THE ERWIN CHATTER
Getting a paper out is some
times fun, but it is never a
picnic. II we print jokes, peo
ple say we are silly. If we
don't, they say we are too se
rious. If we dip things from
other papers, we are too lazy
to write 'em ourselves. If we
don't, we are too fond of our
own stuff. If we print contri
butions, the paper is filled with
bunk. If we don't, we don't
appreciate true genius. Now,
like as not, someone will say
we swiped this piece from
some other paper. WE DID.
Cools Are Tar Heel
