Esky for the Coeds Humor Mag Candidates Plan To Publish Esquire Takeoff "Esky will be on campus," stated humor-mag co-editorship can didates Eddie Allen and Jud Kinberg yesterday. . The two DTH-Carolina Magazine writers, who are running for the newly-created editorship, explained that they have contacted Esquire magazine representatives and that the national publi cation has already tentatively" agreed to aid them in publishing a take-off on Esquire. This special issue would be the first humor magazine of the year if the two men are elected. Although full details must await a trip to New York City, Allen and Kinberg plan to use plates and car toons from Esquire to give the bur lesque issue the closest possible make up resemblance to the national pub lication. "Of course, the writing and most illustrations would be by campus authors and artists, but we feel that the idea and counsel from Esquire men will make certain an outstand ing humor issue to start off the maga zine and the year," stated the co editorship candidates. - A number of . universities, notably J Yale with its New York Daily News takeoff, have adopted this technique recently with great success. Use of the Esquire motif for the one issue of the UNC magazine would cor relate closely with campus interests, since the national publication places strong emphasis on collegiate topics. Completion of all details would take many days work with the Esquire staff and the two candidates plan to spend a number of weeks in New York this summer to do this. The cover, many, inside pages and possibly even type would closely reseialla Esquire magazine. Takeoff s would in clude Eskys On The Town," clothes section, cartoon pages and leggy il lustrations. .. . it
