Kerrey intends to support Clinton in race
Continued from Page 1
Kerrey said, “and I did not begin
to do that until very late in the
campaign."
Kerrey won a big victory Feb.
25 in South Dakota, but never
translated his assets into
widespread appeal outside his
own region. He consistently fin
ished at or near the bottom of the
pack.
Kerrey, whose campaign is
about $1 million in debt, said
money problems contributed to
his decision. "We ran out of gas,"
he said.
There are four Democrats still
in the field — Arkansas Gov. Bill
Clinton, former Massachusetts
Sen. Paul Tsongas, Iowa Sen. Tom
Harkin and former California
Gov. Jerry Brown.
On the campaign trail, Kerrey
insisted that Clinton was un
electable because of questions
about the Arkansas governor's use
of a draft deferment to avoid serv
ing in Vietnam. But Thursday Ker
rey called his attacks "political hy
perbole" and said he would cam
paign "feverishly" for Clinton if
he is the nominee.
"The only unelectable politi
cian running for president of the
United States is George Bush,"
Kerrey said.
For weeks in New Hampshire,
site of the critical first primary,
Tsongas was perceived as a re
gional candidate and Clinton was
beset by allegations about his per
sonal life. But Kerrey was unable
to attract voters searching for an
alternative.
The first-term senator was an
uneven campaigner who alter
nately impressed and bored audi
ences. He seemed to move weekly
from one theme to another —
trade, health, shaking up govern
ment, patriotism, electability. He
was blunt about his prospects and
his plans, to the point of saying he
would raise taxes to pay for
health-care reforms and infras
tructure investment.

Associate dean defends research on animals
Continued from Page 1
cultures, and tissue cultures are
just a few of the alternatives.
"We feel that animals do not
have the same physical systems as
humans and technology should
take the place of animals," Oester-
ling said.
Smith said although alterna
tives to animal testing have been
proposed, these suggestions can
not offer sufficient answers to
problems faced by the medical
community.
"Medical researchers use com
puter models or tissue cultures
whenever they provide the appro
priate results," he said.
"Unfortunately, the cases
where those can be used are very,
very limited."
The main assumption held by
animal rights advocates is that an
imals have the same rights as hu
mans.
Oesterling suggests that re
searchers and scientists need to
concentrate on preventing disease
through dietary regulation in hu
mans rather than finding cures for
these diseases by using animals.
"Animals are experiencing
pain in drawn-out experiments
and many animals are used over
and over in different experi
ments," Oesterling said. "Re
searchers can do anything in the
lab and get away with it if it's so-
called research."
Ninety percent of the animals
used at the A&M College of
Medicine - and in most research
laboratories - are rats and mice,
while the remaining ten percent
consists of various animals from
monkeys, dogs, cats, bats and sev
eral others.
"We use animals as models of
human conditions," Smith said.
"Which particular type of animal
used often depends on what par
ticular study we're doing."
Using animals to model hu
man conditions is essential to sci
entists because each particular an
imal may have organs that are
similar or comparable to the par
ticular human organ being stud
ied.
"The ultimate defense of using
animals is that there is no substi
tute," Smith said.
"Every medical advance has
been made by animal experimen
tation."
The A&M College of Medicine,
as well as the entire research com
munity, views animal testing as a
serious responsibility and makes
every effort to ensure in the hu
mane and ethical treatment of ani
mals.
The National Institutes of
Health (NIH) sets the standards
for regulating research facilities.
Failure by a medical research facil
ity to comply with regulations can
result in loss of state grants and
funds for that institution.
Animal rights advocates have
recently been put in the limelight
as a result of violent demonstra
tions against research facilities.
intif

In spite of drastic actions tab
by animal rights groups, a recei
poll performed in Texas by tl
Public Policy Resources Laboralj
ry at Texas A&M University i
cated that 80 percent of the li
residents surveyed approve

search.
In addition, more than 83
cent feel that animal testing has

breakthroughs.
A publication by the Texas
ciety for Biomedical Resean
