Griffin Campbell Winner of Trophy In Debate Tourney By MARIAN RODGERS Griffin Campbell, senior from McBee and veteran member of the University Players, won the Adams trophy for address read ing at the Grand National Debate Tournament held in Fredericks burg, Va., April 2 to April 4. Campbell took second place in the national readings to win the Adams award, which is given every year for oratory. Approxi mately 50 contestants perticipated in the contests, representing 43 schools all over the nation. Each contestant was required to read four different times, the judges giving him the number of points they thought he deserved after each reading. These points were averaged to determine the win ners. Campbell, who was last seen in the role of King Creon in "Anti gone," accompanied the University Debaters and their coach, M. G. Christophersen, to the Grand Na tional Debates. The debate team failed to place in the finals, but has had a successful season thus far, wInning 24 out of the 80 de. bates In which it has'participated. Because of the good showing that the team has made this year and last year, a chapter of Phi Kappa Delta, national honorary forensic fraternity, will be install ed here this semester. The query for debates this year is "Resolved, that labor should have a direct share in the man agement of Industry." The uni versity squad is composed of James Simmons, Phillip Bernanke, Melton Kligman, Irene Krugman, John Lake, Cl'yde Dean, Ramon Sehwartz, Irene La Borde, and Richter Moore. Miss Krugman recently won first place in the woman's oratorical contest at the South Atlantic Conference. - The university team will take part in several other debates in the future, Professor Christoper Song-Fest Id Tonight Fest Scheduled SDrayton Hall Elections For Student Body To Be Monday Student Body President Fred Brogdon has announced that elec tions for student body officers, cheerleaders, and May Queen will be held on Monday.

Students Urged To Comply with Parking Rules By Pruitt "Students must be more ob serving of parking regulations around the university," stated Captain B. F. Pruitt of the Co lumbia Traffic Division at a re cent interview. The captain said that complaints come in continu ally from the residents of the streets adjacent to the campus with reference to parking on streets around the campus. The most frequent complaint, he said, is parking in driveways of pri vate homes. Several automobiles have been towed in by wrecker during the past few days for various viola tions. So many of the cars owned by students are not registered in Columbia and it is impossible to locate the owner and notify him to move his car so that the action taken by the Police Department is the only alternative. "It is not our desire to make cases against the students, but it has become necessary in sev eral instances and we would much rather have the cooperation of the students than to make cases against them," Captain Pruitt said. Student Council is working on the problem and attempting to find more parking spaces for cars. Until the problem can be allevi ated, students are urged to show full cooperation by abiding by the present parking regulations.
