Thanks to all for the information about the Ames room. I might decide to
make it smaller. My original reason was political. There is a room in our
building that is not currently being used. It is too small for a classroom
but great for a computer lab (ours is new but crowded). Off to the side of
the room is a long alcove without windows. My colleagues and I figured that
if we could demonstrate that we needed the alcove for classroom
demonstration, it would strengthen our argument for the room itself. Wasn't
it John Kenneth Galbraith who said "the reason academic politics are so
vicious is because there is so little at stake"?
