Yale undergraduates' narrow straw poll support of Thomas Fairchild over Senator Joseph P. McCarthy was labeled "incredible" by Louis M. Lyons, curator of the Nieman Fellowships, in his news broadcast over stations WHRB and WGBH yesterday.
Lyons commented that "amazingly, 1230 Yale students voted for McCarthy." He expressed the hope that "they were mostly freshmen who have not yet been exposed to a liberal education."
Yale enjoyed its own reactionary, Lyons went on, referring to William F. Buckley, who wrote "God and Man at Yale." The book, said Lyons, "attacked everything Yale has ever stood for. If there are 1230 Yale students who believe his stuff, why do they stay at Yale?"
He concluded with the opinion that "McCarthyism is the evil element in this election, and it is not going to be confined to Wisconsin."
