The other coeds in the May court manipulated long pastel dresses, high heels, flowers, and the stone inclines "bordering the theatre with a skill that was nothing short of perfect balance. What For? The dances, of both Greek and Old English variety, brought comments of "What are they doing that for?" from the children in the large audi ence. , The traditional May Pole dance, performed by 26 Chapel Hill grade school girls, was better understood than the spiritual Greek dances.

Woodhouse Woodhouse, Ericson To Meet Tonight in Debate on War Fray Expected To Be Fiery r' What promises to be the most ex plosive debate of- the year will erupt on the rostrum of Gerrard hall at 8:30 tonight when two violently op posed campus professors take sides on vital war issues confronting United States legislators. . Dr. E. J. Woodhouse of the politi cal science department, strong advo cate of unlimited aid to Britain and immediate United States entry into the war, will clash with Dr. E. E Ericson of the English department. Ericson works with the American Peace Mobilization, follows same stand as isolationist Senators Burton K. Wheeler and Gerald P. Nye. America's stake in the war, the need and danger of immediate parti cipation, argued by two men firmly convinced of the truth of their re spective views, is expected to set off the spark that will send discussion flashing out to the audience and back again to the platform. An inkling of student opinion is an ticipated from the debate as no con census has been taken since the Car olina Political union poll on the Lease Lend bill last quarter. That poll showed students overwhelmingly m favor of all-out aid to Britain but a reluctance to participate in actual warfare. Once mayor of a small New Hamp shire township, Woodhouse now teaches special courses in political science, is affiliated with the CPU and the debate council. Ericson, long the subject of insinuations and ridicule from those opposing his extra-liberal stands, taught in a Chinese university for several years, is recognized as a local authority on international com plications.
