Miss Dobbs Speaks at “Y”
Meeting
The “Y” members were glad to wel
come as their guest speaker at the open
ing meeting of the New Year, Miss
Millie Dobbs, Class of ’33, of Spelman,
who is a member of the faculty at the
Booker T. Washington Higli School in
Atlanta. Miss Dobbs chose as her sub
ject, “The Challenge to Womanhood.”
The subject was a most interesting one
to the members of the “Y” and each
one present received valuable thoughts
from the talk.
We hope that Miss Dobbs will not
stay away too long. We need more such
speeches.
Emory University Group at
Spelman
The Spelman College “Y” members
enjoyed a Fellowship Meeting with the
Emory University Missionary Group
and Morehouse College Y.M.C.A. at
which the Emory Group presented a
most delightful program in Morgan
Hall, of Spelman College, January 24,
1937. After the devotional exercises,
conducted by Mr. W. K. Smith, the
leader of the group and a native of
Brazil, Mr. Smith introduced Dr. Carr,
a former Missionary to Brazil, who is
now Professor of Missions at Emory
University. Dr. Carr gave an address
on “The Racial Situation in Brazil” and
told numerous things of interest, some
of which were these: he said that there
is no social division in Brazil; there is
no separation in the schools, and every
one there may go as high as he is
mentally able. Although there is some
prejudice against Negroes holding po
litical ofTices, there is no law to prohibit
it. Negroes have achieved much in lit
erature and art in Brazil, and are on
the road t<> greater heights. There is
no law against intermarriage. He de
scribed many of the families that one
would see in Brazil — Negroes, whites
and Indians mixed in all possible com
binations. If this situation continues,
there will be a complete amalgamation
of the races into one race.
One <>f the things that the Brazilian
people are proud of is the fact that
they abolished slavery in 1889 without
war. That is more than the United
States can say.
Immediately following the peciai
song sung by Mr. Paul Bankston, Mr.
AY. K. Smith talked on the subject “The
Church and the Race Problem in the
South.” Mr. Smith said that because
he was born in Brazil and knew practi
cally nothing about race prejudice, he
felt fpiite at home with Negroes. Tlis
opening remark was that “We are fac
ing this terrible situation of prejudice
frankly. It is our problem to solve and
we must solve it.”
After visiting a number of the dif
ferent churches here in Atlanta, Mr.
Smith feels that a New Day is dawning
for the South, because, he said, the
church has done many things for the
cause of humanity and will continue its
work.

“The Enemy” Scores a Hit
Mexico Hembre
The University players presented
Channing Pollock’s “The Enemy” as its
second production of the season on Fri
day and Saturday evenings, January 15
and 1(3 under the direction of Professor
John M. Ross.
The play was very well done and well
received. First of all, the plot of the
play is one concerning a topic of vital
interest today—war. Hearing contin
uously the cry “Peace! Peace!” the ap
preciative audience was receptive and
in sympathy with every emotion that
swept from each actor across the foot
lights. I’lie play concerned itself in
herently with a more or less typical
family in war-torn Austria. A member
of the family gives his life to the cause
and a neighbor returns with a deranged
mind, while a British friend comes back
unhurt. The economic and social ele
ment is subtly presented.
The action of the entire play was fast-
moving and the recognition and por
trayal of each character was all that the
most fastidious could ask of an amateur
group.
The set for the play, constructed un
der the direction of Eugene Grigsby,
was one of the most effective seen in
our Little Theatre. He and his crew
along with the crew on lighting are to
he complimented for the commendable
work.
1 ouches of realism were added by such
devices as martial music, the even
thump-thump of marching soldiers and
scenes showing the effects of gross in
flation of money values.
