Ia public hearing will be held in le council chambers of Los An-lles City hall tomorrow morning.! Ui that time petitions, asking lat animal experimentation be led. from students, citizens, civic 1 iders, and medical authorities i 111 be considered.
lOre of the main arguments for; issage of the ordinance is that jsearch on heart disease depends |i use of animals in laboratory >rk.

Howard W. Patmore Registrar
president of the Los Angeles Junior Chamber of Commerce, the war against heart disease has been hampered, blocked, and practically sabotaged by antivivisectionist activity.”
Dr. Clinton H. Thienes, secretary of the Southern California Medical Research society, and professor of pharmacology at SC. has said that the antivivisectionists have “practically pushed heart research off the map” in Los Angeles.
“The situation where we have an urgent need for a few dogs and cats while thousands are being slaughtered uselessly would be ludicrous. if it weren't so tragic." Dr. Lewis T. Bullock, president of the Los Angeles Heart Association said.
“The citizens of Los Angeles not only must defeat all anti-vivisec-tionist proposals, but they hiust lend strong support to the law now recommended, if the vital work of heart research scientists is to continue.” he said.
Other prominent personalities backing the proposal are Monsignor O'Dwver, Rabbi Edgar Magnin. and Robert A. Miiiikan.
The ordinance is endorsed by the Los Angeles County Medical association. the Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Veteran’s Administration. the Veterinarians' association. the armed forces, the Board of Health commissioners, the State Nurses association, and the National Canine Research foundation.
Frank Roh plays the policeman who is the object of the radical's tirade against the police, tne rich, and social injustice. Roh also ap-peread in "Fanny” and is a graduate student.
Other minor characters in the scene include the two girls of the street, played by Nancy Brannon and Corinne Chernin. and their pick-ups, played by Gene Hardy and Bud Appleton.
Miss Brannon and Miss Chernin played the co-leads in the Experimental theater production of “Clarissa.” last month. Miss Chernin has appeared in Bovard produc-Morn to Midnight,” and has done Little theater work in Arizona and Texas and semi-professional radio acting in Texas.
Miss Brannon may be remembered for her excellent performance in “Anna Christie” last year. She also has appeared in 12 Experimental theater productions at SC, and has performed with the Huntington Park Civic theater.
Hardy also is a veteran of last month's production of the Shaw play. He played in “Antigone” last year and has appeared in three Stop-Gan productions, "Portrait of a Madonna.” “Fumed Oak.” and “Pan. Pan Is Dead.'*
This will be Appleton's first performance on the Bovard stage. He is a transfer student from the University of Chicago. Since he has been here he has worked with the stage crew and on make-up. While with a Shakespearean group in Chicago, Appleton played the leading l-ole in “Othello” and Macduff in “Macbeth."
John Blaisdell appears as a hobo in the street scene. Fellow drama students consider Blaisdell a good make-up artist. He also has proved capable in the field of acting and directing.
Veteran of many a Bovard production. Fayne Blackburn plays the apple vendor. Miss Blackburn is a transfer student from Oiegon State college where she played Lady Mac-bcth in the Shakespeare production.
Victor Barton, who plays the organ grinder, spent two years studying dramatics at the American Academy of Dramatic Art in New York and the California State Theater university in Pasadena.
"I discovered acting wasn't my field." he said, “so Ini majoring in public administration at SC.”
Dean Pic'l last week came away from the Pacific Forensic League meeting at University of Oregon with one first and two second prizes.
Dale Drum boosted SC's tally by winning third place in the extemporaneous contest.
Pic'l gained top honors with his after-dinner speech, “The Sedate South Sells Out to Slick Politicians.”
He took second place in the oratory contest and also took second in the one-man debate—the only event in which both SC men were entered.

