what's more

stepping around my new/temporary throw rug (aka. the opened copy of kaprow’s assemblage), i grab a copy of kitzhaber’s themes, theories, and therapy: the teaching of writing in college. saddened to find that this is one of the few passages in the book that actually makes the study’s findings, published in 1963, sound dated. in recognizing the various reasons students might have for pursuing a college degree, he writes:

“Many girls frankly want only a college-educated husband be cause of his greater earning power, and then plan to remain students just long enough to get one, then quit to go to work or have babies.”

(i wish i could also say that his use of the word “freshman” makes the text sound a little dated. but i can't.)
