Johnson Lures
Into Band With
Off Beat," With Pedigree,

Member Of Orchestra
By BILL RHODES WEAVER
"Off Beat" has a storv all his
own.
'Twas a dark and chilly night, to
mimic Aesop, a few days before Christ
mas, and all were feeling merry, and
Freddy Johnson, leader of one of the
most popular campus bands, was down
town getting ready to go home for the
holidays .
Snuggled close to the warm store
front of a cleaning establishment was
a bedraggled,-lean pooch.
Freddie stooped and patted and
soothed the lonely animaL "Say,
boy," he said cheerily, "How'd you
like some hamburger?" The dog's
sad eyes looked up. Standing, the dog
wagged his tail and trotted beside
Freddie as he brought the meat, which
was gobbled up quickly.
REST OF STORY
The rest of the story is Freddie's.
He took the dog, washed him, kept
him by a warm radiator; and the street
waif had a master. Later, Freddie
was told that the dog had a master

)f .Chase
Chancellor Of NYU
Is Main Speaker
For University Day
"The United States will inevitably
become the leading power on earth,
but the present war, if it continues
for a long period, will result in a Europe
crippled economically and an America
distressed economically," predicted
Dr. Harry TiToodburn Chase, Chancel
lor of New York university, as he
yesterday addressed the University he
served for 11 years as its president.
Dr. Chase's address was the main
event of the University Day program
commemorating the 146th anniversary
of the laying of the cornerstone of the
oldest state university building in the
country. A drizzling ram caused the
cancellation of the traditional Aca
demic march from South building to
Memorial hall and resulted in a small
er attendance than was expected, but
the sizeable audience that attended
gave Dr. Chase an enthusiastic home
coming welcome.
COMPARISON
Comparing world conditions, at the
time he accepted the presidency of the
University, to current world conditions,
Dr. Chase said: "No temporary war
boom can offset the longe-range in
juries done to our economic structure.
That we must face with all our in
genuity and resourcefulness."
Summing up what might be called
the "results" of the last war, and re
garding the different definitions of
the word "democracy," he said: "The
ast war did not change this way of
lying. Russia has excnangea one
orm of despotism ""for another. We
said harsh things about. the Germany
of the Kaiser, but it was at least a
civilized nation, which Nazi Germany
is not. The war will not of itself ad
vance the cause of democracy. You
cannot impose democracy on people by
force of arms."
DRAMATIC HISTORY
Speaking of the University, "No
institution in America has had a more
dramatic history," he asserted. "The
men it has send back into its life, the
quality of their citizenship, their lead-
r ship, their devotion to the common
good, their share in the remaking of
the commonwealth through popular
education these things and a hun
dred more are written in the state in
words more vigorous applause than
words more enduring than bronze."
The asembly responded with vigor
ous applause when Dr. Frank Graham,
who introduced Chase, said : "You have
more friends to the square foot in
Chapel Hill than you have to the cu
bic mile in the great city of New York.
We hope you won't consider it an act
of inhospitality," continued Dr. Gra
ham, "if Carolina slips over a touch
