The Academic Council voted 30-19 against a proposal that would have restored the opportunity for evening exams. The result of this decision, reached during a closed meeting yesterday afternoon in the C.C.E., means a continuation of the current policy of the 8-9:30 a.m. Tuesday-Thursday exam period. The Council rejected the pro­ posal though the results of a Student Government survey, com­ pleted Sunday, show that over 53 percent of on-campus Notre Dame undergraduates favor night exams. This survey was submitted to the Council, and it included 2,137 participants. “ Students are almost evenly divided on preferences between 8 a.m. and night exam s,” the survey concluded. "Therefore, if one is made the norm, other options should be offered.” However, the rejection of the proposal does not allow for the option of night exams. The Academic Council also re­ jected a proposed extension of the current ten class day deadline for students who wish to take a pass-fail option. Instead of voting to extend the deadline to twenty class days, the Council voted to cut the deadline back to seven days. This will make the time available to take a pass-fail option conform to the ordinary add-drop period. Elected alternates, the Council recommended, should be allowed to represent student and faculty members of the Academic Council at future meetings. The substi­ tutes would have speaking privi­ leges, but they would not be allowed to vote. This recommendation needs rati­ fication by the Board of Trustees before becoming effective.
