Information has just been secured
by the N. A. A. C. P. of the action of
a number of white students in pro^te'st
against the attempted barring of
W* Nfcgrpr-sudents from the Teaphers ?ol,#
fege Men's Dinner to be hpld op 4U*

part of Columbia University.
The Men's Dinner is an annual events
Last year 1102 men were present at
the affair, according to the announce-v
ment and the same source of information
predicts that 130b Will be in attendance
this year, the number of
1 tickets being limited to that number.
The protest against the attemped
?barring of 'Negroes from the dinner |
was embodied in a notice posted on i
the bulletin board of International j
House j>^12 4 th ^ Street^dnd ^^ve^idej
staying. The protest reads:
"Word has come to the undersigned
white men studying at Teachers College
this"Surrtmer that unofficially the
committee in charge of the Men's
Dinner does not wish to have tickets
r sold to Negroes.
I These men (the undersigned) and
I doubtless- many others cannot with a
jtit-ai tunavicutc auunu a uiiiiiur wiuuil
is .conducted in an undemocratic and
, un-Christian fashion.
"These men request the committee"
to sell tickets to alt TeaChor{r~Cuttegtr
men who may wish to buy them and
allow brotherhood to prevail among
~ those who seek the truth."
This brave and fair stand by these
white students will, it is felt, affect
profoundly.sentiment at -Teachers College
and will result in the rescinding
of the order or tacit agreement to bar
Negro students from the dinner. '*

n
.""The/ nitoonih. Amendment," Mr.
Mills wrote, "is still part of the Constitution.
Section 2 of' the Fifteenth.Amendment
provides: "The Congress
shall have power to enforce this Article
by appropriate legislation."
"it would be interesting to know
what Senator Borah, who professes to ~
believe that full force and rll'ret should-_
lie given to every line of the Constitution,
has ev^ir done to see that Congress
lived upto the obligattion imposed
by section 2."
Referring to the'"eoman renl'power"
clause of the Eighteenth Amendment, :
Mr. Mills went on: 1
"On the one band, Senator Borah
has, by his silence and failure to introduce
the necessary legislation par licipateri
