We all pay for such a pub lication, and over five hundred of us voted for it as such in last quarter's referendum. For this and other reasons we present the three most important points of our goal as follows: "1. Our main point is to keep Tarnation as it is, a humor mag azine of, by, and for the students of the University of North Caro lina, not the exchange readers of Dook, Princeton, or Meredith. "2. We intend to interpret to the best of our ability Carolina campus humor, and to publish the best of it. "3. We are determined to keep Tarnation on the ball and to im prove it with each issue.

"Coincidence, no DTH Editorial Aspirants State Planks Ed Joyner "My platform as a candidate for the editorship of the Daily Tar Heel is one of practicality rather than wild promises which cannot be fulfilled. "The only promise I will make to anyone is this: "If you, the students of this University, select me to edit your newspaper for the coming year, I shall do my best to give you the best newspaper I can. "Entailed in this promise are the following points: "1. Assembly of the best staff possible to give you the best pa per possible. "2. Complete coverage of cam pus news, accurately reported and impartially presented. "3. Complete and interesting coverage of news in sports. "4. A strong editorial stand on all campus questions. In contrast to the news pages the editorial page will be as partial as I can make it. This partiality will be directed not for or against in dividual persons and organiza tions as such, but for or against the individual actions or in action of those persons and organizations.

In a statement released to the Daily Tar Heel yesterday, Wof ford stated, "Although reluctant to do so, I am forced to withdraw from the race for head cheer leader due to recently arising cir cumstances which make me in eligible to hold the position.
