Merrill has also been nominated for that post by the University party. McLemore also announced that the Carolina party would not nominate a candidate for the office of editor of the Buccaneer, declaring, "We make this action because the Carolina party is essentially a reform party and we feel that, since there is no need for reform of the Buccaneer, we should not run a candidate for editor of the humor magazine.

Min ister is treated like a fraternity pledge during "Hell Week" by many a col lege editorialist. "That a man like James H. R. Cromwell can serve as American ambassador to Canada is clear proof of the cordial relations be tween the two countries," says the Harvard Crimson, while The Dart mouth remarks: "It's hard to take seriously a would-be diplomat who is trying so hard to be somebody that he gets himself comically out on a limb."
