FOUSHEE AGAINST STUDE3NT FIREMEN Mayor Tells Of Compensation Act Mayor John Foushee of the town of Chapel . Hill yesterday expressed the belief that difficulties of assuming responsibility for would-be student volunteer firemen while fighting blazes in the village and on the cam pus, would make it inadvisable for a student fire-fighting unit to be or ganized. He suggested instead that the group already signed as volunteers from a nucleus of fire "preventers' rather than fighters. He expressed apprec iation for the interest shown by the students. PARENTS CONSENT NECESSARY Chapel Hill volunteer firemen are protected by the local town govern ment under provisions of the Work men's Compensation act. It would be necessary for this protection to be ex tended to the student group, the mayor said, and he believed the Board of Al dermen would not want to assume the added responsibility. In any case, parents' permission would be neces sary, he said Many of the 30 or more volunteers already members of the unit would be disqualified from the compensation act because of the minimum age limit of 21 years, Mayor Foushee believed, liability for responsibility of stu- joti Vn1nnfrs at fires on the campus would not rest with the University trustees, he declared. Church Council Poll Shows Liberal Trend A distinct liberal trend in the youth of the nation was shown in a poll re cently conducted by the Council for Social Action of the Congregational and Christian Churches voted 4530 to 9S7 in favor of provision by govern ment of jobs for those unable to find work in private employ. Other liberal measures which the undergraduates voted on were the use of federal measures to support agri cultural prices; the organization of labor into national unions; the main tenance or increase of tariffs and other trade barriers; the further ex tension of public ownership of electric utilities; the organization of consumer cooperatives; and the further social control of our economic system. Voting in the plebiscite began No vrmher 13. 1938. Ballots were receiv- ed from 700 churches. In some cases the questions were discussed by the , W. Sparrow, Greensboro; A. B. Tom members, jlinson, North Wilkesboro. i ROUND TABLE OF AIR TO BE HELD BY FIVE COEDS Program To Be Heard On WPTF f ' From 3 to 3:30 The University oJLKorth Carolina Round Table of the Air will be pre sented again this afternoon from 3 o'clock to 3:30 over WPTF in Raleigh as five Carolina coeds, members of the International Relations club, discuss "Fascism and Communism" in a con tinuation of the panel discussion held Friday evening in Graham memorial.

Heel Edit Board, Lecture System ; Featuring three articles that criti cally examine various outstanding campus institutions and containing definitions of liberalism by prominent American figures, the January issue Of the Carolina Magazine will appear tomorrow on the campus. - Keynote of the magazine is sounded by John Creedy's opening editorial in which he says that the University is hypocritical when it calls itself liberal, and that while the students are will ing to listen to radical speakers, there "js never a hint of the content of any of these speeches registering." Calling this attitude "headline mentality," Editor Creedy says, "We are a con servative University with a little sur face froth of liberal form to keep everyone fooled even ourselves. Let's stop being hypocrites, let's come out and say we are conservatives and let's do something about it." DICTATORSHIP Gordon Mull in his article, ". . . . Those Who" Cant, Teach" criticizes the present method of teaching at the University. Proposing what he calls "a four point program for the elimina tion of the useless," he advocates abol ishing of the lecture system, faculty dictatorship, non-participation by the faculty in community life, and the at titude of false superiority assumed by the faculty or by certain departments toward each other. Frank Holeman's "The Banner is Folded" is subtitled "Suppression of Liberalism by the Tar Heel" and is both a criticism of the paper's edi torial policy and an evaluation of the various members of the editorial staff. A student who prefers to remain anonymous writes a. satire on a.soei- ology professor entitiled "Liberalism in the Class Room." !
