It's hard to believe that Finals Week is being men­ tioned this early in the semester. Those dreaded, test-filled days which end the term came up Tuesday at the Student Senate meeting. It was part of a proposal to extend hours at Memorial Student Center and give students more time to study or lounge, and even more time to do so during the stressful Finals Week. The bill, introduced by Sen. Adam Dean, College of Liberal Arts, woulc:Ltechnically just endorse a move by the MSC governing board to extend the hours. And at first, it would be done on a trial basis._But if enough stu­ dents hang around the student center, it likely could become permanent. For night owls, MSC would be open until midnight Monday through Saturday and 10 p.m.Sunday.
