Outwits TV Quiz Panel
By LYNNE KEGGIARDO
You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time . . .
Abe Lincoln said it.
Allen Young tried it.
Young, a member of the USC basketball squad, stumped the panel on the CBS television program, “To Tell the Truth,” Monday night.
The program pits three contestants, each claiming to be the same person, against a panel who must guess which of the three is telling the truth.
Wrong One Chosen
Monday night, the panel chose the wrong Allen Young, and the real Young split a $1,000 prize with the other two contestants.
Guests on the program are chosen for having done something unusual, and Young, who spent 30 days in bed last summer in a space flight experiment, was eligible.
“The producers wanted one of us to come to New York and be on the show,” Young said. “I happened to be the one they picked.”
Space Conditions
The experiment simulated conditions of a space flight, where astronauts must lie flat for a length of time.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration paid USC to conduct the ex periment with a group of student volunteers.
After arriving in New York, where the program is produced, Young met the two (Continued on Page 2)

DRESSED AS DROPS
Women Aid in Drive To Draw USC Blood
Four students from Mount St. Mary’s College are touring the USC campus dressed as blooddrops.
The women, wearing white sheets with large blooddrops painted on them, are publicizing the Red Cross Blood Drive.
The volunteers will be at the University Methodist Church and at various other places on campus during the remainder of the week. They also have signs saying “I gave, did you ?” and “I am a donor.”
The blood drive is being sponsored on campus by the Knights. Donations will be accepted through tomorrow.
The Methodist Church is located at 814 W. 34th St. Hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Roger Rosendahl, the Knights member in charge of the drive, says he feels students aren’t aware of the personal advantages to be gained by contributing.
“The blood given is put under the donor’s name by the Red Cross. He then has free lifetime access to the blood for himself and members of his family.
Chan Ball, a dormitory 'counselor, said “In my opinion, it’s stupid not to give blood. The blood is worth $25 a pint and if it takes me 10 minutes then I’m making $150
an hour. It’s a small amount of time for the insurance.”
More than 130 pints of blood were donated yesterday, although more students showed up to donate. About 20 per cent were turned away because of health reasons.
- One hundred twenty - five students donated blood Tuesday. This was more than double the amount for the first day of last year’s drive.
Contests between sororities, fraternities, dorms and service groups are also being held to promote participation. Several trophies are being given for organizations with the most donations and the highest percentage of donations.

The importance of urban renewal to the university was emphasized by Prof. Richard Tibby, speaking for the Planning Committee.
Action has been postponed until after the city elections, but will resume in the summer, he said.
Danger of Poison To Be Broadcast
The School of Pharmacy is using the radio to help publicize National Prevent Poison Week in the Los Angeles area.
Professor Edward Brady will speak on various means of preventing pqison in the home on KNX radio this afternoon at 2:50.
Harold Washington, a senior in pharmacy and president of the American Pharmacy Association, spoke on a similar topic on KDAY Tuesday.
Noting that more than a half-million children are accidentally poisoned in homes each year, Brady says,
is candy is extremely dangerous.”
He emphasizes that children in the 5-or-under age group are completely dependent upon adults for protection.
“It is tragic that so many children must be poison victims, and even more tragic when 509 must die,” he says.
“But we can stop our children from playing with poisons with a little thought and attention.”
