The results of the 1 990 Carolina poll
show that many North Carolinians
consider themselves Southerners, but
what the characteristics of a Southerner
are is open to interpretation.
The poll asked: "Some people think
of themselves as Southerners; others
do not. How about you would you
say that you are a Southerner or not?"
Seventy-seven percent of the respon
dents considered themselves to be
Southerners while 21 percent said they
were not. There were three percent who
did not know or had no opinion.
Respondents were also asked which
state they lived in when they were 16
years old. North Carolina was the an
swer given 74 percent of the time and
26 percent lived elsewhere.
'The most obvious determinant (of
being a Southerner) is where you've
grown up," said John Reed, professor
of sociology and director of the Insti
tute for Research in Social Science.
Mac Salley, a junior from Advance,
was born in Wilmington, Delaware.
"I moved from the north at the age of
five," he said. "I did most of my grow
ing up and maturing down in the South.
I think when you mature and learn
about life that's when you basically
adopt your morals, and my morals were
pretty much Southern."
However, not everyone who grew
up in the South consider themselves to
be Southerners. According to Reed,
people have an image in their mind and
if they do not see themselves as fitting
it, they do not consider themselves a
Southerner no matter where they grew
up.
Rob Sipprell, a senior from
Clemmons, was born in Rochester, New
York, and moved to the South when he
Carolina
P i
was nine.
"I consider myself still a Northerner
even though I've lived here most of my
life," he said.
There are at least three reasons why
someone who grew up in the South
would not think of himself as a South
erner, Reed said.
First of all, some people think of an
unflattering image when they think of a
Southerner. They think of the accent or
think of themselves as too liberal to be
Southern. They also may associate
racism with the South.
"Some people are so out of it they
don't know exactly what a Southerner
is," Reed said. "It's not that they're too
cosmopolitan, its that they're not cos
mopolitan enough."
Finally, there are some who reply
"I'm an American," he said. Their rea
soning is that the distinction between
North and South ended with the Civil
War.
People who call themselves South
erners see it as a positive label. Those
interviewed listed some of the qualities
Southerners possessed.
Jennifer Keith, a freshmen from
Winston-Salem, said Southerners had
"polite manners; a slow, easy lifestyle;
just really family-oriented."
Salley said being a Southerner was
"being more polite, as in thinking of the
other guy instead of just yourself; hav
ing fun and enjoying yourself instead
of just running around trying to pursue
money."
Notherners had varying views about
the South before and after coming down
here to go to school.
Joe Miller, a sophomore from
Syracuse, New York, had a positive
view of Southerners. He considered a
Southerner, "someone I would like to
meet considering the fact that I came
down here to go to school. Someone
with the accent and a little more pa
tience; kind of take-your-time slower.
They're all really friendly down here.
"Not everyone holds the same view
I do up North," Miller said. "Some of
the Northerners don't expect them
(Southerners) to be quite as intelligent.
They think that I go to school with
people who have real thick accents and
aren't very intelligent and don't have a
work ethic. While there may be people
like that, the people I've encountered
are not."
Southerners are "stereotypically laid
back," Sipprell said. "They're not too
worried about anything, not too caught
up in what's going on in the world."
Suzanne Hero, a freshman from Prior
Lake, Minnesota, considered South
erners "kind of country with the strong
accent, strong family ties.
'There are some really backward
parts of North Carolina driving down
here," Hero said. "Now that you're
down here, there's a ton of good schools
down here; Carolina's got a ton of
smart people."
Some differences can be observed
seen between Northerners and South
erners. "Northerners are obnoxious Yankees
that really don't care about stepping on
other people's toes," Keith said.
Hero disagreed. "The part of the
obnoxious northerner comes more from
the Northeast, like New York where
the people are pretty rude. The concep
tion that guys up north don't have any
manners, that's not true."
"I think a Northerner, basically; i$j
afraid of the world," Salley sajel;.!
"They're scared of everything, and trjaj
inhibits them a lot. I roomed witjt'$'
Northerner my freshman year, and; if;
someone came to the door, he would
just crack it and look out: 'Who's therje?
What do you want?'"
Sipprell said, "Besides the way they
(Northerners and Southerners) talk,
which is probably the most obvious,
you find more religious fanatics down
here in the south. Northerners are more
upbeat, want to get things done. When
you think of a Northerner, you think of
New York City, and how everything is
all hustle and bustle." ; ''
One image Southerners have had a
hard time shaking is that of being rac
ists. Joey Yates, a freshman who moved
to Chapel Hill in 1987 from Green
River, Wyoming, said, "Before I came
here, I'd never even talked to a black
person. I'd seen them on TV, and there
were a few that came through town. For
a long time, I thought it (the racial
situation in the South) would be like it
was back in the '60s.
"I was talking to this girl's dad, and
we were talking about being from
Minnesota. He said, 'How many black
people were in your high school? !
said, 'Oh, there was one girl.' He said,
'Consider yourself lucky.' That pissed
me off," Yates said.
Allison Cashwell, a freshman ftom
Mount Airy, agreed that the racist stere
otype was a problem. ..it
"I do think that people outside .the
South consider Southerners racist. I
think it also has to do with how strong
your accent is. They (non-Southerners)
think we're ignorant because of it.' .
State to decide today on requesting anti-smoking grant
From Associated Press reports
RALEIGH A decision on whether
the state will apply for a $5.5 million
federal grant to help people stop smok
ing will come today, only days after the
governor urged the state to try for the
money.
A spokesman for William Cobey Jr.,
secretary of the state Department of
Environment, Health and Natural Re
sources, said the decision would come
today.
"He has not made any decision to
withhold the application, neither has he
made any decision to proceed," said
Don Follmer, a department spokesman.
A spokesman for Gov. Jim Martin
said Tuesday that the governor had
suggested the state's proposal be di
rected at people who wanted to quft
smoking, rather than at pushing people
into the program.
David Prather, the spokesman, said
the voluntary nature was in keeping
with the governor's letter last month to
President Bush. The governor said at
tacks by health officials on tobacco
could do serious political damage to
Republicans running for office.
