MARTIN Suitt Writer ENTERTAINMENT EXTRAVAGANZA... Break Dancin’ Gorilla Smurf • Playboy Bunny • Broadway Baby The final day of the Delta Socie ty’s three-day conference at the Ag- gieland Hotel not only re-em phasized the human-animal bonds, but also linked them with the law. On Nov. 30, President Reagan signed a bill to allow elderly and handicapped people who live in fed- erally-aided housing to keep pets. Call Balloon Bonanza @ 764-0950 & We'll Bring the Fun! This law was a major step tor the Delta Society, an international orga nization that promotes pet pro grams, and the Massachusetts So- cietv for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which helped pushed the bill through congress. Robert Malakoff, stall member of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, helped draft this federal pet statute. you know the story... ^CENERENTOLA THE CINDERELLA STORY ...now see the opera! MSC OPAS OCTOBER 29 TICKETS: 845-1234 “My assignment is the politics of pets,” Malakoff said. “It’s a very im perfect art and this pet bill shows its imperfections.” Malakoff said the imperfections lie in the many unanswered ques tions the pet bill raises. For example, the pet bill, titled ' Jrba the Housing and Urban/Rural Re covery Act of 1983, says a tenant cannot prohibit any person in the specified residences from owning a common pet. The question of defi ning a “common” pet then is raised. The act also says owners have the right to establish their own housing rules under the PATH guidelines. These rules may include where the animals can walk, where the animals’ litter boxes can be kept, and the size and disposition of each animal. This reduces the uniformity of the act. Despite its benefits to the Delta Society, Ruth W. Flaherty, the PATH attorney, said many owners try to ignore the law. Malakoff said some lawsuits al ready have come to court.

Dr. Sheldon Glashow, nobel laureate and University scholar at A&M, has known Rubbia since the early 1970s. “The work he did in Europe was very important,” Glashow said. Rubbia’s discovery confirmed the theory for which Glashow re ceived his nobel prize in 1979. The weak force was first the orized in the 1920s.

Students say Prop 2 needei By LISA SPILLER Reporter “A lot of people are hearing, ‘Sorry, no pets. You have to give up your pets to come live in this com plex,”’ Malakoff said. “This is what started the legislation in the first place. People have a right to keep a pel in their homes, and as they get older and can’t afford to live in their private homes any longer, they have to move to federally-aided housing. They shouldn’t have to give up their pets.” opos don on tnis campus will stop, a Leg islative Study Group representative said Wednesday. Representatives from Aggie GOP, Young Democrats and the Legis lative Study Group spoke at a politi cal awareness meeting sponsored by Off-Campus Aggies. LGS representative, David Klos- terboer, explained Proposition 2 which now provides $150 million for Texas A&M and the University of Texas. “If Proposition 2 passes — which 1 encourage — it will set up an addi tional fund for non-PUF schools,” Klosterboer said. “Non-PUF schools are all schools outside the Texas A&M System and the University of Texas System. “If the proposition does not pass, schools like Prairie View A&M and the University of Houston have been planning a lawsuit which will come against the University of Texas and Texas A&M University Systems to compete for the PUF money.” If this happens the PUF money will be frozen and construction on this campus will stop immediately, he explained. “I guess more than anything it’s a compromise so that the non-PUF schools are satisfied as well as the PUF schools,” Klosterboer said. “The money around the stale is be ing shared equally for higher educa tion.” Young Democrat representative Carry Young stressed changing status of democrats on the i campus.
