Cut-ups Enliven Vivisection Debate

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Four speakers waded through an assortment of posters and animal exhibits before they could present their views on the Noleu-Miles Bill in New Lecture Hall last night.

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.

The opponents, Edwin W. Radley, president of the Anti-Vivisection Society of America, and Walter F. Costello, treasurer of the same organization, attacked the bill on legal grounds.
