By joint action of both societies Saturday night the Commencement banquet was made free, the entire expenses of it to be borne by the so cieties as organization.,, instead of only part by the societies and the rest by those members attending, as heretofore. This action means much for the throwing open of Commence ment. There have always been those, heretofore, who stay for Com mencement and - remain away from the banquet, one of the most enjoy able events of the whole occasion, simply because of the pull on their pocket books. Now the situation is changed. The Freshman or Soph omore will be actually making money instead of spending it by staying, since he would, have to pay for it just the same. This means, probably, a doubled attendance and a much better banquet than ever be fore. A very decided change for the better has recently been made in the schedule of the limited between Chapel Hill and University station. The evening train which has here tofore left Chapel Hill at 2:15 now leaves at 3:00, just giving it time to make connection with the east bound at University. The post office window will now close at 2:15 in stead of L:30. There will be no change in the schedule of the morn ing train but the above change in the evening train will likely be permament. The change will be hailed with delight by all who have ever had to wait at the University Station, and who knows but that it will save the Southern Railway many a genteel cussing. It is re reported, also, that a 'new car will be put on. Commencement Program. The Baccalaureate Sermon before the Graduating Class and the Uni versity audience will be delivered by the Rev. H. P.
