Med Center blames renovation
By GREG LARSON Staff Reporter
Antiquated research centers and dirt from a renovation project are responsible for some of the deficiencies in an animal care unit criticized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, University of Kansas Medical Center officials said yesterday.
The 12-page USDA report last week criticized the animal care unit for not conforming to USDA standards. If the Med Center does not meet deficiencies, part of $4.6 million in federal research grants could be lost.
D. V.M. Templeman, director of the animal care unit, said the report was "a little unfair" because the floors in seven to eight rooms in the animal care unit had been resurfaced just before the investigation was conducted.
"They didn't give us allowance for the dirt," he said. "But we are responsible for some of the deficiencies they cited."
BILLY HUDSON. DEAN of research at the Med Center, said rust spots, peeling paint and dim lights were recurring problems for at the animal care unit.
"Correcting these problems is a continual process," he said. "Cages are cleaned routinely, but it depends on how much water the basic problem is antiquated facilities."
"The state of the art for an animal care facility has greatly changed in the last 20 years, and we haven't had the money to meet those changes."
The unit on the fifth floor of Wahi Hall is 23 years old, Templeman said, and has had no major renovations since 1962.
Minor structural and animal care equipment problems have been corrected since the report was made, both officials said.
Hudson said chemicals had been removed from areas where animal food was stored, and rust spots, dim stains, and peeling wall paint had been fixed.
TEMPLEMAN SAID A rusty pipe cited in the report and other rusty items were either treated or removed from the care unit.
such as improving ventilation in the surgery rooms and laboratories, would take money to correct, Hudson said.
"About $3 to $4 million is needed to completely renovate the facility," he said.
The Med Center had planned to renovate the animal care unit in 1987 but now the renovation may have to be started sooner, according to Roger Lambson, vice chancellor for health policy and program development at the Med Center.
A two-phase plan to renovate the animal care unit was approved by the Board of Regents two years ago, Lambson said.
But major renovation projects.
"The first phase called for a $1.5 million renovation of the animal care facility," he said. "The second phase called for a $1.45 million satellite animal care facility to be built.
"With the recent problem the question is, can we wait?" he said. "The Regents told us to look at these plans, re-evaluate them and make a new presentation."
A Student Senate bill that would establish funds for black leaders and controversial figures to speak at the University of Kansas next month passed out of the University Affairs Committee with a favorable recommendation last night.
Controversial leaders may visit
The Finance Committee will review the bill before it is sent to the full Senate for a vote.
Louis Farrarakh, a member of the Nation of Islam; Richard Butler, a member of Aryan Nation; Emmann Cleaver Cleveland, Kansas City. Mo., city councilman; and Andrew Young, Atlanta
mayor, will speak to KU students March 27 and 28 if the bill passes the Senate.
LaDale George, Black Panther senicator and sponsor of the bill, said the four men had accepted his invitation to speak on what he mentioned that the University provide secure security for their protection.
George said he had requested $8,000 from Senate unallocated funds to finance the speakers. The governor is current issues and concerns.
"We feel this is necessary
because the University, in our opinion, neglects sensitive topics," George said. "They're going to do something that is not addressed at the University."
If the bill is approved, Farrakhan and Butler will appear in Woodruff Auditorium of the Kansas Union. Cleaver and Young will speak in the ballroom. Admission is free and open to all.
the speakers would highlight the activities of Alpha Week, which is sponsored by the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity.

A RESPONSE TO PETER MUNRO NEELY, PH.D
The January 29th Journal-World contains a letter from one Peter Munro Neely, Ph.D., in which Dr. Neely says that because "Overpopulation...the killer of man, animal, and land alike." (is a) problem for which there is no technological solution. What is required is population control—not just birth control, but bona fide population control...if birth control is insufficient to address the severity of the problem, then infanticide, euthanasia, and triage must be resorted to...control of both human and animal populations must be practiced...if the present misery is to be reduced."
Dr. Neely evidently doesn't know that the most accomplished of history's many enthusiastic practitioners of population control—Adolf Hitter, Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse-Tung, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, and the Ayatollah Khomeini—are not highly regarded in the free world because of the very extermination programs each of them employed.
These sculptors of the practical refused to limit themselves to the forms of population control advocated by Dr. Neely—"infanticide, euthanasia, and triage"—and killed other innocents. As genocide is a less costly form of population control than "infanticide, euthanasia, and triage", I can't understand why Dr. Neely omits it from his list of solvents.
After all, Dr. Neely does want to see "the present misery,
reversed."
