AUSTIN (AP) — A center that provides animals for University of Texas research has increased security since a group of animal rights advocates broke into an other university’s lab. “We’ve gone to rigid enforcement of security proce dures every day,” said Jerry Fineg, director of the Ani mal Resource Center on the UT-Austin campus.

In last month’s incident at Texas Tech University, animal rights advocates took five cats used in sleep ex periments and did $70,000 worth of damage. The break-in was the first in Texas. The Animal Resource Center has 22 African mon keys, dozens of rabbits, a few dogs and cats, and thou sands of rodents. Only the monkeys are unavailable for “acute stud ies,” the term for experiments that may injure or kill. “Ultimately all of the (others) are euthanized,” Fineg told the Austin American-Statesman. Fineg, a veterinarian, added that pain “is not ever considered a normal part of an experiment.” “But many times, it is unavoidable,” he said. “We can ameliorate the pain with an anesthetic in many cases. Investigators are not as cold-blooded as they are some times made out to be.” Animal rights advocate Ann Koros distances herself from those who commit crimes for the cause. But she says animal research is pointless violence. “I don’t think anyone has the right to use any animal for any purpose,” Koros, founder of Animal Rights Kinship Inc. in Austin, said. “Certainly not to make some new and improved dishwasher detergent or something like that. “Ultimately, we want to stop all animal testing. They’ve been doing cancer research for years and years and years, and there’s just a small percentage of people who have actually been helped or progress that has really taken place,” she said. Anthropologist Claude Bramblett of UT does his re search at the Animal Resource Center behind a two-way mirror, studying the behavior of the African monkeys. “If you work with them, you develop strong feelings about them and a deep respect,” Bramblett said. “But there were roughly a dozen monkeys, along with a lot of dogs, used in the development of a rabies vaccine,” he said. “I’m sure it was not friendly to them. But think of the tremendous benefit to humans and dogs and cats. Sometimes, the possibilities are so great that it would be unthinkable not to do it.” Construction contractor seeks excavation of ship GALVESTON (AP) —A con struction contractor believes it’s time to raise the TSS Zavala, an early 19th century Texas Navy steamer that now rests 12 feet un derground. “It needs to be done,” said Robert Weeks, a construction business owner who has no expe rience excavating ships. “And it needs to be done correctly.” Weeks wants to raise enough money to salvage the Zavala, a 201-foot-long, steam-powered ship that’s buried under a dirt parking lot near Galveston’s Pier 29. The vessel was discovered in November 1986 by the National Underwater and Marine Agency Inc., but the Denver-based group couldn’t afford to excavate it. Now Weeks has launched an effort to bring the Zavala above ground once again. He has formed the Navy of the Republic of Texas Inc., a non-profit group, in an effort to raise the estimated $70,000 to $100,000 needed for thejob. “I’ve been working on it for a year,” Weeks said. “I’ve got a background in organization f« something like this. I amintht construction business and iar with what we have todowiil Craig Dirgo, special project director for the agency that loj cated the ship, said he is glaii someone has taken an interesu the ship, which, he added, isac important part of T exas histon “The T exas Navy has bett: overlooked, and Texas is theoali state that had its own nan, Dirgo said. The ship was named after h renzo de Zavala, the first vice president of the Republic d T exas. It was commissioned in 1839 and is the only Texas Nan ship ever to be found. T he Zavala’s primary job was to protect Galveston and the up per Texas coast from invasions from Mexico. It participated in one battle when it was sent iodic Yucatan Peninsula in 1840toai(i a rebel faction in a Mexican cinl war.

