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.

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.

“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

A&M, has known Rubbia since
the early 1970s.
“The work he did in Europe

“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.”

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.”
