3-School Rally Staged to Boost Proposition C
A three-way push was given for Proposition C, the' initiative which would release unwanted pound animals for medical research, at a recent rally backed by the Schools of Pharmacy, Medicine, and Dentistry.
The Bovard meeting was called to urge students in the three schools to assist in the dissemination of information on the proposed city ordinance.
Approximately 700 students heard George Morrison, executive director of the Medical Research Association of California and Clinton Thienes. chairman of the department of pharmacology, explain what must be don® put over Proposition C.
Deans Urge Passage
Alvah G. Hall, dean of the School of Pharmacy; James N. DeLamatet. associate dean of the School of Medicine; and Robert Rutherford head of the department o' basic sciences in the School of Dentistry, each gave a brief talk asking students to aid in the task of passing the proposition.
‘‘Passage of this ordinance is one of the jobs we have to do before we can go to work in our professions,” said DeLamater.
60,000 Unclaimed Animals
Proposition C would release for medical research approximately 10 per cent of the 60.000 unclaimed animals received yearly in the city pounds.
Passage of the ordinance has been urged by many leading scientific, labor, civic, and social groups including the PTA and the City and State Boards of Public Health.
According to an article by Dr. John L Goffin. health director of Los Angeles city schools, medical research with animals has more than tripled man's average life span in three centuries.

One of the boots is on the lady's foot while the other is gracefully held aloft on her outstretched hand.
No theories have been advanced I and the DT has been unable to obtain a statement from the lady.

Competent observers assured us that she is not subversive.
