EDITOR: The rein of tcM-ror is on. The puitkitine clicks like castoncttes blood flows likt- water in the strtH'ts. The knitting ladies are waiting for the head to drop, your head, Mr. Editor. Some people just can't live a happy life unless thoy are fighting for or against a cause. You must have happened to be standing there when these "Ran nor Bear ers'' were looking around for a cause and consequently many blows are falling upon your head. It is a shame that these self rightous individuals coudn't fo cus their attention on something a little more in need of correction such as: lietter housing for the squirrels, or dry powder for "Si lent Sam.'" Projects like these would, at least, not be detrimen tal. Maybe these go-getters would be willing to serve on a Journalistic- Counc il whic h could approve or throw out each editorial according to their "ethics" and hold a daily vote of confidence on the editor. This method of administration would, in no time, produce the tintype, spineless, conforming edi tor that they dtsire; an editor devoid of personal opinions or at titudes. When they are bearing your sev ered head through the streets of Chapel Hill on a long staff, keep smiling; At least you'll be above them. G. L. II. EDITOR: Because of recent developments in the recall election of the editor of the Daily Tar Heel, I must withdraw my name from tli iinX of staff members who signed a letter to Neil Bass. This letter, which appeared on the editorial page of The Daily Tar Heel, said, in effect, that the signers did not support the recall, but upheld Editor Bass' right to remain in that position. I am strongly in favor of the recall election and must thertfore public-ally withdraw my name from that letter. ANN FRYE EDITOR: As secretary of the Student Par ty. 1 feel that it is necessary for me to clearly state what took place at the Monday night meet ing of the Student Party at which the party nominated Doug Eisele to run for editorship of The Daily Tar Heel. This information is be ing taken from the minutes which I recorded during the meeting. First of all I believe that it is expedient to point out that Mr. Barry Winston stated before the party that if we wanted to sup port Doug Eisele he would with draw from the race. This state ment was made after the party had found that none of the three announced candidates met the "qaalU'icatioiis they were seeking. Perhaps many people are won dering why a political party should nominate and endorse candidates for such position as editor of the Daily Tar Heel. This was thor oughly discussed by various mem bers, pointing out that it is the responsibility of campus political parties to endorse for public office individuals who are qualified for the position under consideration. Furthermore, it is the parties' responsibility to both seek and provide qualified candidates for all positions of public trust. In the event that candidates running for an office are determined to be un qualified for a position, then it be comes even more the responsi bility of the parties to provide the campus with good candidates. Keeping this in mind the three candidates were discussed by var ious members. As the discussion progressed it became evident that none of the candidates possessed the qualifications the students felt were desirable. A motion was made and passed that the floor be re-opened for nominations. Gary Greer nominated Doug Eis ele. When asked whether he knew whether Mr. Eisele would run. lie said that he did not but he would see whether Mr. Eisele would make a statement. Mr. Eisele told the party that he in tended to run for the office in the spring and that he felt he owed it to himself to spend more time on his studies. lie did not in actual words decline the nomination, but it was withdrawn by the nomina tor. The nominations were again closed when Mr. Winston request ed the floor. A motion was made . and passed that the rules be sus pended and that Mr. Winston be extended permission to address the party. It was at this time ap proximately 11-20 p.m. that Mr. Winston announced that because he was interested in a better "Tar Heel" and if the party wanted Doug Eisele he would withdraw from the race. The floor was again reopened for nomintaions and Doug Eisele's name was again submitted. After the nominations were again clos ed the four nominations were voted upon, and Mr. Eisele receiv ed a majority of the votes. I hope you will see fit to print these very vital facts concerning what took place durin gthe meet ing, because I feel they obviously point out the fact that the with drawal of Mr. Winston was not decided after the party meeting instead. Mr. Winston publicly an nounced his withdrawal before the party and in the presence of several "Daily Tar Heel" report ers.

