Fall Publications By NC
The University of North- Caro- i
lina Press has issued its list of
fall publications. It includes
books by prominent writers and
educators from several parts of
the United States. -
Donald R. Matthews, associate
professor of political science at :
UNC has written -a book en
titled "U. S. Senators and Their ,
World," which concerns people
who served in the Senate dur-
irig the critical years between
1947 and 1957 and the way in
which they behaved in the face
of national problems.
From intensive observations
and interviews with senators,
Congressional staff members,
lobbyists and Capitol Hill jour
nalists, Dr. Matthews has drawn
a collective portrait of - four
types of politicians. Classifying
these types as amateurs, pro
fessional, patricians and agita
tors, he examines party leader
ship and the "committee caste
system" and investigates sena
tbrs' contacts with lobbyists,
journalists, constituents and ad
ministrators.' By describing the
human factors in the Senate, he
has captured- the exciting, atmosphere-
of. a chamber-full of
drama, conflict, and history.
Louis R. Wilson, retired Ke
nan Professor of Library Science
and' Administration at Caro
lina, has completed a biography
of Harry Woodburn Chase, who
served as president of UNC and
the - University- of Illinois and
chancellor 'of New York Univer- -sity
from1 1919 no 1951. Dr. Wil-"
son sketches the careerof this"
outstanding American univer
sity statesman -and ' appraises it
against the educational chal-lenges-of
the 32-year period."
"The Southerner as Ameri
can," a volume containing con
tributions by nine Southern writ
ers, reveals that "the traditional
emphasis on the SouthV-differ-ences
and on the conflict be
tween Southernism and Ameri
canism is historically wrong. It
emphasizes that conflicts have
occurred between Southerners
and within the South as much
as between the North and South.
Contributors include John Hope
Franklin,- Thomas P. Govan,
Charles Grier Sellers, David
Donald Grady McWhiney,
George B. Tindall (UNC), L'. D.
Reddick, Dewey W. Grantham
Jr.; and C. Hugh -Holman

"In general, I think I am vot
ing against the Democratic
platform and probable proce
dure. I think the Republican
program is less likely to ruin
our free enterprise system than
the Democratic."
L. L. Garner, professor of
Mathematics said th"e latest
polls show the two candidates
about even.
"I am for Nixon. I feel that I
had rather cast my lot with the
Republicans than with the Demo
crats." Joe Walser, assistant to Dr.
Bernard Boyd, Department of
Religion, said e was for Nixon.
"I am more in agreement with
the Republican philosophy of
government than the Democratic."

DR. LOUIS' R. WILSON
Virginia also supplied a large
part' of the leadership - in the
revolution against England and
in the formation and early de
velopment of the federal gov
ernment. This history of colo
nial Virginia is thus a story of
American beginnings and Ameri
can growth Into nationhood.
The first English translation
of the1 twelfth-century ""'Chres-
tien de Troyes" has been made
by Robert White Linker. UNC
professor of Romance languages,
under the title, " "The Story-of

and authoritative book on the
Berlin situation, "Berlin Pivot
of German Destiny," has been
translated and edited by Charles
B. Robson, professor of political
science at the University. The
book is a frank evaluation of
Berlin's past, present, and fu
ture by prominent West Berlin
educators and government of
ficials.
Vigorous and concise, "A His
tory of South Carolina 1865-1960"
by McPherson Lander Jr., of
Clemson College, provides -both
the general reader and the stu
dent with a modern account of
the political, economic,' and edu
cational development of the
state." Dr. Lander places empha
sis on the fairly constant pat
terns of politics, agriculture, in
dustry, transportation, educa
tion, and race relations before
World War II and the very
rapid and significant changes
which have occurred since.
"The Power of the Purse, a
History of American Public Fi
nance, 1776-1790" by E. James
Ferguson of the University of
Maryland is the first extensive
twentieth-century work in the
field. It is a significant contri
bution to the understanding of
American economics, govern
ment and history.
Dr. Edwin Arthur Miles of the '
University of Houston has writ
ten a volume entitled "Jack
sonian Democracy in Mississip
pi" w hich traces both the evo
lution of the Democratic party

David Hunter Strother" by Cecil

papers and presents an animat
ed portrait ' of a remarkable
American.
Dr. Lawrence H. Leder of
Brandeis University illuminates
a little-known epoch of Ameri
can . history in his new book,
"Robert Livingston and. the
Politics of Colonial New York,
1654-1728." It throws light on
the evolution of New York poli
tics and illustrates the gradual .
conversion of transplanted Eu
ropeans into Americans prior to
1776.'
"Education in the Forming of
American Society" ' by Bernard
Bailyn of Harvard University
is a pungent revision of the -professional
educator's school of
history. In . an analysis that
ranges beyond formal educa
tion to encompass such vital
determinants as. the family, ap
prenticeship, and organized re
ligion, it traces the cultural con-
text of education in early Ameri
can society and the evolution
of educational standards in the
colonies.
Jacques Hardre, UNC profes
sor of French, has contributed
articles to "The Yearbook of

Heavy Migration
Lower Tar Heel
Population
"Every year enough Tar Heels
migrate to other states and regions
to develop a town the size of Burl
ington or Kannapolis," said Dr."
Selz C. Mayo of the Department
of Rural Sociology at State College..
Dr.' Mayo was speaking on "Popu"
lation and Employment Trends ia
North Carolina" at the Annual
Workshop of Distributive Educa
tion being held here in Chapel
Hill '
Dr. Mayo . went on to say that .
the natural increase each" year in -
population in North Carolina is .
enough to populate a city the size
of Durham, but due to migration
to other 'states' the actual increase v
is somewhat lower, . and : is only
enough to populate a town the
size of Fayetteville. In other words
between 1950: and 1960 the popula
tion-of North Carolna should have
increased by 791,459, but the actual
increase was only 460,820. Dr. Maya
attributes this loss of population
by some 330,000 to migration to
other states.
"The season for this," said Dr
Mayo, "is that population ;movea
to those areas where economic op
portunities are better. And that
is why there is a heavy concentra
tion of population in the Piedmonts
North Carolina.
This very rapid change- in the
areas of concentration has account
ed for 39 of the 100 counties to lose
people in the past decade. Twenty:
five of the smaller counties (population-wise)
now contain 5 per
cent of the total population.
North Carolina has been tradi
tionally divided into four regions.
The 25 - mountain - counties have
registered an increase of population
by one per cent. The 34 Piedmont
counties have gained by 16 per
cent in the past decade. The 23
coastal plain and the 18 tide-water
counties have increased- by 7.2 and
17.5 per cent respectively. But
these two areas have two military
bases each and if these bases are
excluded the net increase is only
0.8 and 4.4 per cent respectively. .
