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.
