Nevdspaper Circulation
In Large Metropolitan Areas
Daily newspaper circulation
is growing in 15 of the nation's
21 most populous
metropolitan areas, according
to a study made by Prof.
Kenneth R. Byerly of the
University of North Carolina's
School of Journalism.
"This refutes a false
impression that was created in
part by the spectacular and
much publicized folding of
some vulnerable metropolitan
dailies in a few of our large
cities," Byerly reports,

the big metro dailies is down

Conant Discusses
Racial Violence
' Violence within the cities
will in the future move in one
of two directions, either more
black power in the ghettos, or
outright insurrection,
according to Dr. Ralph Conant
of Brandeis University.
Dr. Conant, associate
Director of the Lemberg
Center for the Study of
Violence at Brandeis, was at
UNC Wednesday to discuss
"The Origins and Control of
Violence in Cities."
'The long range cause of
violence within the cities," Dr.
Conant told a group of
newsmen, "is the existence of a
minority gVoup which has been
oppressed for some four
centuries."
His comments were based
on research the Lemberg
Center is conducting in ten
"major cities. Conant stressed
the research was concerned not
with individual violence, but
with social violence. He also

by the often spectacular
growth of suburban and other
community dailies from 1950
to 1968 in 20 of the 21
metropolitan areas that have
populations over a million
persons."
Prof. Byerly said that part
of the circulation decline of
the great metro dailies was
caused by the mergers and
failures that cut their number
from 79 in 1950 to 57 in
1968."
Newspapers in metropolitan
areas, according to the
journalism professor who has
been studying circulation of
the nation's newspapers for

differentiated between
race-related or ghetto violence,
and student violence.
"The spontaneous riots have
about run their course," he
concluded.
Dr. Conant notes as short
range causes of violence the
ways in which the cities have
handled past violence and their
over-all approach to the
problem.
"Some officials react with a
massive denial that any
problem exists. This, as well as
the oppressive response of
some local police, causes a
bottling-up of v problems and
pressures." ,.--
Dr. Conant feels that the
main "solution" to the
problem of violence in the
cities lies in the attitudes of
both local political leaders and
national leaders, especially the
( president, toward violence and

closer to their readers, who are
turning increasingly to
suburban and other
community dailies.
"But today's big metro
dailies are also stronger than
many were 18 years ago," he
said.
These and other circulation
trends are revealed in Byerly's
recently completed study,
"Metropolitan and Community
Daily Newspapers A
Comparison of Their Number,
Circulation and Trends for
1950, and 1968 in the Nation's
21 Most Populous
Metropolitan Areas."
"The bigger the city, the
greater the per cent of readers
who turn toward the suburban
and other community dailies
that can devote more space to
the local news so often
meaning most to them,"
Byerly said.

"We are trying to make
what we are doing more
relevant to what the student
does," Eringhaus Governor Bill
Courtney said Thursday.
Courtney was one of six
members of a panel on "The
Residence College System."
The other members were
Dr. Harry Smith, the
Chancellor's special assistant
for Residence Colleges; Bill
Darrah, assistant to Ken Day
and Residence College
co-ordinator, Ben Taylor,
Governor of Scott College;
Tommy Bello, Academic Lt.
Governor of James; Dr. Frank
McCormick and Father Jim
Devereaux, both James Faculty
Fellows.
Courtney explained that
their "idealistically high
expectations" had "not been
met in every sense," but that
"we should be proud of what
has been done,"
Darrah, a past governor of

the Mid East and Vietnam.
The exact number of
schools attending in March is
not known, although last year
"there were at least thirty
different schools," according
to Gary MacBeth.
. "UNC is sending more-than
twice as many delegations than
any other schooL"- he added,
"that gives us , quite an
influence and may help bring
the model U.N. back to
Carolina."
Bowers and" Clifton Matthews,
pianist, will perform "Le Merle
Noir" by Oliver Messiaen and
Sergei ProkoSeff s Sonata in D
major, op. 94.
Miss Bowers joined the UNC
music faculty last fall She
holds a B.A. from Wellesley
College, where she studied with
James Pappaoutsakis of Boston'
Symphony, and an M.A. in
niusic history from Berkley.
Susan Webb, harpsichordist,
has studied at the Eistman
School of Music and the
Conservatoire Nationale de
Musique in Paris, and holds a
master's degree in the
performance of early music
from Stanford University. She
has also been selected for
master's classes with
accompanist Gerald Moore in
Sweden.
Residence College Dilemma
James, stressed the importance
of a total co-educational setup
and the "attempt to promote
identification at a smaller level
than the university leveL"
Ben Taylor said that one
problem in establishing full
male and female participation
was that it is "hard for many
men to envision having girls,
participate in the initiation of
projects."
He added that co-ordination
of efforts was essential and
cited the passing of the
Residence College Federation
by the Woman's Residence
Council and the Board of
Governors on Tuesday night as
& step in this direction.
Taylor added that in Scott,,
the "residence college with
girls next door," a girl was
running for Governor. "There
are so many things to consider
in working girls into residence
colleges," he concluded.
Tommy Bello also cited the
problem of "getting them
(boys and girls) to work

together toward a more
meaningful relationship within
the university community.
Bello has been largely
responsible for the Junes
College American Crisis Film
series. This is an attempt to
"confront the student with the
crises that he will be facing in
later life."
Bello said that a "main
objective is challenging the
student making him want to
be involved, concerned, to use
his talents not only to better
develop the residence college
but to better develop himself."
The discussion, attended by
many housemothers and
female graduate counselors,
kept returning to the problem
of co-educational " residence -college
living. J
Dr. Harry Smith said his
realization that "the notion of
co-education is not just social"
was an "insight Tve gained this

Dr. McCormick stated that

added that mixed residence
college classes help "create a

He also said that the
chances of establishing "a

Other factors cited include
