The Carolina "mass exodus" of
students on weekends is a myth,
according to a survey made pub
lic yesterday .
Initiated to determine just what
students do with their weekend
time, the exhaustive survey was
completed and given to the Ex
ecutive Committee of the Board
of : Trustees at its meeting this
week. One of the reasons given
by the Executive Committee
member who proposed Saturday
classes was to stop the "mass
exodus" o nthe weekend..
The report was conducted in
the house of Delta Kappa Epsilon
and Phi Delta Theta fraternities,
Alpha Gamma Delta sorority, and
Alderman, Spencer, Old East and
Joyncr dormitories.
"Going home to rest" was given
by both coeds and men as the
"most important" single reason
for leaving Chapel Hill. Men
students rated "attending a foot
ball game" highest on the list
(See TRUSTEES, page 6)
Tax Fares
Ate Hiked
Taxicab fares in Chapel Hill
will go up from 35 to 45 cents
effective June 1.
And a blanket SO-cent fare has
been imposed for all taxi trips to
Kenan Stadium on the days of
varsity football games.
The Board of Aldermen made
the decisions at its meeting this
week. . -
Utilities Committee cnairman
Robert v Fowler recommended a
fare increase for; the cab follow
ing a meeting with the town's
four taxi companies last week.
However, his committee left the

More than 1,500 Yale stu

Here's how: .
A police officer ordered Sid

A short - time later; ' William

?tss tr. inin tne Aiumm asso
ciation during the current drive
sponsored by the Senior Alumni
Committee.
Chairman Al House yesterday
said seniors should take advant-
their rooms into the streets.
Fist fights started. A motorist,
attempting to drive through
the mob, had to stop his car
and flee when his windows
were broken. Then someone
let the air out of his tires,
A bus driver, threatened by
the students, responded by
opening a window of his cab
and squirting a fire extinguish
er at them. Then he hastily
drove off.
It took the entire day shift
of 80 policemen to quell the
rioting Elis. Four "students "and
the two ice cream vendors were
arrested on charges ranging
from breach of the peace to
inciting a riot. f
