The spaces will be occu­ pied till the end of the semester. According to chemistry pro­ fessor, Dr. Christine Kerr, the pond is sited over part of a run­ off. It was nine feet deep when the pond was opened in 1965. Now, the pond is one foot deep because it isn’t passing enough JOHN ARONSON sediments.
