The Cy Winkler trophy for the high junior division team went to the Alpha Gamma Rho team com posed of Beck, Deets) Hagemeier, Rathjen and Bob Clock. Ray Kelly was announced as winner of the merit trophy award. Summary Of Year Meet Af Oklahoma Ends Debate Season University debaters won 67 per cent of their contests in the last debate season, according to Donald 0. Olsen, debate coach. "The outstanding thing about this debate team is that the members are active in all phases of Univer sity life," Olsen said. "Most are involved in a number of activities and are also good students." The Delta Sigma Rho regional congress at the University of Okla homa wound up debate for the ' forensic season. The debate team participated in 233 debates in the past season. Nine contests were audience de bates and 224 were decision de bates. The team won 149 of the decision debates and lost 75. In all events the team ; won 28 superior ratings. University de baters participated in 11 intercol legiate debate and discussion con ferences. Many schools only use their best debaters,' but the University de bate team has a policy of giving as many interested and capable students a chance to participate as possible, Olsen said. "We feel debate is an education adventure," he said. To Initiate Banquet The new members, chosen from the top workers of this school year, will be formally Initiated at a Corn Cobs banquet Wednesday.

The Outside World' Chou Stymies Talks By DICK RALSTON Staff Writer The recent offer of Red China's Chou En-lai to confer with the United States on easing tension in the Formosa area seems to have reached a stalemate. The United States is insisting that Nationalist China would have to be a party to anyasuch negotiations, and Chou reportedly refuses any negotiations with the Nationalists present. The offer to" negotiate the Formosan problem came during the closing session of the Afro-Asian conference in Bandung Indonesia. The conference ended with the adoption of a communique condemning colonialism "in all its manifestations," appealing for an end to racial ism, asking world disarmament and prohibition of atomic and hydrogen bombs and their tests, and promising closer cultural and economic ties. Pro-Western powers at the conference won major victories when the conference approved the formation of defense alliances under the United Nations charter, and when they won Red China's willingness to approve such principles as the United Nations definition of human rights and self-determination.

The Chancellor told the commit tee that approximately 1000 addi tional students might be attending the University in 1957.
