Renner and Nagle urge for study days

Board of Governance has set out to obtain study days for the Saint Mary's student body, days that Notre Dame students already receive before finals.
"Regard-less of what the day is used for we would need a day to recuperate before exams," Crissie Renner said.
Renner, student body president for the 2000-2001 school year, and vice president Michelle Nagle, presented the board's ideas to Marilou Eldred, President of Saint Mary's College, and Linda Timm, vice president for Student Affairs.
"If not a study day, maybe the faculty can make the week before finals paper and test-free," Nagle said. "Maybe that day could be used for review sessions. Hopefully we can come out of this with something."
Renner and Nagle took the proposal, originally constructed by outgoing BOG president Nancy Midden and vice president Angie Little, to Eldred and Timm to obtain feedback and advice before they send the proposal on to the next step, a presentation before the Faculty Assembly, next year.
"Dr. Eldred and Dr. Timm are behind us 100 percent," Renner said. "The proposal has already been endorsed by the 1999-2000 BOG."
