^HERE'S AN OLD SOUTHERN CUSTOM, originating in Louisiana, by which a merchant demonstrates his appreciation of patronage and makes a bid for its continuance. It consists oi giving a little more goods than are paid for; the gift is "lagniappe." When you buy a railway ticket or pay a freight bill, you purchase a certain amount of transportation—no more, no less. But the railroad is a human institution; its workers want you to know that they appreciate your patronage and hope you will come again. This feeling they show by special attention to your needs—in other words, by the true "lagniappe" of IN PARTING courtesy and cordiality. It has been a reminder of mjr student days to talk this year to students You will remember a railroad for the through these advertisements.

Despite the importance attached to the ceremonies by departing members of the 1937 class, the occasion is but another link in the annually increas­ ing chain of Notre Dame graduations. Nor is there anything sti-ikingly new or novel in this ninetj'-third Com­ mencement progi-am.

LATEST DISCOVERY I South Bend UPDRAFT IN PIPES THE NOTRE DAME SCHOLASTIC, MAY 28, 1937 23 State Track Meet (Continued from Page H) tered the meet record time of 4:13 in the mile. -HoMc.. LITTLE FENDRICH Bob Collier of Indiana holds the records in both the 100 and 220-yard -dashes. He or Bill Clifford of Notre Dame are almost sure to better the existing- record of 9.7 seconds in the century. Clifford in a recent meet with Navy ran the distance in 9.6 and with favorable conditions tomor­ row should repeat the performance. Mel Trutt, Indiana sophomore, has equalled the meet record time of 1:53.6 for the 880-yard run. Indi­ ana's middle distance men are above average caliber and are believed cap­ able of lowering the present meet record of 3:16.9 in the mile relay. In the discus throw and pole vault Bud Faymonville and Dan Gibbs are almost certain to better the existing marks in their respective events.