I am supporting Bass; not because I agree with all his editorial views, because I don't; not because I like the way he says many of his views, because I don't; not because I think he is the most efficient .and best manager of the paper in general and the editorial page in particular, because I don't. In fact, of the four editors I have worked under in the past three years, the present editor rates third or fourth. Indeed,, if and when I run for the editorship in the Spring, I will do so on the basis of an intensive revamping of the paper's present structure. I did not vote for Bass last Spring, I support him with vigor now. ... . , 1 am for the present editor because: 1) I doubt the validity of the recall petition itself, 2) I think that freedom of the press is a live issue and was made such, not by the 'present editor, but by the perpetators of the petition, 3) I feel very strongly he hand of intervention by the executive depart ment of Student Government in an area where the University constitution restrains executive action, and 4) I do not believe that either of the candi dates opposing Bass are as competent as Bass. Perhaps the only two legitimate reasons for re call are if an editor publishes a libelous or obscene story, or if the paper fails to come out as con tracted six days a week excepting exams and hnlid.ivs All other offenses are secondary. If peo ple believe the editor is not a capable writer, they had plenty of time to check three years of writing prior to last Spring's election. If there is a belief current, that the editor cannot take criticism and that comments underneath the writings of other people are childish, then the electorate had plenty of time to chock the disposition of the present edi tor through his roommates. If there is a belief that the editor cannot handle the technical aspects of Ihe paper, then the electorate should have seen fit to ask members of the Tar Heel staff prior to last Spring's election about the capabilities of the present editor in that field. Moreover, a bi-partisan selection board last Soring deemed the present edi tor capable in that field, and the capability of the present editor in many of the technical fields is demonstrable. Thus, if libel or failure to Dut out a paper is th issu, thn the claim of Student Body President '. Evans that Mr. Bass railed Mr. Tatum a "ruthless mrnter" mm be a false claim. For "ruthless mon ster" is not libelous, as "parasitic monster", orYe ' of the generating cirrumstanrs of the recall two years ago, was not libelous. The second claim by Mr. Evans that Bass ditorialiired in the Stevenson articU is not libel either, and I hardlv think that Mr. Stevenson would sue for being called "slightly i heavier" than tus campaign picture. ' There then remains a question of how meny people of the 1097 that signed the petition knew anything of the law of libel, and how many more signed because of the Bass anti-Tatum editorials. For if people signed because of the editorials, then the issue is one of freedom of the press, and whether anyone is sacrosanct from editorial scru tiny. I was in Cobb dormitory the night the petition was being passed around, prior to the first mention in the Tar Heel of "freedom of the press". Carry ing around the petition in that dorm were at least four football players. I asked them what was in competence to them, and the best answer they could give was, "I didn't like what he said about Tatum." I asked one of them what was libel, if, as we agreed this was the only satisfactory grounds for recall, and he could not tell me. I was later in the room of one of the leaders of the petitioners, who announced to me that none of the 150 people who signed the recall petition that he carried around had said a word about. Tatum. The truth of his pronouncement was somewhat tarnished when a fellow resident of that dormitory came in. The petitioner asked the resident if he had signed the petition. And the resident answered that he had. because "I didn't like what he (Bass) said about Tatum." I doubt seriously if there are two hundred stu dents on campus who know the law of libel, and whether there are one hundred who know, the specific line in which Mr. Bass may or may net have transgressed the law of libel. Since this is the only real issue that can force a recall, the petition itself is extremely dubious. Dubious also was the time picked to carry the petition around, right after the Tatum editorials. The petitioners must have realized that they would not have gotten enough signatures anv other way. If the president of the student body was a man of integrity, he would be the first one to ouestion the vaHditv of the petition and the amount of knnw leriap tb student hodv had about the law of libel. But resident Evans is no such man. I was up in his office prior to the petition applying for a position on the newlv created Newsnanr Researrh Peq-d and he talked nM only mv qualifications b'lt he talked recall. He told me that what was n sarv o start a recall was a competent onnosition candidate, and asked me if I had anv willingness to run. I declined. The fact is that this was before the petition pot started, and would lead one to be lieve, indeed I do, that Mr. Evans had very much to do with recall. And a later incident served to prove that this was not such an altruistic interest. Three weeks ago Mr. Evans met with a petitioning group, before completion of the signing of the petition, and urged th petition's completion. In doing this, he talked of the paper as being among other things "the chronicler of student government." This suggests to me that Mr. Evans was more worried about th Prver criticism about bJm goin down in the Tes cf hitorv perhaps, than whether the campus had a good newspaper. Indeed his placing Doug Eire's name into nomination at one of the vote? in the Student Partv meeting of last Mondav is clear indication of his self-interest rjfher than in terest of the mner. for T will later trv to show that (Continued On Page 3)
