Negro Migration to North Shows Serious Aspects
Talk by Sociologist Reveals Conditions That Exist in Some Sections of Detroit
"The southern negro came to Detroit to better himself but he found the whole city against him," said Prof. D. C. Marsh, assistant professor in the department of sociology, in his talk on "Some Limitations on Assimilation of the Southern Negro in a Northern Urban Area," given before him.
fore the members of the Sociology club, Thursday evening, March 3, in Watson Library.
Professor Marsh gave the case history of a study which was made upon a Dr. O, Sweet, a highly educated and wildly traveled colored doctor. Upon his return from Europe, Doctor Sweet moved into a white area near the house and gathered from 50 to 1500, gathered around the house and began hurling missiles. It happened that during the riot one man was killed as a result of a stray bullet and those in the house were arrested and charged with first degree murder. The jury in the trial, composed of all seven jurors, hours but no decision was reached.
This episode leads to the appointment of an Inter-racial commission, headed by Rynold E. Burned, to investigate allegations of the whites and negroes in Detroit.
The commission appointed a nurse staff, which worked for eight week principally in the St. Antonie district commonly known as the black bottom
Immigration Changes Situation
This survey first opened up the history of the Negro, showing that a small number of immigrants known as the old Detroiters, once enjoyed many privileges, but that after the large influx of southern negroes, conditions changed. This inflow was due largely to economic and educational reasons but in pari for better safety, according to Professor Marsh.
Immigration Changes Situation
After this large influx Detroit tried to keep its Negroes in the area of St. Anthony, which resulted in highly conducive conditions. Conflict then arose.
Conflict in Press
The survey also found that the police and newspapers were a constant source of irritation. The newspapers gave different views upon incidents depending upon whether or not they involved whites or blacks. The Owl, a negro paper in Detroit, gave the Negro side of the situation while the whites give the white side, then presenting two entirely different aspects.
Thus it was, according to Professor Marsh, that the southern Negro came to Detroit to better himself but found the whole city against him. The old Detroiters hate the new Detroiters because it was through the new incomes that they lost their standing and became being brought about, for the white population is not helping the negro to better himself.

Dove Good Influence on University Campus, According to Macy
All Censorship Is Condemned by Literary Critic in Talk With Staff
John Macy, of New York City, who spoke in conversation March 2, met with the Dove staff yesterday afternoon and expressed himself as being utterly opposed to censorship of any kind.
With Staff
Mr. Macy maintains that censorship will not work. To illustrate his opinion he gave the example of the stage in New York. The more the
Mr. Mary said that it was impossible to suppress art of any kind by censorship. Just as the attempt to censor the stage results in a failure so will the attempt to censor literature.
stage is censored the more interest is created in it. That is the result of the fact that Mr. Mayy, it is impossible to crash out a thing by using it for cronose.
but a thing by submitting it to criticism only tends to raise interest in 'he thing you wish to crush.
A discussion was led by Mr. Macy on some of the contemporary writers, touching lightly upon the writings and ideas of Sinclair Levin, Theodore Driscoll, Sherwood Anderson, James Joyce, and T. S. Eliot. The statement was made by Mr. Macy that the purpose of literature was for art's sake only, and that there was very little sociological utility in literature. This statement caused a discussion since several members of the Dove staff disagreed over what to do with literature if affect the lives of 'be people to some extent.
Concerning the purpose of the Dove Mr. Macy seemed to think that a liberal journal, such as the Dove is, had a place on the campus and did have some influence among the students. The effect was that the articles printed in the Dove stirred up the minds of the students and made them want to read it. This probably not consider if they had not read the article. For this reason the Dove was valuable to the campus of the University, Mr. Macy said.

"Basketball for Men" to Be Offered Soon by Correspondence
Course Organized by Allen Will Give Two Hours Credit in University
"Basketball for Men," a course organized by Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics, is to be offered by correspondence through the bureau of study, according to Miss Harriet M. Stevenson secretary of the bureau.
The course will be given in sixteen assignments, for two hours of university credit, and is comparable to a similar course offered here at the University under the same name. "My Basketball Bible," written by Doctor Allen, will be used as the 'ext.
The greater part of the assignments will have to do with the theory and practice of basketball—the fundamentals of the game. Such subjects as training, conditioning and practicing, and the care of minor injuries, as well as the details of the rules of basketball, will be taken up officially.
"Men in teaching positions who need to know something about the technique of basketball coaching, men in other professions who desire a similar knowledge, and college students who have had their education are expected to enroll in the course," Miss Stevenson said. She added that there would probably also be a large number of enrollments from men who are not interested in basketball other than as a recursive friend, wishing to fully understand the game.
This course has been prepared as the result of a demand for correspondence courses in the principles of recreative sports. Other similar courses are being worked out by men's colleges and women's education department and should be ready soon. Some of them will include sports for women.
