TheInstituteofSouthernCulturepresenteditscurrent programoflecturesatLongwoodCollegeonApril24,1964. ThelecturesinthisserieswereonsomeaspectsofSouthern economics,politics,andpresscoverageoftheSouthern racestory.

ThepapersforthisspringInstitutewerereadbyDr. LorinA.Thompson,DirectoroftheBureauofPopula.ion andEconomicResearchattheUniversityofVirginia,Dr. JamesM.Helms,AssociateProfessorofHistoryandSocial Science,LongwoodCollege,andMr.RobertC.Smith, EditoroftheeditorialpagefortheCharlotteNews,Charlotte, NorthCarolina.

The1964lecturesoftheInstituteofSouthernCultureare remarkableforthevisiontheyhold.Thisisavisionofa NewSouth-aSouthofstableeconomicprosperity,ofjust andresponsiblevotinghabits,andoffreeandadequate communication.Thompson,Helms,andSmithnotonly presentedthisvision,buttheyalsosuggestedpositive, pracucalstepsformakingthisvisionbecomeareality.

Dr.ThompsonisanativeofGreeley,Colorado.He receivedhisB.A.,M.A.,andPh.D.degreesfromOhioState University,andstudiedfurtherinthegraduateschoolsof theUniversityofChicagoandtheUniversityofPittsburgh. BeforehecametoVirginia,Dr.ThompsontaughtpsychologyatOhioWesleyanUniversityandservedasD1rettor ofResearchandDirectoroftheDepartmentofEconomic SecurityofCincinnati.Beforeheassumedhispresentduties attheUniversityofVirginia,hewasdirectoroftheVirginia PopulationStudy,VirginiaStatePlanningBoard,Richmond.He--haspublishednumerouspapersinprofessional sociology,economics,andpsychologyjournals.

Dr.Thompson'spaper,"RegionalFactorsThatInfluence EconomicProgressintheSouth,"discusstdtheSouth's economicchangewithafactualaccountoftheregion's developmentduringthelastthirtyyears,somechallenges anddangersofthepresenttrendsinurbanizationand industrialization,andproposalsforfacilitatingastable industrialclima.einthearea.

Thompsoncitedtwonotablestudiesmadeinthe1930's, aninter-agencystudyoftheSouthernAppalachianArea andextensivestudiesdirectedbythelateHowardOdumat theUniversityofNorthCarolina,ascomprehensiveaccountsofeconomicconditionsintheSouthasofthat decade.TheSouthernAppalachianAreastudycollectedand analyzed"waysinwhichSouthernerswereusingtheir resources"and"fac;orswhichappearedmostsignificant andpromisingindevelopingahigherstandardofliving andofenrichingthelivesofthepeople."ProfessorOdum's book, Southern Regions in the United States (Universityof NorthCarolinaPress,1936),lists"'...thetragediesof reconstruction,ofraceconflict,ofNegro-whiteandwhiteNegrodomination,ofturbulentpolitics,andmultiple minorcriseswithintheseveralstatesandinstitutions'" (p.11)asfactorsinfluencingSoutherneconomyuptothe 1930's.Thompsonadded,"TheconditionsandcircumstancesdescribedbyOdumhavenotchangedgreatly withinthelastthirtyyears."

Ondataobtainedfromthe1960CensusofPopulation, Thompsoncomparedthemedianincomeofwhitesand non-whitesintheUnitedStatesandtheelevenSoutheastnn states.ThemedianincomeofalltheSouthernstatesis

belowthatofthenation,andthemedianfornon-whites isbelowthatforwhitesintheseelevenstates.Hesaysthis islargely"duetothekindsofoccupationsinwhichthe whitesandNegroeswork."Thompsonsaidthatsome factorsaccompanying"thedisparitiesinincomelevel amongwhitesandNegroes"arethechangingagricultural pattern,theincreaseintradeandmanufacturing,"the growthofcitiesandtowns,andurbanizationofthepopulation."Duringthepastthirtyyearstheincreaseofmechanicalfarmequipmenthasreducedthenumberofpeople requiredtooperatefarms.Withtheincreaseoftradeand manufacturingintheSouththerehasbeena"growthof citiesandtownsandurbanizationofthepopulation." Thisshiftofpopulationco-citiesisacomparativelyrecent phenomenonfortheagrarianSouth,andThompsonsaid, "Theroleofthecityintheculturalandeconomiclifeof theSouthisstillunstttled."

