Meet the two Citadel students who got into the debate

Eldred Tinsley V of Greenwood and Martin Till of Orangeburg, both 18, are the only two enrollees in The Citadel summer program to get tickets for tonight's big debate.

The two, who will be freshmen at the school in the fall, strode in from two weeks of academics and physical training to hear the candidates.

The Citadel's four-week College Success Institute is designed to get high schoolers ready to be cadets.

"This was an opportunity to learn," Till said going in to the arena. "Maybe it help persuade my opinion on who to support."
