Final Exam
4-al-Day Needed
To File Conflict
Under a new administration policy, only students with
more than three final examinations on the same day may
file a conflict.

Growing Pains
Of Nittany Lion
May Suit Him
It looks like the Nittany Lion
may "grow" a new fur coat by
next football season.
All he needs is $3OO.
The Lion has been running
around at football games and pep
rallies in a suit that has been
literally worn down to the bare
necessity. So, a campaign was
started to buy a new suit of real
lion skin and fur.
A new suit will cost $lO5O and
about $750 has been raised so far.
The latest contribution was $46.42
from a collection taken at the pre-
Pitt game pep rally.
John Lange, head cheerleader,
said there are no d finite plans
now for raising the rest of the
money. He said, ho ever, a col
lection in any lar e gathering
should bring the fund near its
goal.
The Athletic Association dona
ted $2OO to the fund and $502 was
collected at the Marquette football
game.

uling officer Ray V. Watkins, per
mitted the filing of conflicts by
students- who had more than two
examinations on the same day.
Miller said, however, that he
is willing to consider student
opinion in whether they wish to
be able to file conflicts for three
examinations on the same day.
"If the present policy creates
sufficiently serious academic
problems for the students," Mil
ler said, the policy will be recon
sidered.
"The door is still open for a
change," he said.
The Daily Collegian erron
eously reported yesterday, in
announcing th e examination
schedule, that three or more
examinations on the same day
would be grounds for filing a
conflict.
Conflicts must be filed by 5
p.m., Dec. 10.
In the past the filing of conflicts
for three examinations on the
same day was made with no guar
antee that a conflict examination
would be available. Conflicts were
given to those students only if
the examinations had to be re
scheduled for other students.
About 50 per cent of the stu
dents who have three examin
ations on the same day prefer
to take them all on the same
day rather than filing a conflict.
Miller said.
The new policy was also insti
tuted this year because of the in
crease in the number of courses
and limited amount of time in the
examinations period.

Slick Slope;
Soleau Solos
Smacks Shrub
By Janet Beahan
The.new campus winter sport,
'cardboard cruising," has taken
is first victim.
Lynn Soleau, sophomore in lib
eral arts from Pittsburgh, decided
Tuesday night to test her dexter
ity and take a slide down the
slick slope between the two rows
of South Halls.
Her first few attempts were
short, half-hearted slides stand
ing up.
As her adeptness increased, so
did her courage, and soon she
was ready to try a cardboard box.
She seized the box and sat
down, her bermuda-ed legs con
trasting with the fur lined gloves
and engineer boots of the other
sportsters. She cast off and all
looked well for about five sec
onds.
About half-way down the hill,
however, her progress was halted
by one of the newly planted trees
in the landscaping pr o j e ct. It
was a direct hit and after un
wrapping her legs from the ever
green, she limped back to her
dorm in despair.
Miss Soleau was treated in the
infirmary yesterday for an in
jured cartlidge in her right knee.

The 10 picnic areas recom

Camping sites with small areas
where tents could be pitched will

According to Smythe, the lake
will be large, deep and isolated;
therefore, skating would be dan

The' Beaver Dam project, when
completed, will make an excel

said. This area, with the Univer

skating area, he said.