Traditionally,manySouthe:rnerspreferredaruraltoan industrialandurbanwayoflife."Consequently,through theyears,moreandmoreSoutherncommunitiesfacedthe dilemmaofhavingtoomanypeopletryingtomakealiving offtoolittleland,whiletoofewjobswereavailableinthe non-agriculturalsectorforthesurplusmanpower,"Thompsonstated.Thegradualacutenessofthiseconomicproblemhasresultedintherecenttrendtowardurbanization. Moreover,with this shifttowardurbanizationtherehas btenacorrespondingshiftintheracialcompositionof urbanandruralareas.TheNegropopulationhasincreased inurbanareasanddeclirn.dinfarmareas;thewhitefarm populationisincreasing.Also,Negroescontinuetomigrate fromtheSouth,andthegrowthinindustryandbusiness bringsmorewhitestotheSouth.Theseshiftsinpopulation havebroughttotheSouth,especiallyinthecities,acomplexityofproblems-governmental,economic,andeducational-whichchallengetheSouthtotakeitsplacewith confidenceandstabilityinurbansociety.Hebelieved, "TheSouthhasthLchallengeandopportunitytoexercise leadushipindirectingthegrowthofitstownsandcities andinadaptingthestructureoflocalgovernmenttomodernsocialandeconomicneeds."Thompsonsuggested, "Wisechoiceswillenablelocalcitizenstoreceivethebenefitsandadvantagesofimprovedtransportation,easeof communication,andchangesintypesofworkopportunities."Advanceplanningisneededforattractive,welldesigntclcitiesandtownswhicharecomfortabletothe workerandthebusinessmanalike,and,needlesstosay, localtaxesarenecessaryforsuchdevelopments. Thompsonconcludedthatwhatisneededforsound economicdevelopmentis"balancedperspectiveandcommonsenseinthemanagementandadministrationofboth governmentalandbusinessaffairs...Ourgoalsshouldbe todevelopasocietywhichoffersequalopportunitiesfor allgroups.Thismeansequalopportunitiesforalljobs, education,voting,andparticipationincommunityaffairs. Position,reputation,andstatusmustbeearned.They cannotbegivenGoodwillandunderstandingare essentialforpeacefulprogress.Ifourenergiesaredirected towardthesegoals,Ihavenofearforthefuture."

Dr.JamesM.HelmswasborninRockHill,South Carolina.HeattendedEmoryUniversity,receivedhis B.S.degrtefromClemsonCollegeandhisPh.D.degree

attheUniversityofVirginia.BeforehispresentappointmentatLongwoodCollege,hewasAssistantArchivist atAldermanLibrary.Dr.Helmshaswrittenmanybook reviewsfortheVirginiaQuarterlyandtheRichmondNews Leader.

Dr.Helms'paper,"TheSouthernNegroatthePolls," isaresultofresearchinthepublicationsoftheSouthern RegionalCouncil,theCivilRightsCommission,the worksofProfessorsDonaldR.MatthewsandJamesW. ProthrooftheUniversityofNorthCarolina,andhisown collectionofNegroopinioninPrinceEdwardCounty.

