By ED PRIZER Littleton Upshur, graduate student in chemistry who was seriously in jured when experimental equipment in Venable hall blew up Wednesday night, is in a critical condition with just a fighting chance for life, doc tors in Watts hospital reported last night Upshur, a native of Greenwood, Miss., was working with a mixture of chemicals involving the use of chlorine in a flask when the explosion oecurred with a cannon-like report. Others working in the building found Upshur covered with blood and his raincoat perforated by many glass particles. Both arms had deep gashes in them. Upshur was able to walk from the chemistry building to the infirmary from where he was immediately taken to Watts hospital in Durham. There doctors sewed up seven intestinal cuts among other injuries. It is reported that the experiment had been carried on without any trou ble several times before and no one seems to know what could have caused the slip-up. The tremendous pressure of the explosion forced the particles of glass through several metal cans and thick glass plates and made im pressions in sheets of steel standing nearby. Chemicals in the flask were spread throughout the room. , , Those present at the time of the ex plosion were reluctant to reveal any further details. , lvipriiiinig Groups Will Have Limited Power In Code Violations Three complete class honor councils were selected as a result of yester day's voting. The class councils serve to try any honor code violations aris ing from their respective classes. Al though the class councils do not have final jurisdiction in these cases, as sentences must be passed by the Stu dent council, cases dismissed by it are not subject to reconsideration. Rising seniors selected the follow ing men for their council: Walter Clark 164, John Bonner 150, Jack Lynch 149, A. C. Hall 140, Tom Keys 139, and Foy Roberson 138. RISING JUNIORS In the rising junior class, Skipper Bowles, Bill Broadfoot, John French, Jim Gray, Charles Barrett, and Bill Joslin were elected to the class coun cil with a vote of 237, 179, 140, 139, 183, and 131, respectively. The sophomore council for next year consists of: John Diffendal 200, Bill Cody 195, George Coxhead 183, Dud ley Cocke 183, and Mac MacLendon 162. Tar Heel Editor Martin Harmon, newly elected edi tor of the Daily Tar Heel, who de feated his two opponents in the first ballot. Harmon will take office at a staff banquet on Sunday, April 23. :.:( l ' -li H I II I III II gr--jjMMaIMMlMMMMMMfl Undents Elect Davis President, 1,175-644 UP Candidates Fairley, Wood, Become New Vice-President, Secretary-Treasurer By Defeating Elliot, Vincent Some 1,819 University students quizically walked up to five auto matic voting machines in the annual campus elections yesterday and gave the three-year-old Student party 14 offices as compared to 11 for the University party. Four candidates were swept into their new posts on the endorsement of both campus political fac tions. Jimmy Davis (UP, SP) all but annihilated his independent op ponent, Bill Pearson, by showing a heavy majority with 1,175 votes as compared to 644. Pearson conceded defeat early in the evening at the Daily Tar Heel election party, making the following state ment, "Jini Davis has been endorsed by the student body as well as the two parties. I wish to add my endorsement and to pledge my 1939-40 Officers s Jim Davis, new president of the University student body.

The marriage instructor disclosed several facts concerning the progress, among which was that 2,525 colleges were at the present time giving the marital course. The phases of the curriculum are courtship, engage ments, finances, marital adjustment, conception, and pregnancy. He also pointed out that the most important quality for a successful marriage is the desire for a home and children. "Child marriages recently have shocked all America," Dr. Groves de clared, "but marriages of many old er persons are as pitiful and absurd.

My campaign manager, Bill Shore, ami my supporters have been highly effi cient and energetic They already have and will continue to have my friend ship and appreciation." Jack Fairley (UF) won the office of Vice-president of the student body by defeating Tim Elliot (SP) by a vote of 1,022 to 761. Charlie Wood -gave the University party another strong office by winning over Jack Vincent (SP), 919 to .816, for secretary-treasurer of the student body, a post established at the polls last year. The Student party captured an overwhelming victory as it elected Martin Harmon, staff nominee, to the Editorship of the Daily Tar Heel. Harmon brought in 946 ballots against 596 for Dewitt Barnett (UP) and 258 for Walter Kleeman (Independent). NEW CHEER LEADER Students failed to reelect their 1938 39 head cheerleader, "Pat" Patterson, and gave Vance Hobbs (SP) 1,001 over the University party .nominee's 772. Probably the biggest surprise of the evening came in the tallies of the Sen ior -f class officers when the Student party candidates made a clean sweep of the ticket. Benny Hunter received 242 votes as cempared to "Fish" Wor ley's 192 for the presidency of the class. Watts Carr took the vice-presidency with 227 ballots to Bill Blalock's 194.
