As if Chapel Hill didn’t have enough homeless people, senior Eli Rayfield is now one of them. The anthropology major has defied the tight housing market and found a place where the rent is $0 a month: in a hammock in Carrboro.

All kidding aside, though, there is something to be said for removing oneself from the rat race so completely that he has time to read a book a day, which, by our calculations, is more than the combined total of books that the rest of the UNC student body has read for pleasure in their entire lives.

On the other hand, he could just be doing ethnographic research on hippies. He is an anth major, after all, and he seems to have done a pretty succesful job of infiltrating Carrboro.
