"These Sunday Sings- have jndunces Editor froni Bombproof Office By Bill Sexton Campus wheels, ankle-length . dresses, and Carolina , in general are in for a stiff ribbing come late November, Tar nation Editor Tookie Hodgson announced from his . bomb proof office in Graham Memor- ial-yesterday Tarnation's fortified head quarters, located midway be tween the first and second floors of the student union to baffle enemy bombardiers, has become the scene of bustling ac tivity. Only four weeks remain before the first issue of the cur rent humor mag rebirth is due off the presses, and camofleurs, armor-plate installers, and radar experts already have detected the flaming breath of the dead line dragon close behind them.- "The staff is confident," Took ie declared yesterday, "that all preparations will be in order when the' first of our four is sues this year arrives." Meanwhile in their, decen tralized hideaways concealed throughout Chapel Hill writ ers, artists, and the indefati gable Tookie himself are busily pushing deadlines. Security reg ulations crevent release of spe- cific information on the comm issue until fortifications been completed in Graham fall hav .Memorial, but a communique from Hodgson's command post at the Phi Gam house hinted at the main theme of Tarnation. "It," says Tookie, "will look a little bit like the New Yorker." Espionage reports indicate the following material is now being readied for publication: (1) Slightly exaggerated pro file of Tom Eller. of Tom i-uer. ) Tough-and-not-so- gentle C Speak Today wmmmmim ; GREGG CHERRY The 120 were chosen on the basis of strict intelligence tests and physical examinations.

Theme: "If You Think 'Time' Is T8ugh, Read This!" Confirmation is not forthcom ing from tempestuous Tookie, who learned during the hardly gentle fight over reviving a campus humor magazine that anything you say will be held against you. Hodgson has play ed politics hard in a career which includes yice-presidency of his freshman class, a term as secretary of the Publications board, membership on the Ori entation committee and Gra ham Memorial Board of Direc tors, and staff positions with the Daily Tar Heel, and Carolina Mag. As main instigator toward reviving a humor publication he came through bitter opposi tion last spring victoriously. "But," says Tookie, "if any thing beats me, it's not Dan the Dog or Fred the Quadruped it's these parttime students sand bagging our windows. If they don't hurry, heaven.heip us!"
