Officials have an nounced the 1978 itinerary for the 14th annual Summer School at Sea Program. The Clipper will be home to more than 200 students, faculty and crew ofTexas A&M’s Moody College dur ing the nine-week Central and South America cruise. Ports of call include Peru, Panama, Mexico and Martinique. The 473-foot vessel sails from Galveston June 10 and returns to its home port Aug. 6, said Moody Col lege President William H. Clayton. Included in the cruise will be a select group of 1978 high school graduates enrolling in the Texas Maritime Academy, a part of the Moody College. Known on board as prep cadets, the young men and women will be assisting in ship board maintenance and operation, work in food services and take part in cadet activities. The 58-day cruise is also part of the required training for cadets pur suing U.S. Coast Guard licensing in the Merchant Marine. Prep cadets also earn up to six col lege credit hours during the trip. Students may choose English, his tory or math as their course of study. Clipper scheduled stops include Dry Torugas; Norfolk, Va.; Fort de France, Martinique, and Balboa, Panama Canal Zone. Callao, Peru, is the furthest point south the sea school will dock. Return ports are Cristobal, Panama Canal Zone; Vera Cruz, Mexico; Tampa, Fla.; Beaumont, and finally Galveston. Vet says therapy for aging pets causes problems Old pets are usually special to their owners but veterinarians should avoid radical therapy to merely prolong the life of an aging dog or cat, Dr. Neil Van S tavern of Texas A&M University told veteri nary students from around the na tion Friday. Severe treatment and unneces sary hospitalization may do more harm to both the owner and geriat ric pet than results warrant. Van Stavern warned representatives of the country’s 23 veterinary colleges. “In this type patient, the cure is often times impossible. Our aim should be to control problems and do everything we can to make the animal more comfortable. Avoid stressing the animal with unfamiliar surroundings and severe therapy, because stress can cause decompen sation,” he said. Prolonged and unusual treatment of old pets can also work a financial hardship on owners, although they are usually prepared to help their pets remain in as good as health as economically feasible. Geriatric care of animals will be the most challenging to the skills of the young veterinarian, said Van Stavern, because biologic change means loss of functional reserve in organs, loss of normal regenerative ability and loss of adaptability. A final word of advice was to be considerate of the owner of the geriatric pets, since the animal may serve as a link between them and someone who has died or left home.
