future now

| In planning for the future, people
nerd to look at themselves objective
ly and positively, a Texas A&M Uni
versity professor told a small group
in Rudder Forum Thursday.
■“Your image of your future has a
lot to do with what you are going to
do with it,” said Dr. John Hoyle,
educational administration in
structor.
■Hoyle, speaking on “The Greatest
Issue — Your Future,” said people
need to think about and imagine
their roles in the future and it will
give meaning to what they are doing
now.
■'Future is an illusion,” he said.
Teople think the future is some
thing that happens to somebody
else.
i|“If you can see yourself in the fu
ture in a successful job and making a
good living, then today is more im
portant.”
■Hoyle, sponsored by the MSC
Great Issues Committee, said educa
tion can help in this perspective by
showing many options and not just a
restrictive view of what is in the fu
ture.
■He said, ”If the only tool you have
is a hammer, you tend to see every
problem as a nail.”
■Hoyle said one way of projecting
oneself into the future is by writing a
scenario. He defined it as a future
history that attempts to construct a

Despite an improvement in rabies
vaccine and a state law requiring ear
ly vaccination of pets, the number of
rabies cases in Texas continues to
grow.
In 1979 there were 1,174 rabies
eases reported in the state, making
up about 25 percent of the cases in
the United States. This was the most
reported since 1953, when 1,335
were reported.
Dr. Leon Russell, professor of
veterinary public health, predicts
that the problem will continue to
grow. At the end of March 1979, 231
Cases had been reported. So far, 284
cases have been reported for 1980.
“If the number continues to grow
at this rate, it will reach the peak of
1953,” Russell said.
Although rabies used to be more
common in dogs, there are more
rabies cases found in skunks today
than any other animal, Russell said.
Russell said researchers are not
sure how the rabies develop in the
skunks.
“There are a lot of mysteries to it, ”
Russell said. “It could be passed by
bites or by the milk of the mother. ”
An animal with rabies may react in
various ways, Russell said. The
animal might become hostile, or it
might become friendly when it is
normally hostile. Other symptoms
are abnormal appetite, paralysis of
the lower jaw and foaming at the
mouth.
Russell said if the animal develops
any of those symptoms, he should be
taken to the veterinarian immediate
ly. He added that there is a chance 1
the symptoms might be the result of
a disease other than rabies, for inst
ance canine distemper.
When an animal is found to have:
rabies, it is put to sleep and its brain
is sent to the health department in
Austin, Russell said.
Although state law requires pets to
be vaccinated at four months, there
are still pets that get rabies, Russell
said. In 1979, three people died from
bites by rabid dogs in the United
States and two of those were children
from Texas.
Russell said that there might be
more deaths in children because of
their short stature. “The shorter the
stature, the shorter the incubation
period,” he said. Rabies travels
through the nervous system and
reaches the brain more quickly.
One major improvement is a new
vaccine being developed in the Un
ited States in which the rabies virus
is grown in human tissue, Russell
said. The vaccine, called the human
diploid vaccine, is already being
used successfully in Europe and will
be released in a month.
In the vaccine currently being
used, the virus is grown in duck
embryos.
“There is a higher concentration of
the rabies virus in the human tissue
than in the duck embryo and it
should be more effective,” Russell
said.

He explained that the future de
pends on history, on which assump
tions are based. He said that
although no one can predict the
future, researchers called futurolog
ists take past trends and predict
what logically could happen based
on the trends.
