One student, he said, had ex ams scheduled for 8 a.m., 10:20 a.m. and 1 p.m. on the same day, all in his major subject. "The ruling was not made to flunk students," he said. Miller said, however, that the students had shown very little ob jection to the new ruling. "Only four students took the time and trouble to make a protest to the Scheduling Office," he said. There were six other students who might file protests depending on which subjects exams were in, he said. There may have been other students who felt an objection who did not express it, he said, but a "furor may have been • raised over very little." Miller stressed that a student who files for a conflict exam is not guaranteed that one will be scheduled. "Somebody may be stuck with three exams in one day," he said. That a conflict exam could be arranged was never guaranteed even under the olds system, Miller said.

The motion, passed by Cabinet, was requested by Ralph McComb, University librarian, to ensure a more effective observance of si lence throughout the library by preventing students from congre gating in the , hallways to talk or smoke. McComb told All-University president Jay Feldstein that if Cabinet would not do anything about the noise he would send the campus patrolmen in to sup ervise the hallways and library rooms. Cabinet members felt that Student policing would have a better effect in curtailing noise than would a campus patrol man.

The plan calls for four 8-story buildings for coeds and two 8-story and one 6-story building for men. The area will have a dining hall containing a post office and recreation facili ties which will also be used for men of the Nittany area.
