United Press International BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Despite criticism of President Carter by some black leaders, Carter has not lost the support of blacks, according to one Democratic Party official. “There has been no corrosion of black support for the president, Benjamin D. Brown, deputy chair man of the Democratic National Committee, said. “Our national leadership is now headed by one of us — a Southerner and a neighbor.” Brown said the election of Carter was the culmination of all things blacks struggled for during the 60s civil rights movement. “There are now more blacks in the White House than ever before in the history of this country,” he said. By KAYCE GLASSE Twenty-six dogs and nine cats were adopted Saturday at the third annual Pet Adoption Day held in Hensel Park. The animals were strays and pets whose owners cold no longer keep them. Fifteen that were not adopted will be sent to the Houston Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to be adopted or put to sleep. The adoption fees were $20 for dogs and $16 for cats. The fees paid for worming and distemper medica tion, and spaying and neutering. Jean Duffy, president of the Humane Society of Brazos County, said the remaining pets were not adopted because of their ages. Most people want the puppies and kit tens, she said, even though the older dogs are often already house- trained and used to children. One woman brought in a cat which was giving birth. The cat had been left with her and she thought Pet Adoption Day would help. Duffy said they will probably have to be sent to Houston, since it is unprobable that anyone would want to adopt four cats. Some dogs and cats left one home, only to be picked up by a sympathetic person, then brought to Pet Adoption Day where they were adopted by yet another person or family. Battalion photo by J. Wagner W Michelle Webb inquires about the adoption of this kitten anil | eventually took it home with her. Adoption fees were $2 dogs and $16 for cats. Duffy felt the constant moving about which some animals have to go through has a bad psychological effect. “I think it is hard on the animals, she said. “They’re not objects — they’ve got feelings.” The Humane Society makes no money on the project. The Humane Society of 1 County has no shelter. Mayor Richard Smith, inali to the society, has expressed; cern over the lack of better faciM for strays, Duffy said. He wil with society members Tuesday. TTr-rri rrrrrTTTTTm inn i it t t ^ "Citation dazzles rock and roll fans place henl M oz Coke By BOB ASHFIELD Battalion Stuff Yes, rock and roll does exist on this campus. Out of the horde of too many two-bit country bands has come the energy and excitement of five Texas A&M students who call themselves “Citation.” Led by lead guitarist Scot Wimberly, they completely dazzled the throng of thirsty hard rock fans at the Basement Coffee House Friday night. What’s more amazing is that they have only been playing together for five weeks preparing primarily for the “Battle of Bands contest that was held a couple of weeks ago in between races at the Texas World Speedway. Wimberly, who has played acoustic material twice at the Basement, notified them of the rock band he had to offer. And so Cita tion played publicly for the second time Friday night. Their aggressive second show was one of the most enjoyable hours of heavy metal that I’ve witnessed. Playing familiar rock standards and some not so familiar, loaded with plenty of jamming, they erupted onstage with a barrage of pulsating guitar on their opener, Nugent’s “Cat Scratch Fever.” This was followed by the Outlaws “Green Grass and High Tides Sh Wimberly.
