A&M ‘colony’ breeding
marmosets for research
Unitei

by Janet G. Joyce
Battalion Reporter
University researchers are
working on new and better
ways to raise cattle, horses —
and marmosets: small, South
American monkeys.
At the Texas A&M mar
moset colony, research is
being conducted to determine
the best methods for raising
marmosets in captivity, thus
making them readily available
for research.
Because of their size, mar
mosets make ideal research
animals. Weighing barely a
pound, adult marmosets are
only about 16 inches long —
half of which is tail. They’re
easier to handle and less ex
pensive to maintain than
rhesus monkeys.
The marmoset colony here
is one of only a few in the na
tion and the only one funded
by the National Institutes of
Health. A pilot colony was
established in September
1975 with 12 pairs of breeding
animals, said Dr. Franklin J.
Stein, associate professor of
veterinary anatomy and the
director of the colony.
Continued funding from
the NIH has supported the
colony since then with the cur
rent funding period ending
next year. The colony has ap
plied for further funding
from the NIH, but it will he
the beginning of next year be
fore any decision is made. If
the application is turned
down, the colony would still
exist but would have to be re
duced in size, Stein said.
The colony has 90 breeding
pairs of marmosets and their
young. Marmosets are mono
gamous (one mate) and are
more prolific than most pri-
feaced to e

mates, breeding twice a year
and almost always having
twins or triplets..
. Three different species are
represented in the colony.
Most of the animals are com
mon marmosets, which are
plentiful in the wild and easily
raised in captivity.
The mystax or “mus-
tached” marmoset is exterme-
ly difficult to breed in captiv
ity. It is a valuable tool in
hepatitis research and is rela
tively rare, although not yet
an endangered species.
The other species at the col
ony is the cotton-topped mar
moset, which is on the En
dangered Species List. It is
one of the few animals that
can be used for studies of can
cer-causing viruses. Since it is
an endangered species, the'
animals at the Texas A&M
colony are being used exclu
sively for breeding and are
not made available for re
search. Stein said.

GREENVILLE — The local
Rotary Club is collecting money
to help unemployed steelwor
kers in Pennsylvania since the
situation is bleaker for them
than laid-off Texas steelwor
kers, the club’s president said.
President Clide Wilcox said
he hoped to raise more than
$500 during a collection at the
101-member Greenville Rotary
Club’s noon luncheon to help a
food bank set up to aid steelwor
kers in Midland, Pa.
A specialty steel plant that
once employed 4,700 people in
that Pennsylvania town of about
5,000 has laid off most of its em
ployees and plans to shut down
Oct. 15.
Wilcox learned of the town’s
plight through Dallas newspap
er reports, which came to light
about the same time an east
Texas steel mill 80 miles east of
Greenville laid off 3,600 steel
workers.
Lone Star Steel Co. shut
down in August, eliminating the
main industry in the east Texas
community and affecting scores
of related businesses.
“I thought about Lone Star
but we made the decision be
tween the Lone Star group and
the Pennsylvania group because
of a 20.5 percent unemploy
ment rate in Beaver County, and
a very bad rate in Pennsylvania,”
Wilcox said.
