Of the graduate students who just arrived at Waterloo to begin a masters
or PhD in computer science, just four out of about 40 are women.  Although
I don't know exact numbers for previous years, this must be quite a drop.
I believe the ratio in the previous few years was more like 1 in 5 or 6.

What about the other computer science departments out there?  Is this a
fluke local to Waterloo, or a trend?  If it is a trend, why are fewer women
going on to graduate studies?
