Dr. Fl S.C. E Dr. A. C. Flora Jr., director of the USC Bureau of Business and Economic Research which pub lishes the Review, is author of "The South Carolina Economy: 1966" which appears in the De cember issue of Business and Eco nomic Review. There has been continued eco nomic growth in South Carolina in 1966 but at a reduced pace, writes Dr. Flora. * The slowdown in the economic growth of South Carolina reflects the "mixed actions" in the na tional economy during the year. But he believes the signs of slowdown due to the condition of the national economy during the year are offset-for the long run "by continued signs of business vitality" in the state. He notes that the Kiplinger Magazine, "Changing Times," sin gled out Columbia in its Novem ber issue as one of several cities CORNELL ARI " GOOD FOOD " Convenient To Campui " Pleasant Atmosphere " 10% Discount On Mec STUDENT SPECI4 MASTER'S CAP You h pretto for g for yc Now i good puttir For putting it such as: IBM\ is THlE lc industry: infori D)oesn't it stanic thcst with an< company? ou'Il be advan talents and amd Whatever yc sign up now If, for somc reason, >ra Exp: conomic in the Southeast which is expected to outpace the growth of the re gion due to the city's business vitality. The pace of industrial invest ment in new plants and equipment in South Carolina appears to con tinue unabated and "last year's record-shattering mark can per haps be approached." Dr. Flora comments: "This growth in the industrial capacity of our economy is a good indication of continued future health. "We must continue providing new jobs for our expanding popu lation and for those persons still unemployed. Industrial growth is a primary means to that end." The rate of increase in non farm employment is down to 1.4 per cent, compared with 2.2 per cent in 1963, 2.6 per cent in 1964, and 2.9 per cent in 1965. South Carolina is in a three-way tie for 18th place in the nation WS CAFETERIA Ii Books LS IDIDATES: ad a y good reas( ung on ur Master's ere are son ones for ig it to work to work with IBA1.

N.F., At. resses Views for personal income gain, but the state's position is lower than the one it held earlier in the year. For the first eight months of 1966, personal income in South Oarolina has been estimated as nine per cent above the compara ble period a year ago-slightly higher than the 8.2 per cent gain nationally. The a v e r a g e manafacturing workweek "has remained surpris ingly high" in South Carolina, while the insured unemployment rate is low at 1.74 per cent. Total construction activity is off some "due in large part to the effects of tight money on segments of the construction industry." Dr. Flora quotes an F. W. Dodge Co. report which reveals that al though housing construction in South Carolina is down from last year, commercial construction is more than holding its own. A new tonnage is being set up by the S. C. State Ports Authority this year. The Authority is in the midst of a $6 million expansion program--"important indicators of business in South Carolina." "With the continuance of sound, moderate government, peaceful and cooperative labor relations, along with progressive educational and training programs, the state appears headed for better and bet ter times. "The state has competitive ad vantages it can offer industry and business which are not universally available. ) went on for your advanced, To miake the most of your pot< You can choose from six mlajor< I BA1: Computer A pplications Finance and Administration.

USC Press Prints Book Announced recently by the Uni versity Press is another in its reprint series, "C h a r I e s t o n Ghosts," by Margaret Rhett Mar tin. The book has proved a popular seller througout South Carolina and in adjoining states since its first publishing in 1963. Charleston is famous for its ghosts and no city in America has more. In this collection the author introduces real people, real houses and real ghosts, some of whom come back to haunt and hate. Some of the tales in "Charleston Ghosts" are d o c u m e n te d, the author states, and some are veri fied in public records. Others have been reported by "word of mouth." The author states in the intro duction, "I believe in ghosts. . . . Seeing ghosts runs in my family. I am convinced that every old Charleston house has its ghostly visitor; if one is properly attuned, he will be aware of its presence." Eighteen Iegenda, told with charm and drama, are included in "Charleston Ghosts."
