Hanks said he finds it hard to be lieve that feasibility is the Universi ty’s reason for demolition. If the apartments are over 50 years old, he said, he doesn’t understand why they are not feasible since they must have been paid for by now. Gerald Smith, associate director for business services, explained that the poor yard maintenance was due to the fact that the University wants to have money available for structu ral repairs such as plumbing and staircases. buildings structurally,’'HqI “It’s just their attitude 10^1 tenance, which has shoddy. They treat thenil of junk.” The lack of outside maintenance may have been what has caused the deterioration of the buildings, Hanks said. The regular lawn main tenance coincides with home football games and the rest of the year it is only occasional, he said. “We have focused more to the structural integrity of the buildings, rather than focusing our resources elsewhere,” Smith said. Smith said in the next attention will havetobeg buildings’ maintenance, k would be more feasible with them in the futureke high maintenance costs Tired of waiting for grounds maintenance personnel, Hanks said In the two years he has lived there, Hanks said he has had only two maintenance problems, neither of which were structurally related.

Animals (Continued from page 1) the general population and the residents of Texas by doing clini cal work on diseased and injured animals, which is incorporated into a teaching program for vet erinary students. One of McCulloch’s greatest concerns, he said, is that the gen eral public hasn’t been told of the many benefits of animal research, so it feels the research is unjust and inhumane. Nancy Speich, a worker at the Houston Animal Rights Team, says the group considers any ani mal experimentation unethical. “We feel there are now many alternatives — such as medical models, computers and cell cul tures — so we don’t approve of the use of animals in research at all,” she said. Through animal experimenta tion, researchers say they success fully developed the polio vaccine, Speich said, but Shealso says this is false. The original vaccine was ad ministered to animals, and worked, she says. But when the vaccine was given to humans, it caused many deaths, she said. “Research of the polio vaccine, which turned out to have an ad verse effect on humans, also took many animals’ lives,” she said. McCulloch agrees that animals ippeared efully when the vaccine was being researched. But he said their use played a significant role in the ba sic knowledge and development of the vaccine. Espitia says humane groups are well-motivated and their con cerns over wasteful use of ani mals’ lives stem from their genu ine compassion for animals. “However, there are some hu mane groups, in terms of their methods, that I don’t agree with because these groups take the philosophy that any means and methods to stop the use of ani mals in education and research are acceptable,” he said. “Some of these methods include breaking the law and infringing upon indi- vuals’ rights.” Basic constitutional questions still need to be answered about the rights of the researchers and the rights of the activists, he said. Animal lovers who are too emo tionally involved with their pets, he said, cannot think rationally about the subject. describes how a videotape: boons was stolen fromtiK versity of Pennsylvania!b mental Head Injun lin and shown publiclybyMl for the Ethical Treatmenttt mals.

The Saudis will use U.S.-made he licopters dragging special sleds through the troubled waters where a team of American specialists is checking reports that Iran planted mines to attack tankers carrying Western oil supplies, the official said. Diplomatic sources said the Saudis saw no operational need for U.S. jets to fly air cover for Navy vessels pa trolling the gulf. Despite close military ties, leaders of the oil-rich Arab kingdom have been reluctant to commit themselves to supporting the United States. A breakthrough was the State Depart ment announcement on Monday that the Saudis had agreed “in prin ciple” to use AWACS radar planes for joint surveillance of the southern Persian Gulf.

The $1 trillion spending plan was approved 215-201, with only three Republicans in favor. Final enactment by the Senate was expected Wednesday despite opposi tion by the GOP minority there as well. |[ • r MTiTnl The Democrats united behind their budget under continued fire by Reagan. In a speech to a business group Tuesday, the president said Congress’ plan “de clared war on American jobs” because it calls for raising taxes by $ 19.3 billion next year.
