A&M vet students totrain
for CPR with resusci-dog
By THOMAS OWNBEY
Reporter
A resusci-dog, the canine coun
terpart to resusci-Annie, will soon
help veterinary students learn car-
diopulminary resuscitation for pets.
At present, students learn CPR
work on live dogs, said Dr. Kenneth
Knauer, interim department head,
Small Animal Medicine and Sur
gery.
The live dogs are anesthetized
and then, either chemically or elec
trically, heart fibrillation is induced,
he said.
The student then performs CPR
by chest massage.
Occasionally the dogs die, Knauer
said.
“Sometimes we don’t lose any,”
Knauer said. “Sometimes we lose as
many as 6 or 8 a semester.”
If there is any possibility of a dog
being in pain after the experience,
the dog is put to sleep, he said.
Resusci-dog will be purchased so
that live dogs will no longer be used
for CPR training.
“We’re always looking for meth
ods as good as, or better than the use
of live animals, and establishing this
fund is the department’s way of ex
pressing our concern,” Knauer said.
“We consider ourselves (veteri
narians) to be among the most hu-*
mane persons on earth. The pur
pose of our training and research is
to relieve animal suffering,” Knauer
said.
“The purpose of our
training and research is to
relieve animal suffering. ”
— Dr. Kenneth Knauer,
interim department head,
Small Animal Medicine
and Surgery.
The new resusci-dog is a plastic,
fur covered doll that has electronic
parts that let the student know when
he is performing chest massage cor
rectly.
A special fund established by the
Department of Small Animal Medi
cine and Surgery will provide for the
purchase of the $800 mannequin,
Knauer said.
No state funds will be used to pur
chase the dog, he emphasized.
Response to the fund, which was
created at the beginning of the year,
has been very favorable, he said.
The special fund, Alternatives to
Animal Use in Research, was set up
after talking with a Houston group,
People for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals, Knauer said.
The group wanted to see the
state’s only veterinary small animal
training program seek alternatives
to using animals in research and tea
ching, he said.
With the money raised, the De
partment of Small Animal Medicine
and Surgery hopes to eventually
purchase a resusci-cat, now under
development at Cornell University
where the resusci-dog was devel
oped.
Anyone wishing to contribute to
the special fund should send dona
tions to: Alternatives to Animal Use
in Research and Teaching, Depart
ment of Small Animal Medicine and
Surgery, Texas A&M University,
College Station, 77843-4474.
enator’s plea to run for Texas attorney general denied

do tl: |a|jSTIN — The Texas Supreme
es looHt on Monday denied Sen. J.E.
asl^lusi r” Brown’s plea to get on the
ok a t|||Hbli can Party primary ballot for
rH attorney general, but Brown
' ijiis hopes remain alive.
‘ P ai piown, R-Lake Jackson, said he
Hling the same appeal the Su-
n He Court rejected with the 1st
Ht of Appeals in Houston, be-
mni.'l: o$e the Supreme Court had failed
Group sinswer his questions of law.
He Supreme Court overruled,
But comment, Brown’s motion
I 4i/e a writ of mandamus with the
hs
|^Attorney General Jim Mattox, a
Herat running for re-election,
Jd,i “Any layman or any lawyer
irate jH rea< ^ the (Texas) Constitution
and see that Buster Brown was in vi
olation of the wording of the consti
tution should he be allowed to run. .
But Mattox added, “I’m not sure
he believed from the beginning he
was going to be eligible. I think it was
an opportunity for him to get his
name exposed on a statewide basis
without any real danger.”
Brown said the Supreme Court
“can refuse to hear (an appeal) for
any number of reasons, and since it
didn’t spell it out, I have no way of
knowing” what the court’s reason
was for denying his motion.
The court’s refusal to hear
Brown’s plea left three candidates in
the Republican Party primary for at
torney general just hours before the
Monday filing deadline of 6 p.m.
Mattox, a former state House
member and congressman who is
completing his first four-year term
as attorney general, appeared to
have no opposition in the May 3
Democratic primary.
The Republican candidates for at
torney general are State District
Judge Roy Barrera Jr., San Antonio;
former Williamson County District
Attorney Ed Walsh; and State Dis
trict Judge John Roach, McKinney.
“None of them are very strong
(candidates),” Mattox said.
Brown appealed to the Supreme
Court after GOP state chairman
George Strake refused last month to
place Brown’s name on the ballot.
Brown’s eligibility centered on a
provision in the Texas Constitution
that says a legislator is ineligible,
during the term for which he or she
was elected, for “any civil office . . .
which shall have been created, or the
emoluments of which may have been
increased, during such term.”
In 1985 the Legislature raised the
salary of the attorney general from
$70,400 to $71,100, an increase of
less than I percent.
But the Legislature also put a
rider, or special provision, on the
state appropriations bill that says if a
legislator is elected to another office,
such as attorney general, the salary
of that office would-be rolled back to
what it had been before the bill was
passed.
Brown had argued that, since the
increase was of less than 1 percent
and also because the rider stated that
he wouldn’t get the increase even if
he was elected, there was no reason
he couldn’t seek the office.

The toughest job
you’ll ever love
We admit it. It takes a dif
ferent kind of person to be a Peace
Corps volunteer.
We won’t mislead you with
glowing pictures of exotic lands. The
hours as a volunteer are long. The
pay is modest. And the frustrations
sometimes seem overwhelming. But
the satisfaction and rewards are im
mense. You’ll be immersed in a new
culture, become fluent in a new
language, and learn far more about
the third world — and yourself —
than you ever expected.
You’ll also discover that prog
ress brought about by Peace Corps
volunteers is visible and measurable:
Such as health clinics established in
the Philippines; Fresh-water fish
ponds constructed in Kenya; roads
and schools and irrigation systems
built in Upper Volta; tens of thou
sands of people given essential skills
in farming, nutrition, the skilled
trades, business, forestry, and other
specialties throughout the develop
ing world.
Being a volunteer isn’t for
everyone, and it isn’t easy, but to the
people of the developing nations
who have never before had basic
health care or enough to eat, the
Peace Corps brings a message of
hope and change.
We invite you to look into the
volunteer opportunities beginning in
the next 3-12 months in Africa,
Asia, Latin America, and the Pa
cific. Our representatives will be
pleased to provide you with details.
