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.

Some USC students and faculty
members turned their attention to the
questions surrounding the AIDS
epidemic as the university observed

I* t ui ivi niiyu isa.y i liuiiuay.
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
