Much has been said of late concerning the superabundance shall we say superfluity? of laws. The time will come, it has been popularly predicted, when man's most personal and private activities will be direct ed to the detail by laws of the government. However, there is ' no fear of this, for when law becomes so cumbrous there will be an overthrow of it. Yet the Mount Airy News sees that we need laws, more laws, laws expressly regulating the number of persons who may ride in, on or about an automo bile. Proceeding of the premise that overloaded machines make for poor drivers, who in return are responsible often for acci dents, that family journal.takes to task the legislators (who graciously gave the state over 1,200 new laws last winter) for not enacting a statute against putting more than a - certain number in, on or about an auto. Now we grant that cars should not be overloaded and that they often cause accidents. , ; But is it necessary to pass a law, to clutter the statute books, to harass the poor "ever-lawed" citizen with more laws in order to keep a man from placing too many riders in his flivver? Certainly it appears that nui sance and accident laws would take care of the case. Would it not be a ludicrous affair if John Law should be forced to take in tow some poor, devil be cause he carried onevor' two be yond the legal limit, when he was forced into giving the entire brood a ride? Think of the poor fellow who fails to take to the modern doctrine of control. . Laws, as detailed directions for daily activities, 'have become so much a nuisance in themselves and have caused so much so called lawlessness, that the mat ter of enacting a law should be come a little more serious busi ness. The time will -come when the rank and file will establish the fact that it has as much in telligence as the legislators who sit in Raleigh every bienum and legislate so puerilely. ceive credit for work towards degrees or certificates. This is not to say that former summer schools were nothing more than a cultural summer resort. There was serious, conscientious work done then as it is being done to day.'- , Yet the tone of the summer session has steadily become more serious and studious. Wha was once 'summer school' has now become in reality, if not in name, a fourth-quarter of the scholastic year of the Uni versity. Courses are now varied and numerous enough to provide work that any student would de sire in working for a degree or certificate credit However, in a scant six weeks only a minimum of work may be done." Two courses is the regular amount of creditwork passed. In , the . second term, which is of equal length, the same amount of work may be done. Many courses continue through . the second term and many others are offered for those who would register in the second term for the first time. If the student is seeking in struction, knowledge, as well as credit, it will be found advan tageous to remain for the second term of the Universiy summer school. BULL'S HEAD IS OPEN FOR THE SUMMER TERM Book Store Dealing in Works of , Popular . and General In terest Located in Murphey. STAY FOR IT ALL Today marks the halfway course of the first term of sum mer school. Three weeks hence registration will be held for the second term. The ; Tar Heel hopes that every, student is spending a profitable and pleas urable, period while in summer school. The time was in post-war days when men and women, boys and girls, flocked here by the multitudes to enjoy six weeks of good times and incidentally re- After a few months of serv ing students and faculty of the University, the Bull's Head Book Shop, established by Professor H. M. Jones, remains open to the public throughout the sum mer. The Bull's Head is located on the second floor of Murphey and remains open until five o'clock in the afternoon. Dur ing that time anyone may. use the place to look over the latest literary works and make such purchases as he may desire. Some of the latest additions to the Bull's Head are Donn Byrne's Brother Saul, Romain Rolland's Annette and Sylvie, andFrancis Brett Young's Love Is Enough. Besides the new novels, Edwin Arlington Robin son's Tristram, Paul Green's In Abraham's Bosom, and other best sellers" have been recent ly added. Representative of the later treatises on music is Paul Bekker's TheStory of Music. The Modern Library Series, a notable collection of significant books mostly in modern litera ture, may be found at the Bull's Head. During the short time that this unusual type of establish ment has been in operation the keepers of the shop found that several assumptions ' regarding the lack of student interest in worthwhile books were false. Students last quarter used the Bull's Head frequently and a large number took the. chance to buy select books. WILL ANNOUNCE WINNER OF PLAY CONTEST JULY 1 Four One-Act Plays from N. C Entries Now in National Playwriting Contest SEIWELL, U. N. C. GRADUATE, GETS . BIG APPOINTMENT Carnegie Institution Picks Him for Long World Cruise; Is ' Biological Oceanographcr The North Carolina entries in the national contests in play writing have been narrowed down to four one-act plays and two full length plays. The win ning productions for North Car olina will be announced July 1, when one full length and one one-act play will be chosen and sent to the national judges to compete with those sent in by other state centers for the na tional awards. The contests for North Carolina are being con ducted by the Carolina ; Play- makers, who were appointed state representatives. The contests are conducted by the Drama 'League of America