Any departments, organiza- tions or individuals with such items are invited to mail or bring them to The Daily. Louis R. Clark and Robert G.' Cope have been appointed to the University Extension Service to fill two vacancies left in the de- partment more than a year ago by the resignation of Clyde V. House and the transfer of Mrs. Louise G. Cain. A group calling itself "Room- mates Limited" has distributed in- formation and, a phone number' to call to apply for a roommate.' This phone number is incorrect. and apparently the group is no longer in business, Mrs. Norma Kraker, supervisor of off-campus dousing in the Office of Student Affairs, reported yesterday. * * * TODAY 7:30 p.m.-Mass meeting will be :eld for MUSKET's production of Leonard Bernstein's "Wonderful, Town" in Union Ballroom. Audi- tions will be held Thursday, 7-10 p.m., Friday 7-11 p.m., 'Saturday. 9 a.m.-noon at MUSKET office, second floor Michigan Union. TOMORROW 8 p.m.-The Young Democrat, will hold an organizational meet- ing in Rm. 3MN of the Michigan Union. The discussion will focus on the plans for the fall elec- tion. I - k f, 1 The Democratic "solid" South- anchored by the strange political "marriage" of white segregation- ists and Negro voters - shows short-term strength but long-term weakness, a southern observer re- ports. Prof. James W. Prothro of the University of North Carolina poli- tical science department explains Group Starts Studies of Extensions (Continued from Page 1) College founded last year; The only present branch college is Oakland University at Roches- ter, Mich. It belongs to MSU. The University directs two-year 'senior" colleges at Flint and Dearborn, with the former pegged for full-fledged four-year status next fall. why long-term history may be on the southern Republicans' side in "Political Issues and Business in 1964," a new publication by the i University's Foundation for Re- search on Human Behavior. Prof. Prothro says surveys have revealed that a little over 60 per cent of southern white respond- ents think of themselves as Demo- crats, compared to about 14 per cent who think of themselves as Republican. Southern Negroes show equal disdain for the party of Lincoln and Earl Warren, he adds. Only about 10 per cent of voting age Negroes call themselves strong or weak Republicans, while 51 per cent consider themselves to be Democrats. Almost Identical Among persons who have some interest in politics, Prof. Prothro says, "The distribution of party identification within the two races is virtually identical; 73 per cent of the whites and" 75 per cent of the Negroes aligning themselves somewhere on the Democratic side of the spectrum. "This consensus is amazing, even to those hardened to the incon- sictencies of American politics. The sharpest and most divisive conflict in American politics exists between these same southern Negroes and whites. Seventy-three per cent of the white 'strong' Democrats say they believe in the strict segre- gation of the races, while 77 per cent of the Negro strong Demo- crats favor integration." This "massive political misce- genation" cannot be accounted for entirely on the basis of "bread- and-butter" social welfare issues, Prof. Prothro says., Dems Are Conservative "Among southern whites, there is a slight tendency for Demo- crats to be more conservative on questions of social welfare and government activities than those who identify with the Republican party," he explains. The author points out that both races have essentially favorable at- titudes toward the Democratic par- ty. Its partisans believe the party is better for the working man and that "conditions are good" un- der its leadership. The most' com- mon negative element in the Dem- ocratic image held by white south- erners is that it is "too good to Negroes," a view held by nearly one white voter in ten The party of Lincoln is com- monly seen as the party of de- pression, big business favoritism, and mistreatment of workers, Prof. Prothro writes.; The party identification of southernors has changed little re- cently, he explains, and the short-! range trend seems to favor the Democratic party: Negroes "Hhe Democratic bias of Ne- groes is overwhelming, and it, seems unlikely that many of them can be shifted permanently to the, Republican column. As more southern Negroes vote in the fu- ture, they can be expected to swell7 the Democratic ranks under all but, the most unusual circumstances. "But it is also a fact that the Negroes are leaving the South . . . and it is still generally true that when a Negro leaves the South, a Democrat leaves the South." Furthermore, Prof. Prothro adds urbanization and suburbanization will continue along with whitb em- igration; factors which will tend to equalize the strongly Demo- cratic rural areas. Collegians Republican? I "A-college education is associat- ed with relatively pro-Republican images, and the proportion of southern whites attending college is on the increase," the southern analyst points out. "Southerners who think of themselves as be- longing to the middle class are much less Democratic in their sentiments than those who think of themselves as belonging to the working class; it is fairly safe to assume that an increasing propor- tion of southerners, as well'as oth- er Americans, will think of them- selves as middle class in the future. "All things considered, then, the thrust of history seems to be on the Republicans' side," Prof. Pro- thro declares. This can be a very slow proc- ess, and if party realignmentis to come to the Soulth more suddenly the Negro problem will probably serve as the catalyst, he concludes.
