Vet school recruits for endowed chair during symposium By Holly Becka Of The Battalion Staff A&M’s College of Veterinary Medicine on Tuesday concluded its two-day symposium that focused on clinical nutrition research while hopefully attracting an endowed chairman for the department of small animal medicine and surgery. The department received an en dowed professorship from private donations for use in veterinary clini cal nutrition, and the money has been matched by the University’s faculty scholars program. Dr. John August, head of the small animal medicine and surgery department and interim associate dean for clinical programs, said the symposium honored the donors of the endowed professorship while ad vertising for the position of en dowed chair. “We’re using this to honor donors and to recruit for the position to make the community in clinical nu trition aware that the position is available,’’ August said. “It’s been advertised nationally, but we had hopes that potential applicants would come to the symposium to see what Texas A&M has to offer. “It also has given us a chance to get people nationwide familiar with the ongoing programs that are al ready present at A&M in the way of clinical nutrition.” Researchers from Baylor College of Medicine, the University of Flor ida, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and A&M’s veterinary medicine, medicine, agriculture and life sci ences colleges highlighted current research. August said the seminar covered a variety of tppics in comparative nu trition, or nutrition affecting human and animal health. The emphasis was placed on research findings in nutrition and maintenance of health rather than nutrition and disease, he said. Topics ranged from the effects of nutrients on the immune response and the interplay between infection and nutritional status, to the effects of nutrition on the performance of a race horse and the role of nutrition in clinical medicine. Senate committee OKs E. Texas DEA force ©1989 Domino’s Pizza, Inc. WASHINGTON (AP) — A fed eral drug task force operating in East Texas, considered one of the nation’s hot spots for illegal produc tion of methamphetamines, would be made permanent under legis lation approved Tuesday by Senate budget writers. The spending bill approved by a Senate Appropriations subcommit tee also provides initial funding to begin planning a Drug Enforcement Administration aviation center at Fort Worth’s Alliance Airport, said Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas. Under the legislation, $600,000 of $4.2 million set aside for DEA task forces would go to the East Texas operation. “It used to be that people left the big cities and moved to East Texas to get away from drugs,” Gramm said. “Now they’re moving to East Texas to make drugs. Drug dealers have discovered that the rural, heavily forested areas of East Texas are per fect for the dangerous business of manufacturing methampheta mines.” Gramm said the legislation would provide full staffing and full fund ing for the task force, which serves 18 counties surrounding Tyler, and would “make them a permanent agency.” “In the past they have had a tem porary program that could be dropped at any time,” Gramm said. “They have not had the funding to supplement local law enforcement operations, they have not had a full contingent of DEA personnel. East Texas has a very severe problem.” Robert J. Wortham, the U.S. at torney for the Eastern District of Texas, said in a recent interview that the area’s Piney Woods and sparse population make it a favored loca tion for producing methampheta mines. The dense trees conceal the meth- amphetamine labs, which are located in isolated areas because of the strong odor that they produce, Wortham said. “We have to be one of the capitals of the United States in dealing with methamphetamines,” Wortham said. In addition to the methampheta- mine labs, Wortham said area law of ficers and prosecutors must also be on the alert for shrimpers using their boats to smuggle illegal drugs ashore and body shops that launder drug money and build hidden com partments in vehicles used to trans port narcotics. In addition to the DEA task force funds, the bill includes money to start planning a national operations and maintenance center for the DEA’s fleet of aircraft at Alliance Airport, Gramm said.
