Children Learn Under Hypnosis
There ma;- be merit in a new experiment in teaching that calls for instructors to purposely put their students to sleep, a USC professor believes.
Dr. Louis P. Thorpe, professor of education, said yesterday experiments in giving lessons while students are in a hypnotic sleep, conducted at the San Vicenzo Boarding School in Bergamo, Italy, are “inconclusive but encouraging.”
“It's a good beginning,” he said. ‘Maybe they will get somewhere.”
The Associated Press reports boys in the Roman Catholic boarding school listened to taped lessons through earphones after being put to sleep by hypnosis. Botli bright and slow students were able to-recite information perfectly and provide thoughtful interpretations. school officials reported.
White Gets IFC Report On Incident
A report prepared by the IFC Judicial on the recent water bombing incident on 28th Street was given to Vice President Mulvey White yesterday, IFC Adviser Jess Hill reported.
Assistant Dean erf Students Tom Hull, who reportedly received the document Monday, would make no statement.
“I know nothing about the report and I don’t want to comment on it now.” Hull said
White, who was not available for comment, received the report from the dean of students office.
Hill said the report contains complete information on the water balloon incident from start to finish. Members of IFC Judicial investigated the charge made by two USC women that water bombs thrown at them caused an automobile accident.
He explained that at the present no information regard ing the administrative acceptance of the report had been received.
“Everything is in progress now and we should hear something before long,” Hill said.
The investigation by the judicial body resulted in a dispute over whether a decision was made to padlock fraternities engaging in this type of “horseplay."
Hill said such “horseplay” must not impinge on the rights of private individuals.
Fraternities To Compete For Profits
William White, production manager of the drama department's forthcoming production of Thorton Wilder's ‘The Matchmaker,” issued a challenge yesterday to all USC fraternities.
He urged fraternities to compete in rival fund-raising drives to get half the profits from the Wilder play.
Groups of 25 or more may purchase blocks of 52 tickets at a 50 per cent discount and either keep them or sell them for the full price, he explained.
“Just think,” he said, “a proup of 200 students can earn SI 00 for themselves in hardly any time at all.”
The production will be staged !n Bovard
They said the boys seemed more relaxed in other classes and were able to learn more effectively.
Dr. Thorpe said hypnosis has been in use for several years as a scientific tool. It has effected removal of symptoms in medi cine, although it is not actually considered therapy.
Pain Remover Hypnosis has caused removal of pain in dentistry and medicine. and most recently during child birth, he noted.
Use in such a manner as in the Italian city is novel, he contended. The only process resembling this is teaching children lessons on records as they sleep at night, he said.
In this system it is necessary that the lessons begin as the child is falling asleep and that he have the intent of learning. It is not know'n why this process is ineffective for adults, he said.
The big difference tie tween the systems—hypnosis and records for children—is that the records do not cause learning to full capacity, Dr. Thorpe explained.
He said it cannot be definitely determinated yet whether hypnosis merely serves as the means to put the child to sleep or whether it actually increases learning power.
Unconscious Mario Bellini, Italian hypnotist who conducted the experiments. had claimed hypnosis puts the “conscious element of the brain to sleep and acts upon the unconscious element.
“All external impressions that usually disturb the conscious mind—such as environment, fear before the teacher, distractions of many kinds, and personal frustrations—are all entirely eliminated,” he said.
In one lesson, a poem was heard by the sleeping boys through their earphones. Each was subsequently able to recite the poem without an error.
Dr. Thorpe said this start by the Italians can prove of significant value in the future but that it is too early to come to definite conclusions on the matter.
Bellini, explaining the usefulness of hypnosis, said an athlete can lose 75 per cent of his efficiency through tension. Hypnosis before a game or during breaks could eliminate this, he said.

Rechnitzer’s topic will be “The Exploration of Inner Space.” He is expected to explain some of the research his company has been doing in this area.
ASSC Leaders Will Discuss Proposed Vote
Plans for conducting a referendum of the entire student body to determine whether students would consent to a free bill assessment for a $1.5 million expansion of the Student Union will be discussed at the Executive Cabinet meeting today at 2:15 ASSC President Bart Leddel said the purpose of the referendum would be to obtain a "true survey” of student feelings on the assessment, which would involve the addition of $5 a year to fee bills.
A plan was suggested by a Student Union Planning Commission last year, but was turned down by President Topping because he wanted a "true sam pie of student opinion” on the matter, Leddel said.
Student Vote To meet the president's re* quirement, 51 per cent of the total student body would have to vote and 51 per cent of the voters would have to approve the assessment for it to be effective, Leddel explained Since usually only about 10 to 15 per cent of the entire student body vote in spring elections, the referendum will not be taken during the spring elections.
It will be conducted either through the mail or by circulating a petition among the stu dent body, Leddel said.
The student president said he has conucted other univer sities with student - financed unions to get the ideas for the proposed USC structure.
He recently visited UCLA and the University of California at Berkeley to inspect their student unions.
Union Addition The Master Plan makes provisions for an addition to the present Student Union to be located between Stonier Hall and the Science Building.
Leddel said he felt everyone was aware of the needed facilities for student meetings and recreation.
If the students decide to approve the assessment the needed facilities will be constructed much earlier than they are now scheduled in the Master Plan, he added.

Educator Will Speak
The philosophy of speech education will be discussed at the Faculty Center luncheon today at noon by Dr. Andrew Thomas Weaver, past president of the National Association of Teachers of Speech.
Dr. Weaver was cited by Delta Sigma Rho fraternity in 1956 as “a pioneer and a stai-art in the speech profession,” “His many scholarly articles, books, teaching and speeches have earned for him that respect and renown accorded to only a few," the citation reads.
The educator was editor of Quarterly Journal of Speech and has co-authored several books.

Blood Drive Falls Short; Total Reaches 571 Pints
Kenner and Larry Stein helped pace USC to another forensic victory last weekend while sweeping the Pacific South west Spring Debate champion ships at San Fernando Valley State College.
