Norman Cousins, edi ,r ol the Saturday Keview, has said, ' MiiiM.ui jiit is now technologically obsolete." If this is true, it is time for the I'r.iled States to make a eriitniir tllort to aid the underdeveloped areas of t).' world as they seek a better way ol life. Iletuisph-'i if cooperation cannot be bought with the dollar, ti e peso or any other money. It can only be oM. niifd through a genuine effort from ail pai ties to wnik hither peacefully in an attempt to ltd the five of the earth of (amine, fickntss and want. It can only :e obtained when all nations be pin wit ii the recognition of mutual equality. It can only be oLUined with a common goal, that jvoal being the fnedom of any country to determine Us j ersorial destiny anions the nations of the world, ll can only be obtained when each country admits that the pi cc!ucts and resources falling within any me country IHong to that country and its citizens. It can oily be ohta tied when the diplomats of the participaiir g nations present a true picture of our times. It can only lie obtained when the rights of all individ. nls are respected by one and all. And finally th bbs.sful state of hemispheric cooperation will only become a reality when the r:ch give to the poor looking to a better tomorrow, as oppoed to today's Kiort run returns. As S.ekon Toure, President of the African 'ra tion cf tliiixa. has commented, "You cannot a.-.k a hungry man to eh oi.se between diamonds m New York and diamonds in Moscow. He takes them where he can get them." We as Americans must recognize this if we are to set about our task with the honest dedication :t will take. Merry Christmas 1. The ntOn is at war. 2.

A tall, dark, young man stood on the free don't ee how anyone who has throw line of a baskelhal! court in Kansas, picked up a newspaper in the His name was Joe Quigg. His team our great p.i.-.t un years coul.l escape the team was trailing the University of Kansas by- one point in the final game of the 1957 NCAA Basketball Tournament play-offs. He had two free tosses facing him. Onl a few seconds remained in the game. His team had won 31 consecutive games that season a collegiate record, including an excruciating triple overtime thriller over Michi gan State the previous night. On Joe's shoulders rested a behemoth task. A failure on his part to convert on either free throw would mean victory for Kansas in all probability, since only 6 seconds remained in the game. A Kan sas win, of course, would bring our tremendous streak to a close; it would give them the NCAA Championship; and even though the last poll of the season had come out a week earlier, it would l!lf:, our shoriag.' make our No. 1 rating much less meaningful. .Joe relaxed and tossed the ball up. It went through and tied the score. He had one more com- iicvs ol tins enronic crisis. " riiree years ago we were short 0 das.-rooms, shoit lt0,(KK) school teachers, and th.s al a time wh'.n school enrollments were increasing at the rate oi 1,2."O.OI0 s.uaents a year. "Ihen came Sputnik and later the Soviet moon strike. Surely tbei.' ohoiild have sunken us .iu o! our national inddioi enc-e to ti.e national school cnsi.v Itut did they.'

He pushed the second one up and it went through beautifully. Carolina was ahead. But there was no relaxing yet. Kansas imme diately called time out in order to plan one last shot which was all it would have time for. When time was in, the ball was passed ,n to Wilt Cham berlain, Kansas' dargantua. He turned for a shot, "Wlile we are losing ground, the Sovi -t U.tion is cngageJ .n a forced drait program ol educa tion. This is on ol the weapons on which it most counts to match which, if good, would give Kansas the game. But us, to ea ch us and to pass us. "Maw i iuth longer can we af ford this s.,;)jing ol our strengdi through the sinful neglect of our M-lioo!.s?" the shot was partially blocked by Joe Quigg and the ball ff-ll into the hands of Tommy Kearns, Caro lina's great guard, who tossed it "straight up into the air just as the buzzer sounded ending the game. Nothing ever sounded as good as that buzzer. I will never forget that one split-second when I re alized that victory was ours. It was as if I were going to explode in ecstatic triumph. Havoc broke loo.,e in. Chapel Hill. Girls' dorms, boys' dorms, sorority houses, and fraternity houses were all vacated. Downtown Frank lin Street was flooded by insanely happy students and townspeople within a matter of minutes. It be came a frenzy of wild, felicitous activity. Coeds were given permission by Chancellor House to stay out until 2 a.m. A bonfire that has yet to be equalled was built in front of the Methodist Church. Its flames consumed any and everything from shirts to Coke crates to park benches. Carloads of Duke students drove over to join in the mad celebration. State College students had pulled for the Tar Heels frantically. At Woman's College, the girls in one dorm were doing the bun ny hop in a corridor, chanting, "We're from Caro lina!" Car horns blew well into the night in my hometown. The next day, over 10,000 loyal Tar Heels met the team at Raleigh-Durham airport. A victory that is shared will live forever. One ness existed on that fantastic night. The team was one as it played three desperate overtimes without the services of Ail-American, Lennie Rosenbluth, who had fouled out before the game went into its first overtime. The students of Carolina became one a mass body of happy Tar Heels. The Big Four became one, as our sister schools forgot old grudges and hates and pulled unanimously for UNC. The state of North Carolina became one as millions of Carolinians glued themselves to their TV sets and cheered the Tar Heels past midnight. In pre-season polls that year, Carolina was ranked as high as second and tdiird in the nation. No one would have given a brass penny, however, on our chances of going through the entire season undefeated. This season, with some of the finest talent in the land (pending the outcome of Dick Kepley's injury and the decision on Doug Moe's eligibility), Carolina has again been ranked in pre-season polls as high as second and third. The situation is similar to the one three seasons ago. Very few would pre dict another undefeated season and the NCAA Championship (the Charlotte Observer even takes an extreme opposite view by picking us to lose to South Carolina on Saturday). But who knows? These two herculean tasks are certainly not outside the realm of possibility.
