Friday, December 2, 1966 THE DAILY TAR HEEL age 3 'Small-d Democrat Author Never Met Subject, e Is Like Old Friend But H ,.sjsy. . v.-.-.-.-:- The author of the first full length biography of Josephus Daniels met his subject only once and that was but a chance exchange of greetings. Yet, he has come to "know" and to admire the noted Tar Heel editor, Navy Secretary and Mexican Ambassador as if he were a close personal friend. For seven years, UNC Jour nalism Professor Joseph Mor rison has been reading and writing about Josephus Dan iels. In the preface of his lat est book, Morrison salutes Josephus Daniels "for the good and amiable company G. U. To Sponsor Tournaments The Graham Memorial Games Committee will sponsor a series of tourna ments during: December. The purpose of the local tournaments will be to select individuals and teams to compete in the Region V, Association of College Unions Tourna ments to be held at the University of Tennessee in February.

These rules are available along with sign up sheets and additional information at the Graham Memorial In formation Desk. he has borne me these past years." "Josephus Daniels: The Small-d Democrat has just been published by the UNC Press. A breathing portrait of the Tar Heel statesman and founder of The News and Ob server, the 320-page volume is packed with anecdotes and teeming with personality. Morrison's earlier book, Jo sephus Daniels Says, is a fac tual account of Daniels' life as a newspaper editor. An ex pansion of the author's doc toral thesis in history, it is a scholarly and detailed study. His latest book concentrates on human interest. "Mr. Joe loved people and got along with all types of folks," the author explained. "His whole career was a testi monial to his rank as a great human being with a first class temperament. I've sim ply tried to present the man as he was." Morrison's interest in Jose phus Daniels was stimulated years ago. MOST PROMINENT "As I investigated history, politics and the press, I grad ually came to realize that among North Carolinians who stayed in the state, yet were prominent on t h e national scene, Josephus Daniels was the single most important in dividual the state had pro duced. Long before I entered, graduate school or decided to write a book, I picked him as my subject." Morrison cited Daniels' key positions in the administra tions of three American pres- C sl s jpv , r -v w "W W W W W O . x ;w? tj--ji NOW PLAYING If sp- I - Ml.

"Equally impressive were his 20 years as North Caro lina's Democratic National Committeeman and his 47 years as a University trus ee," Morrison added. Though Daniels completed a five-volume autobiography be fore his death, Morrison felt there were some stories that needed to be verified and some "gaps" in the record that needed to be filled in. FILLS GAPS He believes his book helps fill some of the "gaps" in the record. In addition, he has uncovered some facts hitherto unknown by even some mem bers of Daniels' immediate family. For example, letters written by young Daniels to his mother disclosed that he was once engaged to another wom an named Addie, prior to the time he met Addie Worth Bag ley, his wife of 55 years. The earlier romance was with a Wilson school teacher, Addie Marsh. Plowing through early edi tions of the News ' and Ob server, Morrison discovered Daniels was the first person to go on record in print as favoring a Consolidated Uni versity of North Carolina. The Feb. 14, 1919, edition of the paper quoted Daniels as suggesting that North Caro lina establish a Consolidated University "composed of Chapel Hill, State College at Raleigh, Woman's College in Greensboro and the teachers' colleges at Boone and Green ville." He pioneered the idea in a guest appearance before a joint session of the General Assembly while he was Navy Secretary. After years of study and re search, Morrison believes his book's title, "Small-d Demo crat," best sums up Josephus Daniels as a person. "Though he was a 'capital D Democrat' in the life of his state and nation, he was a 'small-d Democrat' in his re lationships with people," the author explained; - - - "Josephus Daniels was for equal rights for all and spec ial privileges for none. He used the same tone of voice for the janitor as for the gov ernor or president. He never lost the common touch."

Melina says it's her best role yet, even though the Legion of Decency gave the picture a condemned rating because it contains a salacious love scene. Also starring are Romy Schneider and Peter Finch. A Bit Of Uncertainty Spices Science Show The Raleigh Little ' Theater is currently presenting a pro ducion of "The Rope Danc ers' by Morton Wishengrad.

MONOGRAM DINING (Wl ROOM Luncheon Special for Today FISH STICKS VTARTAR SAUCE Choice of Two Vegetables Salad w Dressing Beverage Bread & Butter Homemade Layer Cake 97c By MIRIAM HENKEL James E. Wadsworth may not be a showman, but he cafi tell you that the show must go on. And he's never surprise dat the things that try to keep WUNC-TV "Science and Na ture" from going on. One guest from the UNC School of Pharmacy uninten tionally brought his own first aid victim to the show. He was discussing fainting when he happened to glance at the high school girl who was as sisting his demonstration. "I believe Sue looks a little faint now," he said. Cameramen had enough presence of mind to switch to scenes other than Sue's faint ing. She did faint, but re turned later to finish the show. "You never know what's go ing to happen," Wadsworth admits. ' - The show was Wadsworth's brain child back when WUNO TV was still in diapers, too. Despite emergencies which may, and often do, arise, "Science and Nature" has gone on the air at 2 p.m. ev , ery 'Wednesday, for t w.el.ve years, a total of 384 tele casts. 1 love the whole thing. It's the highlight of my job and I do consider it a part of my job. I guess you develop a lit tle bit of knack about it, but I'M SO PROUD I JUST PICKED OUT A UNIQUE GIFT FOR MY GIRL FRIEND UNC BEER MUGS ANIMALS PENNANTS RED & BLUE NIGHTSHIRTS I have a lot to learn," he says. The program is directed to ward junior and senior high school students. The telecast is beamed to a potential view ing audience of one and one half million people in pied mont and eastern North Caro-, Una. A wide variety of science topics is broadcast, from X-. rays to seashells, from spices to microscopes. A recent program involved scientific crime investigation. "Plastic Surgery" and "Sci entific Testing of Fibers and Fabrics" are two of the topics coming up this winter. "The show is informal; we , don't want a lecture. The , truth of it is, it's all spon taneous and unrehearsed. I think that adds spice," Wads worth says, somewhat like a proud papa. ; This informality, Wadsworth feels, is the key to the show's .twelve-year success. Wadsworth has been direc tor of the UNC Housing Office since it was formed 21 years 3 ago and has. been, a frequent lecturer at Morehead-' Plane tarium. His background in radio and television study and as a science teacher in Durham, Chapel Hill and Hope Vally TTftxh 5Ifhno1 makes him an ideal moderator for the show. Every year he has a high school assistant. This year his assistant is Britt Nichol son, a senior at Chapel Hill High School and son of Dr. George Nicholson, UNC statis tician. "All of them have been good," Wadsworth says of his student assistants. Research Triangle Institute and More head Planetarium participate in the programs which run during the school year, about 30-35 programs per year. 1 "Tp -j k : i X J J h I .
