Dec. 31, 1972, termination
date for U.S. involvement in
Indochina combat, was
tentatively scheduled for floor
action Wednesday or Thursday.
In the House, where the
Foreign Affairs Committee is
under injunction to draft an
antiwar amendment as a result
of action by the Democratic
caucus last week, a vote is
scheduled Wednesday on a
resolution by Rep. Bella M.
Ab/.ug, D-N.Y., directing the
administration to furnish
detailed reports on troop
strength, the target date for
completion of the Vietnami-
zation program and other
information about the war in
Indochina.
Opposed by the administra
tion on grounds it would
expose sensitive information to
the enemy, the measure is
expected to be defeated, but
will provide the House with a
forum for debate on the war.
The Senate amendment
would cut off appropriations
for “land, sea or air” warfare
by U. S. forces after that date
on the condition North
Vietnam releases all prisoners
of war and accounts for the
missing.

Vet students get practical work
By MARY SWINT
If Old MacDonald did
indeed have a farm located
near Athens with a cow, horse,
pig or sheep in need of medical
treatment, he could turn to the
University’s College of Veterin
ary Medicine.
The college runs a teaching
hospital which is divided into a
companion animal section and
the larger but less well-known
food, animal and equine
section.
Through the receiving area
a large yellow sign greets the
visitors and patients; the black
letters announce that cows,
horses, hogs and sheep will be
admitted during certain hours of
the afternoon.
Four ambulances, manned
by doctors and students are
available for farm calls. Senior
veterinary students play a vital
role in maintaining the medical
t acility, which serves as a
raining ground for them, in
addition to being a self
supporting institution.
FIFTY-NINE students
r ork in the hospital
ne-third are assigned to the
pathology lab, small animals
and the food and equine
section. Beginning in the
summer before the senior year
at vet school, each student is
required to attend an
orientation program at the
hospital.
Each quarter, then, he
rotates until ne has served in
each section. As the student
becomes more familiar with
medical procedures and
graduation draws near, more
responsibility is placed on the
interns.
When a new patient is
admitted it is assigned to a
student who finds out the
medical history and follows the
particular case, under a
veterinarian's supervision, until
the patient is dismissed.
On the average, 30 to 35
cows and horses are kept in the
large brick facility on the first
floor of the Veterinary School,
which has a capacity of 42.
The most common cases
involve labor and pneumonia in
cattle and lameness in horses.
STILL OTHER patients are
treated in a maze of metal bars
at one entrance and sent
immediately home without
using the indoor stalls.
When an occasional sheep
or pig is admitted, it gets a pen
in the cattle section.
The school keeps about 15
horses and about a dozen
healthy cattle. “The students
can see what is normal in
animals in order to know what
is abnormal in animals,” said
Dr. J. D. Morton, of the
College of Veterinary Medi
cine.
An emergency service is
available all day and night
every day of the year, a
skeleton crew works on
weekends and the ambulance
crew serves a 25-mile radius on
24-hour rotation.
are treated by modern surgical
techniques and drugs. There is
a treatment room for horses,
an anatomy room and a large
operating room. The students
can view surgery on video tape,
rather than from the concrete
bleachers which still stand
before the large pneumatic

Penologist to speak
on prison reforms
Penologist Thomas Murton
will speak tonight in Memorial
Hall in connection with a
Union-sponsored symposium
on prison reform.
Murton, who has taught
criminology at several univer
sities, will speak on “Reform
or Revolution” in Memorial
Ballroom at 8 p.m. Murton is
the author of “Accomplice to
the Crime,” and has visited
prisons throughout the United
States and Canada.
“The Cage,” a dramatic
play presented by ex-convicts,
was staged Monday night in
Memorial. The play is a
dramatic one-act portrait of
prison existence.
cally or hallucinogenically
induced.
To illustrate this contempo
rary application of the play,
Kahan has chosen to approach
the play from a “primitive”
point of view rather than a
classical Greek angle. T he stark
and grim nature of the play
lends itself to the primitive
approach as it dramatizes
human experience through
Greek eyes. The story of a
woman “psychotically dis
turbed" is explained by its
author Eruipidcs as a story of a
woman “possessed.” Without
modern psychological studies
Euripides has explained the
irrational behavior of man in
the only way he could

against the languid god,

contrasted with the outlandish
Asiatic livery of the Bacchante,
the angry, impetuous, heavy-

THE PLAY is a constant
conflict of the rational with te
irrational But beyond this
contrast is resemblances, and it
is this resemblance with which
the director Dr Gerald Kahan
proposes to deal.
