Fifteen members of A&M’s stu dent chapter of the American Asso ciation of Equine Practitioners trav eled to Delta Downs Racetrack in Louisiana where they gained first hand experience about a veterinar ian’s role at a racetrack. “It gave us an insight to the way racetrack veterinarians do things in day-to-day life that may differ from what we learn in school,” Kent Ar nold, second-year A&M veterinary student, said. “All of us who partici pated in the trip are interested in equine medicine, and it gave us an opportunity to visit equine practi tioners and see what we could expect when we graduate.” Saturday’s activities began at 8 a.m. when the students met with three track veterinarians. The group divided up and spent the morning doing rounds with the vets. “The trainers were breezing the horses on the track in the morning and getting them warmed up,” Ar nold said. “The track pretty much closes in the afternoon so the horses can rest up for the night races. “At 12:30, we had a luncheon and a track employee told us about Delta Downs’ history and showed us how to read a race form.” After lunch, one of the track vt|. erinarians took the students on i tour of his breeding farm. “He had a nice ultrasound unitu determine how far along (in thtj pregnancies) the mares are,”Arnolj said. “The third-year students ha\( been exposed to more, but it was first time for some of the first-ant second-year students to see how ultrasound unit works.” At 6 p.m., the students toured tit test barn where horses aretestedfoi drugs after racing. The winnere each race is tested along with at one other horse, usually at random Arnold said. “We watched them test horse from the first race,” he said. “Tit vet who tests the horses fordrugsisi state employee and doesn’t wort with horses in his private practice," After the first race, the student! went to the clubhouse with the gen eral public and spent the evenin; betting on horses, Arnold said. Arnold said this was the seventl annual trip that AAEP has taken Delta Downs. Dr. Sonny Todd, one of the track veterinarians, has been instrumental in the trip's success each year, Arnold said. Todd ; uated from A&M’s veterinary col lege in 1964. “Dr. Todd hosts the trip even year,” Arnold said. “He’s friendly and helpful. He’s excited about vet erinary medicine and he put on a good program for us.” Activists protest at UT against animal research AUSTIN (AP) — Animal welfare activists gathered Monday at the University of Texas to protest the use of animals in laboratory experi ments, which they say are inhumane and unnecessary. About 20 students and non-stu dents calling themselves Campus Animal Rights Activists said they wanted to “enlighten people about animal suffering and exploitation.” “Alternative non-animal testing methods do exist,’’ said Laura Zabo- roski, a UT junior and speaker for the group. She said cosmetic compa nies use animals to test nail polish, deodorant, lipstick, toothpaste, shampoo and other products. Testing methods often make ani mals “experience unbearable pain before they die,” Zaboroski said. Laura Barnekow, a former UT employee and member of the group, said drug research on animals is un necessary because other methods, such as cloning cells or using human organs donated for science, can be used. She also said human and animal physiologies differ, making animal research unreliable. The group later picketed the UT- Austin Animal Resources Center, which oversees animal research on campus. Contacted by the Associated Press, Dr. Jerry Fineg, director of the center, said about 18,000 ani mals are used in campus research yearly. Cats and dogs are obtained from animal shelters, and non-do mestic animals, such as monkeys, birds, rats and mice, are bought from commercial breeders, he said. The university also conducts AIDS and cancer research on ani mals in Bastrop County in conjunc tion with M.D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute of Houston, Fi neg said. He said all animal research on campus is overseen by a committee, which determines if experimenta tion warrants that animals suffer. Fineg said treatment of laboratory animals “is spelled out in writing in numerous public health and USDA (United States Department of Agri culture) regulations” that research ers must follow. He said some animals suffer but that such testing is carefully over seen and is minimal. “This comes about when a partic ular research protocol justifies that any use of an anesthetic or tranquil izer type drug will interfere with any analysis they are looking for,” Fineg said. “We still take every measure to make sure the animal is protected,' Fineg said. “Then that animal is sac rificed shortly thereafter. Theseani trials are decapitated to bring about immediate death.” He said the basic physiology of vertebrates “i$ very closely akin to what is seen in humans.” Ex-clergyman finds new calling in iris-raising LEWISVILLE (AP) -Heri Sprowls spent 43 years pounding a pulpit and trying to extract miracles from daffy deacons and dozing con gregations. Then he discovered the iris-a common plant with daggerlike leaves and delicate flowers that bloom atop a tall green stalk. The colorful wonders wrought by the retired Christian Church clergy man have earned him numerous awards and a permanent place in the annals of the American Iris Society. “I think the iris is popular because some bloom so early that it’s the first real color in your garden, ahead of the roses, the marigolds and zinnias After a winter of browns, it conies along when you’re really hungry for something bright and cheery,” said Sprowls, 72, president of the Iris So ciety of Dallas. “The iris has been called the poor man’s orchid because it’s cheaper and easier to grow,” Sprowls said The average iris costs about $3, al though rare varieties, including some of those developed by Sprowls, sell for as much as $35 a plant. He has registered seven varieties with the national society and said he will register 10 more this year. “If you don’t have any irises and would like to get started with some landscape varieties, you should come to one of the society’s sales (in Au gust and September),” he said “They cost only 50 cents. They’re good irises, but the growers have lost track of what they are, so we can’t guarantee what color you’re get ting.” BillsfllDDE]?
