chers have agreed to take five
minutes from each class so that
a 50-minute chapel service will be

a.m. This unusual addition to the
campus routine will disrupt the
class schedule so that the follow
ing will result: eight o’clock class
will be held from 8:00-8:50; nine
o’clock from 8:55-9:45; chapel
from 9:50-10:40, etc.
