January 3, after students reti Hunting Saga To End All Fish Stories Storming the forest primeval at Scape Ore Swamp in Lee County this past Saturday, a safari of Pi Kappa Phi's inad vertently succeeded in returning from a hunt loaded with game even though they weren't hunt ing. Through employment of a deadly weapon not often used for the purposes of the hunt, one brother managed to bag a deer while his companions added one squirrel, one fox and 19 quail to the day's bag. The "Deerslayer" wanted to send a wire back to frat row reading, "We have met the enemy and they are ours; one deer, one fox . . . ," but he was overruled by his envious com panions who claimed that it was a clear case of "Stagicide." Oh, yes! Maybe the reader is wondering what instrument of destruction was so effectively employed. NO, it wasn't a gun, slingshot, crossbow, bow and ar row or even the leftovers from the bologna and cheese lunch that the hunters consumed the day of the slaughter. What it was, gentle readers, was one little ol' cotton pickin' automo bile which got a bit "shook up" during the expedition. THE SUNN A Carolina mate student stride reminiscent of other place..

The new boxes will he perma nent and they will be assigned only to students living on campus. Students are reminded to notify all publishers and correspondents of the change. The notice explains that the new boxes will be assigned in al phabetical order rather than by room assignments. The reason for this, explains Joe Lawrence, University postmaster, is that the present system is inefficient in a school the size of Carolina. Last year representatives from the University while visiting several other schools to study their postal systems adopted the present sys tem. Previous System In January the University will return to the system used in previ ous years of listing the names in alphabetical order. According to Lawrence, the post office em ployees will work during the Christmas holidays to prepare for the conversion. Notices should have been re ceived by all students including their name, new and old box numbers, and a card bearing the new combination. Any mistakes in combination, or non-delivery of expected mail should be reported to the post of fice, Lawrence added.