Helmssaidthetitleofhispaper"wasdeliberatelychosen asbroadenoughtocoveranyfacetofNegrovotingwhich seemedpertinent,yetpermittedconcentrationonthekey problemofwhysofewNegroesvote."Fromsources alreadymentionedHelmsacquiredcertainavailable statistics.IntheelevenSouthernstatesNegroregistration forvotingis"generallyfrom10to15%ofthetotal number"registered.Thismeansthat85to90%ofthe whitesinthesesamestatesareregistered:

AlabamaandMississippiareexceptionswith8.8% and5%respectively....

I�ev<;rySouth�rnState,thewhitepopulation registersinmuchhigherpercentagesofthevotingage populationthandoestheNegro.OfthoseNegroes ofvotingage,nomorethanoneinfifteenisregistered inMississippi,lessthanoneinfiveinAlabama,and fewerthanoneinfourinVirginia.SevenotherSouthernStateshavefrom30to46%ofthtvotingage Negroesregistered.Tennesseesecsitselfapartwith 64.6%.Regis.rationpracticesandregulationsvary almostasmuchasthepercentages.1

PrinceEdwardCountyhas4,464whitesand1,215 Negroesregisteredtovote,butonly60%ineachgroup maybeconsideredactivevoters.Ofthisactivegroup, "nomorethantwooutoffiveofwhitesandNegroes canbecountedontocometothepollsinanordinary election."PrinceEdward'srecordiscommiseratewith thatoftherestoftheSouth.

HelmsgivesseveralreasonswhysofewNegroesvote. First,theyhavenotacquiredthehabitofvoting,although in"thepost-CivilWarRadicalReconstructionperiod Negroeswerenotonlypnmittedtovote,butwereencouragedtomakeuseoftheirnewprivilege."Second, thecorrelationofeconomicandeducationalconditions withvotingactivityisstrong.

Helmssaid,. "Thecommendablehonestyinsucha personwhodeclinestovotewhenhecannotvoteintelligentlystandsinsharpcontrasttothosewhovote,but donotknowwhyorforwhat."BoththeNegrovoter andnon-voterfeltthatneitherschoolnorparentshad "playedadirectroleinpreparationforvoting."Whites, ontheotherhand,feltthatbothschoolandhomehadbeen influentialintheirvotinghabits.

OpinionsdifferastothecauseoftheSouthernNegro's poliri�alapathy.Somehavethoughtthepolltaxpresented abamertoNegrovoting,butstudiesmadebothbywhites (e.g.,FredericOgden,1958)andNegroes(RalphBunche, 1940,andWilliamM.Ellison,Jr.,1943)foundthatthe polltax"haseffectedwhitecitizensmoredirectlythan

Negroes."InPrinceEdward,onlyoneNegroandonly onewhiteofthepeopleinterviewedbyHelmsgavethe polltaxasaninfluenceontheirvoting.Helmsthinks therepealofthepolltaxinmanystateshashelpedexplode themyththatitwasahandicaptoNegrovo,ing."Texas andArkansas,eachwithapolltaxbutnoliteracyrequirement,hadregistered46.1and41.5%respectivelyoftheir Negrovotingagepopulationasof1963.Thenon-polltax statesofSouthCarolinaandGeorgiahadregistered respectivelyonly30.0and36.2%...Thetaxoperates withoutregardtoraceandwoulddiscourageonlythe leastqualifiedtovote."

Thosewhothinkdiscriminationisthecauseofthe Negro'spoliticalapathyhave,onHelms'thesis,nosubst�ntialproofforthisbelief.TheCivilRightsCommiss10nReportonvotingfor1961,"whichpointsthe fingerofguiltatall12SouthernStates(Oklahomawas addederroneously)"reducestheguiltystatesfirsttofive andlaterto"approximately100countiesofthemore than1,000inthe12states."However,in"countieswhere discriminationinregistrationwasnoticeablyabsent" Negroesstillshowedindifferencetovoting.

