Girl with rabies dying United Press International HOUSTON — A 12-year-old girl was near death with rabies Wednes day and officials still did not know what kind of animal bit her. But the city health director said a dog bite the girl may have suffered several years ago in her native Laos most likely is not the cause of her ill ness. “She is in very critical condition,” said Joan London, spokeswoman for Texas Children’s Hospital. “The ri- baviran does not appear to be work ing. That’s the experimental anti-vi ral drug. “She may die during the day,” London said. “We don’t know. She could linger for several days.” The girl, whose illness was diag nosed Saturday, has not been identi fied to protect her family’s privacy. A Houston newspaper Wednes day published an interview with a friend of the family who said the girl’s father remembered that she was bitten by a puppy years ago in Laos. “I don’t give much credence to that as a source for this case,” Dr. James Haughton told United Press International. “The longest incuba tion period on record is 18 months. We think her contact is much less than that.” Haughton said the girl’s family left Laos more than three years ago. Although officials still do not know what kind of animal bit the girl, Haughton said he assumes it is dead. “I would guess so, since a very thorough examination of her body revealed no evidence of broken skin,” he said. Louis Pearce Jr. honored Regents name new pavilion University News Service Texas A&M University has named its new $2 million animal sci ence pavilion in honor of Louis Pearce Jr., former president and chairman of the board of the Hous ton Livestock Show and Rodeo. The air-conditioned facility, fea turing a 100- by 200-foot arena, was named the Louis Pearce Pavilion in formal action by the Texas A&M University System Board of Regents. The pavilion is used for livestock teaching and research, professional clinics and youth activities such as 4- H and FFA contests. In the last five years, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo has pro vided half a million dollars in schol arships to students at Texas A&M. Last year alone the organization gave 100 four-year scholarships to high school graduates pursuing ca reers in agriculture. More than 300 students currently attend Texas A&M on scholarships provided by the livestock show and rodeo. A graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, Pearce also has worked closely with Texas A&M, E rimarily through his interest in orse breeding. Since 1969 he has donated 13 horses to Texas A&M with a total value of $82,900. “He (Pearce) has been and is a good friend and counselor to me personally and for all of us who have worked to develop Texas A&M’s horse program,” Dr. O.D. Buder, as sociate deputy chancellor for agri culture for the Texas A&M Univer sity System. “We have called on him frequently for advice regarding our relationships with the horse industry and for support when we needed it, and he has never failed us.” Pearce currently serves as chair man of the boards for Waukesha- Pearce Industries, Texas Iron Works and Pearce Industries Inc. He owns and operates ranches in Brazoria, Atascosa and Maverick counties where he raises commercial catde and quarter horses. Pearce is a member of the Na tional Jewish Hospital and Research Center Board of Trustees and a member of the board of directors of the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Council. He also was elected in 1974 by the agriculture students as an honorary member of the College of Agriculture Saddle and Sirloin Club. CO-OP STUDENT ASSOCIATION meeting: Thur.
