The announcement was made in a nationally televised ceremony following a dinner sponsored by the Downtown Athletic Association, six other categories also were announced.
CAMPBELL WAS SELECTED over two other finalists, tight end Ken MacAfee of Notre Dame and running back Terry Miller of Oklahoma State. The trophy was won by the first-time former University of Chicago running back won the first Heisman 43 years ago.

Going for victory number two, the University of Kansas' gymnastics team enters its final competition of the fall semester at the Rocky Mountain Open today and tomorrow at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo.
The Jayhawks are coming off their best performance in nearly two years when they defeated Stout State of Wisconsin and Central Missouri State University in the team's first double-dual action of the season last week in Warrensburg, Mo.
KU's score of 19.45 points represented the highest dual meet scored since the 1975-78 season when Kansas posted a 197.5-point effort against the University of Oklahoma.
"That was our best score in almost two seasons," KU coach Bob Lockow said. "But we still didn't reach our goal of 200 points."
At Colorado Springs, KU will face a tough 20-team field, including the other Big Eight teams, several Western Athletic Conference teams, and several Air Force and several Eastern schools.
IT WILL BE THE Jayhawks' first major team competition since the Big Eight Invitational last month. Lockwood is taking a full team and said the meet will be a team competition rather than an individual one, as was the Midwest Open last month.
"I'm interested to see how we've progressed in comparison to the other conference schools since the Big Eight Invitational." Lockwood said. "I don't expect to challenge Oklahoma, Nebraska and Iowa, but I will be interested to see how it stacks against College which didn't field a full team at the conference invitational."
Lockwood said that this week's workouts had been productive and that the team was ready to go.

"I'd like to thank the guys who helped me get this," Campbell said. "The guys most responsible are the offensive linemen. I am happy words to express what they done for me."
"I thought about what winning the Heisman Trophy would mean. I hope I can represent it. All I know is it took a lot of hard work to get it.
"EVERYBODY HAS DREAMS, and for
the year has been a dream come true."

After posting a 3-0 record so far this season, the meet against SMU might mean the first defeat in Spahn's young career at Oklahoma State. The second is glad to have the meet on the schedule.
"The original thick crust pizza from New York"
"It will be an interesting meet," Spahn said. "They're nationally ranked and already this year they were just barely in the top three, who finished second in the NCAA last year."
Spahn, who had been working his swimmers hard since workouts began in September, has eased off a little since the Relavs.
"Our attitude gets better each meet," Spahn said. "We are really becoming a chicken."
"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?" Psalms 2:1 and Acts 4:25
"Y that love the Lord hate evil ... Take thou away from the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy曲s. But let judgment run down as waters, and it will be a mighty stream! Psalm 7:10 and Amos 5:23 and 24.
One may love the great hymns and music of the Church, but if one does not "hate evil" it appears God does not appear. I am sorry, I do not like this.
Several years ago a minister of one of the oldest and best known Churches of the South began his sermon by asking his congregation if they ever thought of missing heaven after all, and facing an eternity in the "take of fire." He said: "I do. Doubtless he was prepared to "Trust In The Lord with all his heart, and lean not unto his own understanding."
After all, the professions of faith, the preaching, the teaching, the churchman, the good will and opinions of fellow churchmen and good works in the sight of men then to miss heaven? This is no idle question just to frighten Did not mary receive Jesus Christ as his Son? In many rejected who thought they were prepared? And in another place we are told that those who "rejected the truth and had pleasure in unright勇敢ness" that God Himself would send them a detulsion they might believe a lie and be misled. That is why I test he test! Someone has well said that many professors Christians take John 3:16: "For God so loved the world, etc."
and use it a bait to swat and bat and knock out of the way all other Scriptures in order to justify their 'love' of the world, the flesh and the evil'. *Meditate* a little on Christ's Temptation found in Matthew 4 and Luke 4 and see if He did not in effect forgive Jesus' sins. Let us do not destroy another Scriptural Truth: "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." One of the auditors of the above preacher was much impressed by hearing such a question asked in the Bible: "How can you boldly reject the teaching of God's Word and Jesus Christ regarding eternal hell, or else take the pervious position that "which is not talked about does not exist," and all this in spite of their ordination vowel. The Late Sam Jones said that those who throw 'hirt' life in their creed when they get to know them should be a adopt in that there is nothing got 'but hirt' fire.'
It is impossible to be a Christian acceptable to God and Christ without "denying self". He said so time and again, in the strongest of language. We should not pray and Search for God's truth on ourselves, as we mindless minds as to what is evil and offensive to God, and seek the strength of God to "resist the devil" and bear such a witness to it, that we stand on every moral and spiritual matter regarding The Lord.
