 For Cutting Wood
 "We go up the Yukon as far as Purgatory to cut timber for fIre- wood and for building our cabins. Each family unit requires at least ten cords of firewood to heat their cabins throughout the winter
 Rampant
 "There are fifteen families at Rampant. Sixteen traplines and fif- teen cabins along the trails are used during the winter months. Fish camps numbering seven are in use in the summer months.'

Congress for a Barrow housing pro- ject and eventually because of much substandard and uncomfortable housing, such project may become a reality.
 In addition to million dollar elementary school just dedicated this year, a 210-capacity high school is to be constructed there next sum- mer.
 Big Things
 With the advent of natural gas availability, it is also expected that the population of Barrow will take big swing upward.
 Big things are happening at Bar row and many more thing will oc- cur during the next few years. Bar row likely may become a model Arctic Alaska settlement-a pattern for many other Eskimo villages to follow.

Friendly little Redpolls begin to take over the lev spots of exposed grass, their brilliant little rec tops adding a welcome spot of color in an arid landscape; soon there will be flocks or the nervous Lapland Longspurs, wheeling and undulating in the pale sky. The sno7birds have already left us for the colder North.

One of the finest spring sights occurs when hundreds of Golden Flowers mingle with the Hudsonian CurleWs on the open fields. These birds will have travelled thousands of miles through all sorts of wind and weather to reach their nesting grounds in the interior.

tended as societies Of scholars, have &C.
quired reputation as clubs which provide a
member little other than a social atmosphere
with q small group of friends who have neck
ties and money to lend and time to talk about
sorority girls. But despite q growing dissatis-
faction with them, fraternities in Washington
area colleges, like those elsewhere. remain as
much part of the college scene as the student
union or corner hangOut.
The influence fraternities WELD as leading
organizations on campus, enjoying the support
of school administrators, is the major source of
complaint Critics say they mOnopolize college
organizations like newspapers, yearbOoks and
student government, curtailing the OppOrtuni-
ties of other students.
FraternitieS also come in for criticism for
discOuraging individualism among their men,
bers, for putting themselves before the school,
for limiting the perspectives of freshmen and
sophomores whose college life is restricted to
fraternity house and classroom. And hazing
while generally considered thing of the past
still exists to some degree; cases of physical
abuse Of pledges, or goats" continue to
crop up.
Such attacks on the system haven't affected
the firmlyrOOted fraternities at George Wash
ingtOn and American Universities and the Uni
versity of Maryland. At Howard University
where they have come in for the most severe
criticism, their position is less secure.
At three other schools the issue is quieS-
cent, or doesn't exist. Georgetown University
has no Greek letter organizations. There are
fraternities at Catholic University, but the
majority Of the students there are POSTCARD
yates. The president of District Teachers Col
lege, Paul O. Carr, says there are mo problems
connected with fraternities" at that school,
which has about $50 undergraduate students
who live off the campus.
Greeks" as they call them, are in pres
tigious position at George Washington Univer-
Sity. They live in their own houses, to the ex-
tent that space is available, and pay SIS to $40
a month in dues which are used for the social
program and to pay other expenses, such as
mortgage.
Bob Aleshire, an independent at George
Washington, says inactiOn by the school has
enabled fraternities to regard student Organi-
cations, such as the student council, as their
demesne, to the detriment of the school and
other students.
"Fraternities are definite force against
any real school spirit, against effective student
government and political parties" he asserts.
They tend to place the interests of the frater-
nifty system ahead of the interests of all the
students They auction off student council
positions among themselves, and the result is

Syncom-2 in Orbit, Drifts
7 oward Post Over Equator

A Delta rocket started Syn
conn., on its journey yester-
day, boosting the satellite from
Cape Canaveral into a wide
swinging orbit ranging from l40
miles to 22,548 miles above the
earth. Five hours 80 minutes
later, when the satellite reached
the high point of the orbit, a
small motor fired for 81 Sec
onds.
This firing high above East
Africa changed the orbit to a
slightly elliptical course rang
ing from 22,300 to 22,548 miles
high and adjusted the space
crafts speed to a near-syn-
chronous $500 miles an hour
Being a little below synchron-
Gus velocity, the satellite start
ed the westward drift along the
equatorial line.
If Sy:lcom-2 attains Synchro-
nous orbit as planned over Bra
iii, it will not be truly sta
tionary. Instead, it will trace
a figure 8" path as it moves
slowly back and forth over one
point on the equator at IS de-
grees west longitude. Advanced
syncoms will appear to be ap.
solutely stationary.

unconscionable delay before sending Congress his civil
rights program and then made it too tinid
Mr.. Thomas referred to Southern Democrats
naming Senator Eastland, Democrat of Mississippi
specificaly-as IAN intrenched minority of
politicians"
He also said the FBI has failed mserably to protect
the rights Of Negro citizens" and proposed creation of
a Federal law enforcement agency to deal with civil
rights cases.
Despite occasional quaver in his voice he delivered
his statement vigorously. After making one point he
looked up and said Anyone who wants to debate that

military services to give him q
report by August Is on their
plans for combating discrim-
nation, and he authorized Gre
alton of the post Of Assistant
Secretary of Defense for Civil
Rights to oversee military anti
discrimination programs.
One recommendation of the
Presidents committee which
Mr.. Mcnamara turned down
was the closing of military
bases, as a last resort, in areas
where discrimination is preva-
lent and cannot be eased by
persuasion.
II do not regard this as a
feasible action at this time, /"
he said.
A Labor Department spokes-
man said the new apprentice
ship training standards will af-
feet about 5000 local programs
involving approximately $50, 900
apprentices.
He said Federal certification
of local apprenticeship pro-
grams will be withheld unless
the programs meet the new
standards designed to put them
on a completely on-discrim-
inatory basis"
The regulations bar discrim-
nation in selection of appren-
tices, in the training program
and In the employment to
which the program is related.
Mr.. Wirtz said the standards
were formulated in response to

When a personal attack is

When a commentator or
