"The con venient fiction of having the gas arrive by a mythical ship which docks at Wilmington and transported by mychical trucks to us here, is belied by the fact that the gasoline comes out of a pipeline near Greensboro and is trucked from that point,'' Bryan wrote Hodges. He continued, "That such fic tions are indulged in and are l seemingly condoned by the pub lic and its officials, to the det riment of the public at large . . . is most regrettable."

Transportation costs "As far as volume is concern- ed, Chapel Hill has a very high car per capita count," Bpyan said. "And with only eight gaso line stations, I hardly think that the volume of business is either restricted or lacking." Turning to overhead, he cited that Raleigh and Durham (where the prices for regular and premium are lower than . here) "also have high over head." Transportation costs, Bryan said, "are the same for Chapel Hill dealers as Raleigh and Lurham dealers." Bryan declared that "the gas oline interest in Chapel Hill are using the students and charg ing what the market will bear.

Schoolboy's Dream OCCOQUAN, Va. (AP) Any shortage of teachers in Prince William County High School this week can be blamed on a skunk, or skunks. , ' One or more of them made a weekend visit at a rooming house where five teachers live. As a result, at least four of them expected to remain home yesterday. "We've sent our clothes to the cleaners," Richard McMaster, one of the four xplained. He said the fifth, Joseph Patterson, may venture out if high school pupils are agreeable. McMaster said the skunk or skunks got under the house and left his olfactory calling cards. In some quarters one could get a whiff of suspicion that high school pupils might have had something to do with the odoriferous affair. . Scales Is Scheduled For Court - GREENSBORO Junius Irving Scales, charged with having held membership in an OiTganizfJlion: advocating the violent overthrow of the government, is scheduled to make his second appearance in U.S.-Middle District Court here today.

It is a laboratory dedi cated to the proposition that students learn through doing." Wearer spoke on the topic "What's Wrong With .Student Government" at the request of the Student Party at its regular week- f ly meeting in Graham Memorial last night. He pointed out that h had no axe to grind, nor did he re present the South Building point of view. He added that "the dean's ? word is not gospel, nor can he j lane Lllc biuucut d ywiiki. ui j but insofar as he was able he would try to do so. Dean Weaver pointed out the ' thinSs that he considered right I ahnnt sturlpnt fnvemmpnt hef nre ! s making recommendations as to served the freedoms of our inst itution." He also noted that it is praiseworthy because of the op portunities of self-education it provides, and pointed out express ions oi siuueni government such as the Carolina Forum, student parties, and the IDC as being ex cellent examples. Weaver said that "students are responsible for the soundness of what they do," and that student freedom does not exonorate re sponsibilities. In pointing out specific wrongs oi siuuent government, Weaver said that there was not a suffici- "There is jurisdictional confu sion with respect to maintenance of the honor system.