Khaled Hasnawi, the Algerian ambassador, also met with Hoss and later with Sheik Sobhi Tofaili, a se nior Hezbollah leader. Tofaili and Hasnawi told report ers they focused on ways of getting Israel to free Sheik Abdul Karim Obeid, a cleric affiliated with Hez bollah. Israeli commandos abducted Obeid on July 28 from his home in south Lebanon. Israel has offered to trade Obeid and other Lebanese Shiites it holds for the Western hostages and three Israeli soldiers held in Lebanon. Hasnawi sounded optimistic about a swap when he began his me diation last week on orders of Chadli Bendjedid, president of Algeria. Asked on Monday about his views, the ambassador said: “I haven’t set a deadline in any of my previous statements. It might,{ake two or even three years.” Goulding said he was unable to determine whether Lt. Col. William R. Higgins was killed by his pro-Ira- nian captors. State lawmakers support proposed amendment requiring jurors to be informed of parole laws AUSTIN (AP) —Juries must know about pa role laws to make honest decisions when sentenc ing criminals, said law enforcement officials Monday in support of a proposed constitutional amendment to give jurors that information. “This proposition will take the handcuffs off the people and let the public join in the fight against crime,” said Travis County District Attor ney Ronnie Earle. “To keep the public in the dark this way is a shame and a disgrace, and the result of this is the kind of crime rate that we see today,” Earle said at a news conference with lawmakers and rep resentatives of the Texas Police Chiefs Associa tion, Texas District and County Attorneys Asso ciation and police officer associations from Austin and Houston. The proposed amendment on the Nov. 7 bal lot would allow judges to inform juries about the le effects that good-time and parole laws have on the time that a convicted person actually serves. Sen. J. E. “Buster” Brown, R-Lake Jackson, and Rep. Dan Morales, D-San Antonio, head a coalition called “Texans for Truth in Sentenc ing” that hopes to raise and spend $25,000 to push for passage of the proposition. The two lawmakers sponsored the proposed amendment during the regular legislative session. Morales has announced his bid for attorney general, while Brown is considering a run at that office. Among those on the coalition’s executive com mittee are representatives of the Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Texas, National Victims Center, district attorneys, sheriffs and, police chiefs.

ISlttfn “I have not been able to ascertain whether Colonel Higgins was still al ive,” he said. “I hope that he is but I haven’t been able to confirm that he is. Equally, I haven’t been able to confirm that he is dead. The ques tion remains an open one.” A group calling itself the Organi zation of the Oppressed on Earth said it hanged the U.S. Marine offi cer July 31 in retaliation for Israel’s abduction of Obeid three days ear lier. i Higgins, 44, commanded U.N. truce observers when he was kidnap ped Feb. 17, 1988, in south Leb anon. civilians and police, Bledsoe said. “There is a disproportionate number of minorities that do die in law enforcement custody,” he said. “Dallas is in a very volatile situa tion. The Hemphill case can repeat itself in other Texas cities,” he sai- d,referring to police shootings in Dallas and the 1987 Loyal Garner Jr. case in Hemphill. Garner was arrested and died from a beating he received in jail. Charges against three white law offi cers in the slaying were dismissed. “We have a problem with people not knowing how to relate to mem bers of the minority community. The proper standards have not been set in order to address the problem,” Bledsoe said. He said racism is the reason a black has yet to be appointed to the 14-member commission. Nine of the 14 members are . appointed by the governor. He cited the 1986 furor when a former commission member, Suz anne Hildebrand of San Antonio, used a racial slur in addressing a black officer after he refused to al low her to enter a restricted parking lot. Bledsoe and Tippitt planned to meet Monday with James Huffines, Clements’ appointments secretary, to submit a list of 21 possible candi dates to fill three spots on the com mission whose terms expire Aug. 31. Rossanna Salazar, Clements’ press secretary, said the governor will con sider those presented and others. “We are looking at a number of peo ple and the governor will appoint the most qualified Texan to the com mission,” she said. “Among the people being consid ered are minorities,” she said.

In a lawsuit filed in Houston, the smaller Times Herald asked a Texas judge to prevent Morning News owner A.H. Belo Corp. from acquiring exclusive Dallas- area rights to 26 comics, columns and other features it currently publishes. The lawsuit claims Belo and Universal Press Syndi cate will “inexorably harm competition in the Dallas market” if the rights are granted. CASA BLANCA APART MENTS: 2 bdrm, furn. & un- furn. units, SPECIAL PRIVATE BEDROOM DORM PLAN. 4110 College Main. 846-1413. 846-9196. ISOttfn ROOMMATE WANTED The Times Herald chose Houston seeking neutrality, President L.L. “Ike” Massey said. “Both the Times Herald and the Morning News have loyal and ded icated followings in Dallas and we think it is best to hear this suit only on its merits,” he said. Belo announced last week it had formed a joint ven ture with Universal Press Syndicate to explore tele vision programming possibilities for some of the syndi cate’s features, which include such comic strips as Doonesbury and The Far Side, popular advice column Dear Abby and columnists Erma Bombeck and James J. Kilpatrick. As part of that agreement, Belo —which also owns Dallas’ top television station — acquired the exclusive rights to the syndicate’s features in the market. “We regret that it is necessary to go to the courts to protect our rights and those of our readers who have loyally followed these features in the Times Herald," Massey said in a prepared statement. “We like competition and believe it is vital to the Dal las market, but we want to compete fairly and honestly. “The Belo company is attempting to unfairly in crease its influence in the Dallas market, where it al ready operates the larger newspaper, the leading tele vision station and seven community newspapers,” Massey said.
