One of the major objections to retaining rents as they are is that the deconversion which will result from moving upperclassmen into Quincy House would necessitate a drastic raise in the upper rent bracket. However, it appears that this possibility has been overemphasized. While deconversion may indeed occasion a small general increase in rents, most of the newly-vacated space will be taken up by non-resident tutors' offices and upperclassmen moving out of Wiggles-worth and perhaps out of Claverly...

Only the lower parts have been observed with any accuracy. The upper limits are deduced from knowledge of the magnetic field. The Air Force's Pioneer, soaring far past the 1,400-mile level reached by the Explorers, confirmed "tentatively and partially" that the lethal radiation drops off sharply around 7,000 miles...
...Ph.D. (often in some totally unrelated course to the language they are teaching). As Francis M. Rogers, professor of Romance Languages and Literatures, points out, "Everytime we find a particularly good elementary teacher, he just gets picked off to be a section man in French 20 or some other upper-level course.
