Stating his position on the subject of crusading, Sloan railed to task a recent editorial concerning the matter. "An editorial in' yesterday's Daily Tar Heel would have a candidate for editor saying lie is opposed to crusades be cause 'crusade is now a bad word. No statement could be farther from the truth. I know, because I am that candidate," Sloan said. . "Editorial crusades by Daily Tar Heel chiefs in the past have usual- ly been quixotic blunders that have set the student body against the issue and cost the newspaper the respect of South Building and the faculty. "Rather than become involved in a discussion of semantics. I have chosen to disassociate myself from the word 'crusade' to avoid con juring up unpleasant pictures in the minds of students. 'Therefore I am against 'cru-; sades' but not against editorial campaigns in defense, of freedom and all the other ideals on which our country was founded.

"I hope this makes clear my position on 'crusading' and the actual accomplishment of one of an editor's chief duties.
