Witten's statement was in answer to a Daily Tar Heel editorial column by Martha Clampitt, in which she charged that Witten had circumvent ed the regulations banded him by the legislature. (The legislature instructed him to submit all copy to his editorial board of five members and gain their , ap proval on material appearing in the publication. Each member possesses one vote and Witten two. ' Other Editors Support Witten. The editor declared that the instruc tions had been carried out. This con tention was supported by G. B. Lamm, photography editor, and : Jak Arm strong, feature editor. They said the entire board heard all copy read and passed judgment on it. Witten at first offered only this an swer: "In keeping with the policy of Tar an r eatners, l am not iree to answer any questions or make any state ments concerning the magazine with out the approval of my five editors." However, supported by his two editorial assistants, he reversed this statement and went ahead with a com plete explanation of his stand. Claims Misinterpretation Miss - Clampitt misinterpreted him, Witten declared, when he once re marked: "It looks like I'm the only censor around here," meaning that he, rather than the editorial board, was applying the censorial pencil most frequently. The column quoted Witten thisway: "I'm the only censor around here." As to the charge that- he "started off by telling his staff to write the same copy, et cetera, as usual; that the magazine would be the same except for the name, Witten denied that he had made any such statement. He added, however, that someone be de clined to name the person had told staff members this. Last year's Buccaneer editor Bill Stauber indirectly entered the con troversy when a letter from him to the Daily Tab Heel arrived yester day praising the Buccaneer's succes sor. Said Stauber: "Congratulations on the new maga zine, 'Tar an' Feathers.' Carolina has really got something. The layout is swell, and the material is above par. It's a credit to both the school and the editor. Full credit is especially due Gene Witten." .
