Fullingim raises chinchillas, and he considers it more profitable than other kinds of ranching. “Chinchilla fur is more valuable than mink,” said Fullingim, 36. “It lasts longer and the hair pops back when you blow on it. It doesn't lay down like rabbit. “It takes 120 pelts to make a full- length coat,” he said. “That coat will go for $20,000 to $50,000, depend ing on the quality. Obviously, there are a lot of middlemen along the way.” He said he was looking for a line of business that would be unlike his current occupation and that would require little travel. Fullingim bought his first breeding stock nine months ago — 35 females and five males — for his 12-acre spread out side Athens. The main operation for Fullingim and his wife, Brenda, is C&J Hydro- Mulchers, which plants grass on highways and dams, primarily for government agencies. Previously, the couple owned and ran a chain of convenience stores and are now developing a pump maintenance company. “But, I really want to raise chin chillas,” said Fullingim. Hot and humid conditions in Texas are not conducive to raising animals with high-quality fur, ex perts say. Chinchillas, originally from Chile’s Andes Mountains, are cool-climate rodents. Fullingim’s pelting stock — com posed of gray standards, black stan dards and black velvet animals —live in a room set at 60 degrees. His breeders live in a 70-degree room. Young are horn wet and survive bet ter in warmer air, he said. He feeds his animals alfalfa hay cubes and rabbit-food pellets. Females, with a life span of five to six years, average three litters per year with from one to four “kits” per litter. If there are four in a litter, there’s usually not enough milk to go around, so one is “loaned out” to an other female with only one or two young. Fullingim said. nigh school students write .

In the classroom of U.S. govern- nent teacher Charlene Lively, con- titutions from faraway countries uch as “New America,' “Universal fepublic,” and “United Territories’* dorn the wall. Like the U.S. Consti- ution, they provide for a leader, leg- ilative branches, and other points of [overnment. But these constitutions were writ- en by a handful of high school stu- lents, many of whom are not old intfigh to vote. "We think the people’s rights are he most important tiling,” said Cathy Moore, who helped draw up heRonstitution of New America, because we don’t want the govern- nent to have complete control.” The group also chose to have heir president elected by popular oteand serve a six-year instead of a out wear term. v “Sometimes they will be trying to get things done and in four years there isn't enough time,” said Buddy Timtne. Moore also said the group “firmly believes” that capital punishment is a deterrent to crime and included it in the document. Another member, Brent Alexander, said the death penalty “saves tax dollars.” A unicameral legislative body was selected because the students “felt it would be more effective in one house,” said Timme. He said there is often too much opposition between the Senate and House of Represen tatives in our bicameral system. In the Universal Republic, “The people are the only source that will nave any and all governmental au thority,” said Jon Bassinger, who helped write the laws for that mythi cal colony. “The power is vested in the people in our government.” 1 he students strayed from the electoral college voting system be cause “it’s kind of outdated,” said Kristi Baker, and provided for checks and balances in the three leg islative branches of their country. “If one branch doesn’t like the way another branch is doing some thing, they have the power to correct it,” said Bassinger.

UNIVERSITY pointed star represents a trait of the Universal Republic. Scales equate to justice, an eagle stands for freedom, a torch equals knowledge, a peace symbol means peace and a circle rep resents unity. The star’s colors, blue and white, stand for loyalty and hope. Uively said the group chose a unique way to present their constitu tion to the class. The students stood in a star for mation around the classroom and explained what the various points stood for. In the United Territories, the government is led by a superior in stead of a president. Nicole Brewer, a student who helped write that con stitution, said the group had a little trouble deciding on how long the su perior should serve but finally de cided on a six-year term with no limit on re-elections. A lawmaking body, known as the “reins of government” consists of 250 elected representatives who serve two-year terms. Each state of the territories sends 25 reins to the “star chamber” where all legislation takes place. Lively said the students had not yet studied the U.S. constitution be fore the project. t’s not too long until you'll be walking up to get your degree.
