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

Dr. Mark Drew, assistant professor

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,

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.”

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.

five years. 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.

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.
