CALL 777-7726 , Adoption program saves pets By JOHN ROBERTS Staff writer Many students visiting the back patio of the Russell House Saturday afternoon made new lifetime friends. The friend may have been a puppy or a kitten, but the Adopt-a-Pet Day program, sponsored by Gamma Beta Phi Honor Society in cooperation with the Animal Protection League, found good homes for six neglected and abandoned animals. The purpose of the program was to find new homes for animals that were injured, abused or abandoned, said Lisa Suggs, accounting senior and Gamma Beta Phi president. Four dogs and two cats were adopted, she said. "Because pets aren't allowed at USC, a lot of students can't adopt," Suggs said, "but this is a place where they can donate money to the Animal Protection League or donate dog and cat food. "The honor society is donating $1,000 to the Animal Protection League," Suggs said. The Animal Protection League, which suppied the animals for Adopt-a-Pet Day, is the only "nokill" organization in Columbia and is a non-profit, volunteer organization, Suggs said. "We are supported solely by donations and fund raisers," said Lib Tucker, Animal Protection League president. Unlike the Richland County Pound, which put more than 22,000 dogs and cats to sleep in 1987, the league takes in as many animals as it can and cares for them until they die or are adopted into a good home, Tucker said. "We have about 40 dogs and the same number of cats," she said. "When taking in a animal, we choose the injured first, then the abused and abandoned." Because of a lack of funds, the league is limited to the number of animals it can care for. The league owes $10,000 in veterinary bills, Tucker said. "The response we've had has been verv enod." Siipps caiH "If wc'H had it on a weekday, the response would have been better because we could have attracted commuting students who can adopt." Puppies and kittens that are not spayed or neutered cost $25. Cats and dogs that are sterilized cost $35.

The day began with a speech by Dean William Bridgers of the University of Alabama's School of Public Health. The lack of effective AIDS legislation is as much an epidemic as the disease itself, Bridgers told an audience of about 100 people in the School of Public Health's auditorium. More legislation and public policies are needed to- effectively combat Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, Bridges said. "No matter how you might have previously defined public health, I think your definition is no longer accurate," said Bridgers, who is also the director of the Lister Hill Center for Health Policies. Public health is responsible for ensuring health care for AIDS patients, he said. "Five years ago, many people in public health were still very skeptical that AIDS would become the terrifying threat that it is now," Bridgers said. Legislation is also needed to pre vent discrimination ot AIDS patients and carriers of the HIV-AIDS virus ie Gamecock lay.
