Exactly half. Added to this, of course is the admirable fact that both the winner and the runner-up, Winston - Sa lem Teachers and St Au gustine’s were Tarheel teams The winner came through in grand style, and the local team. Saint Augustine’s, the "dark horse" of the tournament, certainly did itself proud. Squeezing into the tourna ment as the eighth qwaii fying team, and qualify ing then by defeating the other Raleigh candidate. Shaw Cniversity, it lost ••(tie championship by prac tically the harrow test pos sible margin, after an a mazing performance and a brilliant showing, in its first appearance in CIA A tournament play. Nothing said above is meant to detract from the honor of Winston-Saleni’s victory. It was their first championship, and they earned it the hard way, certainly. Their victory ov er St. Augustine’s adds to rather than detracts from the glory of their final suc cess. In parsing it is w. rth noting tha three nf the four teams reaching the semi - finals were North Carolina teams. Tarheels dominated from beginning to end, placing four teams ■the arrogant and ruisehie vine, conduct of investiga tions into this and to at committees head d t>\ those immensely oppress ive self-appointed guar dians of Americanism, Senators .Tenner and Mr- Carthy, and of course.

The last three mentioned all came to Raleigh by way of St. Augustine's. known, the situation is grave, and calls for the most delicate handling. I’he western leaders at practically groping in the dark in dealing with a po tentially explosive situa tion in which nonetheless they must be firm, posi tive, and tough and must avoid the appearance of weakness. These are jittery days for the old planet. They are days which demand courage and firmness, but equally necessary are cool ness and calm judgment. It is hard to be cool and calm when things are hap- P nening to which the first reaction is bound to be indignation if not rage. Our leaders are under the severest test of their wis dom in times l'ike these. -j! j- - •*—.*<• 1- O. / tullt lii t ton ‘ SECOND THOUGHTS it is not often that i the vencraUk- and ..cii-knu-vn Dorothy Dix column. wikcn consist: largely of adviev in -- .ve; to i.-tt.-,-s -'ettiliri Jortil Uo VTectic or luinanti. .)n,bk-ii):: Hut Uic other din the head:up ct t-ic- column ca'iigiu rny t.-ye, -.oil i remi the pi-oukn; i>• ai 'Vi: j jj ,v ; i k*r. college this lail, Out ;..n n. arlbroJitii u v.■, n,. .xothef l-e-k ol intere-i in :t ; ; nt:; r< - Uien- i know it i-s-enliai to one .-, social io* U; b.
