X-Ray to Help Reptile Study
A new low-voJtage X-ray may enable scientists to learn more about the skeletal structure of reptiles, says Dr. Richard E. Etheridge, who has just been | awarded a $4500 fellowship for researcn in that field.
Dr. Etheridge, a member of University College faculty, men- | tioned that the low voltage X- j ray was first developed for ifish j study and that this is the first time it has been used for re- : search on reptiles.
The new method using only 25 kilovolts, requires about 10 to 20 minutes exposure, but produces a much sharper picture than a normal X-ray of between 60 and 90 kilovolts taken in only a few seconds. Dr. Etheridge explained.
Dr. Etheridge will collect horned toads, fence lizards and chuckwallas in the southw-est and X-ray them for possible new information on their skeletal structure.

Caldwell Tells Faculty Group Building Plans
Students, Faculty Organize Campus Chapter of ACLU
By JUDY ASHKENAZY Dally Trojan Feature Editor
A concern for the preservation of civil liberties inside and outside the university has led SC students and faculty members to form a campus chapter of the American Civil Liberties. Union, a national organization dedicated to the preservation of the Bill | of Rights and the Constitution. I Initiated three weeks ago by student Richard Perle and Assistant FYofessor of Cinema Melvin Sloan, the organization will hold its third meeting on Wednesday at 4:45 p.m. in 108 Cinema Building.
Discussion Groups Acting as director of the .group. Perle said “that student chapters can make valuable contributions through programs of discussion and explanation, designed to make the public aware of the status of student civil i libertin.
“We hope this year to sponsor conferences, seminars, debates and discutions on issues vital to our individual freedoms,” he stated.
Sloan, faculty adviser, emphasized that the gradual loss of student freedoms through apathy Is a very real and very grave problem to the ACI.U. lie added that, while in its formative sMges, the SC chapter will need the support of m?ny students.
The ACUJ believes that students should he offered oppor-tuiuty to participate in the total
work of the educational institution.
“Participation in the planning and evaluation of the educational process, and in the general activity of the university, would be a direct incentive toward a sense of responsibility to the institution,” Perle said.
It is imperative that the policies and regulations of an institution which relate to student education and campus life be set forth in specific terms .
Vague Standards
Conversely, vague standards such as “the best interest of the college, and vague procedures such as provision merely for a “hearing" when a W’rong has been committed should be replaced by exact and detailed i statements.
Wherever reasonable and possible, the ACLU will encourage students to participate in the ! formulation of such statements,
; Perle explained.
There are four principal areas of student initiative and organization in which the principles just listed are most often tested against the problems which arise.
“Student government, along with student organizations and the students generally, should be free, without penalty, to discuss, pass resolutions and take oilier lawful action respecting any matter which directly or indirectly concerns or affects them a« construed in the widest sense, within ihe bounds of common decency.
! The Academic Freedom Committee of the ACLU recognizes the complexity of the problem of maintaining a reasonable freedom of the press with regard to ' college newspapers and publica-■ tions
Free Pres*
While practices in colleges vary, there seems to be a general relationship between the administrative authorities and the student publication, Perle asserted.
1.	The students maintain an Independent publication electing their own staff, free to determine their own news and editorial policies.
2.	There exists a publication w'hose staff is elected by methods designated by, and subject to. the approval of a student-faculty committee.
Critical Tension
“It is obviously in the first of these categories that the greatest tension may arise, and it is equally obvious that only in the two categories can the student body get the practice in excercising the kind of freedom that American institutions of higher learning should endeavor to exemplify.
“If a college chooses to have a controlled press it must be mindful lhat it makes the institution responsible for all immaturities and inaccuracies that are often characteristic of undergraduate journalism,” Perlo said.
A new Faculty Club building costing $200,000 and providing the SC faculty with the most up-to-date of any faculty club facilities in the country will be completed in September 1960, Dr. Russell Caldwell, president of the faculty club, said today.