Insomespecificcasesinspecificareas,fearofsome kindofreprisaldoesaccountforNegrohostilitytovoting. However,thesefewisolatedinstancesofpressureon Negroesarehardlysufficienttoaccountforsuchwidespreadapathyoftherace.Evenincounueswherethere isnofearofreprisals,pressures,orthreatstheNegro remainsindifferenttovoting.Helms,withreferenceto HorryCou?ty,SouthCarolina,stated,".Icansaywith somecertaintythattheresponsiblefactorsareignorance andpovertyratherthanpressureandthreats."

Helmsmadethefollowingsuggestionsforimproving thevotingsituation.First,bothracesshouldfacethe fac�that _ the"fearo�Negrodominationinanynegrowh1tevotingcontestinallbutafewunusualdistrictsin theSouthisgroundless."Alloverthenation,whites "registerandvoteinlargernumbersthanNegroes."This factshouldberecognizedbycandidatestostoptheir ignorin�oflegitimateinterestsandneedsoftheNegro populauon.Second,theNegrovotershouldrecognize thatfactthathevotes"onaracialbasis.Foreignpolicy, balancedbudgets,farmsubsidies,defenseprograms, internalsecurity,andothernon-racialproblemsofgovernmentseldomconcernhim...Negroleaderscouldsetaside theirconcentrationonnumbersatthepollsandspendtheir effortsteachingqualifiedNegroestovoteonissuesocher thanrace.Indisplayinghisinterestinallmattersofgovernment,theNegroandwhiteswillfindthemselvesallied incommoninterests,"Helmsthought.

Third,thesituationcanbehelpedbypreparingpeople (regardlessofrace)"atthelowereconomiclevelstoraise theirstandardofliving.This,inturn,willleadtobetter educationandmoreinterestingovernment."Fourth, voterqualificationsshouldbe"raisedintermsofliteracy requirements,paymentoftaxes,andresponsibilityof participationinelections."Fifth,"Forthedirectbenefit oftheNegro,"Helmssaid,"Isuggesttheenforcementof oldlawsbeforeunwisepassageofnewones,thiswith particularreferencetovotingrights."Finally,hesuggests, inorderto"helptheNegroassumehisproperrolein Americanpolitics,wemustfirstdeterminejustwhatishis properrole.Informedopinionisabetterguidethanblind emotion."

Hesuggests,however,thatthepress,"NorthandSouth, hasbeentellingthesepast10yearswhathashappened withverylittlegraspofwhyithashappenedandwitho�ly thefaintestinklingoftheimplicationsofthestoryforits readership."

Hethoughtthesimilarityofcoverageof"Southernrace newsinlargeSouthernandNorthernnewspapers"has bothstrengthandweakness."Thestrengthisthatit isdt:centlyobjectiveandfactuallycomprehensive;�he weaknessisthatitdoesnotgovuyfartowardenlarging theunderstandingthereaderhasoftheproblemandthat itis-toomuch-thesame."Smithbelievedthatthe nationalpresshasimproved"initscoverageoftheSouthern racestorysincetheSupremeCourtdecisionofMay,1954," andheasked,"What,then,istheproblem?Ifthecoverage, NorthandSouth,hasbeenimprovedandstands likelytobeimprovedevenmore,whereinhasthepress faileditsresponsibilities?"

"Isaythatthepresshasfailedtotheextrntthatthe readerofoneormoredailypapers,NonhandSouth,is notlikelytolearnmuchaboutlifeintheSouth-perhaps inhisowncommunity-fromreadingtheracecoverage," Smithstated.Thereadermaylearnthefactsofwhathas occurred,"butheisnotlikelytolearnhowthiswasdone, whyitwas.done,whoreallyaccomplishedit,andbywhat meansand-mostimportant-whatitmeanstohim."

