' Coed Merle Stevens Leads University Debaters in Tour 'By Donald MacDonald Ending a tour that took them into the Deep South, the Univer sity 1 debating team returned to Chapel Hfll Saturday eager to revive student body interest in what once was Carolina's most important extra-curricula acti vity.. ' Led by Coed Merle Stevens, 1947 woman's national debate champion, a University debating quartet visited neighbor univer sities of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida and also demonstrat ed to North Georgia Military colleg hoW the Tar Heels can talk. Query which resulted in two wins for affirmatives, one win for negative, and one indecision was:- "Resolved: That a World Federal Government should be established." In the affirmative positions were Champion Stevens, a junior from Forest City who won her title last spring while at Mars Hill college; and Randall McLeod, of Maxton, member of the Dialectic Senate and of the debate cquncil. Negatives were Dick. Mottsman, ,seniqrf rom Hen dersonville; and Earl Fitzgerald, Reidsville junior who is presi dent of the debate council. On December 1, in Columbia, South Carolina, the team debated in the University of South Caro lina hall where John C. Calhoun and Thomas Pinckney debated in the early 1800's. Affirmatives Stevens and McLeod triumphed. In Dahlonega, Georgia, at North Georgia Military college the fol lowing night where affirmatives won again, the team was housed in the only available space the "contagious" ward of the college infirmary. At Athens on Wednes day the negatives won while Miss Stevens broke a Georgia tradition she became the first woman ever to speak in the Lit erary Society's hall, built in 1801. Georgia's team came solely from its lavV school as did' South Carolina's and Florida's the fol lowing night. At Gainesville the negatives did not debate and the affirma tives received a non-decision. The team found that three courses in debating are offered at Flori da and a degree is given in pub lic speaking. The debaters returned here by train Saturday night. Next sched uled debate will be with the Ox ford University team on January 6. Plans for Christmas Revelries Completed Plans have been completed for "Christmas.

Long's statement follows: "In this runoff election, the same is sues are at stake that were at stake in the last election. In the Student council race, the Student party is placing before the cam pus the one man who has proven his capability to do the job and do it correctly. Bill Mackie, through his long association with student government, has gained a concep tion of what the constitution means and the way that it should be interpreted, as few other peo ple have. In helping to write the constitution and later amending it he has shown time after time his ability and insight into constitu tional "questions. "The issue at stake is whether or not experience means anything on this campus. If it does the an swer is clear." Hooper's statement: "As a for mer member of both the Men's Honor council and the Student council, I can clear up the Student council issue in a few words. "Martin Carmichael was elect ed to the Men's Honor council by the members of the council itself with the approval of the president of the student body. He has shown his ability repeatedly in the many cases brought before the Men's council. "Martin Carmichael was sug gested as a potential candidate for this election by the chairman of the Men's Honor council. "Under the present judicial system, cases are appealed from the Men's council, to the Student council, yet at present' not one member of the Student council has previously served on the Men's council.

The big end's opponent will be a horse. The race is a result of a bel made between Art and Mar garet McGirt a bet that Art, on foot, could beat the horse, with Margaret astride, in a 50 yard sprint. The horse, a handsome pinto pony named "Little Miss Muf fei," is said to be in top condi tion al Margaret's home out on Hillsboro road, but Art believes that he won't have too much trouble winning, figuring that "It will lake the pony more lhan 50 yards lo gel a good starl."

Bourne of the local VA announced today, A VA ruling held that payment of G-. I. Bill education and train ing benefits may be made to student-veteran. regardless of grants made them under the Fulbright act. As a result, World War II vet erans qualifying for foreign study under both laws may receive ben efits allowed under the Fulbright act as supplemental to the bene fits under the G .1. Bill. However, applications for ' grants under the Fulbright act are not being received at present. Persons desiring information on the program may obtain it from the Division of International Ex change of Persons, Department of State, Washington, D. C. Under the G. I.

The VA will pay custom ary tuition charges and fees, and provide books and equipment. Veteran must arrange for pass ports, visas, transportation over seas, and admission to the institu tions. The Fulbright act provides for grants to American students for study abroad, or to foreign stu dents for study in this country. It authorizes the Department cf State to enter into agreements with foreign governments to use foreign currencies and credits, ac quired through sale of surplus property abroad, to defray costs of the program.
