Carolina Econ An economist as famous as a singer? Maybe not in the United States, but it can happen in Lebanon. The famous Lebanese singer is Nasri Chamseddine. The economist is Dr. Ezzedin Shamsedin, assistant professor of economics at Carolina. They are brothers, despite the difference in spelling. Dr. Shamsedin has returned to his teaching duties at the Uni versity, but this summer he visited his native Lebanon under a post doctoral research grant to evaluate the success of the U. S. Point Four program there. In Arabic, French and English the newspapers of Lebanon's capi tal, Beirut, reported Dr. Shamsedin's visit at length. They gave a great deal of additional space to his career since leaving the country 12 years ago to study in the United States. Beirut's English-language "Daily Star" called Dr. Shamsedin's return to Lebanon "a personal triumph of note." Columnist Genevieve Maxwell recounted how the younger brother of singer Nasri Cham seddine "worked his way through higher education" in the United States, first at Berea (Kentucky) College, widely known for its self help program for students; then at Auburn (Alabama) University for a master's degree; and finally at the University of Florida where he earned the doctor of philosophy degree. But Dr. Shamsedin's personal achievements were nonetheless secondary to Lebanon's intense interest in his work. He arrived in Beirut intending to remain a month for his Point Four evaluation. Later, the time was extended 10 days. Purpose of the evaluation was to determine whether Lebanon needs additional economic assistance, or whether the nation has reached a level of economic growth which can be sustained inde pendent of aid programs.

Dr. Shamsedin found "fall and spacious buildings, particularly in Beirut, numerous shiny cars and other modern advances." But he also found "an unplanned, cluttered hodge-podge," and discovered that "the rural section of the economy has slid back and lacks both social and educational awakening." Among Dr. Shamsedin's observations are some which have a familiar ring: 1. Individualism is a pronounced problem, and more persons "are grabbing more for themselves," with no sense of responsibility and without developing "a public conscience." Without a public conscience, he said, the public cannot take collective action. Dr. Shamsedin said individualism is causing a great lack of re spect for public decrees and laws. 2. There is a wholesale exodus of rural residents to urban areas, particularly Beirut, for work and pleasure. This is so, Dr. Sham sedin believes, because of the absence of work opportunities and pleasure activities in the rural areas. He forecasts that in the near future half of Lebanon's population will be in Beirut, a city which cannot possibly absorb the additional people. Many great problems are ahead. 3. Lebanon's preoccupation with liberal arts over technical edu cation has resulted in serious deficiences in technical services. Dr. Shamsedin discussed the country's future with officials of the Lebanese and American governments, including Lebanon's president, Fouad Chehab.

V. SMann OOa...eMu% n e 14 )rated In East gave Dr. Shamsedin "some hope," but the list of needs is impressive: -a national policy to achieve balanced growth in all aspects of life. -government leadership to c<rrect weaknesses brought on by individualism. -proper administration and execution of development programs to make best use of the country's real potentials. -penetrating statistical studies to include a population census listing skills, available manpower, education of citizens, and other characteristics of the population. The full benefits of the U. S. Point Four program are not being realized in Lebanon, Dr. Shamsedin said. He saw dissensions and faults on both the Lebanese and American sides, "with the most un fortunate results that the Lebanese people were losing the chance they deserved-to have their standards of living raised much higher in this crucial economic period of the country's history." Dr. Shamsedin's final report of his findings in Lebanon will go to the faculty of the School of Business Administration, the U. S. State Department and the Lebanese government. Throughout his visit, the Lebanese accorded Dr. Shamsedin high est consideration and respect, he said. Dr. Shamsedin's press con ference, held just before his departure for the United States, was heavily attended and extensively reported. Photographs of the professor-some with his singer-brother appeared in many newspapers. Dr. Shamsedin joined the University faculty in 1958. He pre viously had taught at Queens College where he was acting head of the Department of Economics. Mrs. Shamsedin is the former Miss Dolores York of Wayneville, N. C.
