English trials action involving 28
rider entries were sponsored Sun
day afternoon by the TAMU Motor
cycle Club on their cycle playg
round near Easterwood Airfield.
No single marque dominated.
Top riders in their classes mounted
Fenton, Husquevarna, Montessa,
Yamaha, and Suzuki machines.
Scores in the Enduro Class (begin
ners and non-trials type machines)
ranged from one clean and four
scores in the teens to a high of 70
with two nonfinishers. Low scores
were entered by Dave Flowers,
Walter Powell, Steve Powell, Joe
Beaseley, Chris Bradley, Rob Iver
son, and Gary Bowles.
The two top powder puff entries
in a field of four were Ruth Bradley
and Jackie Brassard. Trials class (ad
vanced) finishers, in order, were
Larry George, Steve Powell, Gary
Bowles, Dave Flowers, and Joe
Fisher.
Trials riding requires crossing a
section of natural terrain without
touching ground. Hazards in the
advanced sections included entry
into a flowing stream over a two foot
dropoff, ten feet of forty-five-degree
hillclimb from a standing start, cros
sing a cement aqueduct after two
descending right angle turns, and
several cliffside traverses.
Although specialized machinery
is helpful to an advanced rider, most
of the entries in the Enduro Class
were ridden to the event and are
legal for street use.

spoke at the Second Annual Animal
Control Personnel Development
Program in Rudder Tower on Fri
day.
Joseph Q. Betzendorfer of the
American Humane Association and
John Hoyt of the Humane Society of
the United States explained the ob
jectives and activities of their or
ganizations and the differences bet
ween the organizations to an audi
ence of about 70 people.
Betzendorfer described the
American Humane Association
(AHA) as a federation of local
humane societies across the country
that concern themselves with pro
tection of both animals and chil
dren.
Hoyt said that the Humane Soci
ety of the United States (HSUS) was
made up of individual memberships
and that it dealt almost entirely with
the abuse of animals.
Both men noted that Hoyt is paid
to be president whereas Betzen
dorfer is not. They felt this made a
difference in their relations with
their respective societies.
Betzendorfer discussed several of
the programs that the AHA runs to
stop animal abuse. These programs
include lobbying for hunting con
trols, establishment of standards for
care of rodeo stock, prevention of
dog and cock fights, improvement of
zoos and the education of the public
through publications and the initia
tion of animal care programs in
schools.
Hoyt pointed out a difference in
the basic philosophy of the two
groups. He said that the HSUS did
not hesitate to openly condemn any
activity or sport if they felt that ani
mals were being cruelly exploited
through it. Hoyt said that that AHA
does not condemn any activity, al
though they may disapprove of it.
Betzendorfer said that this was be
cause the AHA tried to work with
the abusers and eliminate the
source of abuse.
Although the AHA and the HSUS
are organized differently, both men
agreed that the societies are based
upon the same belief. Betzendorfer
said this basic belief was “to seek the
most humane and best possible
treatment of animals and to develop
standards and controls applicable to
the individual to prevent cruelty.”

Vocational ed
gets HEW boost
The U.S. Department of Health,
Education and Welfare Office of
Education has announced proposed
criteria for choosing projects de
signed to put vocational education
research into classrooms.
A total of $8 million is available
for 1976 to school districts, state
boards for vocational education, and
public and private agencies, institu
tions and organizations.
The funds are available for one
year with continuation for the sec
ond and third year based on evi
dence of satisfactory progress.
Funding will be based on three
priority areas, all of which involve
application of techniques developed
by the National Institute of Educa
tion (NIE) in its experience-based
career education program.
One of these areas is an alterna
tive to regular high school with stu
dents permitted to observe adults at
work and work at non-paid jobs.
Other areas are job placement or
further training at the completion of
the program and cooperative voca
tional education and work experi-
Handicapped
aid proposed
The U.S. Department of Health,
Education and Welfare (HEW) Of
fice of Education has proposed an
amendment to the Education of the
Handicapped Act.
The amendment would require
states to identify and serve all resi
dent handicapped children in need
of special education.
The states would also have to take
steps to insure the confidentiality of
the records of these children.
States would also be required to
explain policies and procedures to
be used to identify, locate and
evaluate all resident handicapped
children needing special education.
A goal, timetable and description
of resources for providing educa
tional opportunities to these chil
dren would also be planned by the
state.
Anyone wishing to comment on
the proposed rules should write the

Medicine cost
remains stable
The Texas Pharmaceutical Associ
ation (TPA) has said that prescrip
tion drug prices have not been af
fected by the recent inflationary
trend.
Prescription drug prices rose only
2.9 per cent between 1967 and the
end of 1974, according to the Con
sumer Price Index compiled by the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The price index for all items rose
53 per cent between 1967 and 1974.
Medical care services rose 54.8
per cent during that time, the TPA
said.
