U N C LIBHAHY SERIALS DEPT. CHAPEL HILL, IU Q. 8-31-49 2i CRIPPLED iS 5 CHILDREN 2ft VOLUME LIX Shades Of j 1 1 in v j I - Harden Claim Daily Tar Heel Georgia may have had two governors at one time, but that sovereign state to the south has nothing on The Daily Tar Heel, which has two editors at the pre sent time. When Roy Parker, Jr., chosen as editor at a special election ear ly in the fall quarter, was told by his doctors that he should leave school during the spring quarter, he submitted a resignation to the Publications Board. Parker recommended the ap pointment of Managing Editor Chuck Hauser to take over the editor's slot until spring elections April 12. But the Board appoint ed its chairman, Zane Robbins, to the post. Parker, however, has returned to the University for the spring quarter and says he is resuming his editorial duties, since his re signation was based solely on the assumption that he could not re turn to school. At the same time, Robbins claims the editorship on the basis of the Board's decision, which he says, stands regardless of whether Parker returns or not. Members of the Board attending the meet ing at which Robbins was chosen were Frank Allston, Jr., Bill Skinner, faculty member Jack Riley and Robbins. Not present were Buddy Vaden, Herb Nach man and faculty member Gerald Barrett, although Barrett cast a vote by telephone. Parker's letter -of resignation to the Board, dated March 9, read: "For 'reason of health, I am submitting my resignation as edi tor of The Daily Tar Heel.