The resolution, issued by Bernard L. Ilyink, dean of students, reads:	*
“f ar one week after the consideration of this case by the Facult> committee the Daily Trojan will print a statement which will inform the guilty person (or person.® ) that if he does not report his ant to the Counselor of Men the case will be turned over to the Los Angeles police for investigation.”
If the guilty persons report to Dr. Zech, they will face a penalty ranging anywhere from probation to possible expulsion.
If the case is turned over to the police and the thief is found guilty of burglary and grand larceny, the penalty will be from one to five years imprisonment.
“Mr. Padgett was supposed to wreck the fraternity system. I've seen no indications of this as yet. Mr. Padgett was supposed to make : all independent appointments. I've | seen only one, Frank O'Sullivan.” He reiterated that he did not think Unity was perfect. “I am not criticizing the GUP only,” he said. “There are plenty of things wrong in Unity, too.”
Buckberg emphasized that he was speaking only for himself, and not for his fraternity, Tau Delta Phi. He said he would repeat his charges the first time he gets a chance to speak before a large assembly of students, such as at an election rally.
Blood Drive Going Strong; Red Cross Calls New Donors
Student Lounge
. . . will be closed at noon today in preparation for the AWS Mother's day tea.
Willard hall is lacking in sanitary and recreational facilities. The dorm is “dreary” and below the standards of comfort, according to the report.
Aeneas .hall is worse than Willard. Scoilin said, although low morale was evident in botn.
ONCE REDECORATED
As a condition in the renewal of Willard’s lease last year, the administration insisted that the owners redecorate the house. The redecoration left much undone, however,. Scoilin said.
Student officials and administrative heads of the men’s dorms were interviewed by the committee, which consists of Scoilin, Ruk, Stoddard, and Bob Griffen.
The deplorable conditions are a danger to both the health and morale of the men who live in the halls, the committee stated.
Present facilities house 277 of the total male enrollment of 12.000 at SC. Mrs. Eunice Messent, director of university housing, pointed out that the standards of private housing in the area are so far below par that they are dangerous to students.
NO NEW PLANK
A university official explained that at present the university has no immediate plans for new men’s housing, but a men’s quadrangle is included in the general future plan.
Committee recommendations that were accepted by tlie Senate include action by the Senate to remedy the conditions in the dormitories.
Mentioned as one remedial aid was the inauguration of a fundraising campaign to build new dormitories as soon as possible.
SHOULD BUY DORMS
Scoilin suggested in the report that the outright purchase of Aeneas and Willard by the university would correct the present condition.
Mrs. Messent also called the transfers of fraternity men at the end of rushing periods a cause of unstable morale and organizational conditions. Sororities have deferred pledging until the end of the semester to help ease the situations, she explained.
The report ended with a request to the fraternities to investigate their rushing practices in deference to school residences.
Scribe Inspects Aeneas Hall
by JOE DIGLES
I sat in the lobby of Aeneas hall yesterday afternoon just looking around.
Some flies buzzed lazily about in the center of the room as I leaned back in an iron-armed chair. Residents of the hall, coming and going from afternoon classes, rushed by brushing the flies away.
Most of the traffic, oddly enough, came and went through the “back doors"—two french doors that led out to a rear ropch made of metal and resembling a fire escape landing.
Lighting for the lobby is supplied by five chandeliers. They consist of
a series of unshaded lightbulbs, many of which are missing.
A walk up to the second floor was almost hazardous. No overhead lighting is provided for the stairs which creaks occasionally. The dull green wills did nothing to brighten up my dark passage upstairs.
At the head of the stairs two green trash cans stood, filled to the brim, one with the lid off. Other trash cans were placed strategically at various points in the H-shaped passageways of the second floor.
I knocked on a door just off the head of the stairs and introduced myself to a student who was busy pouring over a textbook.
‘This room is one of best in Aeneas.” he said when I asked him about living conditions in the hall. Two iron Navy bunks up against the walls, ‘a black table, and a pair of bureaus comprised the furniture. Behind the door was a washbasin and small mirror.
"There are only two of us in this room but most of the others have three crammed into the same space.” he said. “That’s too many to get any studying done.”
"Down the hall they have a shower room with about four nozzles in rooms on the second floor are serv-it,!' he added. Approximately 20 it. Not bad after you get used to iced by the showers.
I took a look at the showers. I found not four but five shower-(Continued on Page 4)

W. E. Cannon
Director of Student Teaching
“The Red Cross blood drive opened on a very encouraging note, but many more donations are needed,” said Paul Parrish, campus drive chairman yesterday.
“Women donors outnumber the men so far.” he added.
Appeals are being made to all students and campus organizations to help SC attain it^ goal of 300 dcnors. UCLA donors recently gave 154 pints.
Officials have explained that the donation of a pint of blood is no more strain on the system than an afternoon of exercise.
Mobile units will be set up in 116 Annex Thursday and will be open to donors from 1-5 p.m. All students and faculty members between 18 and 25 are eligible.
The booth in front of the Student Union will be open from 10-4 today and tomorrow for signups.

Welfare Drive Doubles Effort
More than 17 per cent of the $11,400 goal of the week-old United Jewish welfare fund drive on cam- ; pus has been collected, Eli Gold-farb, one of the drive captains announced yesterday.
Each Jewish student on campus will be contacted individually this
week in an all-out effort to put the drive over the top, Goldfarb said at a meeting of the 50 student workers in the campaign. Workers pledged themselves to redouble their efforts to meet the goal.
The campus movement is part of the nationwide United Jewish appeal drive. Seventy percent of the
funds collected at SC and elsewhere will go to aid Jews overseas. The other 30 per cent will be spent nationally and locally.
Students who wish to contribute to the drive may do so at Hillel house. Contributions may be made in the form of pledges payable during the coming year.
