Under the confusion that now women students who are seeking husbands, geography, and philosophy, which have exists, he says, neither schools nor students but most assume that the percentage has been packed somehow into bulging old Gittinger Hall, will move to the new quar- ters. Gittinger will receive a spillover from Kaufman Hall, particularly from the Eng- lish department which has needed more room for some time .

A good percentage, says Blick, would be teaching severe- assistants, and their loss would Office Building of Social Science Center ly damage the graduate program.
