Classroom Overcrowding

In reference to the overcrowding of many
classrooms, Mr. Shannon stated that he had
asked Vice-President Vincent Shea and Provost
David Shannon to examine classroom
overcrowding in order to determine if a better
utilization of classroom space could be made.

"The University is well below national Standards
in space utilization" he stated and that
such action on the part of Messrs. Shea and
Shannon was necessary "to ward off criticism
directed toward this before we ask the state for
more money."
