The first issue of The Carolina
Critic, a student opinion magazine,
made its debut on campus last week
with commentaries criticizing the new
immigration law and poking fun at
the Democrats.
The monthly student magazine
says it is dedicated to the discussion
of the relationship between individual
liberty and politics and society.
The Carolina Critic is the brain
child of editor John Hood, a senior
journalism and philosophy major
from Charlotte. Part of Hood's
inspiration for the magazine came
from student editors of alternative
publications whom he merthiSi
summer as an intern at the National
Journalism Center in Washington.
Hood said he and The Critic reject

presented three one-act plays by
Eugene O'Neill, subtitled "Three
Plays of the Sea," at Playmakers
Theatre this weekend.
They opened with perhaps the most
difficult of the three, "The Rope."The
title is derived from the rope which
hangs center-stage by a single beam,
placed there by an old and bitter
father, Abraham Bentley (Martin
James), who is waiting for his son
to return home from sea so that he
can hang him. Bentley is as mad as
everyone in this play is unlikable.
Bentley's daughter Annie (T. Ristin
Cooks) and her husband Pat (Quince
Marcum) are waiting for her father
to die so that they can inherit the farm
and, if they can find it, take his money
too.
It is a crude play, and try as they
might, the actors did not convey the
harshness and bitterness needed.
They looked uncomfortable in their
period costumes which seemed to
hinder their performance greatly,

Mathieu said.
Both incidents involved briefs, or
recommendations that students write
after being given the background of
specific business problems.
The first offensive comment that
appeared in Vinson's mail file was on
the rough draft of a group brief about
the Anheuser-Busch company.
A member of a study group added,
without the consent of the rest of the
group, a racial comment to the

the traditional political labels of
liberal and conservative.
"They don't make any sense to me,"
he said.
But articles in The Critic will
probably tend toward a conservative,
libertarian or 19th-century classical
liberal viewpoint. Hood said.
The Critic explores issues in more
depth than is common to The Daily
Tar Heel or The Phoenix, a weekly
student magazine, Hood said. The
Critic will also offer more points of
view than The Daily Tar Heel typ
ically provides, he said.
"I feel there is a need to start a
more diverse, broad-based discussion
on the campus than there is now,"
he said.
Among the articles in the first issue
were discussions of education

feel. The lighting for the most part
a cold yellow and the starkness
of the mottled gray set only seemed
to emphasize this.

performances of the evening from

to go home but is tricked into sailing

an individual brief about the Joseph
Schlitz Brewing Co. was placed in
Vinson's file. It appeared legitimate
until the third paragraph, which
contained degrading comments about
black workers.
Originally, the comment on the
Busch brief was signed "Love, Al,"
referring to group member Al Phil
lips, who wrote the comment. But on
Vinson's copy, the note was signed
"Love, Gray," referring to another
group member, Gray Styers. ;
During an investigation this
summer, Styers and the rest of the
study group were absolved , of any
complicity in the matter:

and student funding for the Carolina
Gay and Lesbian Association. Other
articles called for the end of prose
cution for victimless crimes, ridiculed
the Democratic presidential candi-
dates, reviewed records and reviewed
a book on South Africa.
The next issue will probably focus
on foreign policy and the December
issue on education, Hood said.
Most of the writers are students at
UNC. The Critic also names corres
pondents at UNC-Charlotte, Duke
University and Appalachian State
Universitv in Boone. A correspon
dent from N.C. State will be added
to that list, Hood said. The non-UNC
writers will let readers know what

The initial funding for The Critic

The Critic cost $160 to print at The

Future funding will come from

If cigarette" manufacturers
would make cigarettes that would
go out when dropped on furniture
instead of catching fire, 14,000
lives and $2.4 billion could be
saved over the next , 10 years,
according to a UNC research
study released Wednesday.
Cigarettes are the leading cause
of fatal house fires in the United
States, said Patricia Waller, direc
tor of the UNC Injury Prevention
Research Center.
Also, the number of serious
injuries to fire fighters would drop
from 16,000 to 1,000, Waller said.
The report was released on
