Dean Bogardus Gets Honor Degree
BOSTON. Mar. 14—<l.E>—Dr. Emery S. Bogardus, dean emeritus of University of Southern California’s graduate school. was awarded an honorary doctor of law degree by Boston university today
The prize Eugene O. Murman collection of color slides depicting “danceable” and “camiverous” plants illustrated the Allan Hancock foundation natural science lecture given last night by Dr .Louis C. Wheeler.
Wheeler, associate professor of botany, described the plants which use animal flesh for nutrition. In order to be classed as carniverous the plants must capture their prey and absorb the material after digestion.
The plants may have active or passive traps, Wheeler said. Active traps imprison the insects in a steel or mouse-type trap. Passive traps snare the victims with a sticky, adhesive substance around the pitcher part of the plant.
Nature has given plants with passive traps bright colors, nectar, glistening mucilage, or sweet odors with which to trap the victims.
The only camiverous plant in southern California is the bladderwort. It is the largest of the plants and thrives in water. Its trap is lightning-fast—capable of catching a victim in one-thirtieth of a second.
The California pitcher plant, found in northern California and ; southern Oregon, is the only plant which does not sccrete enzymes to aid digestion. It depends on bacteria to break down the insects, which are absorbed into the plant's I walls.
The sun dew plant, of which there are 90 species, has tentacles which enclose the insect and ab-; sorb it.
The Venus fly trap, native to North and South Carolina, has leaf bristles, called trigger hairs, which trap the victim.
I A minute plant can escape, but the Venus fly trap prefers only the meatier insects anyway, Wheeler said.
Stealing from ctrs to the tune of $1000 per month has not decreased since the first warning issued by Dr. Albert Zech, counselor of men.
This warning was repeated by Dr. Zech and Det. Sgt. Walter Koepp, University station, as thefts continue to cause concern.
Sergeant Koepp advised that all thefts be reported to police immediately in order to furnish leads and establish the patterns by which the thieves are operating.
“All too many cases either go unreported or are reported too late to be of value,” he said.
Dr. Zech estimated that “fully 80 per cent”” of thefts on campus are unreported.
“We cannot expect police to do an efficient job,” he said, “as long as students neglect to keep them informed. The campus force cannot be expected to successfully curb large scale operations. The first step should always be to notify University station,” Zech said.
“Valuable articles left exposed in a locked car are a direct invitation,” said Koepp. “If they must be left there, caution should be taken to keep them hidden. When the bait is attractive enough,” he added, “even a locked car is no problem to the professiohal thief.”
Parking Area Survey Drags
A special ASSC Senate meeting has been called for Friday noon by President Bob Padgett to validate the election commissioner's report and to hear Robert Kelly, national president of NSA.
The 20-year-old Kelly is in Southern California to attend the NSA Inter-Campus Conference on International Affairs to be held this weekend at Occidental college.
NSA's president is a senior at St. Peter’s college in New Jersey. He is past national champion of the American Legion oratorical contest, and is regional parliamentarian of the National Federation of Catholic colleges and schools.
Padgett said that Kelly will give an explanation of the NSA, its aims, purposes, and programs. The ASSC president said the meeting would be open and that he would like to see everyone come to hear what Kelly has to say.
Sandwiches and coffee will be served to the solons.
The World Student Service fund’s share of the Trojan chest was estimated to be $2000 by Lois Wollenweber, chairman of the WSSF committee. Of this amount, she said, about $150 will go toward the displaced persons project.

DP aid on the campus is continuing, according to the project chairman. Miss Wollenweber said she would like to contact students interested in serving on next year's DP committee. Most of the work
is of an orientation nature, she said.
Miss Wollenweber said there is a DP on campus at the present time who is desperately in need of a job. She asks anyone who can suggest employment opportunities for this person, to contact the YWCA office.
“Since the publicity we have received on the DP project in conjunction with the WSSF, I have been swamped with calls for aid. There is a real need locally for this kind of help.
“There is another DP in this area whom we would like to help. If we could manage to get her a scholarship, it would add another to the three we already have contracted to bring from New York,” Miss Wollenweber said.

Tabulation Of Returns Is Tonight
Apathy hung so heavy, on this first day of election to fill the senator-at-large post vacated by Richard Podmore, that two election workers brought newspapers and knitting to stave off boredom.
Only 692 students had voted up to 10 minutes before the polls closed on the first day of voting, according to an unofficial count.
The election will continue today at EVK, 666 West 36th street. Polls will be open from 9 ajn. to 4 p.m.
Part of the reason for the light vote yesterday may be the belief of some graduate students that they are ineligible to vote, Andy Anderman, election commission member, said yesterday.
PADGETT SAYS
Bob Padgett, ASSC president, urged all students to get to the polls today so that whichever candidate is elected will feel that he has the backing of the student body.
Candidates’ platforms and sample ballot on Page 4.
George Prusseli, president of the Knights, said, “the turnout is pathetic. I urge every student, regardless of party affiliation, to vote.”
Howard Kotler and Hal Carter, candidates for the vacant senatorial seat, appeared together during the afternoon to cast their ballots. They complimented Bob Reynolds on the way the election was being conducted.
The ballot boxes containing yesterday’s votes were sealed by the election commissioners, and locked in a safe after the polls were closed last night.
EENY, MEENY, MINY
Tonight the votes will be counted. Earl C. Bolton, who is assisting Dean Hyink with student activities, has reserved a room where the counting will take place in the presence of the ASSC election commission, the senate investigation committee, and two representatives of each political faction.

Students enrolled in LAS who will complete the two year prepharmacy requirements by June and plan to apply for admission to the School of Pharmacy in September are requested to notify the Registrar’s office by April 1. Supplementary app'ications required of all pharmacy applicants may be obtained at the office of the School of Pharmacy or at the Office of Admissions.

In a move to block passage of an anti-vivisectionist ordinance in the City council, students in the Schools of Pharmacy, Dentistry, and Medicine, circulated petitions yesterday calling for the passage of an ordinance of their own.
The student petitions demanded that the council approve an ordi-I nance allowing approved, research | institutions to obtain unclaimed | pound animals.
“It is imperative that every student and organization with an in-; terest in medical research act now to stop the anti-vivisectionists from influencing the council with their demands,” said Ted Econome, School of Pharmacy president.
The ordinance desired by antivivisectionists would make it a misdemeanor to obtain unclaimed pound animals for purposes of medical research.
“Nothing could be more senseless than the present situation. Onr Lax ;.ii)p>. cf;i in:;l; till ion such a I
UCLA pays exorbitant prices foi research animals while thousands of animals are being uselessly destroyed in another tax-supported institution,” Econome said.
He called upon all campus organizations to support the drive for signatures, so the council would learn the wishes of citizens.
Skull and Mortar, pharmacy service organization, will collect petition signatures until Friday. Petitions also will be circulated in each house on the Row.
Students in the schools of Pharmacy, Dentistry, and Medicine, mailed more than 2000 personal letters last October to the Board of Supervisors protesting its action in closing the county pounds to research groups.
The vote upon the anti-vivisectionist ordinance in the City council is expected to be a close one. The Board of Animal Regulation, which studied the problem split sharply, two against two, in its recoin mend a tion.
