Losing Bill Leahy after
barely a minute had elapsed
probably was q blessing in dis
guise for Catholic University
last night.
Il meant that Charlie Boylan
had to play almost the entire
remainder Of the game, and
Boylan responded by helping
greatly as Gu defeated Mount
st. Mary's, 8l-64, for the first
time in three years.
A packed house Of about 5000
fans at Gu was stirred to an
1iproar with only I'LL gone.
Referee Marty Crbbins called
q foul on Leahy, generally one
of GUS stars. When Leahy
tried to discuss the call, Crib
bins added a technical foul.
Leahy wanted to talk about
that, too, but Cribbins threw
him out of the game. -
Boylan, who broke his right
wrist in GUS second game o:
the season, then got the nod
from Coach Tom Young. Boy
Ian had returned to action
earlier this week but played
only about three minutes
against Baltimore University.
Lacking Leahy's reboundine

acted with unity. Gene Koran

Daily Legislative Coverage
Starts At Customary Level

Coverage Of the legislature by the daily press
started last week on its customary level.
The st. Paul PIONEER PRESS loaded its re-
port on the opening of the senate with heavy sar-
casm designed to make the Liberals look foolish.
What 1t did was to make the Pioneer PRESS look
foolish
The report was on the demand of the Liberals
to be consulted on committee appointments, and to
be represented on the committees In proportion to
their strength in the senate-a reasonable demand
that Is, however honored by the Conservative
dominated senate.
The Pioneer PRESS report endeavored to make
1t appear that Senator Thuet, voicing the de-
mand for the Liberals did not know what he was
talking about 1t suggested that If he would wait to
see the committee appointments he would have nc
ground for protest. How the reporter knew things
about these appointments which members Of the
Senate did not might make an interesting study in
itself. But now the appointments are out, and we
can check the insinuatons of the Pioneer PRESS
against the fact
The fact is that there were AL committee ap-
pointments. On the basis Of its relative strength In
the Senate, the Liberal group would have been
given 151 Of these. Instead, they received 1915
short. Moreover, they were not consulted on the
appointments.
This is nothing new Of course. In fact the
Conservatives this year have probably been more
fair in their treatment Of the opposition than in

VIEWS & OPINIONS
THE WORLD OVER
EMANCIPATION CENTENNIAL


Historians who like to bubble
can easily show that the Fourth of
July is the wrong date for cele-
brating the Declaration of Inde4
pendence Independence was de-
clared on July 2, 1776). So like
wise, historical spoil-sports can
make light of today's centennial of
President Lincoln's emancipation
proclamation.
They can point out that slavery
was not actually abolished on
national basis before the adoption
of the Thirteenth Amendement
(Which took place in 1865, two
years later.
But the popular reading of his
tory brushes aside such cavils,
just as it clings to the Fourth of
July as the birthday of independ-
ence. Mankind needs symbols to
live by, and once established a
symbol can have more reality than
mere fact. Historians to the con-
trary, the emancipation proclama-
ton freed the slaves and so is
one of the turning points Of our
history.-Baltimore SUN.
Now, 100 years later, emancipa-
ton continues. There are no longer
slaves in a legal sense. But there
are men and women In this nation
where equality is proclaimed who
still suffer discrimination because
of their color. This anniversary of
a noble act of government is a
good time to resolve that Lin
coins full aim must be attained
with all possible speed.-Milwau-
kee JOURNAL.

have two different dictionaries,
viz Webster's New Collegiate Die
tionary, copyright 1858, based on
Webster's New International Die
tionary, second edition; and Web
ster's New World Dictionary Of the
American Language, College Edi-
ton, copyright 1860, based upon
and including material from Web
ster's New World Dictionary, En-
cyclopedic Edition.
In the former dictionary pick
aninny is defined as: "a small
child; - applied in the United
States to a colored child" In the
latter dictionary pickaninny is de-
fined as: "a Negro baby or child:
a patronizing or contemptuous
term"
From the nature Of these defini-
tons it seems quite clear that pub
lie usage Of the appellation in con-
versation is to be avoided, except
in proper circumstances, in order
not to offend or hurt people In
general. I doubt If most white par
ents would like to have their small
children called little "ofays" in
public.
Discussion and study Of word
usage is interesting and enlighten-
ing, but the open public use of
seemingly or really derogatory
terms in conversation, or in sour
rilous print, can only create con-
fused and sometimes outright bad

assume that one had to get message to the other
by word of mouth; then would each silently
figure out plausible, or at least possible, chain

to the headman Of his village, who would speak to
the trader who came to buy copra, who would speak
to the Australian patrol officer when he came
through who would tell the who was next
slated to go to Melbourne on leave, etc. Down at
the other end the cobbler would hear from his priest
who got it from a state senator, who got 1t from
the governor, ETC. We soon had these close-to-home
messengers down to a routine for almost everybody
