Staging March ? Check Carolina Room
By ROBERT ENGLAND
Journal Stafff Writer
You are studying the interna
tional and domestic problems of
the Wilson era in American
history, you are planning a
protest march from Chapel Hill
to Raleigh, you need to research
the early writings of Paul Green
or Thomas Wolfe at the Universi
ty of North Carolina in the
1920’s, or you may be interested
in problems in labor disputes,
race relations, social welfare,
urbanization that face contem
porary North Carolinians.
If you need material on these
topics, you can find it among the
more than 1500 books in the
North Carolina collection in the
Special Collections room of the
Atkins Library.
The area of history contains
the greatest number of books.
Among the many authoritative
sources are the complete set of
the official colonial and state
government records and most of
the governors’ papers.
There are several well-known
and extensive histories of North
Carolina. One of the rare books
the Library has acquired recently
is William Byrd’s The History of
the Dividing Line Betwixt Vir
ginia and North Carolina, written
in 1728 to 1736 and first
published in Petersburg, Virgin
ia, in 1841.
North Carolina historians are the
works of Josephus Daniels. There
are three early histories of
Mecklenburg County. The works
of North Carolinians that are of
more than local or state interest,
such as some of Josephus Dan-
Germans

The Atkins library and the
Foreign Language department
are 113 books richer due to the
generosity of the Goethe Institute
in Munich, Germany, it was
announced Monday, Nov. 22.
’The Library also possesses an
extremely rare map of North and
South Carolina printed in 1775 in
London; it is known as the
Mouzon map and was used by
both American and British forces
near the end of the Revolutionary
War.

fine arts building, an auditorium,
a gymnasium, an addition to the
library, and .an earth-life sciences
building. The next building to be
constructed will probably be the
gymnasium, hopefully soon with
considerable financial support
from the community. The gym
nasium will be large enough to
house three basketball courts,
two swimming pools, and dress
ing facilities; the long range
usefulness of the gymnasium was
the chief factor in planning its
The acting chancellor also
revealed that the first graduate
courses (seven in number)
would be taught beginning in
June 1966. Most of these cours
es will be in education and will
be used to help North Carolina
teachers renew certificates on
the graduate level. One of the
courses will be in math.
One of the controversial sub
jects brought before the students
for discussion was the choice of a
class ring.
The forces easily were differen
tiated into two opposing camps:
the students supported the tradi-

iels’ writings’ are found also in
general circulation on the main
floor of the Library.
Another strong area in the
Carolinas collection are the lit
erary works of eminent state
writers, such as Thomas Wolfe,
Carl Sandburg, and 0. Henry. Joy
in the Morning by Betty Smith is
among the more recent novels
published by North Carolinians.
The poetry of Randall Jarrell,
the dramatic works of Paul
Green, the expository writings of
Harry Golden, and the biograph
ical works of Legette Blythe are
also found in the collection. The
Library has autographed copies
of some of the latest works of
North Carolina writers, including
such successful novelists as John
Ehle, Wilma Dykeman, Lucy
Daniels Inman, and John Foster
West. Criticisms of North Caro
lina literature are also included
in the collection.
A complete set of topographical
maps for the entire state has
been compiled for use in the
North Carolina room. There are
about 5(X) of these maps, each
covering a small, geographical
area.
Among the bound volumes of
state magazines is a complete set
of the North Carolina Historical
Review (1924 to the present).
North Carolina Education (1914
to the present), and the Univer
sity of North Carolina Magazine.
’To obtain a book from the
North Carolina collection, a stu
dent could inquire at the circula
tion desk. All books in the Spe
cial Collections are listed in the
card catalogue. A student may
ask to enter the Special Collec
tions room for research on
North Carolina or related sub
jects.
Any questions concerning the
use of the Special Collections
room should be directed to the
head librarian, Mr. Earner.
Upon recommendation from the
German Consulate, a large box of
new books was presented to the
Foreign Language department as
a gift from the German Federal
Republic.
PRAM Gives Campus Tour
For Ecuadorian Visitors
By MIKE WILSON
Journal Stafff Writer
The UNC-C chapter of the
Project of the Americas (PRAM)
sponsored on Wednesday, Nov. 17,
a visit to our campus by eight
high school students from Ecua
dor, South America. The visit
was part of a larger program,
“Operation Amigo,’’ which is a
project sponsored by the Char
lotte Junior Chamber of Com
merce to form better relations
with other countries.
Charlotte, the students had
formed their opinion of ,the
United States by talking with
businessmen who visited their
country. They then saw the
United States as a huge nation
trying to take advantage of their
small country. However, after a
first person visit, they are, as
Rene Espinoza expressed it, con
vinced, that Americans were like
people everywhere — “just plain
people.”
The Goethe Institute is an
institution interested in further
ing the German language. Their
offices are located all over the
United States.
The students were greeted
here by members of PRAM,
including Robert England, pres
ident, and Betty Craig, one of
PRAM’S representatives to
South America last summer.
They toured the campus, met
Dr. Cone and Dean McKay,
rang the bell, and heard our
chorus sing parts of Handel’s
“Messiah.”
I
tional style ring and the adminis
tration, emphasizing the unique
ness of our situation, pushed for
a contemporary design for the
class ring. ’There was some
objection on the part of the
administration to the use of the
Consolidated University shield on
one side of the ring.
Kearney Smith and Mike
Thomas, senior and junior class
presidents respectively, spoke for
the students’ sentiment, which,
,as they pointed out, was ex
pressed in a recent straw vote.
The student opinion was better
than 5 to 1 in favor of a
traditional style ring.
The discussion was ended by
singing the alma mater, with a
few revisions to bring it up to
date. (The letters CC were
changed to read UNC-C.) Many
students, hearing the alma mater
for the first time, expressed their
disappointment both with lyrics
as well as the music.
At 11:30 a.m., a coffee hour
reception for the students was
held, and a luncheon was held to
give our students a chance to
meet and talk with the visitors.

were bemused to hear the visi

rhythms added, is very popular

A favorite topic of conver
sation was politics. Two of the
Ecuadorian students were
Communist sympathizers, and
all opposed their country’s
ruling Junta. The students con

on Socialism and why it is
necessary in Ecuador.