“A dream of more than 25 years will come true for our faculty w'hen this new building will appear on campus providing a faculty center that has always been lacking,” he said.
The new building has been made possible by individual Conations by members of the Board of Trustees.
“Another $50,000 is sought by the faculty to provide the new decor to match the building it* self,” Dr. Caldw’ell explained.
Plans for the building have already been approved and bids are being made at the present.
“Ground will likely be broken in January,” he said. “The building will be completed by the end of the summer of 1960. occupancy to follow immediately.”
This building will feature 11,-000 square feet of floor space. “Architects Quincy Jones and associates are Widely known as designers of attractive buildings of the type now' planned,” Dr. Caldwell said.
Talk Slated By Director
John H. McCoy, director of SC's School of Journalism, is scheduled to deliver the keynote address, as church leaders of the Presbytery of Los Angeles gather tonight to inaugurate a series of public relations workshops in the Southland.
The opening dinner meeting will be held at Presbyterian headquarter^. 1501 Wilshire-blvd., at 6 p.m.
A “blood and thunder” account of the old west will be the topic of the noon reading today at 12:30 by Dr. Drew Pallette, English professor in 129 FH.
Selections will be read from Horace Bell's “Reminiscences of a Ranger,” which was published in 1881. It was the first cloth bound book printed and published in Los Angeles.
“Bell gives a first-hand account of life during the pioneer days of California,” Dr. Pallette explained.
“He is a teller of tall tales who loves to give the ludicrous side of old pioneer days,” he added.
Some of Bell's writings came out under the name of Don Guil-lermo Emburstero Mentiroso, which literally translated means “liar.”
After coming w'est in 1850, Bell readily accepted the tough life of pioneer existence. He was a member of the local vigilantes, the Los Angeles Rangers.
During the Civil War, he worked as a Union spy in the west. He returned to civilian life as Major Horace Bell.
His writing experience was obtained when he took on double duties as a lawyer and a newspaper editor. His paper w*as the Porcupine in Los Angeles.
“Descriptions in ‘R e m i n i s-cences of a Ranger’ are as violent as the author himself. He portrays a rugged country in a rugged manner,” Dr. Pallette said.
In keeping with the semester theme of the English department noon readings, “Discoveries.” Dr. Pallette chose Bell's 'work because it is an interesting historical book that seems to have been forgotten by the public.
“The book isn’t a great literary work, and it isn't a book that historians pay much attention to, but it presents a lively account of old California that is readable to the general public,” Dr. Pallette said.
Several editions of the book have come out. with the latest being in the 1920s. However, Dr. Pallette will be reading from the first edition which is illustrated with colorful pictures of early-day Los Angeles.
Anyone interested in hearing excerpts from this work is invited to attend the reading.
Next week’s reading will be presented by Dr. Paul Hadley, a guest speaker for the English department.
He will be reading from Knut Hansun’s “Pan.”
Dr. Hadley is director of the LAS advisement office and an associate professor of International Relations.

Hypnosis May Help Dentistry
Hypnosis can be successfully used to make dental patients more relaxed and more comfortable, a Southern California dentist reported to members of the SC Dental Association last Friday.
Dr. Gilbert Stengart. a member of the Southern California Hypnodontic Society, told the dentists of the wide range of uses for hypnosis as they met at the Beverly-Hilton Hotel.
“Patients are not unconscious under hypnosis, and they don't surrender their will power to the opeartor,” Dr. Steingart explained.
He demonstrated actual hypnotic techniques on several volunteer patients, pointing out that there was no danger of the subject failing to be awakened.
“In the hands of the trained hypnodontist, hypnosis is a state of extreme relaxation and comfort,” he added.
Dr. Steingart also told of the misconceptions regarding hypnosis in the field of dentistry.
In addition to the demonstrations ,two Chicago demists discussed the problem of making dental work more acceptable to the public by shortening treatment time.
