Laws protect KU research animals
At about 3:45 p.m. yesterday a copperhead in the snake display at Dyche Hall took four young. According to the initial report, the snake and its offspring were doing well.
Virtually unnoticed events such as this occur daily at the University of Kansas. Basketball and acquisitions have pushed the number of law students to the Lawrence campus to more than 20,000.
Nkki Jochman, animal care supervisor,
sees that the University complies with all federal laws covering the treatment,
acquisition, and disposal of these research animals.
About 75 per cent of the animals are mice. The rest include rats, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, frogs, snakes, turtles and a dwarf crocodile. No dogs, cats or monkeys
are used in research on the Lawrence campus. Joachian said the KU Medical Center used these animals in some phases of its research.
"Basically I insure that the animals are gotten and treated properly," Jochman said. "The federal law is common-sense stuff dealing with food, cleanliness and so forth. The standards are really minimal. I thank people's standards are tighter than ours."
Jochman also works with the Animal Care Committee. The committee, which federal law requires, comprises eight members from various departments of the University and a veterinarian from Kansas State University.
Research projects involving animals are done in 13 campus buildings. Jochman said
Contract signed for construction of new law enforcement building
A $3.893 million contract for the construction of the new county-city judicial and law enforcement building was signed yesterday. The Douglas County Commissioners.
The contract, with the B. A. Green Construction Co., Lawrence, goes into effect Sept. 16. Completion is expected Aug. 16, 1976.
The original base bid was $3,898 million. The lower contract amount resulted because two alternate contracts were temporary and should pending the outcome of an appellate application for a grant from the Governor's Committee on Criminal Administration (GCCA).
The alternate contracts are for courtroom
millwork and fixed seating, both of which may be covered by GCCA if the grant is required.

Jochman said she had encountered few problems since assuming her job last June. There have been a few thefts of animals, she including one rabbit and several snakes.
she visited each often to insure that standards were maintained. The Department of Agriculture is in charge of inspections and a representative may arrive at any time.
Jochman said she hoped the legislature would approve funds for a new science complex at KU. She said some of the older animals in the cage were "loaded with cockroaches."

Campus cyclists . . .
Hoover said Lawrence had bike routes rather than paths because of space limitations. Routes are for joint use of bikes and bicycles, while paths are solely for bikes.
The big problem is cyclists' failing to obey signs. Hoover said, "the potential for accidents is high."
A survey of about 20 cyclists on campus revealed that they were aware of their responsibilities to comply with traffic regulations. The teachers they obeyed the law whenever possible.
One cyclist, who wished to remain unidentified, said he obeyed the law only when a police officer was present.
Another cyclist was unaware that licenses were imminent in Lawrence and asked what he should do.
Licenses are available at the Security and Parking office in Hoch Auditorium or at the Lawrence Police station, 7th and Vermont cost 25 cents. Cherie Stern costs $20.
Cherrie Saile, Lawrence senior, said the
"I've been in the middle of an intersection and cars have passed me as if I wasn't even there."
main traffic problem was that "cars don't treat bikes as vehicles."
Rick Grabill, Paola senior, said he was aware of traffic regulations but often ran errands at a bus stop.
Gene Wee, publicity chairman for the Mt.
Oread Bicycle Club, said, "People (on
bicycles) will run stop signs whether there is a $25 fine or not."
