Monday, January 16, 1984AThe Battalion/Page 11 Wolf home threatened United Press International TENINO, Wash. — If the financial drain at the 30-acre sanctuary for wolves called Wolf Haven gets any worse, the orga nization may be in trouble. Where once the non-profit sanctuary accepted all wolves without question, a lack of funds is threatening the operation. The 25 wolves at the sanctu ary in mid-December came from state agencies in Washington and New York, an abandoned private animal farm, individuals and Cornell University. said he is living off savings that will soon be exhausted. Food for the 25 wolves at the sanctuary comes from neighbor ing farms. Kuntz explained far mers are more than willing to donate dead cattle to the project. “You’d be surprised how many cows die around here,” he said. “So far, feeding the wolves has been the least of our prob lems.” Investigations following re ported incidents have usually found the culprit was a wolf-dog or wolf-coyote cross, Kuntz said. He said an ultimate goal of Wolf Haven is to re-introduce wolves into the wild where they numbered in the millions dur ing the early 1800s. Now the total wolf population in the lower 48 states is about 1,200, Kuntz said, with another 10,000 estimated in Canada and Alaska.

Colors will distinguish the notices from each other. To get information placed on the calendar, see Jodie Fry in 216 Memorial Student Center. Feeding and caring for the animals, plus the monthly $500 rent for the sanctuary land are draining the organization’s mea ger treasury. Stephen Kuntz, Wolf Haven president, said all the help at Wolf Haven is volunteer and When asked why he got into the wolf sanctuary business, Kuntz said it was from love of the animals. He said he always has been fascinated by wolves and once raised one in Col orado. Kuntz, who was a home buil der before coming to Wolf Haven, seethes at what he con siders the undeserved bad repu tation of wolves.

Civic leaders in Pittsburgh also resurrected King’s words as they renamed a Port Authority Transit of Allegheny County bus line that opened last Febru ary the “Martin Luther King, Jr. East Busway.” The busway, which excludes cars and trucks links the down town with suburbs, “serves and benefits neighborhood compris ed of many lower-income fami lies dependent largely on bus transportation,” said slate Sena tor James Romanelli. In Hartford, Conn., the city’s Revitalization Corps of Hart ford hosted a memorial service in King’s honor as the state pre pared to celebrate a state holiday dedicated to the slain civil rights leader. State Treasurer Henry Par ker, the state’s highest elected black official, said that through King the nation will honor “the achievements of all Americans of all colors who seek the Amer ica he dreamed of—an America that lives out the true meaning of its creed.” King’s dreams have yet to be realized. “As I look around .
