What problem at the office are Cathy and Stan discussing?

W: Stan. do you have a minute?
M: Oh, hi, Cathy. Sure. What’s up?
W: Well. I’ve been meaning to talk to you about the situation in the office.
M: [4]I’m not in there very often. It’s so noisy that I can’t work.
W: That’s exactly what I’m getting at. We’re supposed to be able to do our preparation and marking in that office. But have you noticed? [5]Jack constantly has students coming in to get help with their course. A lot of people are going in and out.
M: Has anybody spoken to him about it?
W: No. not yet. But someone’s going to have to.
M: We can’t really ask him to stop having students come in for help. can we?
W: No. of course not. But I’m not able to do my work and neither are you. I imagine it’s the same for the Others in the Office.
M: Hum, could we ask for a kind of meeting room? When teachers have to talk with the students, they could go to the meeting room and not use the office. You know, there’s a room down the hall, a rather small room, which we could ask to use. It’s only for storing supplies.
W: You mean that little storage room? Oh. that would be too small.
M: Are you sure? With the cabinets taken out, it might be bigger than it looks.
W: [6]Come to think of it, you may be on to something. I’d like to have a 100k at that room. Can we go there now?
M: Sure. Let’s go.
