ReQua Hurt In Accident ' Injured As Car Leaves Road, Hurtles 75 Feet Gene ReQua, University sophomore, was badly injuredaboui ,-7:30r last night when the car he was driving to Durham broke through the wire fence at the New Hope Creek bridge six miles from Chapel Hill and hurtled 75 feet to the opposite bank of the stream. Watts Hospital would not issue a definite statement on ReQua's condi tion late last night, and doctors at the University Infirmary, where Re Qua was first rushed immediately after the wreck said only that he "was pretty badly smashed up." Suffering From Shock W. H. Medlin of Durham, who pick ed up ReQua and carried him to the Infirmary at the injured student's re quest, said that the boy was suffering from a severe case of shock, was bad ly cut on the forehead, and was seri ously injured in one arm and leg. Infirmary doctors' could render only temporary treatment and called 1m mediately for an ambulance from the Durham hospital. ReQua was carried over about 8:45. Blinded by Lights Medlin reported that ReQua, al though badly dazed while he was be ing taken to the Infirmary, mumbled that the "bus should have given me more room." Whenlan Barbee, who lives in the filling station just south of the bridge and who rescued the student from the car while he was still unconscious, said that ReQua probably was blinded by the headlights of some vehicle. The car driven by ReQua, a 1941 Oldsmobile owned by his roommate, Bill Wagner, broke through the wire fence before it reached the concrete abuttment and plunged diagonally See ReQUA, page 4. By Philip Carden The student party lumbers into the political swim tonight at 7:30 with its first convention of the season in Phi halL Asked what is likely to happen at tonight's meeting. Chairman Mitchell Britt stuck to his contention that the party has no secret steering commit tee this year and that "anything can happen." "We will work on the details of the organization and discuss possible can didates. We may nominate somebody, I but that's up to the delegates." No Steering Committee Since the SP adopted the open con vention method of nominating candi dates two years ago, there has always been an unofficial "steering commit tee" which more or less controlled the convention's decisions though its ex istence was never officially admitted. This year the committee is no more, Britt declares, and he shrugs good naturedly at the knowing chuckles which usually follow the statement. "We will have an administrative committee and will publish its mem bership," he said, "but its business will be to get candidates elected, not to nominate them." Membership Cut Delegates to the convention were elected the latter part of the fall quar ter, membership being cut by nearly half from last year. Britt said that this was done to make the body small See STUDENT PARTY, page 4. Members Attack Inaction, Policy Of Di Senate Figuratively speaking, the Di senate blew up" last night. The meeting was at decided variance with the lukewarm debates that have characterized the ac tivities of the senate in recent months as a number of senators bitterly at tacked the indifferent attitude of the members and the inaction that has pervaded the senate recently. Statements in campus publications within the past few weeks to the ef fect that the Di was on its last legs were brought to the fore as Manfred Rogers, Louis Poisson, Jennie Wells Newsome, Arthur Link, and Carring ton Gretter led an attack on the re cent policies of the senate, and called for a definite about-face of the atti tude of the Di members. Limit Membership The immediate effect of the attacks was the passage of a motion that the membership of the Di be limited to 35 members. Manfred Rogers called the attention of the senate to the fact that the Uni versity administration has shown evi dence that it will ask that the Di aban don its hall in New West and turn it over to the psychology department un less the Di begins to better itself. This would have the effect of prac- - ' tfcally disbanding the senate. .. -..'- v-: :- -: J : inwi lama TERRY SANFORD, second-year law student, who was nominated by the University Party yesterday for speaker of the student legisla ture in a move which indicates the rising importance of that position among the major campus offices.

Since it followed so closely the UP's nomination on Monday of Ferebee Taylor for president of the student body, this move may indicate that the speakership of the legislature now ranks only second among the major campus offices. A representative from the Inter dormitory council, Sanford was unani mously elected chairman of the ways and means committee at the legisla- ture's first meeting this falL Since then, the ways and means committee has drafted and submitted , to the legislature the bills which abolished the Buccaneer, established the new Tar an' Feathers and author ized the proposed reorganization of the whole campus for participation in student government. Sanford is now on the Interdormi- tory council as manager and floor counsellor of Everett. He also served on the council three years ago when he was president of Manly dormitory. Law Frat Member From Laurinburg, N. C, Sanford was initiated last year into Beta Alpha Rho, honorary law fraternity. The new constitution of the legisla ture was approved by the student body in last spring's elections. JSot Stunt When Samo, McCall Wed Sound and Fury's chief publicity agents, Bud Samo and Helene Mc Call, took time out last Friday for what might have been another pub licity stunt. It was not a stunt, however, when a justice of the peace in Bennettsville, South Carolina, finally issued them a marriage license and performed the ceremony. m The couple were driven to. Bennetts ville, by Ted Royal, another mem ber of the publicity staff. Royal was best man, confidant, and chauffeur and insists, "I was completely surpris ed."

Opening up a new invasion front in Libya, the free French appeared to be joining Britain's Imperial Army of the Nile in a huge encirclement of the badly battered Fascist army of Mar shal Rodolfo Graziani. Sweeping up in a blitzkrieg rush French forces drove 225 miles across Libya's southern desert to Murzuck. At Murzuck, where the Italian gar rison wras" wiped out, the town sacked, and the airdrome burned to the ground, the free French were about 475 miles directly south of Italy's great Medi terranean coastal base of Tripoli. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 An au thoritative source in close touch with war developments said today that Ger many probably has 36,000 combat planes, of which half are in active service and the other half in reserve as replacements. The disclosure coincided with a pre diction by General George C. Marshall, Army chief of staff, that Germany will attempt to invade the British Isles in April or May but that Great Britain, with material aid from this country, eventually would defeat the Nazi war machine. Marshall told a press conference that information reaching here from va rious sources indicates the Nazis are preparing to launch a tremendous of . See NEWS BRIEFS, page 4. The Daily Tae Heel yesterday ac quired a new member or its visiting editorial board composed of South American "summer school" students. He is Eduardo Carrion, correspondent of El Telegrafo, newspaper in Ecua dor. Carrion related yesterday his inter esting experiences in witnessing the inauguration of President Roosevelt last Monday in Washington. He ar rived in Chapel Hill with his delega tion and on the same day returned to the capital city to cover the event for his paper. He had not previously acquired cre dentials and found that police at the capitol would not permit him to move up to the press section of the stands. In fact, they required him to open his briefcase to show that he was not carrying a weapon. An officer said that he would seek out the head of the press section,ut after many minutes of fruitless waiting, Carrion decided to take action. Remembering scenes in motion pic tures of North American reporters, Carrion pushed forward, explaining as he went that he was a newspaperman, that he must file a story to Ecuador. At last, he reached the press section director, explained his difficulty, and finally landed within 30 feet of the oath-taking stand, one of the best po sitions in the press section. Phi May Sponsor Radio Program Speaker Jimmy Pittman of the Phi assembly last night appointed a com mittee of five to investigate the pos sibility of presenting in the near fu ture a "radio program, such " as was given by the Phi last spring.
