The second year medical stu dents, Lane Stokes and Clifton West, were hitch-hiking from Ral eigh to the Army-Navy game in Philadelphia. Dr. Mayo drove up beside them offering them a ride to Washington. He introduced himself and his wife merely as Dr. and Mrs. Mayo. Exactly who they were did not occur to either of the pas sengers until Mrs. Mayo referred to her husband as "Chuck." Stokes then remembered the Minnesota license of the car and realized with whom they were rid ing. He said, "They took us to din ner and Dr. Mayo told us a lot about the work in the Clinic. When we got out in Washington, he told us to work hard, and he hoped he would meet us again some day."

Any exceptions to the proposed schedule must be passed on by the in struction committee, of which Dean A. W. Hobbs, head of the College of Arts and Sciences, is chairman. On The Hour Classes will meet on the hour, as they have this term. There has been some speculation that the first two periods of the day would meet at 8:30 and 9:30 a.m., with a free half hour or all students from 10:30 to 11 'clock every morning. The commit- ee's action eliminates this pre-war coke session."
