Student group leaders said they were pleasedwith the proposals for better accommodations.

"I'm very excited about it," said Geoffrey A.Fowler '00, editor-in-chief of Diversity andDistinction, which spent several years on awaiting list for an office before being givenspace this year.

"The number of on-campus student organizationshas grown tremendously, and for them not to havespace makes Harvard look bad," said Fowler, who isalso a Crimson executive.

Finally, the committee suggested thatdepartments give first priority to schedulingclasses before accommodating departmental seminarsand conferences.

Faculty Council members said they generallyapproved of the proposals.

Mallinckrodt Professor of Applied PhysicsWilliam Paul was also supportive.

"I'm very interested in the proposals," hesaid. "I didn't want to see time and money spenton expanding classroom space when weren't makinguse of the space we already have."

"I'm certainly resistant to teaching at 9a.m.," he said.

Several students agreed.

"There's not a chance in hell [I would take a 9a.m. class]," said Maja K. Byrnes '00. "There' noway I would ever make it there on time ".
