Debaters Take Six Firsts In Tough National Debates By Tinsley Campbell Meeting possibly the strongest competition amassed this year at a speaking contesty tiie ITnlversiiy Debate squad fought its :way through the illustrious verbal battle known as the Grand National Forensic tournament and did not emerge until it had grabbed top honors in six debates and second place 1 " in one other speech event. Although local delegates elevated themselves to the finals in seven in dividual speaking categories, they were unable to cop a top berth. De bate council President Maurice Bras well attributed this, to the excellent calibre of participants present at the Fredericksburg, Va., affair. Braswell described the notable meet as "a well run tourney which represented a clus ter of the nation's most ambitious youth." Brogden Takes Second Carolina's E. O. Brogden took sec ond place in the informative speaking event with a talk on "American Ef forts To Democratize Japan."

Third Candidate Will Enter Race As Independent By Sam Whitehall Johnny Clampitt, fireball chairman of the Elections com mittee of the Student legislature, announced last night that he will run as an independent candidate for president of the student body in the spring elections. In a. statement to the Daily Tar Heel last night Clampitt stated that he reached his decision following a student petition submitted to him ask ing that he consider running as an independent candidate. Fact-Fin ding Group Clampitt, a junior from St. Peters burg, Fla., was elected to the Student legislature in the fall elections and since that time has taken an active part in its functions, serving as chair man of the Elections committee. He is now chairman of the Fact-Finding committee, appointed to investigate facts pertinent to campus questions and difficulties. He was appointed chairman of the Student legislature committee that in vestigated the advisability of the Uni versity participating in and becom ing a member of the National Student organization. Prior to his entering the University he attended St. Peters burg Junior college and served with the army for almost four years. Triangular Twist The race for the student body presi dency has taken a triangular twist with Clampitt's announcement of his candidacy. The University party an nounced last week that they will sup port BiH Miller for the post, while Tom Eller has obtained the backing of the Campus and Student parties. Po litical onlookers have stated that the fight for the presidency would be quite colorful even if two of the can didates, Clampitt and Miller, did not have red hair. Clampitt, a staunch advocate of "the man rather than the party," severed his relations with the Student party, of which he was a member, when a faction of the party broke away and formed the Campus party several weeks ago. He gave his reason for breaking all party affiliation as a non believer in "the party for party sake." Full Statement . The following is a full statement made by Clampitt: "Several reasons could be given for my entering the presidential race. First, I was asked if I would; second, I would like to be in a position to be the student repre sentative to the faculty in order to present the student sides to all con troversies; third, I would like to see a complete orientation of the students and faculty on the Honor code and Campus code, and student government. These are just a few of the reasons why I decided to run." Sociology Prizes Are Offered Here Sociology majors writing papers this year will be offered three awards of $25 each. One prize will be given to an undergraduate coed by Chi Omega, and the other two will be sponsored for a graduate and an undergraduate by Kappa Delta, local chapter of the national honorary so ciological fraternity.
