We feel that a position should be made for George Quasha, visiting professor in the Language and Literature Division, for the 1975-76 school year. In a short arn ount of time, he has becomc an inspiration and catalyst in our education. He has given a very large arnount of time and energy to students, both those who are enrolled in his classes, and those who are not. His influence has been so positive 'that we don't want to Jose him. Previously, the number of students interested in writ ing p,oetry much exceeded the ~umber of teachers necessary to accomodate their rreeds; George Quasha's effective presence has alleviated this situation.
