extra white space that surrounded it, and idea began to form for Young.
Young had been an English major at the University of North Carolina and had
developed a great affinity for poetry. He was also a member of the mens basketball
squad that won the 1957 National title, so his affection for his alma mater ran deep.
He had been looking for ways to memorialize his late wife Pat, who also was a life-long
lover of words and poetry.
The idea just began to evolve, Young says. I thought what better way to honor
and remember Pat than to get poetry, particularly student poetry into the newspaper.
And the newspaper that came quickly to mind for Young was The Daily Tar Heel.
