W. G. Braezeale, dean of .stu
dents at the {Annex, has announ
ced that thej Snack Bar will re
main open, uijtil 9:30 p. m. start
ing Sunday apd continuing through
final examinations.
The longer {hours have been pro
vided for twoj reasons; (1) To give
students studying late a chance to
obtain refreshment and break the
monotony ofja long study period,
and (2) to! experiment on the
volume of business which would be
carried on during the extended time
limit. If the Snack Bar breaks even
during the tyial period, Braezeale
said he expjeCts that the longer
service will lie given another trial
next semester.
