It is such a pity that the story on Page 4B of your March 13 paper ("13 in Triangle win UNC grant") could not have been substituted for the front page headline "One man held, another at large in Carson case."

I can think of no better tribute to the memory of Eve Carson than the prominent recognition of these wonderful, brilliant students who will become her successors and leaders in the academic and social life at UNC.

Congratulations to each of them for setting such a fine example for all of our youth. May they enjoy the success in their lives that was denied to Eve.
