DISCUSSION FOLLOWS TALK
Dr. John S. Bradway, of the

Harhieh the clinic at Duke func
tions. "A man on the way to
justice," he said, "is confronted

of delay; and by the fact that
-court procedure is so compli
cafed that trained persons are
meeded to insure the proper
rmeeting out of justice."
Helps Poor
Bradway averred that the le-
;gal aid clinic is the means by
-which the poor man is lifted ov
er these obstacles. "The prob
lem of the poor man in the crim
inal courts" he stated, "is a
distressing one. With an ade
quate group to investigate this
critical point, definite progress

The leader of the Duke legal
aid clinic traced the history of
-the legal aid system in American
jurisdiction, and pointed out the

tory results. y

Economics Students AndJProfessors
Observe New Deal After First I ear
Faculty Members Tolerantly Skeptical of Roosevelt "Policies, De
ploring Lack of Governmental Power to Enforce Regulations;
Students Optimistic, But Confused .as to Significance.
o
The New Deal, observed crit
ically and impartially by stu
dents and professors of . eco
nomics, has left a fairly favor
able impression. It is true that
many faults have been pointed
out, and many of its chief ideas
have been attacked, but the gen
eral attitude toward this new
administration is one of tolerant
skepticism. .
. To the minds of Carolina stu
dents of economics the NRA has
been successful so far. It has
succeeded in recomposing the
seii-respect ana nring the en
thusiasm of the masses. Tow
ards its goal, which the students
understand to be a system of
harmony and a definite step
nearer some type of socialism,
the administration is slowly
progressing. Its backbone is co
operation, and motivated by the
ideal of public harmony for pub
lic benefit, the nation has been
able to brighten some of the
darker aspects of our recent
near-chaos.
Faculty Sees Flaws
But this enthusiasm is wan
ing. Every professor interview
ed revealed in his discussion the
feeling that something is amiss
in the administraton of this
great ideal. Some place the
blame upon the fact that the
people expected too much in so
little a time. The people seem
to desire "a democratic social
isman impossibility" as R. S.
Winslow, economics instructor
terms the fact. The New Deal
was a public hysteria, and no
people can be expected to remain
at such a fervor for any great
length of .time. Others place
the blame of the country's slow
ness of progress upon the sy
stem of administration.
W. F. Ferger, another eco
nomics instructor, claims that

the government has no strong-
arm method for enforcing its
policies. There is entirely too
much laxity in the execution of
government orders. Since the
whole success of the NRA de
pends upon strict cooperation
without exception for selfish
gains, Ferger considers, the
present lack of sacrificing spir
it as an essential weakness of
the system. He believes that
the old business men are em
ploying the new methods for
the same selfish interest they
used them for before the crash
The New Deal, based essential
ly upon a socialistic principa
does not have the spirit of so
cialism the spirit for the bene
fit of the masses. To his mind.
the consumer has benefited lit-
tie, if at all, by this peaceful rev
olution. The policy of collective
bargaining, which Ferger con
siders necessary for the success
of the new system, has not yet
been given authority to assert
itself for the benefit of the pub
lic. Socialistic Trend
It is generally agreed among
students and ' profesors . that
this system is leading towards
socialism, of which " they all
maintain a different definition.
The policy of the government is
still vague to some, who try to
link it with the radical policies
of other nations. To the young
er students, the affair is a puz
zle, despite the eloquent discus
sions heard on it. Instructors
Winslow and Spruill agree that
their students seem rather puz
zled .with the subject, and from
their own conversation, it can
safely be said that they too are
uncertain w&h the government's
attitude.
Winslow says that youth,

SESSION LASTS 4Ki HOURS
Passes Motion That Members of
Audit Board Be Elected Rath
er Than Appointed; Motion to
Rescind This Action Is Lost
in Involved Discussion.
After a four-and-a-half hour
session last night, the Student
Activities committee tabled ac
tion on the proposed changes in
the student government as advo
cated by the Student council..
Due to the fact that a num
ber of student members of the
committee had to leave during
the discussion, it was felt, that
any vote at the conclusion of the
meeting would not be indicative
of the committee's opinion.
More Time Needed
After a lengthy discussion,
the predominant opinion was
that the present plan of govern
ment was functioning satisfac
torily, however it was felt that
more time was necessary for
adequate consideration.
Just before the close of the
meeting, J. M. Lear made a pro
posal that members of the audit
board be elected rather than ap
pointed. The committee favored
this by a vote of 14-11. Later
a motion was presented: to re
scind this action, but was lost in
the heat of discussion.
