Cut-ups Enliven Vivisection Debate

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Allegedly placed there by "thirty students," a papier mache elephant's head adorned the center of the restrum, and signs--of which "Save an Elephant! Volunteer Today! Be Personally Vivisected!" is representative were on the walls.

Undaunted, however, by the unusual situation, the debaters went ahead. Rep. Sherman Miles, co-sponsor of the bill, and Dr. John F. Conlin of the Massachusetts Medical Society, held that the measure was necessary for medical progress.
