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.

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.

In the two years he has lived

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.

These groups have uncovered

Saudi Arabia agrees to stfiei
probe in gulf area for mil)
WASHINGTON (AP) — Saudi
Arabia, broadening its cooperation
with the United States, has agreed to
search the Persian Gulf off Kuwait
for Iranian mines and has desig
nated hospitals for American forces
in case of emergencies, a senior U.S.
official said Tuesday.
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.

But a U.S. request that the Saudis
permit jet fighters to land for fuel is
not under “active” discussion, said
the official, who demanded anonym

The diplomatic sources, insisting
on anonymity, said there was noth

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House on Tuesday
passed a Democratic budget for fiscal 1988 that con
fronts President Reagan with a tax increase while reject
ing his call for more military spending and cuts in do
mestic programs.
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.

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.
