Animal-lovina stL g By Ann Farmer A USC student rescued a puppy from three young men who were beating it this weekend. At about 9:30 p.m. Saturday, a young man, who asked not to be identified, was walking along Assembly Street when he said he heard a dog whimpering. In the park at Assembly and Greene streets, three youths were dragging a small dog around and kicking it, he said.

Simmons Arthritis Research Center at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, announced nlans for the oroiect. A $7.5 million donation for research to the arthritis center started the school looking for a partner in the project. After visiting the lab at USC's department of microbiology and immunology, Ziff said, "I know this is the place that has the knowhow."

The youths wanted $100, and after bartering for a while he said he gave them $30 and took the puppy. "They took the rope off and left. I untied the shirt and picked him up. He was shaking and quivering and whimpering," the student said. HE SAID he carried the puppy to a bench in front of the South Carolina Bookstore and sat with him and petted him until he stopped shaking and whimpering. Then he took him home.

Rheumatism applies to a variety of disorder: characterized by inflammation and degeneration ol tissue-connecting joints and muscles. Two of th< most widely known disorders are rheumatoid ar thritis and rheumatic heart disease. Ankylosing spondylitis, which attacks the spin* of young men and eventually prevents them fron walking upright, is one of the disorders that interes Ziff and Fox. A breakthrough on even one kind of rheumati< disease would be a major event because all o rheumatic diseases are similar, Fox said. students, teachers and administrators at all levels education. 1 also lived through two earthquakes, a plagi hailstorms, sandstorms and a bitterly cold winter northern China. nimi.u.^uii.u.iM 11 i m ill" 1|1 111M l.* 1111 Bflm&Uiffli B |gwzy iliiiiiiili? rrjcir*e^KilL IIUTfiRV Cor?i??
