Last year, in his NCAA debut, Statum was eliminated in the first match. This year, however, the Aggie senior was not to be denied. He entered the final round fresh from a sensational KO victory over Joe Shaw of California Tech in the semi-finals. In Peyton, Statum encountered a willing and able foe but the Aggie's superior ringmanship enabled him to cap a clear cut decision. Walton, Quarles Eliminated Two other Aggies, lightweight Roland Walton and Don Quarles, light heavyweight were eliminated prior to the final round. Watson, undefeated in regular season competition, dropped a first round decision to Roy Zale, Wisconsin pugilist.

Tri-State Crown Won By Debaters On Northern Tour Two Aggie teams won the 1953 annual Tri-State League debate crown by defeating the affirmative team of Virginia State and the negative team of South Carolina State Monday night, April 13 when the three schools engaged in the traditional contest held each year at the colleges. At A. and T. College Al Mickens and James Knight debating the nega- ti\ i side defeated Frank Leigh Edwards and Althea V. Beal of Virginia State College who defended the affirmative side of the question "Resolved: That the Voting Age Should Be Lowered to Eighteen for All Citizens of the United States." At South Carolina State College James Marrow and Henry Frye, two seniors, with Willie L. Mosely as alternate defeated the affirmative team of State College, Charles Johnson and Benjamin Payton, on the same question. Both debates were heated, and provoked much thought for all the eighteen year-olds in the two audiences. Mr. Stuart Bundy of Bob Jones University judged the South Carolina wing of the debate. Dr. Phillip W. Furnas of Guilford College judged the A. and T. debate. Mrs. Pearl G. Bradley served as chairman of the debate in Harrison Auditorium. Mrs. Loreno Marrow was in charge of the party and reception. R. Roderick Palmer is coach of the college debating teams. The varsity teams of the Kappa Phi Kappa Forensic society left April 20 for the northern tour of debates. James Morrow, Al Mickens, Robert Lane, Henry Frye and Charles Bussey made the tour debating the national topic: "Resolved: That the Congress of the United States Should Adopt a Compulsory Fair Employment Practices Law."

All Students Enjoy Living On Campus By CHARLES KING, '55 Six spacious dormitories comprising more than 1500 rooms adorn our spacious campus housing more than 2500 students. Arranged and located conveniently for young women and young men on the main and north campuses, these buildings are used more than any other buildings on the campus. Vanstory Hall and North Dormitory have interesting histories, being among the first buildings erected here. Besides the two dormitories for girls, Holland Hall, Curtis Hall and Morrison Hall accommodate more than 600 co-eds. W. Kerr Scott Hall, one of the largest men's dormitories in the country, though not adequately meeting the need of male housing on the campus, sits majestically against the horizon depicting the North Campus of the school. More than 1,000 men live in this beautiful building which contains recreation rooms, lobbies, snack sections, Jong winding balls, spacious offices, and varied game and study rooms for the occupants. Many students have acclaimed the commodious home-like conveniences these buildings offer. Deans' Staff Competent Mr. William E. Gamble, dean of men, heads a staff of five assistants who manage the affairs of the young men on th<; campus. These assistant deans are highly competent and trained to handle many problems students present from day to day. Mr. Leroy Everett, Mr. William J. Decatur, Mr. Arthur Headen, and Mr. Walter Mc- Larty serve in such capacities as counselors, tutors, advisers, and placement officers. Deans Gamble, Everett, and Decatur also serve on the instructional staff of the college. One of the main features of the dean's office is the most highly serviceable file and record-keeping system for each man that permits the efficient handling, location, and counseling of these men. Miss Marjorie Holmes serves as the secretary in this office. Under Dean Headen's supervision is the temporary dormitory for men, the Varsity House. Approximately 60 men live in this make-shift building while awaiting the construction of a men's new dormitory recently authorized by the State Legislature. Many men live in approved homes in the city, thereby reflecting the need for additional housing on the campus. Problems in meeting the various needs of these men who live in the city come to the desk of the various deans. The tremendous job they are doing in helping our male students maintain fine records and to contribute to the scholarship and glory of our school deserves the praise often extended to the deans of men at the college. Dean Spinner and Staff Work Hard Miss Jean Spinner, dean of women, heads a staff of ten competent women who handle the problems of the girls at A. and T. College. Working with Dean Spinner are Miss Sarah C. Hannar and Miss Laura Moss in Morrison Hall; Mrs. Myrtle Nesbitt and Mrs. Gladys Taylor in North Dormitory: Miss Edith Lee and Miss Inez Higgins in Vanstory; Miss Virginia Hughes and Miss Emma Cagle in Curtis Hall; and Miss Margaret Corbett and Miss Edna Adkins in Hoi- land Hall.
