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.

JANUARY MAG
TAKES STAND
FOR UBEBAUSM
Criticizes Tar
! 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." !
STATEMENTS
Creedy has asked several men both
on and outside the campus to give!
their definitions of liberalism, and the
