"Democracy does indeed m o v e too slowly and students such as those at Berkeley get the feeling that they are just numbers, a mass instead of a group of individuals." In spite of this uneasiness, he feels that "the students or other agitators are not justified in dis rupting colleges and established in stitutions a n d forcibly imposing their will on the rest of those in volved. Turning to student politics here at Carolina, Dr. Wilson labeled the students as predominantly "con servative, more interested in drink ing than politics." He did not feel that concern about student takeovers and riots at Carolina were imminent. "We don't have to worry about Carolina. Not yet. New York and California are your present problems. Ihese disturbances should be resolved be. fore they spread. If they are not, then possibly we can expect trouble here In the future." A main shortcoming of people in South Carolina is "their failure to recognize that there is a New York and a California. Relatively, South Carolina is not as signifi cant. What is true here at home is not necessarily so outside the state. South Carolinians must accept the reality of the opinions of those in New York, California, and else where." Dr. Wilson expressed concern about the coming elections and the seeming panic that people demon strate in wanting a change. lie did not foresee any inumediate lessening of tension in the coun try upon the election of a new president. "Many people think a change will take place after the election, order will be restored, a n d the ideals of democracy will a g a i n abound and flourish. But it's not that easy. It takes time. Some enthusiasts make the mis take of finding a leader for a cause they support and then trying to iake him into everything they be eve in." /W The Blossom Shop F LOR IST S Devin. and Saluda UC Bu I Reltivlyunkownan fain all of heprolem f wnss the Unierit'sBuea ovUba and We CRS Bureau of Urban A USC Bur BY DEBRA KNIGHrr Staff Writer Relatively unknown ane facing all of the problems of newness, the University's Bureau of Urban and Regional Affairs has been testing its wings on recent and current projects which appear to be quite successful.

Perhaps of more direct concern to students is the practical application of the results of this research.
