as
      though
      both
      parties
      are
      presuming
     
     
      that
      this
      fact
      eliminates
      problems
      for

      So
      the
      question
      on

      is__
      have
      two
      pressing
      concerns.
      To
      To
      that
      point,
      I
      can
      assure
     
    
   
   
    
     
      now
      -
      will
      there
      be
      a
      strike?
      To
      be
      begin,
      many
      of
      our
      professors
      have
      everyone
      involved
      that
      it
      most
      cer-
     
     
      frank,
      no
      one
      really
      knows.

      any
      discussed
      the
      present
      situation