through the colleges and the state centers of the Drama League and the Little Theatres. The purposes that prompted the organization of the contests were to foster the American drama, to aid the American theatre and to encourage the American play wright. The contests consist of a one-act historical play for col- ege students only, a one-act play in which anyone may com pete; a biblical play of any ength; and a full length play. The winning full-length play will be produced by Brock Pem berton, prominent producer of New York; the Biblical Play by the; Pilgrim Players, of Chicago; and the one-act plays by the American Academy of Dramatic Arts of New York. , All four will be published by the Play Department of Longmans, Green and Company. - s ,. The judges for North Caro lina on the first committee are Howard Mumford Jones, of the HJniversity of North Carolina Englishs department; Elizabeth Lay Green, and Hubert Heffner, assistant director and manager of the Carolina Playmakers,-r The members of the second com mittee are Dr. Archibald Hen derson, Prof. Frederick Koch, director of the Carolina Play makers, and -Hubert Heffner. The original number of entries1 for North Carolina were nine teen' one-act plays and five full length plays. UNIVERSITY TO RECEIVE FUND IN CLERK'S HANDS The University was --benefitted last week by the disposition of unclaimed funds in the hands of Mecklenburg Superior court clerk. Upon petition of the clerk, an order was signed by Judge T. B. Finley instructing that the money, $672, be turned over to an agent of the Univer sity. State law provides that funds left with the clerk of eourt to the credit of persons who can not be found, during a period of five years, escheat to the Uni versity. The moneys were paid to the clerk in judgments ren dered, but the individuals .could not be located. ' , NUDITY NOT ALLOWED ON TENNIS COURTS There has arisen considerable criticism as to the way some of the men are dressedor rather undressed on the tennis courts. Now that ladies have not only equal rights but superior num bers on the tennis courts the committee wishes to request of all men on the courts that they regard with more "clothing". the presence of the ladies, it was announced yesterday. The committee requests that the minimum dress' be, shirt or athletic jersey, and tennis trous ers. ' Drinks, Ice Cream and Toasted Sandwiches "Best in Town" Sutton & Alderman An appointment, unique in the opportunities it affords and the youth of the appointee, was announced recently by the Car negie Institution of Washington The appointment is that of H R. Seiwell, of Hazleton, Pa., who received his diploma at the commencement exercises of the University of North Carolina in June, as biological oceanograph er on a four year expedition to make investigations into terres trial magnetism. - The expedition the longest and most complete of its kind will take the scientists , who are directing it through the seven seas and will circle' the world several times. The ..expedition will be made on the "Carnegie." The investigations will be un der the direction of five experi enced physicists. Seiwell, the youngest member of the expedi tion, will be in charge of all bio logical and chemical observa tions. Dredgings will be 'made in the deepest parts of the ocean ; bottom mud and marine sam ples from all depths will be col lected and studied ; uncharted or poorly charted islands, atolls, and coral reefs in the Pacific will be run down and accurately obseryed and charted. Seiwell received his training in the biology and geology de partments of the University, in both of which he served as lab oratory instructor and assistant. During the last year he held a research grant from the Rocke feller foundation for research. work carried on in Chapel Hill, and also held a position with the United States Bureau of Fish eries.

Sound withespecial reference to the oyster. The Carnegie expedition sails from New York next May, but Seiwell's appointment takes ef fect on the first of September. After superintending the con struction of his . laboratory on the boat, he will make an inten sive study in oceanographic methods in Norway, Monaco, Naples, California and Harvard. He is at present in Beaufort con cluding his investigations for the Bureau of Fisheries, ' , The expedition will be in charge of Captain Ault, scien tist and navigator, who has con ducted several other expeditions for the Carnegie Institution. The "Carnegie" is ' being com pletely rebuilt to meet the spe cial requirements for the cruise. It will be entirely non-magnetic, containing no iron, ' The expedition will first push into the Arctic Ocean from the Atlantic, getting as close to the magnetic pole as possible. This will be during the first summer out. The winter will be spent m the Pacific, and during the second summer the Arctic will be attacked from the Pacific side. The following winter the cruise will extend into the Ant arctic and an overland journey will be made on the Antarctic Continent toward the magnetic south pole. " Another important land trip will be a visit to the Carnegie Station, v high in the Peruvian Andes. Off the coast of Peru the expedition will study carefully the peculiar Humboldt current and check the observa tions of William Beebe in that area. This current flows from the Antarctic ocean and brings both fauna and flora from the polar seas into the tropic seas of the torrid zone. The fauna and flora of the cold and the hot waters are here found, existing side by side, interbreeding and giving rise to many strange hy brid species. John Ingould, Carpenter.
