CHAPEL HILL, N. C THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1931 SUMMER SCHOOL MS JEW FIRES Chief Foister States That Only Three Alarms Have Occurred in Last Sixty Days. Chapel Hill has enjoyed an al most; fireless summer, said fire chief J. L. Foister yesterday. According to the veteran fire fighter who has for twenty three years served the Hill as chief of the three-man fire de partment, this has been a rec ord season for few blazes, with the truck having been called for only three runs during the past sixty days. Not once in the en tire summer has it been neces sary to use the hose, since the firemen were on the scenes to extinguish the small blazes with chemicals before they gained any proportions. It is not unusual during some seasons to have as many as eighteen runs a month here, added-Fireman J. F. Par tin, while Durham has been known to have had as many as five in a single hour. Chief Foister states that there are less than a dozen false alarms a year, but as near as can be determined, only a small pro portion are turned in by stu dents. However, the chief con fessed that a false alarm is no infrequent thing immediately af ter quarterly examinations. Dormitory fires are often caused by the carelessness of wo men studentsvwith electric ap pliances. Numerous small but smokey blazes, say the firemen, are developed from celluloid toilet- articles ignited" from un mindful handling of curling irons. Jb or tms reason women students are generally respon sible for dormitory fires. New Location For Planned By English Department, Y, and Book Exchange Behind Reopening of Literary Dilettantes' Retreat in the Reconditioned Social Rooms of the Y Building. : o- The BulL's Head Book Shop, formerly located in Room 214, Murphey hall, will be re-opened in the Y. M. C. A. The reason for this change of location is that the Y is much more cen trally located on the campus, and will give the students easier ac cess to the shop. This shop, which was former ly run by Mr. Mahler, was in tended for the students of this University. It kept all the lat est books, both fiction and non- fiction, as well as-the classics. It was purely a literary venture, no text-books being sold there. Financially it was not at all a success, but this was expected by its sponsors. It was intend ed as a browsing-room, for lit erary devotees, more than a com mercial book-shop. Until the opening of the Gra ham Memorial the only room for the shop was in Murphey hall, but now, most of the student ac tivities, which were formerly held at the Y will be transferred to the new memorial, thus leav ing room for the Bull's Head in the Y. The Y intends to com bine, it's policy of having a read ing room with the book shop, by Patterson to Visit Hill Dr. Howard Patterson, well known physician of New York and alumnus of the University, will be here this week-end for a short visit. He is related to Ruf us Patterson, who is one of the donors of our new bell tower. Dr. Patterson is a Phi Beta Kap pa man, and was in various or ganizations at the University. BETTER CHAPEL PROGRAMS MADE Leaders in Several Fields Win Acquaint New Men With Campus Activities. Plans are now being made for the presentation of more inter esting assembly programs than have been given in the past.

The University administra tion will.be represented on the program each day in order that any special announcements of general concern might be made. There will be a short prayer and a hymn to open each meeting. - Space for Guests The freshmen and sophomores are so arranged in the hall that the two front rows are vacant for the use of faculty members or any other guests who may care to attend. According to the present re quirements, freshmen are required to attend assembly five days a week, while the sopho mores are expected to be present on Mondays and Fridays. The regulations governing absences are much similar to those of "the regular classes, and might be found in the University cata logue.

Bitll's Head Group Of Sponsors o . having a reading table at the lobby end of the room in which the book-shop -will be kept. At "present this room is not ready for occupation as plasterers are at work on the ceiling, and book shelves are being built on the north wall. The backers of the new ven ture are the Book Exchange, the English department, and the Y. M. C. A. With this large back ing the shop will be enlarged, and the volume of material will be larger and more varied, v - The shop was started in 1928 and has been situated in room 214 Murphey until this summer. A fair amount of interest was shown by the student body for whom it was s intended. About thirty students a day entered there, most of them for the pur pose of inspecting and handling the books. . However, enough of these individuals bought books to enable the place to pay for it self. The staff and new policy have, as yet, not been decided upon, but it is expected that the reno vated Bull's Head will be in run ning order in a short time. Hinman Is New Professor A. G.
