Southern Political Science Group Hears Law Professor at Knoxville Administrative law* is gradually becoming the most important law of the state, as are regulatory agencies in state government, Dr. James Lenoir, professor of law, asserted at the annual meeting of the Southern Political Science As- sociation at Knoxville last week. "Part of the work of these regulatory agencies ii judicial in nature, and this has given rise to the question ■ ■ of the extent of procedure and practice of the regulatory agencies as regulated by the state," Dr. Lenoir said. At present, violations of state laws and administrative orders are regulated by the state. "Tf a motor transportation company, acting under a certificate of convenience and necessity, fails to abide by the regulations of the railroad commission, or of Dairyman Jones finds the health regulations of the milk control board too one- erous for complete observance," Dr. Lenoir continued, "he must then come before the state regulatory commission to be tried. Likewise, if Laundryman Smith is convinced that he can make more money if he charges lower prices than the dry-cleaning board prescribes as a minimum, he must face the same board. "However the courts check on these state regulatory agencies, for they decide whether the administrative agencies have acted within the scope of the authority given them by the legislature. Sometimes, if administrative agencies, in their zeal fail to accomplish the purposes for which they were crertcd. act too hastily, it is up to the courts to decide whether or not they have been arbitrary in punishing Dairyman Jones, Laundryman Smith, and other violators. The courts decide when such cases are brought up on an appeal to them, whether or not the accused violator has been treated fairly under our constitutional system of govern- "In many such decisions of. the courts there are certain rules and procedures laid down which the courts consider necessary ior the administrative agency to follow in order to keep the lat- I HELP/1 JKfELP// Honorary Chemistry Fraternity Alumni Tell Of Their Work By ESTHER MANDEVILLE When the local chapter of Gamma Sigma Epsilon, honorary chemistry fraternity held its annual alumni breakfast, Nov. 11, letters were read from several of the alumni who were unable to be present. Ray Craig '39, who is doing graduate work in chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh, in Pittsburgh, Pa., writes of how much he likes his work. Aside from carrying nine hours of work per week, he has charge of three inorganic chemistry laboratory sections and one organic laboratory section. Since there are well over 100 students in the chemistry department of the university, it means that the assistants are kept very busy grading papers. Craig said that he rather enjoys grading" freshman papers, for some; of them are "really hilarious. Eleanor A. Warner 39, writes from the snowy regions of Coleraiue, Minnesota, that she has been studying French, doing a great deal of choral singing, and playing a Hammond organ. Eleanor also has a choir of her own, and she nas been doing some substitute teaching in high school physics and chemistry. Miss Warner said that the iron mines of Minnesota which would ordinarily be closed down by now. are operating at top speed. Several trains of nearly two hundred cars of iron, rumble along the line daily. From the Biochemistry Department of the College Medicine of the University Cincinnati comes a letter from Betty Badger '37. Miss Badger received her Master of Science degree in Biochemistry at the University of Cincinnati, last June, and during the summer she worked at the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Jlo'e, Mass. Tn her letter Miss Badger said that Woods Hole was unique, for every other person there had written at least one 'nook. At present Miss Badger is working for her PhD degree in Biochemistry at Cincinnati. She writes that she is doing much experimental work with animals, and that she is raising a family of cancerous mice—as well as teaching Biochemistry to medical students. , The group also heard from Poole '36, who is a Pierre P. senior in the College of Medicine at Duke University, ter's action from becoming arbitrary or unjust. In this wav Dairyman Jones, Laundryman Smith, and the other violators called before such agencies are entitled to a reasonable and fair °{■ notice of the charges made °* I against them, and they are also entitled to a fair hearing before the administrative boards. "A fair hearing usually means at least the right to counsel and the right to answer thc evidence and charges made against them. If the agency does not grant the^e rights, then the courts will disregard the order of the agency when the case comes lie fore them on an appeal. In this way the offender has an opportunity for a just trial." ANNOUNCEMENT A11 students except seniors are urged to make appointments for Hatter pictures immediately, according to Editor Dorothea Clarson. Only two weeks remain in which to complete the work.