HethoughtthefailuresoftheNorthernpressinwriting storiesofracialincidentsintheSouth"havelargelybeen thoseofunderstandingratherthanofbias."Forfiveyears SmithhascloselyobservedtheNorthernpresscoverageof thePrinceEdwardCountycase."Duringthistime,"he said,"IhavereadhundredsofstoriesaboutPrinceEdward CountyintheNorthernpressandIhavefoundthemtobe largelyfactual,generallyfair-minded,andusuallymystifying.Thenamesanddatesaretherebutth�reasonsare missing."HereviewedthefactsofthePrmceEdward CountypositionfromtheMotonSchoolstrikein1951to theclosingoftheschoolsin1959,tellingthedifficulties whichVirginia'sGovernorBattleandthePnnceEdward Countyschoolboardfacedinattemptingtogetsufficient moneytobuildanadequateschoolforNegroes,andhe added:

SmiththoughtthefailureoftheNorthernpressto reportthePrinceEdwardstory"asitreallyhappened" isbecauseofthedifficultyingetting"thefactsseven,eight, and10yearsaftertheyhadhappened,"but,moreaccurately,inPrinceEdwardCounty"andelsewhereinthe South,Northernreportershavenotknownwhattolook forandtheyhavenotknownwhattolookforbecausethey haveacceptedalltheclichesabouttheSouth.Theyare notprejudicedagainsttheSouthparticularly;theysimply acceptalltheterriblyinhumanoversimplificationsabout theSouth."

We are extremely proud of our alumnae chapters for they remain the staunch backbone ofour Alumnae Association and the link between the alumnae and their college.

The chapter presidents convene in early October with the Alumnae Board members to form the Fall Council. Together they plan projects of interest for the year ahead and recapture the joy ofreturning to their Alma Mater for a wonderful weekend.

We had a laugh with Muriel McBride. Not only did she attend Founders Day, shecametheweek-endbefore, coo,thinking that was the proper date! After ten years in a government job in Washington she decided ro renew her teaching certificate and is happily teaching in Franklin. We agree with Muriel when she says, "After 15 years I returned ro Longwood for Founders Day and even though there have been many changes, there is one thingchat warmth and closeness is still there." It was wonderful ro be remembered with a telegram from Elsie Love Bentley Sanford in Houston: "Fifteen years cannot dim my sparkling memories of each of you. Especially roday my heart will be at Longwood wishing you every good thing in abundance in the years co come. With love ro each of you and Charlie Hop. P. S. OurTexas-sizewelcomemati, always ready."

Dalila Agostini Amend and family reluctantly left their church and friends in Tulsa and moved co Chicago whereEdward is a graduatestudent in theDivinity School at the Univ. of Chicago. They expect this ro be a three-year project. Dalila is teaching French at Homewood-Flossmoor High, a large suburban school south of Chicago. The children, Eric-8, Kurt-6, and Laura-5, attend a private school near their apartment in Madison Park. Any Longwood folks in the Chicago areaDali would love co see you.

urge them co join you. Get your hotel reservations in early so we can all be at the Weyanoke together.

Longwood Opens-- 125th Session

Thespeakeratour1964-65convocationthisfallpraised Longwood's125-yearrecordofeducationalleadershipand suggestedtoacapacityaudienceofstudentsandfaculty thata"moralphilosophy"isneededasindividuals adapttochangeandteachersdischargetheircompelling responsibilities.

Dr.JosephC.Robert,professorofhistoryattheUniversityofRichmondandformerpresidentofHampdenSydneyCollege,challengedourLongwoodstudentsto lookforthemoralvaluesineverysituation,justasgreat educatorsofthepastdevelopedamoralphilosophyby whichtoliveandteach.

ReviewingLongwood'spioneeringroleintheeducation ofVirginiawomen,beginningwiththefoundingofthe FarmvilleFemaleAcademyin1839,Dr.Robertnoted thatthepoorpreparationofschoolteacherseventually causedthecollegetobecomeastateteacher-training institutionin1884.

Dr.Robertwasspeakingdirectlytothemanyfuture teachersintheaudiencewhenhedeclared,"Yourre-
