On account of lack of attendance
on the part of both faculty and stu
dents, it has been decided to hold
chapel only twice a week instead of
every day. Failure to attend chapel
has been very noticeable for some
time and has raised a great deal of
comment and discussion. Student
body assembly on Friday and the
music program on Wednesday have
been well attended and so it was de-
cfded to continue chapel on those two
days. The purpose of giving up
three assemblies is to increase the
attendance and to arouse more in
terest in the programs.

singly or in parallel as motors or
