Negro Quartet To
Sing In Memorial "
'Hall Monday Night
A program of the best known
negro spirituals and melodies
will be given in Memorial Hall,
Monday night, 8 :30, by a quar
tet from Hampton Institute,
Virginia. The singers are wide
ly recognized as the most out
standing among negro quartets
in the South. They make fre
quent tours to many points in
the whole country. .
The concert will complete the
general program of the Human
Relations Institute being held
under the auspices of the Y. M.
C. A. v There will be no admis
sion charges.
The University of North Car
olina track team will open its
1927 season on Saturday after
noon, with a meet with the Duke
University team on Hanes field.
The prospects now for Carolina
are not as bright as they were
laa year, and a battle royal is
expected.
Such former stars as Captain
Charlie Jonas, Watt, Fordham,
and Newcombe are gone. These
four men netted close to 25
points between them in every
dual meet last season. The main
hopes for points this year are
in such stars as Captain Gus
McPherson, Giersch, Pearson,
Rhinehart, Elliott, Daniels, and
Williams.
AtDuke we find some of the
mos$ promising matejrial they
have had in years. Woodward
has developed into one of the
fastest distance men in' the
state. In a class meet held at
Duke he not only ran on the half,
one and two mile runs, but set
up a new record on all three.
Candler and Doxie will also run
in the distance. Ervin is their
fastest man in the sprints. Bru
ton is a close second. Ervin,
Bruton, Ross, Hamlin, and Mill
er run the hurdles, while Brant
ley is expected to do the honors
in the pole vault and the broad
jump. Captain Beverley is one
of the best high jumpers seen at
this institution in years. Ben
nett in the javelin and Kirk
patrick, Kelly and Jones with
the weights, round out the for
midable array of material.
The men who will make the
trip for Carolina have not been

ECONOMIC RESUME
OF ALLIED DEBTS
Dean of Wharton Commerce
School Explains the Intricate
Legal Phases of Internation
al Obligations.
"My greatest concern on the
problem of International Debts
is' in connection with the fact
that the payments must come
from reduced wages and of the
laboring classes in the debtor
countries, and because the debts
will be the burdens of the or
dinary common population,"
stated Dr. ,E. M. 'Patterson of
the Wharton School of Finance
and Commerce, University of
Pennsylvania, in his address on
the general subject of "Inter
national Debts,", in Memorial
Hall Tuesday evening. ;
There are three sets of obli
gations involved in the debt
question: (1) The reparation
claims growing out of the war
which the Allies made on Ger
many; (2) obligations between
various European governments;
(3)" debts due the United States
by European , Countries, which
are thirteen in number. The
United States contention that
each of these is a distinct unit is

"Americans have inherited an
attitude toward China that is
not justified," Arthur Rugh,
Foreign National Secretary of
the Y. M. C. A., declared in c.hap-
el yesterady morning. "We be
lieve that the nation is lying
dormant, as it has been for hun
dreds of years. It is not static
now, however. It is going some
where fast where, nobody
knows. . One fourth of the hu
man race has broken loose."
An alliance of Russia, China,
Turkey, India, Persia, and prob
ably Japan is brewing. Russia
is taking charge of the orient.
Mr. Rugh, who has been in
China 21 years, and returned to
this country only recently, read
a list of questions and the an
swers made to them by Chinese
students. Some of them follow:
"-Is Russia China's best
friend?" Ten answered yes and
28 no.' Mr. Rugh said that men
familiar with the present situ
ation have stated that most of
the answers now would be yes.
"Will communism solve the eco
nomic problems of the world?"
38 answered yes and 10 no. "Is
communism more effective than
religion in character building?"
26 answered yes and 12 no. "Are
the Chinese more intelligent
than other peoples of the
world?" 31 answered yes and 10
no.
" Trampled!
"The foreiem powers have
been trampling all over China,
taking what they want," Mr.
Rough said. "Now a new spirit
of nationalism has arisen. " The
Chinese have confidence in their
army, and they have learned the
effectiveness of boycotts and
strikes against foreign coun
tries.".. . -:V '-'
