HELENA ISLAND Life Among Negro Colonists There Is Subject Of Sociology Professor's Talk To Y. M. C. A. Groups Last Night. (By Charles Rose) T. J. Woofter, Jr., of the soci ology department spoke last night to a joint meeting of the sophomore and junior-senior cabinets. His talk was based on a study that, he had made on the conditions of a negro colony of St. Helena Island, a small island just off the coast of South Caro lina. ' Mr. Woofter, after being introduced by J. E. Dungan, president of the sophomore Y cabinet, began by saying that this study helps to show what the "negro is capable of doing when left to himself. Giv ing a short history of the island, he told how it had been inhabit ed by large plantation , owners who were driven away by the northern army at the opening of the Civil War, how the slaves of these owners had been left to till the soil, and howthe north had . taken thern over and had put supervisors over them. "Today," continued the speaker, "this island is inhabited by some 5000 negroes and about 50 white people. All of this num ber are land owners and make their living from the soil." He went on to say that there are a few old African traits still evident among these people. "Their ' dialect, however," said Mr. Woofter, "is nearly all Eng lish in origin, while their spir ituals seem .to be left over from a revival wave that swept over the country some time ago." The speaker stated further that there is no crime on the island to amount to anything, and what little there is is taken care of by a magistrate. This magistrate is helped by a gov erning body known as the Praise House. This Praise House is a group that meets twice a week and usually disposes of disor ders, if any such exist. The program for the freshman cabinet was taken up with a dis cussion of the plans for having better programs; many sugges tions were made. President Ker f ees announced a few of the com mittees that had been appointed. After a short discussion, the pro gram was brought to a close by sentence prayers. Royall To Speak Here Kenneth C.

ENGINEER DANCE WILL BE STAGED ON FEBRUARY 28 Committee Selected To Give Winter Dance ; To Be Spon sored By Local Societies. FOURTH ANNUAL AFFAIR At a meeting of all students in the school of engineering held yesterday during chapel period it was decided that the engi neers' dance this year will be given on the evening of Friday, February 28. A committee com posed of three members from each of the engineering societies will make further arrangements for the dance and report its progress at a similar meeting to be held at a later date. The committee consists of C. H. West, J. P. Scurlock and "Chuck" Erickson, representing the William Cain Society ; E. R. Davis, D. A. Nims and W. B. White from the A. I. E. E. and J. B. Pittana of the mechanical engineering society. This will be the fourth of the annual dances to be given by the members of the school of engi neering. As in the past, this dance will be sponsored by the local student branches of the national engineering societies; At this meeting it was also decided that no action would be taken until the spring quarter on the question of holding an open house in the school of en gineering? Two-years a&o the engineers held open house, throwing open to the observation of the public all the apparatus in the engineering school. Check Committee Reports Decrease In Bad Checks In a recent report to the dean of students, the student council check committee stated that a total of 637 student checks had been returned to Chapel Hill merchants and business people since the opening of school in September. This number of checks represented an amount of $4,276.07. The number of individuals involved was 292, or approximately 11.26 per cent of the student body. This is com pared with the same length of time during the term 1927-28, which showed 773 checks amounting to $6,211.11, and which comprised from 10 to 15 per cent of the student body. The statistics for the term 1928-29 are not available for comparison. The check committee has been attempting to cooperate with the merchants of Chapel Hill in eliminating - the commercial nuisance this year. In a letter of inquiry sent out to 50 (busi ness men this fall, it was found that 31 reported no losses, 11 reported losses ranging from three of four hundred dollars, and 8 failed, to respond. The total accumulated loss reported from these eleven businesses was $622.18. There is some possi bility of clearing up part of this present reported loss, it is said. In addition to the above, the committee has recommended the use of a blank counter check which should be usable in this locality. This check carries blanks for the names of the towns, the drawee banks, date drawn, registration number, and local address of the student. Fully 75 per cent of the checks returned this year have been so PLAYMAKERS TO GIVE "SHOW-OFF" HERE ITHIS WEEK Kelly's. Comedy Will Be Pre sented Thursday, Friday And Saturday Nights. SEASON'S 3rd PRODUCTION The Carolina Playmakers will present George Kelly's three-act American comedy "The Show Off" Thursday, Friday and Sat urday evenings at 8:30 in the Playmaker theatre. "The Show, Off" is the third production of the season for the Playmakers. In 1925 the Playmakers pro duced Kelly's comedy "The Torch Bearers" with great suc cess.

Fox; Joe, Whitner Bissell; Aubrey Piper, Richmond P. Bond ; Mr. Gill, Descum B. Roberts; Mr. Rogers, George E. Stone. Community Club There will be a very impor tant call meeting of the Com munity club Friday afternoon, January 31, at the Episcopal parish house. There will be im portant matters taken up at the meeting. on account of mechanical errors on the part of the drawers in changing the name of banks. The advantage of the present system of handling the returned checks is that it is not harsh on first offenders, but grows more stringent with the number of checks returned and the more evident carelessness of the of fender. If a check is returned for reasons within the control of the student, he is placed on pro bation, with notice that a sec ond offense will suspend him from school, with right of appeal to the student council. If the check is returned for other rea sons than the student's fault, he is exonerated, and no blemish is placed against his record as a purely mechanical system would j impose. Under the system this year, when an appeal is taken to the student council, it is to the entire council in regular session, rather than to one member of the council, as was done last year. All students who have checks returned must report to the check committee after they have paid the checks. Failure to re port causes automatic probation and possible suspension. The names of the students: whose checks are returned are placed on the check list of the commit tee and are removed only upon the production of the returned check. Season Tickets Dean Hibbard announces that a few more tickets are left for the student Enter tainment Program. They will be sold at reduced prices.

UNIVERSITY GLEE CLUB DRAWS FIRST AND LAST PLACES Local Musical Contingent Draws Favorable Positions For Southern Meet. The drawing for places, to as certain the order in which vari ous glee clubs are to appear in the southern intercollegiate glee club contest, was held here Sun day afternoon at the Carolina Inn. Those participating in the drawing were Max Noah, presi dent of the glee club association ; J. Foster Barnes, secretary,' and H. S. Dyer, serving as president of the executive committee. Troxell Reynolds, president of the local glee club, and Gilles Brown, were present, represent ing the Carolina group. The double' number-name sys tem of drawing, used officially throughout the country, was em ployed. Three separate drawings were held, one for each part of the contest. In the drawing for the choice song group, in which each club sings a selection of its own choice, the order came out as follows: University of North Carolina, Erskine College, Wof f ord College, Furman Univer sity and Guilford College. The order of the second group, in which each club sings the same "prize" song, is: Woffard Col lege, Furman University, Guil ford College, University of North Carolina and Erskine University. The final drawing, for the group in which each club sings its school alma mater, re sulted in the order: Guilford College, Woffard College, Fur man University, Erskine and University of North Carolina. Thus, the Carolina glee club by chance has been chosen to appear first as well as last on the contest program. It was the general feeling among directors, however, that the drawing will mean very little to the partici pants, having been a mere for mality made necessary by the contest ruling. The contest , will be held in Greenville February 7. Dorm Stores To Be Aired In Di Senate The regular weekly meeting of the Dialectic Senate will be held tonight in New West build ing.
