But Kain is one of the faculty members Vigier mentions with little professional planning experience. Vigier says Kain has harmed the department by bringing in junior faculty who share his outlook on city planning.

Despite the complaints, students are eager for a GSD planning degree. Stephen G. Hoffman '64, registrar in the GSD says applications to the department have risen steadily. About 255 people applied for 120 spots in 1978, and this year 240 have already applied. He said nobody who declined an invitation to attend the school mentioned the APA decision as a factor.

James H. Evans, a second-year student who has been coordinating employer recruitment efforts this semster, has had four or five job offers himself and says students who look hard for jobs are very satisfied with what they find.

Most second-year students say they are satisfied with the city planning program, although they were less happy while studying the core curriculum during their first year.

"I was forced to learn a lot of things that I wouldn't have enrolled in myself, but in retrospect I'm glad I had them," Evans said, adding, "A lot of us didn't know that we needed those courses, so we hated them while we were in them."

With Kilbridge's resignation, the future direction of GSD is now as unknown as the identity of the new dean. Some observers believe the post will be filled by McCue, whom critics of Kilbridge have found more acceptable. However, McCue seems to support Kilbridge's policies. Thus, his accession could continue the untraditional outlook of the CRP.
