Car Collision
Injures Eight
In Carrboro
Law Students Are
Among Casualties
A two-car collision at the junc
tion of the Hillsboro and Greensr
boro highways in west Carrboro
injured eight persons last night.
Two of those hurt were Univer- ;i;
sity law students.
The accident occurred at 8:05
when a car supposedly driven by
law student Horton Rountree ran
I head-on-into another driven by
Grady Austin, a Negro. Rountree
was coming out of the Hillsboro
highway, while Austin was com
ing from Carrboro. Both cars
were severely damaged.
In Rountree'S auto were his wife,
young child, and law student Er
nest Parker and his fiancee. There
were four in Austin's car.
Included among those injured
were Rountree, who was admil-

to provide the artist with nec

cents, and Segovia will auto

Quonset 26.
Segovia's decision to do a bust
of Wolfe was prompted by a
recent suggestion of Dr. Mary
C. Engstrom of the English de
partment.
Dr. Engstrom said that
Chapel Hill is apparently for
getting Wolfe, one of its most
famous alumni, and made specif
ic recommendations for correcting
the negligence. The recently
formed Tom Wolfe club will aid
in this program.
Except for an obscure picture
or two, there is no indication
on campus that Wolfe ever went
to school here. An enormous
collection of Wolfe manuscripts
and other material, the gift of
William B. Wisdom, wealthy
Texan, now rests in the Houghton
Rare Book library at Harvard
university.
It is somewhat ironical that in
Wolfe's last novel is found tho
following passage: "This is man,
. . . he lets his poets die." Wolfe
admirers are determined to prove
otherwise, and the Segovia por
traithead should provide an I in
centive to a worthy project.

THINGS DON'T LOOK SO GOOD FOR the Student part
in Tuesday's run-off election. Not only has the Campus party
" - S!y . I r Kohind Dick Gordon and Ted Leonard for
hTpdemd vice-presidency, but the University party
- . 1 . . , , : i 4 ctmnnH TP ranriidates against
through Leonard nas pi uuwiu w
SP candidates for legislature seats, where the UP has no one
in the race. . ..
So Bill Mackio and Al Lowenstcin arc now running on tnt
SP ticket against Gordon and Leonard as doubly-endorsed can
didates. And we all know what happened to John Sanders when
he tried to buck a Ui-Ci- combination in his race for secretary
trc3.surcr Mackie, it is true, ran first in the first balloting, and Low
enstein didn't run too far behind Leonard. So what the SP
boys have to figure out is how many votes they can pick up
between now and day. after tomorrow, and how many of the
Campus party votes will actually go to the UP candidates. The
vote in the CP meeting to support Gordon and Leonard
was 15 to 9 hardly a true representation of the whole Campus
party. And as we mentioned yesterday, at least one member of
the party resigned after the meeting and a number more refused
to back the UP candidates.
The weather on Tuesday may be the deciding factor in thu
election. If we have another rainy day like we did last week,
the UP stands a good chance of sweeping the election. If it is
a clear, warm day, you can depend on a fight at the polls,
because there will probably be a large turn-out, even though
the vote for run-off s around here has a reputation for being
exceedingly small.
Ye'll know, at any rate, by the time the Daily Tar Heel
goes to press Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, just who
will be the next president and vice-president of the student
body.
Life Magazine features in the
current issue a three-page feature

The last picture in the feature
includes Senator Clyde R. Hoey,
who is shown greeting his new
colleague in the Senate.
The Life article notes that
North Carolina has often been
called the South's most liberal
state. "Much of its liberalism has
come about directly through the
impact of Frank Graham, or in
directly through his students,"
the story continues.

Senator Graham's achievements,
including his work during the

Well Searchers
Find Dress Part
SAN MARINO, Calif, April 9
(UP) A rescuer seeking
three-year-old Kathy Fiscus,
trapped all night and half a day
in a 120-foot abandoned well,
today reported sighting what he
believed was the pink "party
dress she wore when she tumbled
in during play late Friday.
O. A. Kelly, working in a tun
nel at the 85-foot level of the
shaft, reported sighting the frock
10 feet below the spot where he
and an assistant had torn a hole
into the corroded iron casing of
the 14-inch-widc well.
He said he could not be positive
it was the dress.
At the same time the super
visor of the rescue crew. En
gineer Raymond Hill, announced
the 72 -foot deep open pit from
which Kelly tunneled into the
pipe had to be abandoned.
Rescuers, with the aid of hard
rock equipment, turned back to
a 65-foot hole, 30-inches wide,
that had been drilled on another
side of the well shaft and aban
doned when the going got tough
early today in hard shale rock.
The rescue crew, witn tnou
sands looking on, immediately be
gan to drill through the hard
rock. Hill said the men probably
would not get to the 95-foot level
until 5 or 6 p.m. (pst), at which
time little Kathy would have
been 24 hours in the shaft that
may be her tomb.
The pink dress was Kathy's
best, embroidered in while across
the front. She wore it when she
went with her mother yesterday
to meet her aunt, Mrs. Hamilton
Lyon, of Chula Vista, Calif., and
her Cousins, Staley, 10 and Gus,
5, when they arrived by train
for a visit.
