Miss Frances Stewart, sister of Reb ert Stewart of Carolina was awarded first place. Miss Elizabeth Johnson was first negative, Miss Aletha Bouk night, second affirmative and Miss Beatrice Edens, second negative. It is very unusual that both the af firmative and negative teams of the same school chould meet in the finals and it is still more infrequent that all the debators are young ladies. The query was: "Resolved, That South Carolina should adopt the coun ty unit system of school administra tion." The winning team receives the trophy awarded by former Governor Richard I. Manning. Each of the mem bers of the winning teams will receive individual medals. Both of Easley's teams won in the semi-finals held Wednesday night. The subject was handled in masterful style and the rebuttal of the young ladies was excellent.

Perhaps no group of high school pupils that has ever attended the Uni versity during High School Week are as impressive from the view point of the studdents at Carolina as are those now here. Every high school student visiting here this week is of apparently strong physical build. This is very easily ac counted for by those who are taking their meals at Stewards Hall. No meal time comes unless the line is full, part ly of Carolina studednts, and for the greatest part, our visitors. We find all of them taking a deep interest in the games that have been played on Davis Field since their ar rival on the campus. Those who could not attend the games would unhesi tatingly ask some other pupil of Caro lina student who won, the score, and a list of questions which revealed to those University students who over heard the conversation that these high school boys and girls have the right spirit towards the school that we hope they will all attend next year. Around the tennis courts we find the girls sit ting on the ground talking to the Carolina students-college spirit of a dlifferent kind.

The preliminaries for the High School track meet wre successfully run off Thursday afternoon and every thing is in readiness for the final races today. From the marks turned in, it would seem that there is a great deal of good material present this year. Although most of the runners were not push ed they scored some excellent marks. Two state records were shatttered in the field events. Justus, of Pickens, shoved the discus 169 feet, 11 inches, bettering Red Adams' record by two feet. Tom McGill, Rock Hill, seemed to have the idea that the shot was a tennis ball and slung it 45.5 feet for another good record. In the 100 yard dash, Hogrefe, An derson, and Patterson, Fort Mill, tied the record 10 2-5 seconds. Patterson tied the same last year and holds the title along with about seven more. Doggett, Columbia, made the half mile in the best time, 2 minutes, 12 1-2 seconds and Boineau, from the same town hooked first in the low hurdles with 15 3-5 seconds. Duvall, Cheraw, sped the 440 yard dash in 54 3-5 seconds for the best time in the event. The javelin, some thing new to the state meets, was shoved 139 feet 11 inches by CoIn of Chester. There were several pole vaulters who faltered at the mark of 9 feet 6 inches Jeaving this to be de cided in the finals. Speculation, although uncertain, is rampant as to the possibilities of the various schools of taking the big prize, the state cup. Some of the teams that have shown up well in the preparatory races are: Pickens, Columbia, Fort Mill, Anderson, Liberty and Cheraw.

It was originally intended to pro cure a Post Office sub-station for the University, but as the Postal regula tions prohibit the placing of such a station within certain restricted zones the Contract Branch was the best that could be secured.
