HOUSTON — An armed animal
control officer with “free rein” to
shoot suspicious animals is patrolling
the neighborhood of a 12-year-old
girl critically ill with rabies, a city of
ficial said Tuesday.
The girl was in a coma Tuesday in
Texas Children’s Hospital, where
her doctors do not expect her to sur
vive. The case is the first reported
case of rabies in a human in the
United States since March 1983.
Dr. James Haughton, city health
director, said Houston is “sitting on
a time bomb” because so few do
mestic animals have been immu
nized. He told the City Council’s ani
mal control committee Monday, “We
have a disaster waiting to happen.”
Only 20 percent of the estimated
750,000 animals in the city are vacci
nated, he said.
Dr. Robert Armstrong, rabies
control director, said that while he
usually keeps 500 doses of vaccine
on hand, he has ordered an additio
nal 2,000 “in anticipation of a flood.”
“Normally on a Tuesday we give
five to seven rabies vaccinations,”
Armstrong said. “So far today we’ve
given 30. On phone calls we’re run
ning way ahead.”
It has not been determined what
kind of animal bit the girl or when
she was bitten, said Dr. Ralph Feigin,
physician in chief at Texas Chil
dren’s. There is no evidence of a bite
wound, but Feigin said the disease
can incubate for up to 18 months.
The Centers for Disease Control
in Atlanta is trying to isolate the vi
rus found in the girl to determine
the kind of animal.
Jaycees issued charter at Texas A&M
By Judy Oliver
Reporter
A new student organization with a
different interest than most may be
seen on campus this fall. The Texas
A&M chapter of the Jaycees was is
sued a charter in April and has ap
plied for University recognition.
Chapter President Craig Rodgers
says many plans already are in the
works. He said he hopes to set up a
campus awareness committee to pro
mote traditions at Texas A&M.
Rodgers says traditions are the back
bone of the University but aren’t
held in as high esteem as they were
in the past. The chapter also plans to
raise money for charity and work on
reversing voter apathy, he says.
Rodgers says the Texas A&M
chapter began with 20 members and
has grown to 25. He says the mem
bers hope to quadruple the mem
bership in September and receive
national recognition.
Rodgers feels the Jaycees will of
fer a means for involvement to in
coming students.
Steven Steele, former president of
the Bryan-College Station Jaycees,
says the main objection to recogniz
ing the Jaycees on campus is their el
igibility policy which refuses mem
bership to women. In August,
however, the National Jaycees will
meet to decide if the bylaws should
be changed to admit women. If the
change is made, the Jaycee women’s
auxiliary would then become a Jay
cee women’s affiliate, he says.
Steele says the organization is
built around “the total Jaycee con
cept” of individual development,
community development and man
agement development.
Programs designed by the na
tional chapter for individual devel
opment deal with such things as time
management, financial planning,
personal dynamics, and communica
tion, Steele says. Each chapter, how
ever, can have its own individual
programs. He says the Texas A&M
chapter, for example, might have
programs on job interviews and how
to be a better student.
Steele says programs on commu
nity development deal with such
things as voting, building parks and
raising money for charity. He says
the Texas A&M chapter might deal
with such things as government in
volvement, health and safety.
Management development, he
said, comes with working as chair
men of Jaycee projects.
Steele says involvement in the Jay
cees continues after graduation
when members become active in
community Jaycee organizations.
“I wish I would have had the same
opportunity,” Steele says. “The Jay
cees have helped me and my career a
lot.”
Mondale's campaign manager may quit
Democrat Bert Lance feels ‘betrayed’
United Press International
ATLANTA — Former Budget
Director Bert Lance may resign his
post as general campaign manager
for Democratic presidential candi
date Walter Mondale because he
feels “betrayed,” it was reported
Tuesday.
Mondale’s press secretary, Maxine
Issacs, said Lance’s role “is being dis
cussed” and an announcement is ex
pected within a week.
The Atlanta Constitution quoted
“a source close to Lance” as saying
he accepted the job because “he was
so hungry for redemption, and he
was so hungry to be involved again
that he grabbed for a straw.”
The source said Lance, whose ap
pointment by Mondale drew strong
criticism at the Democratic National
Convention, is considering quitting,
particularly if he is given a regional,
low-visibility role in the campaign.
“I know he’s not a quitter,” the
Constitution quoted the source as
saying. “He’s been hurt. I think he
feels kind of betrayed.”
Lance, the Georgia Democratic
Party chairman, could not be
reached for comment.

“He’s flying out of town tomorrow
for some meetings,” said Jewell
Miller, who operates Lance’s Cal
houn, Ga., office. “I don’t think he’s
talking to anyone, not even me.”
Lance told the newspaper the con
troversy surrounding his appoint
ment would not affect his role as
campaign manager.
“I’m just going to do the same
thing I’ve been doing — trying to get
Mondale elected,” he said.
Lance did not attend a meeting

Lance resigned as President Car

ing a controversy over his banking
practices in Georgia. He wds in
dicted for bank fraud in 1979 but
was acquitted.
The Constitution quoted Lance as
saying he never intended to cam
paign with Mondale.
