“Hold-up” man Phil Debriere beat the rap with perjured timony Friday at a two-and-one-half hour mock trial in law school auditorium.
Debriere, of course, wasn’t really involved in a robbery the Commons basement fountain. The whole thing was
part of a carefully plr-ned exer jcise arranged by the School of Law and thte Daily Trojan to provide experience for SC s fledgling | lawyers.
The phony testimony was part of the act to confuse the 12-member jury about the facts of the case. Debrieres alibi that he was ; swimming all afternoon was sup-! ported by two friends, Jim Conk-jlin and Jerry Halvorsen.

Deadline for petitions for appointive positions in the YWCA has been extended until Friday at 3:15. Girls with petitions outstanding are urged to turn them in immediately. Interviews will be held through the week of Apr. 23.
Only two days remain to sign up as a blood donor for the mobile unit which will be on campus Wednesday and Thursday. Blood drive workers will begin this morning to enlist the final 200 donors to fill the 600-pint quota.
The sign-up table in front of the Student Union will be manned from 9 to 3 today and tomorrow.
Ann Dillon and Phil De Briere. co-chairmen of the drive, report that the quota will be met only if individual students turn out. AROTC and NROTC units have accounted for 263 of the 400 donors pledged, and the School of Law and Phi Kappa Psi fraternity have enlisted 50.
“Actually.” Miss Dillon said, “only 90 signups have been taken at the table. This will have to be more than doubled if we are to meet the quota.”
The mobile unit will be located in the social hall in the basement of Town and Gown. Donors can still have a choice of hours.
Miss Dillon urged students to become paid-up members of the Red Cross’ blood bank insurance group.
“We all may take advantage of the 24-hour blood service whether we donate or not,” she said, “but unless enough of us pay the ‘premium’ the Red Cross cannot continue the plan.” -
Under the program, any student or faculty member or member of their families may receive blood from the Red Cross blood center. If the person gives blood while in school, he is eligible for the service after leaving SC. The blood bank in Los Angeles is open day and night and may be reached by calling DU 45261,
