■ The two-man picket line located
' Vi the entrance of the new Texas
A&M University baseball stadium
""■is come to a temporary halt.
■Jimmy Comer, area representa
tive of Local 130 of the Painters
inion, said the picketing will re
sume Monday or Tuesday. 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

singularities to those that do not.
Other studies are looking at
whether the incidence of tumor

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.

YOUR
EDUCATION
DOESN’T
STOP
HERE
Your education doesn’t stop with a baccalaureate degree. It begins
there. Once you enter the world of work, you will gain valuable ex
perience and really discover what it’s all about to use what you learned
in college.
Take the Air Force for example. As a commissioned officer you’ll be
handed executive responsibility on your very first job. You’ll manage
people and complex systems. You’ll be expected to perform well, and
you’ll be paid well, too. It’s worth working for.
You can get there through the Air Force ROTC program. In fact, we
have a scholarship plan that will net you $100 a month tax free and
pay for all tuition, books and lab fees. And that will free you to concen
trate on your studies so you can get well prepared for where you’re
headed.
Check it out. Find out how yoli can get into a “graduate” program
like the Air Force. It’s a great way to serve your country, and possibly
find your formal education extended at Air Force expense as well.
