Gerald W. Gorman '54 won the trophy as the outstanding negative debater in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Invitational Debate Tournament this weekend. Twenty-four New England colleges with 124 entries competed for the individual honors.

Through a total of four hours of discussion during Friday and Saturday, Gorman proved that he could argue the negative to, "Resolved: That the federal government should adopt a permanent program of price and wage controls" better than any of the remaining sixty two men who took the negative side.
