Johnston, of the Uni versity department of sociology, spoke at a joint meeting of the Y cabinets Monday night on the subject of "The Negro." After being introduced by the presi dent of the sophomore cabinet, who read a poem, "The Sword of Lee," Mr. Johnston began by saying, "The way this country treats the Negro is due to the in feriority of that race." Continuing, the speaker stated that the Negro was in slavery for some 200 years or more, while he has only been free for 65 years. "For this reason the Negro has a right to be a little backward," said Mr. Johnston, "but according to statistics the Negro race has made decided r. progress Mr. Johnston continued by saying that it is believed that the Southern dialect was originated by the Negro. "This, however, is wrong, oecause n xms speecn is traced far enough back, it will be seen that it started with the old English," declared the speak er. He also stated that many of the Negro superstitions came from the white race The speaker was very hopeful as to the outcome of the Negro in'the future. '"The Negro will make something out of himself, when he has something to look forward to," he said. "The traits of backwardness of the Negro are due -largely to what he has been told and has believed" Mr. Johnston closed by say ing, "The white race should learn more about the colored race, not only for the good of the negro, but also for the good of the white race itself."

Holmes Davis. Jr.) . . - Plans are being made for pos sibly the most brilliant set of dances that have ever been giv en at the University. Guy Lom bardo and his Royal Canadians liave been practically engaged to. play for. this set. This, will be Lombardo's first appearance in North Carolina. He is at the present time en gaged at the Pennsylvania hotel in New York City, and often broadcasts over the radio from there. His orchestra is con nected with the Music Corpora tion of America. Lombardo's music is quite different from the ordinary jazz band in the music of today. - Pep is not at all lacking from this famous bunch of musicians but it is combined with a gentle rhythm which displaces that tendency for more noise and less harmony. - Contracts ,r- have not been signed, German club officials state, but negotiations have been made to the extent that a writ ten agreement is the only thing that is lacking.
