I am only a journalist, but I would love to ad vise the august faculties not only of Harvard, By Hayden Carruth The staunch bastion of campus conservatism since some years past, the Interfraternity council; was purged in recent council elections, demonstrating that even the green lawns and brick facades of west Chapel Hill can sound a progressive note. A dozen or so fraternities dur ing the past several years have form ed a clique within the council, pow erful enough to run fraternity busi ness, but backward enough to keep that power back in a. dark corner where they thought nobody would notice it. Several representatives courage ous enough to buck this bloc, cam paigned for the crack-up of the group before the council elections, and more than enough fraternities signed a pledge that they would not con sider participating in such a clique. Result : the clique lives no more. The election of Buck Osborne to the presidency of the Interfraternity council promises to be one of the most outstanding actions that that ignoble institution has performed as far back as most can remember. Buck, who was forced to withdraw from the candidacy for the speaker of the Student legislature early this quarter when he left for Johns Hop kins and the surgeons' skill, has long ago proven his ability for agres sive action and his advocacy of that bruised and battered human virtue, reasonableness. With Tom Baden, Mac Bell, and Felix Harvey as sup porting cast Osborne will be a dis appointment if the council does noth ing more than negotiate an agree ment with the coeds next fall and then retire to its out-worn tent. The break-down of any power bloc always pleases me, sometimes beyond the bounds of decorum. Those there are who have attributed this quality to a natural unpleasantness, but this time the result of a sterile past seems justification for my flight. Few campus organizations are in a .position more strategic for the fur therance of worthwhile projects; country and all are proficient enough to offer a but of all the other institutions of learning in the interfraternity 'council is the nu full afternoon's entertainment.

Such are the credits and debits of the council, to date. Add . . . and draw your own conclusions. O Lost for doings yesterday, I called up Mr. W. E. Thompson, cashier at the local bank and chairman of the Orange county defense bond and stamp sales. As is usually the case, Thompson had notes of interest for the wayward straggler. The sale of defense bonds at the bank since May 1, 1941, date of the first bond issue, was $425,000 up to ten days ago and is probably "push ing $450,000 now." Struck by the amount, which seemed an amazing total for small town sales, I plunged on to the Post Office and found Mr. L. E. Cheek, busily grappling with the problem of mail handling for the incoming group of Naval Air Cadets. He took time off to operate an adding machine and arrived at the following totals. Sale of bonds: $58,796.25 by 4:07 yesterday afternoon, and sale of stamps: $1,744.15 up to last No vember 1 exclusive of bank sales. A different system of keeping stamp sales was adopted then, but average stamp sales, Mr. Cheek says, have been $2,000 each month since then. Conservatively, stamp sales in Chap el Hill have been $10,000. So, by simple processes learned in math 3B, the total bond and stamp sales in Chapel Hill since May 1, 1941 are $513,706.26. Considering the popu lation of Chapel Hill at 5,000 (which includes liberal estimates for student and extra-town bond purchasers), this makes per capita purchases of defense bonds and stamps $102.74. Lacking but one day from the com pletion of a year since the drive be gan, the per capita purchases of vic tory in Chapel Hill have been in brackets that would shine beside the wealth depots of Westchester's high est society communities. Of course, Chapel Hill is not representative of the paying ability that exists throughout most of the nation. If the' nation contributed proportion ate to purchasing power, with an equal ration as Chapel Hill, the debt that's zooming today in Washington would be less trouble and a smaller bug-bear. it happens here . . . 3:00 Varsity-High Point College tennis match. e 3:00 Naval Relief tennis match es. , . 5:00 Girls belonging to the May Court will meet in the Tin Can. 7:30 The Ninth Inning" will be shown in main lounge of Gra ham Memorial.
