Conference to provide information for owners of exotic pets News in Brief Battalior BY AMY CURTIS The Battalion The Exotic Pets Conference will offer information on the care of an imals from birds to iguanas. The conference is Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Multidisci plinary Building and is open to practicing veterinarians and veteri nary medicine students. Dr. Mark Drew, assistant professor of zoological medicine, said the con ference is an annual event that helps keep veterinarians up to date with happenings in the field of veterinary medicine. He said the conference will cover topics such as endocrine dis eases, viruses of birds and general health of snakes and birds. Drew said exotic pets encompass many small animals like birds, fer rets, mice, rabbits, snakes, iguanas and other reptiles. He said the con ference will be in lecture format. “It is more of a general conference rather than specific,” Drew said. Drew said the conference is sponsored by the Office of Contin uing Education and the zoological medicine division of the depart ment of Large Animal Medicine and Surgery. Carolyn Wallace, coordinator of the College of Veterinary Medi cine’s Continuing Education office, said the conference has been of fered every December for the past A&M Foundation offers annuities to donors gift BY MELISSA JORDAN The Battalion Ticket Sal es Wednesday Thurs Thurs Fri Sat & Sun Dec 2 Dec 3 Dec 3 Dec 4 Dec 5 & 6 4pm-8pin 4pm-7pm 5pm-8pm 3 pm-6 pm 3pm-9pm ACCT MGMT FINC ECON BANA MATH ALL CLASSES ALL CLASSES The Texas A&M Foundation is offering gift annuities, which will allow donors to receive partially tax-free returns on their donations for the remainder of their life. Dennis Prescott, vice president for development at the Texas A&M Foundation, said gift annuities of fer important differences from charitable remainder unitrusts, which the foundation has made available to donors for a number of years. Prescott said gift annuities are a contract between the gift and the donor that give the donor life time partially tax-free returns on their donation. “I’m really happy about it be cause it’s another service we can offer both to the University and to the donor,” he said. Prescott said gift annuities offer competitive payout rates and are secure instruments because they are backed by the full asset base of the foundation. Gift annuities are available for a minimum donation of $10,000, but payments can be re ceived only by people 50 years of age or older. At the termination of the an nuity, 25 percent of the remainder of the fund goes back to the Texas A&M Foundation and 75 percent goes to the University program designated by the donor. Prescott said the lower mini mum of gift annuities makes it eas ier for more people to support the University through donations. “That’s a lot more attainable to people,” he said. “We want to cov er as many of the bases as we can. This covers people that might not be covered any other way. ” Prescott said gift annuities have been utilized by many charities and are successful. “They’re really popular, and we hope they will be [popular] here too,” Prescott said. RoseAnn Thomas, manager of communications, said gift annu ities are an easy type of donation for individuals to make. “Gift annuities are just one more tool that will allow a wider group of people to participate in supporting the University,” Thomas said. “Ultimately the re sult will be more financial sup port for the University.” ;r^3 BREITLING 1884 CHRONOMAT At a time when installments unerringly cope with Mach 1 flight data, continued improvements to the mechanical chronograph simply underscore that there’s more to time than technology. A movement’s intricate beauty or a hand- polished case’s lustrous gleam do put technological progress in a broader perspective. Like the Concord, the world’s first but surely not last super sonic transport, CHRONOMATS draw time and space ever closer with aesthetic excellence as well as outstanding technical performance.

Wallace said many vet erinarians are interested in exotic pets and pet products. “Exotic pets are becoming more popular with people in cities,” she said. Wallace said there will be confer ence time devoted to actual case stud ies, problems that vets have actually encountered in their practices. Wallace said there will be 100 vet erinarians and students present. She said that the topics were chosen by Dr. James Johnson and based on suggestions of people who attended the conference last year. She said that the suggestions were also based on problems veterinarians had en countered in their own clinics. £V Convict’s body pulled from Trinity River HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — Death row inmate Martin Gurule, the subject of a massive manhunt since he escaped the Ellis Unit on Thanksgiving night, was found dead in the TYinity River about a mile away Thursday. Gurule’s bloated corpse was discovered about 5:30 p.m. be neath a bridge by two off-duty prison employees fishing near the community of Riverside, said prison spokesman Larry Todd. “We are confirming it is him, based upon the prison clothing that he was wearing and based upon facial features,” Todd said. “The body had deterioriated from being under water.’’ The body was found about a mile east of the prison at the mouth of Harmon Creek, which empties into the Trinity River. “It was clearly the insense pressure put on him by search teams and dogs and horseback that forced him to swim Harmon Creek,” spokesperson Larry Fitzgerald said. The creek and river had been swift from recent rains.
