Dr. Raymond Loan says, “We are aware of the public concern and the high costs involved when using live animals, so we do seek alternatives whenever we can. We only use lab animals when, in our judgment, it is the best way to solve the problem; and when animals are used, they are used in a very humane way.” With the advancements of mod ern technology, Loan says, tissue cul tures and chicken embryos are being used in many cases as alternatives to research on live animals. Loan says when a scientist looks at a disease which affects a single cell, a cell culture is used instead of an ani mal. “But,” he says, “when a disease is at an integrated level, when many factors are playing a role, there is no substitute for live animals.” experiments on live animals,” he says. By mathematically modeling the environments and the genotypes, scientists are now able to test animals at a much faster and more accurate rate, Cartwright says. Despite A&M’s search for alterna tives, there is sometimes no replace ment for the use of live animals, says Dr. Ciisela Dellmeier, research asso ciate in animal science. “I research for the diferent effects on animals under different types of environments,” Dellmeier says. “I don’t do a lot of invasive work,” she says. “I study animal behavior and stress psychology and there is no type of alternative for this type of re search, but the animals I use are treated very humanely.” Making sure laboratory animals are treated within the humane guidelines is the responsiblity of the Laboratory Animal Care Center. The center is a centralized lab care unit for the entire University, says Jeff Sanford, assistant director for the center.

Mathematical models also are be ing used at A&M as an alternative to using live animals in research. Dr. Thomas Cartwright, profes sor of animal science, says he is able to mathematically model the climate and conditions in a foreign country with the genotypes of American do mestic animals to test for viability in the new area. “This beats going into a foreign country for 20-30 years and doing Sanford says, “The center ba sically has two functions. First is the daily care and maintenance of the laboratory research animals and sec ond is the overseeing of all the ani mal usage. The center is the watch dog for the University.” Sanford says many different types of animals are being used at A&M for reseach, but rodents constitute the majority of the animals used in laboratory experiments. “We are very concerned with the quality of care of the lab animals and we go to extreme efforts to keep this quality of care at a high level,” San ford says. 05 Han mgton.

Dealers are checking on neighbor ing stations, and telephones are ringing from Borger to Amarillo as some station owners check with sup pliers and supervisors to see if prices can go any lower and still be profita ble. Two stations, Adobe Store and Lester’s Convenient Store, dropped their prices six times in 24 hours two weeks ago, starting at 85 cents and ending up at 54 cents at the end of the day. David Johnson, owner of McNulty Oil in Borger, which runs and sup plies Diamond Shamrock gas for Adobe, said h< war in an effor of higher gas” | To save 10 t Borger residei miles to Fritcli arillo to fill up. “We’re havi cause we’re ge he said.

It is not of his wife or his mother or even his children. The face in the mug shot belongs to Roy W. Bevan, 29, a convicted rapist who escaped from the Cof- field prison one year ago and re mains at large. “We are still investigating (the Bevan escape) but it has been a while since there were any ne<v leads,” Brownlow said. Bevan was serving a 50-year sen tence for the aggravated rape of his stepdaughter and, concurrently, two 7-year sentences for escape from jail. Don King, investigator for the Cooke County district attorney, said Bevan is a “wilderness-type” who once spent six months living with his wife and stepdaughter in a tent on the Red River. Psychological testing indicated Bevan’s disappearance from Cof- lield on Feb. 19, 1985, differed from the typical prison break. The escape occurred sometime between the 3:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. head counts. A manhunt was not organized be cause tracking dogs were unable to establish a specific direction of travel away from the prison. Coffield Warden Jack Garner said he believes Bevan had help both in side and outside the prison in mak ing his escape “hut proving that is another story.” An allegation that the two officers were bribed was dismissed. The morning after the escape a man dressed in white clothes resem bling prison fatigues stole gasoline from a north Palestine convenience stoie. The description given bv the store clerk resembled Bevan but was not conclusive, Brownlow said. Bevan is white, 5 feet 7 inches tall, 172 pounds with brown hair, green eyes, and ruddy complexion and has a scar on his left wrist. “It appears that he drove away from the prison because the dogs never found a trail,” Garner said. “There were no vehicles reported stolen so he either sneaked out in a vehicle or was driven out.” In July 1982, Bevan and a jail trusty were recaptured within 48 hours of crawling through a food slot in the cell door, records show. Garner later fired two guards for failing to report that Bevan had talked with them about planning an escape. During a second escape in Octo ber 1982, Bevan and another pris oner were at large lot about two days. King said Bevan’s ex-wife still re gards Bevan as dangerous.
