Shelter benefit planned
By SHARON D. RENFROW
Battalion Reporter
A chili cook-off, a radio “snelterthon, ” a petting
zoo, and a kissing booth are planned to raise
$85,000 for an animal shelter for Brazos County.
On April 4-5, the Humane Society of Brazos
County, in a joint effort with Krueger Hall, will
try to raise the remaining $85,000 for an animal
shelter they have been planning for six years.
About half of the $160,000 estimated cost of the
shelter has been pledged, with $30,000 coming
from Bryan, $25,000 from College Station,
$15,000 from the Humane Society and $5,000
from Brazos County.
For Texas A&M University, Krueger Hall will
hold its first annual charity chili cook-off April 5.
“Every year our dorm chooses a charitable
organization to support,” Kristy Wright, chair
man of the cook-off, said. “We chose the Humane
Society this year because it is a local organization,
thus we would be able to see our results.”
The cook-off is to be held on the grounds be
hind the Texas Hall of Fame on FM 2818 in
Bryan. A $10 entry fee is required for each team
and must be turned in to the Commons reception
desk by March 26.
Cooking will begin at 5 a.m. with judging at 3
p.m. There will be a total of 20 trophies offered —
10 for the best chili recipes and the others for the
best showmanship.
“People have been hearing about an animal
shelter for years and now it’s almost a reality,”
said Patti Mercer, a member of the board of direc
tors for the shelter.
The shelter is to be jointly-owned by Bryan,
College Station and Brazos County with the
Humane Society managing it under contract. Ma
jor plans for the shelter include separate kennels,
a puppy area and a cat area. It will also include a
classroom and library for the educational prog
rams.
A radio “shelterthon,” similar to a telethon, on
station WTAW-92 FM will kick off the weekend at
9 a.m. Volunteers will be taking pledges on the
phone until 6 p.m.
“We are also looking for pledges for labor,
building materials, furniture — whatever a per
son can pledge — to help cut down on the cost,”
Mercer said.
WTAW will also have a mobile unit set up at
the Manor East Mall, where there will be other
attractions. Children will be able to enjoy a pet
ting zoo, while there will be a kissing booth for the
older crowd.
“We are hoping people will come to see the
attractions and support our cause,” Mercer said.
“We’ve got advertisements in Snook, Navasota
and Kurten,” Wright said. “We want the whole
community involved, not just the dorms.”
Mercer said, “People aren’t going to know ab
out overpopulation and abuse of animals unless
they are told. This is what our programs will do. ”
The shelter will help rabies control with a
quarantine program and animal overpopulation
with spay and neuter programs.
Mercer expresses optimism on the possibility
of the shelter being completed in September.
Researchers study effects
of high pressure on drugs
V
By WAYNE COOK
Battalion Reporter
Texas A&M University resear
chers have begun a two-year study
on drug changes in the body when
sed under high pressure.
The researchers cite a need for
better emergency care of profes
sional divers hurt on the job and a
growing trend to use high-
pressure chambers in treating
some illnesses as reasons for the
study.
“It was recognized by medical
doctors that drugs don’t act the
same when used under high press-
n ure,” said veterinary physiologist
| and pharmocologist Dr. David R.
Gross, one of the researchers.
Aspirin, the pain killer meper-
dine (Demerol), the heart treat
ment drug lidocaine, several bar
biturate anesthetics, and ami-
nophylline, a drug used to treat
asthma, will be studied. Five plas
ma expanders used in treating
hemorrhagic shock and decom
pression sickness will also be
tested.
The tests will be done on labor
atory animals, Gross said, at press
ures ranging from normal to six
atmospheres — the equivalent of
an undersea dive of 165 feet. Dogs
are being used in the tests.
“We are interested in the phar-
mokinetics, that is the volume of
distribution and elimination of the
drugs from the body,” Gross said.
He said measuring differences in
the drugs’ distribution and elimi
nation could allow scientists to
predict needed changes in dos
ages.

CARP reverend examines Bible
By DICK SIMMONS JR.
Battalion Reporter
Those who take the Bible liter
ally must be blind, the Rev. Doris
Orme of the Unification move
ment said March 13 at a meeting of
the Collegiate Association for Re
search of Philosophy (C. A.R.P.) in
College Station.
“They were not perfect people
who wrote the Bible,” she said.
Orme is traveling across the
United States for the Holy Spirit
Association for the Unification of
World Christianity. She speaks
about her faith and the path that
led her to the Unification move
ment.
“Reverend Moon is shedding
light,” the British citizen said.
“His ‘Divine Principle’ is a revela
tion of God.”
The ‘Divine Principle’ is Rev.
Sun Myung Moon’s interpretation
of the Christian Bible written in
the 1950s on which the Unification
Church’s movement is based.
Orme is also called a
prophetess by some in the move
ment because of the dreams and
visions she said she has experi
enced.
“We are living in a time when
God is preparing us to receive his
son on Earth,” she said. “I saw
Jesus many times a day, and then I

The study is funded by a
