Verbal In Carc By JANEAN MANN Staff Writer Oratorical v o 11 e y s resounded through the Carolina community last weekend as debators from 43 colleges and universities engaged in eight rounds of verbal fencing. All three USC debate teams qualified for the finals in this an nual Carolina Forensics meeting, but withdrew because they served as host school. The team of Marty Price and Gordon Seters went undefeated, while John Wertz and Mac Coble chalked up seven wins against one loes. Fresh men Bob and Tom Salane, debating in the varsity division, won five rounds and lost three. Varsity debator Price was over all individual winner, compiling 214 points, 10 over his nearest opponent. In the novice division USC's four-man team won ten rounds while losing two. Although these verbal battlea are the highlight of a debator's career, they arte actually only the results of New Funds Presented Engineers National Science Foundation has granted the USC Department of Mechanical Engineering $5,600 for an "Undergraduate Research Par ticipation Program." According to Dr. E. C. Wood ward, Jr., head of the USC De partment of Mechanical Engineer ing and director of the program, the grant just received from NSF will support research from June, 1966 through May, 1967. Since June of 1961, NSF has provided a total of $25,000 for undergraduate research programs of this type in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Students majoring in mechanical engineering are selected to par ticipate in the program which pres ently involves the application of chemical kinetics to the description of combustion phenomena. Current participants and proj ects are Wayne Witt, senior, "p r o b l e m involving submerged combustion"; Ned Gwin, senior, "quenching distance of flames"; and Howard Eisenstein, junior, "plasma engine." The researchers work on their problem six hours a week during the academic year and full time for 10 weeks during the summer. Board Of Tru Contributions In a resolution, the Board of Trustees of the University has praised New York landscape archi tect Richard K. Webel for his contributions to the "planning de velopment and orderly growth of the University (luring this period of rapid expansion." A member of the Innocenti andl Webel firm at Roslyn, N. Y., Webel has been the University's landscape consultant for 10 years. The resolution says the "inter nationally distinguished landscape architect" has "played a major Did You 1h MA MEN'S Has 4 TR ADLI Complete Line of: CLIPPER CRAFT S INTER WOi H.I PIPING ROCK AFTER MAX 1426 MAI Volleys ina Fo extensive research and continual practice by debate team members. During the debate season, which runs from September through May, USC orators participate in some 250 to 300 debates and vie in from 28 to 40 tournaments. Research on the annual debate topic begins after a vote of debate coaches throughout the nation de cides the topic. This year's sub ject is "Should Law Enforcement Agencies of the United States be Given Greater Freedom in the In vestigation and Prosecution of Crime." Although some schools rely on professional researchers to compile information on the topic, the Uni versity debaters collect their own source material, thereby gaining a more thorough understanding of the topic. Each meniber of the USC team must debate at least once a week during the school year. When not in competition Carolina's polemicists wage debates among themselves. After much study and practice the debator is ready to face his opponent. The USC varsity word-tossers must be prepared to take both the affirmative and the negative side of an issue. A tournament usually consists of eight rounds of debates, four in which the team takes the affirmative position and four in which it defends the negative stand. Since 1946 when debating first came to the Carolina campus, de bate teams under the guidance of Prof. Merrill Christophersen have been winning championships. In 1946, 1949, and 1952 the teams placed first in the nation.

Universit Counseli By MIMI WILKINSON Staff Writer For the first time this year all Carolina students have the oppor tunity to take advantage of free professional counseling service. Directed by Dr. Paul Stanton, the University Counseling Bureau also has Don Swanson and five graduate students on the staff. Stanton says, "Our services are being used by a number of stu dents. We think this is a very worth-while project. If the students feel that we can be of service, our facilities are available." Previously the School of Elucation offered counseling services for edu cation students. Now all students are urged to take advantage of the Uni versity Counseling Service located in the Administrative Annex, Room 106. A pamphlet put out by the Bureau says that counseling is a process in which the student comes to the counselor to gain in self understanding so that he may solve his own problems as they arise now and in the future. The counselors do not attempt to force decisions and always keep all information disclosed in counseling sessions confidential. Counseling is available for stu dents with personal, vocational, or educational problenLs. Most inter views last an hour with further sessions scheduled if needed. Many kinds of tests and inventories are available to help the student under stand himself better and to aid the counselor in diagnosing his problems more adequately.

Slater Coc Holds Var By LINDA JO MANGUM Staff Writer The most unpopular job on cam pus could be that of Miss Judy Wagstaff, student coordinator for ARA Slater Food Service. Her duties range from listening to student complaints to decorat ing the cafeteria for the holidays. Most of Miss Wagstaff's working hours are spent on the floors of the three main cafeterias, where she meets and talks with students, learn ing the likes and dislikes of her cus toners and passing their opinions on to ARA Slater. When students voice minor com plaints, Miss Wagstaff remedies the situation immediately while major suggestions are passed on to the Slater director. Officiating at any special Slater project, such as the recent Italian night, Miss Wagstaff works her other hours around these occasions. She is also in charge of publicity for Slater. The faculty dining room is another of her responsibili ties. All these duties, pls the fact that coiplaiiig about food is a tradi tioi aimong U nt i v e r s i t y students, makes tie cmordinator's jolb a busy one. lin line with her work, she eats twice a daY iii the cafeterias. Miss Wagstaff's position is a new experiment of Slater System. At present there are only two such workers in the nation-wide food service, the other coordinator being employed at N. C. State. They were trained for their jobs as mediators last summer at U.N.C. in Greensboro. The two future Slater representatives received in structions in the food business and learned the fundamentals of cafe teria operations. Miss Wagstaff's other educational training includes an 4.11. degree in psychology an11d a iiinor in sociology. A 1965 graduate of East Caro lina University in Greenville, N. C., she is only 21 years old and therefore younger than many of the Slater customers. An active college career has proved a helpful background for Miss Wagstaff's work at USC. At East Carolina she was head ma jorette and a member of Alpha Delta Pi Sorority and Sigma Tau Sigma honorary society. She also and cologne corn sn't smell like the :omes on stronger. Nerful. Potent.

After two months in her new job, Wiss Wagstaff feels that the experi rnental position of student coordi. tator is proving beneficial to student relationships with the cafeteria sys. tem. She finds her job most reward ing "when the students are happy." Math Gets Research Allocation USC's department of mathematics is the recipient of a $15,000 research grant front the National Science Fomldation. The grant is to be directed by Dr. Edgar E. Enochs. Dr. W. I.. Williams, head of the iepartiment, said Dr. Enochs' two vtur research project is titled "'For 4ion Free Coveriig Modules." The NSF grant is the first of its kind awarded to the Department of Matheniatics at the University. A gradnate assistant, Miss lan Yueht liuang of Hong Kong, will work with Dr. Enochs in the re earch.
