There were two points of mo tivation, we understand. One was, curiously enough, the mat ter of democracy. ; The other, -not at all peculiar, was 'the liousing problem. . r; The question of aristocracy vs. democracy arose when the isolated community of Chapel Bill realized that the handful of fraternities in those days didn't -contribute toward democratic student mixing. So more fra iernities were encouraged, to dilute aristocracy and give us democracy. 7 Now we have democracy. The cx-aristocrats are making' a iood job at democratic politics, thereby justifying the adminis tration's early j 1920 encourage ment. CHAPEL HILL, N.

Ignorance results in many in stances among the younger of us from sheer indifference. Arid ear is a natural companion of ignorance, although fear is less common among persons of our age than among our elders. The same generalizations hold true in other sociological prob lems. In the fields of the fam- 1y, race, crime, general' pathol ogy in all of them we are gross ly ignorant, blundering along as west we can, fearful of changing our ways. To our department of sociol ogy goes much credit for its abiHty to stimulate student thought in problems sociological. -rth Carolina is a gold-mine state for explorers in the field of scial problems. .

Snatching up the' gauntlet for capitalism, V Professor E. J. Woodhouse yesterday volun teered to join Winthrop C. Dur fee in upholding during a de bate private property and pri vate profit against the sWf ,vf - MJ V Arnold Williams, Socialist, and James Wishart, communist sympathizer,-both instructors in the English department. Too many of these radical assumptions go unchallenged," quoth Woodhouse, professor of government; "I will be glad to see the air cleared." - Conferring late yesterday, Williams and Durfee agreed upon a revised and more definite query : Resolved, that socialism is the only hope for the Ameri can society. Sponsored by the Carolina Political Union, the de bate will occur Monday, May 15. Left-Wing Challenge Attracted by 'Durfee's New England " Republicanism, Wil liams and Wishart in a letter appearing in yesterday's ' Daily Tar Heel defied him to choose a cohort and defend the question : Resolved, that the elimination of capitalism is necessary to the naitn,oi modern society. "I am willing to defend any query specifying the issues of private property' and private profit," declared Woodhouse, Democratic ex-Virginia lawyer. He objected that the question as stated in the challenge to Dur fee was too broad to be effec tively debated. "Any question raising the is- sues of private property and private profit is acceptable to us," said Williams, member of the Socialist party. "We pro pose the debate as a means of presenting our viewpoint X6 the students, not in an attempt to spread propaganda or enlist re cruits for any radical organiza tion." The proposition of the debate was conceived by Wishart, ac cording to Williams. Though Wishart denied membership in any radical organization, he is expected to assail capitalism . from the stand of communism. "At its present stage, capital ism is an anachronism and d menace to society," was Wish art's statement of his position in the controversy. "Capitalists will never allow themselves to be reformed or voted out of existence." said Williams, presenting his belief that complete abolition of capi talism by force or threat of force is necessary to the welfare of -society. Old Guard Durfee, old guard party stal wart in the Phi Assembly, was singled out as 'a target by the challengers because of his agi tations in preparation to estab lishing on the campus a branch of the American Liberty League, described by Williams as "the stronghold of organized conser vatism." . The challenge was cast, Williams told the Daily Tar Heel, in the hope that the Democratic government profes sor would enter the lists in the cause of conservatism." Among the anti-capitalists, 1 Wishart is expected to present (Continued on page two) - i
