction Pending Governor's Approval \The major responsibility of the Teacher Placement Bureau is to help each beginning teacher from Eastern find the position in which he is most likely to succeed,\ ac- cording to Mr. E. Lyle Cooper, who was recently appointed di- rector of the bureau. \To do its job effectively, the bureau must have information—and lots of it,\ Mr. Cooper said. \We are attempt- ing to obtain information not on- ly regarding the registrant, but also regarding the school and community in which each vacancy exists. Then we shall attempt to serve both the school and the new teacher by recommending those applicants who feel we will fit the vacancy at hand. \It is particularly important,\ Mr. Cooper emphasized, \that each student who plans to teach next fall or earlier register with the bureau now. Miss Bonnie Witt, Placement Bureau secretary, will provide all necessary information and supply the necessary forms to anyone calling for them in room 114. The registrant's only financial outlay will be the cost of a few application pictures.\ Reiterating the importance of prompt action on the part of all who wish to avail themselves of the services of the bureau, Mr. Cooper stated that the function and purpose of the bureau will be explained in detail at an early meeting of the local student M.E.A. The International Studytour Al- liance announced recently that it is offering European research tours as prizes for an essay con- test it is sponsoring this year.

Coon Studios will take Annual Pictures January 31, 1950 SKI CLUB DANCE BIG SUCCESS Easternaires Featured Despite the sub-zero tempera- ture the largest crowd of the year attended the Ski Club dance last Friday. The \Easternaires the new Eastern dance band, made its initial appearance and was an immediate hit. Such a band is just what the College has needed for informal gatherings. The vocals of Bob Carbone and Rick Larson certainly met with student ap- proval if applause is any indica- tion of approval. Gene Brown per- formed nobly on the bass fiddle, while Don Walter amazed every- one with his skill on the keys. Bea Vogel and Jack England were responsible for this success- ful party. COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS' CONFERENCE Eastern College of Education is to be the center of a County Sup- erintendents' Conference, sponsor- ed jointly by the Montana State Department of Public Instruction and Eastern. The conference will extend from January 23 to Feb- ruary 10. Members of the State Depart- ment will be on campus during the conference. Mrs. Lillian Peter- son, rural school director, will be here the entire time. Miss Mary Condon, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, will be in at- tendance for a week and other members will come at various times. Dr. Peterson and the Depart- ment of Education have worked in cooperation with the State De- partment in making the arrange- ments. Governor Bonner has refrained from signing the contract for the girls' residence hall at Eastern Montana College of Education be- cause of a twenty thousand dollar deficiency in needed funds. Despite this fact it looks as though the girls will finally have a place of their own. The Billings Commercial Club is meeting to- morrow to form a plan for bor- rowing this amount. It is hoped that the money will be repaid within three years. If this amount is raised, Governor Bonner will sign the contract. The beautiful part of this situa- tion is that there is a possibility that most of the $20,000 will not be needed. If construction goes along very well, the building will be ready for occupancy by No- vember 1, 1950. If it is slow, the building will be completed by January 1, 1951. Knowing that the Commercial Club of Billings usually completes anything it begins, we of Eastern are quite sure that the necessary funds will be raised.
