Hindman Tells Need of Skid-Rowites
(Editor's note: This is the first or h two-part series concerning slum and Skid-Row problems in Eos Angeles.)
By JUDY ASHKENAZY
Go down to Temple St., visit 1hc liars on Main St., lour 5th St. in downtown Los Angeles and \ou'll see the homeless, the destitute outcasts of society.
You're right around the corner from the Civic Center, you're on Skid-Row not a very pleasant place.
In pari its citizens are composed of men who ha\e met with society's ceaseless frustrations and have turned to alcohol for a solution, said Dr. Wilbert L. Hindman, professor of administration.
Dr. Hindman, secreiary of the Los Angelos chapter of the Volunteers of America, is in charge of that organization's service center on Skid-Row. Here the men come to wash their clothes, take a hot bath, receive counseling advice and. if they wish, aid in vocational placement.
Strides are b?ing taken in the rehabilitation of ihese men. however. Dr. Hindman reports that an attempt has ljeen made by the Los Angeles Police Department in their Saugus Rehabilitation Center.
Called the “country club for drunks.” the center is a very well run reasonably pleasant place for 600 men who are sent there for a three month sentence.
•Alter their sentence is up. these men are released with no money and little psychological counseling. Thus, odds favor them becoming, once again, nonsupporting members of Skid-Row." said Dr. Hindman.
"The grcatesl need.” he reports. "is for psychological counseling and vocational training tor the men who show desire to sta\ away from Skid-Row conditions."
Dr. Hindman hastens to point out that not all people living in the slum area are excessive chronic-drinkers. Some are tran-s'ents low on luck. For them, the Volunteers give job advice and baths if they want them. Many old, poor people on pensions who want to remain independent. find a home, of sorts, in this blighted area.
Tomorrow, the problems of these people will be considered.

(1) There are too many voting senators.
(2) The president should not president over the Senate.

They said it couldn’t be done Out two Daily Trojan editors, one senator-at-large and 25 Squires proved that a fake Daily Bruin could be distributed on the UCLA campus.
And to substantiate this claim 8000 copies of the UCLA co;lege newspaper, filled with articles praising SC, ! were delivered ot the Bruin campus last Friday at 9 a.m! Homemade Bruin Writetn by Joe Jares and Garry Short, managing editor and sports editor of the Daily Trojan, and Larry Lich-ty. senator-at-large, the homemade Daily Bruin was sub-stituted for a special 12-page football edition and it included pictures of SC President Norman Topping, the Mc-keever Twins and Dr. Paul Saltman.
The newspaper found a ready market in Westwood. Wounded Uclan cries of “Somehow they did it,” “You can't trust anyone any more,” and “I guess it was SC that, did it,” carried around the hysteria-ridden campus and Daily Bruin editor, Tom Welsh, looked the "first edition” over and said in vengeance, “If we win the game, I'll reprint this word for word.”
Rumors, Rumors But on the SC campus, jubilant accounts of what had happened were being spread by demonstration, rumor and sotry-telling.
Dr. Topping extended his official congratulations on the feat; Dr Robert G. Gordon, dean of students, said that “even students and administration at UCLA agree that this was a real coup. It is in the realm of creative college buffonery.”
The printing fee of S213 for a 10,000-copy edition, was paid for by student groups on campus and after a one month writing period and a two-week scouting period, all the SC planning had been timed to the minute.
50-50 Chance
Lichty said that even with this exact timing and careful planning, “we felt that we had a 50-50 chance to deliver the newspaper and a 50-50 chance to get off the
campus.”
The plan, almost abandoned the night before because of a rumor that UCLA had found out about the idea, was put into operation early Friday morning at 4.
Squires Ken Crossman and Tim Clark managed to get a bundle of the Daily Bruins from Dixon-Bell Press, where both papers are printed. Through some fast talking, they assured the printers that “we were sent here to guard the Daily Trojans, not to take the Daily Bruins.” Some Authentic With this bundle, Lichty took 16 stacks of the SC-made Daily Bruin and put four copies of each authentic papers on top of these bundles.
Ken Ballard, dressed in a driver’s suit, took over as the driver of the UCLA newspaper delivery truck while the real driver was treated to breakfast on fraternity row.
Ballard, with the 16 bundles of “fake” Bruins in his delivery truck, went over to the Westwood campus.
Good Morning Following the original route of the driver, he entered the campus at 8:20, smiled at a policeman, handed him his morning Daily Bruin, received a cordial thank you, and proceeded towards the adminstration building.
Lichty was waiting there. He untied one of the bundles and took it inside the building.
“A squire was stationed at each distributing box,’* Lichty said, “in case of trouble, but there was no trouble and we were not even stopped.”
Regular Copies The first Bruin readers received regular copies of the doctors examined, they found 15 | completely controlled conditions paper at 8:45 while the rest of the student body received
