— a gila monster.
The 18-inch o ptile was shipped to Herbertson from Mexico by
Jack Cole, a former student here.

met with the same accusations.
This month a bit of a battle
has been raging over the appoint
ment of Bertrand Russell, profes
sor of philosophy at UCLA, lo
the faculty of City College of
Is'e v.York.
Like Socrates, Russell was
charged with atheism and cor
rupting the young. Russell’s ap
pointment was revoked by a rul
ing if Justice John McGeehan of
rice.- York, after complaints were
filed by Mrs. Kay, a Brooklyn
housewife who said he taught
imi:. -i and salacious doctrines.
E,i,-.se;v~ contract was to teach
mathematics and logic.
To the Daily Bruin. UCLA pa
pet, Russell said, "I am not as
intereste 1 in seK as is Bishop
Manning, who is greatly con
cerned with it. Sex is only a
small pvt of what 1 have writ
ten Bishop Manning and his sup
porters noticed only that part.”

Other college papers, we have a
tale t relate, it goes rather like
t Oomph giii Ann Sheridan
v attending a preview when a
UCLA student spied her. He ran
up to her, slipped handcuffs
a -uni her waist and his, and
theu swallowed the key. The ever
sell:-controlled, charming, intel
lectual Miss Sheridan said in a
so eet voice, "I ought to slap you
down.”
Eventually a locksmith was
summoned to remove the cuffs,

The student is happy. He won

orange specimen was described
by Herbertson as "a big. lazy
old fellow which I am fattening
up for about a month before I
use." Raw eggs are its favorite
diet.
After the gila monster has had
time to recover from his trip, he
will become the basis for one of
the most novel experiments on
record.
Little has been recorded as to
the physical make-up of the rep
tile, with many stories used to
explain the monster's unpleasant
odor and its poisonous character.
In order to establish a com
plete record, Herbertson plans to
conduct a dissection of the speci
men, and have the entire process
filmed in motion pictures by Ted
Kenyon. Emerald staff photogra
pher.
The gila monster will be on
display in the lower hall of Deady
as soon as its condition is de
clared “favorable” by Herbert
son.
