SP Endorses Godwin
For Vice President
Br John Stump j
The Student party yesterday
announced that it is endorsing
CP nominee Jim Godwin for vice
president of the student body.
The move came as a surprise
to many observers, because the
SP had previously nominated
Herman Baker to run against
Godwin and John Clampitt, the
UP nominee for the position.
However, it became necessary
for the party to make another
nomination when Baker failed to
return to school this quarter.
Spokesmen for the partyj ex
plained yesterday that they de-
C tided to endorse Godwin,! be
cause of his outstanding qualifi
cations for the post." !
The doubly endorsed candidate
is a rising senior from Tillman,
South Carolina. He has had ex
perience in each of the three
branches of student government.
He transferred from State col
lege to this campus in 1943. At

Cartoonist-Writer
Runs Independently
In Four-Way Race
By Gordon Huffines
Fred Burgess, 18-year-old
sophomore, announced his candi
dacy yesterday for editorship of
Tarnation in the forthcoming
elections. Burgess, who is from
South Mills, will run on an inde
pendent ticket.
Burgess stated that he was in
favor of a larger humor maga
zine featuring more original ma
terial. He added that he wants to
put out a magazine with a pro
fessional make-up but with more
student appeal.
A cartoonist and writer, the
candidate entered the University
in the summer of 1940 and plans
to major in English, journalism,
and education. Several of his il
lustrations will appear in the
next issue of Tarnation.
The new candidate has had
four years of publications experi
ence as editor and managing
editor of high school newspapers
and magazines. Burgess has also
published an amateur fiction
magazine, "Scarab," for the past
three years. Specializing in
science-fiction, he illustrates his
own stories.
Burgess stated that he favors
the use of more original material
in Tarnation with less reprints
from other college humor mags.
"There is plenty of original talent
on this campus," he said. "Of the
7,500 students here I know that
at least 6,000 of them have some
thing original to contribute to
a campus humor magazine. And
I believe that I can get it out of
them," he added.
Asked about the present stand
ards of Tarnation, Burgess
praised the staff and stated that
if elected he would atempt to
maintain the present standards of
the humor mag while enlarging
it. He said that he was definitely
in favor of including more illus
trations, drawings, and photo
graphs. Burgess also said that he
was interested in the type of
humor portrayed by the "Post
Scripts" of the Saturday Evening
Post.
