He fnuld not comment on why it had ippecl. The picketers, who wished to re main anonymous, are protesting the hict that A&M Paint Co., a non union company, is in charge of painting the new stadium. Raymond Rychlik, owner of the A&M Paint Co. said the men were told to picket because of Comer’s personal grudge against him. It goes way back. He’s just trying 1° stop me,” Rychlik said. According g guinea pigs are mini pigs Pigs are being used as human re- arch models at Texas A&M Uni- rsity s College of Veterinary Medicine. Miniature swine raised and used in the University’s veteri- ry research park are currently the bjects of research on fast neutron [diation, embryo transfer, a new inquilizer, genetics and in studies how endocrines influence tumor ivelopment. The herd, as large as 50 head at flies according to Dr. Max Amoss, s developed several years ago be cause of traits shared by pig and human that allow model research. ■ Currently, the pigs’ similarity in liu reaction to radiation is under idy to help clarify existing re- jarch data on fast neutron radiation atment. In another project, embryo trans- iris examined to determine if cer- in characteristics can be trans- red from swine that have these N Petal Patch j>^„Yo Ur Complete Florist" singularities to those that do not. Other studies are looking at whether the incidence of tumor Production, rather high in this par- ticular breed, is genetic or is Perhaps triggered by hormone levels. The herd has also become a con venient group for a new tranquilizer undergoing government proving tests. to Rychlik, he and Comer had a se rious disagreement while w'orking together many years ago. Comer denies that he is trying to stop Rychlik. “It’s nothing personal whatsoever. Its a union problem,’ Comer said. “What we re doing is legal,” he added. Comer said the picketing would resume and continue until negotia tions solve the problem he declined to define. H e will be in College Station Monday to discuss a possible solu tion. The A&M Paint Co. was subcon tracted for the job by Thurmond and Stuart General Contractors of Bryan. That firm is in charge of stadium construction. According to A.D. Griggs, the superintendent of the stadium, progress has not been slowed by the picketers. “It’s in its third week and no one has failed to come into work yet, ’ he said.
