Simple logic puzzle

Just a small logic puzzle that I wrote:

Graduate Interviews

Six friends have just graduated from college and applied for a job at the same company. All six are applying for different jobs (one is in Purchasing) and hold different degrees (one is in Music). The three people interviewing them have scheduled them each for a private interview in either the morning or afternoon in one of three rooms. The nine people (six applicants, three interviewers) are five men (Abe, Charles, Ed, Hal, and Ivan) and four women (Becky, Darla, Fawn, and Gina). Determine who the interviewers were, which two people each of them interviewed, what job those people were applying for, and what degree each applicant holds.

1. If two men had the same interviewer, that person was also a man. No one was in the same room more than once.

2.  The six people present at interviews in the morning were Gina, Fawn, the man with a Physics degree (who is not ivan), the one applying for a job in finance, and the two men using the conference room.

3. Becky came to an interview straight from lunch. Ed arrived after Ivan left.

4. The three job seekers in the afternoon were the one with a degree in mathematics, the one who interviewed for a job in Operations, and the one who interviewed in the Library.

5. Three of the four women are the one involved in the interview for the Public relations job,  the one with an English degree, and the one who interviewed the psychology degree holder.

6. Fawn spent the afternoon in an interview with Charles (which was conducted in the corner office).

7. The interview of the art degree holder happened after the interview for the director of sales position. The woman seeking a job as a librarian was not interviewed in the library.
