THE YOUNGER GENERATION We are again reminded of the fact that, the younger generation is well in aclvatv * of its elders in c.oim of its attitudes. V: - giotis recent polls in soul hern institutions have revealed a much more sane ml matter-of-fact attitude on the pact of the white college students on the question of admitting Negroes to graduate schools in the South than might have been ex pected. The white student* of a Canadian university reccnly made a beautiful cok ored girl queen of flieir ico carnival. The divergence in attitudes between the young and their <*Ulma may some times be accounted for by the superior kmo.vh.Mige, ha -c;! on twepermneo, oi the older generation, but quite olteu tlie rea son ir a diliorent one. 'l'he youth has mow. enthusiasm for the right. The status quo baa n<>! i ios ei sis grip so firmly' on him. H. has not become so involved in the cross currents of issues that be tails, as hie cider-, so often do, to sec principles mow clearly than detail.-.. So we read that students at the 1 niver sity vi'Nsnii Carolina turew stencil bombs into ;;n assembly of Klam-mien in Colum bia. and wlien driven away by the police d-'fetiding the “Hi ht” oi Ua- luuioded iiand to hold its meeting, heckled the as* x>.-mb)age from the sideline;-. Whatevi r one may think of the juven ile method by which these college students o.jn'essed their disapproval .of the Finn ; v, is at. it stands lor. the fact remains tiu\\ did e>-pre-s then disapproval, bi'. v showed what, they wought of the Ki:.n. and by impin-ation, of the organ (l ad. v, world w hicii l>ecau.-m oi > in• v.avhv or apathy tolerates such an orgar:- ;•/ ; ; ,i witli its know a aims and methods. * * rims is hope f-.»r South Carolina. 1 ! lies in tie younger general ion. J. MELVILLE BROUGHTON ,r. Melville B. mgiit'on was a soutueni < y lb- was proud of u ami certainly ieh. > need to apologize for it. But he was a vnerner of the belter tradition. As it sun - no or catevd to race pre i i■ ■ o ye.,;)]?, not iH’g'eting the inler t- ts of the Negroes of North Caroi.ua. It ode rate in his public utterances, lie did not try by words to make n bad cause seem good. He often b>ok a traditional view of racial matters, but there was no*king .yu, ol - Mick in Ir.s appraae;;. ll was a good, hom-st middle-of-the road atesm.tn and potitiv iun, tvilh a ctrong s.mst i de ency, a love ol justice and 1 aimers, and a real if conservative in terest m racial and inter-racial progress. Senator Broughton was scheduled to ta k<:• his turn the day following his death to ‘register, as other'southern senators •had and wilt, his views on the move to -'coteh the filibuster. One wonders w hat he vvuuid have said. We are sure he was against the rule change, but we are. equal ly certain that his arguments would have been tm a nigh plane, that he would nor have descended to demogouery, and that he would have maintained his personal dignity. Mr. Bn‘lighten was a good governor, and he was going to be a good senator, in the contest against his Republican op ponent for the office, who was more Dix iecrat than Republican. Senator Brough te a refused to be drawn into making race and the obvious lights of Negro citizens an issue. Negroes gladly supported him, 5 th in the primaries and in the general election. They did not expect him to bo a crusader for certain things dear to their carts, but they knew he would always Be honest, stviaghtfonvard and decent. And Hi at is a h,i 1: ?H1 the politicians and officeholder.- a Ninth ( arolina were as fair and straightforward as Senator Broughton was, North Carolina would come nearer to being the. ideal place she is often pictured as being. And North l. arolina is a pretty good place, after all. 'manks to men like the late Senator Broughton. THE CAROLINIAN ryi -<«* 4, *4Me n> ir*' \ Anaohea Wake * p.
