Official: UNL ready to comply I
with animal-research regulations!
By Cindy Kimbrough
Staff Reporter__
While some universities arc scram
bling to comply with new rules gov
erning animal research, UNL stands
ready for the Aug. 14 deadline, the
director of the Institutional Animal
Care Program said.
Gene White said that when Con
gress passed the 1985 Animal Wel
fare Act, which suggested some
changes in cage sizes and other facili
ties in which animals are kept, the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln made
adjustments.
The new requirements were planned
during construction of the animal
science building at UNL in the mid
1980s, White said.
UNL’s planning puts it ahead of
several universities that have had to
write up new animal-care plans and
will have to spend on new “hard
ware” and on more help to exercise
research animals, according to an
article in The Chronicle of Higher
Education.
The changes came after the issu
ance of new regulations in February
. by the Department of Agriculture.

This is really not any
thing new that we didn t
know before. It was
something we knew
was coming and pre
pared for ahead of time»

Animal Care Program

The regulations made the changes
suggested in the 1985 act official.
“This is really not anything new
that we didn’t know before,” White
said. “It was something we knew was
coming and prepared for ahead of
time.”
The 1985 changes look a while to
come into effect because it took a
couple of years to write the regula
tions, he said.
White said agricultural animal
research at UNI. is in compliance
with all National Institute of Health
and USDA guidelines. Compliance is
ensured by NIH and USDA inspec
tions once every year, he said.
The Institute of Animal Care and
Use also inspects the facilities twice a
year, White said.
Although UNL’s animal research
labs are up to standards, there are
always improvements needed as time
goes on, he said.
“We don’t have near enough fa
cilities so we have asked for more
money for a joint-use animal facil
ity.”
Requirements other than those for
facilities also were tightened. New
nationwide requirements stipulate that
institutions have written plans for the
exercise of dogs and the psychologi
cal well-being of non-human primates.
White said the requirements don’t
really apply to UNL’s agriculture
research, because UNL does not use
non-human primates in research and
only four to five dogs, which arc not
kept longer than overnight, arc used
in a physiology teaching class.
For its research, UNL uses cattle,
sheep, swine, poulU7, rabbits, mice,
rats and guinea pigs and has used
some goats and exotic animals, he
said.
Minority
researchers
encouraged
By Tabitha Hiner
Senior Reporter
Minority graduate students should
realize they will have special pres
sures placed on them and shouldn’t
give up when submitting research S
materials to publications, panelists at ,
a symposium Wednesday said.
Miguel Carranza, an associate
professor of sociology and ethnic
studies, told the 25 people attending
the 1991 Minority Graduate Research
Symposium that minority graduate
students have unique pressures fac
ing them while researching because
of their backgrounds.
The key to successful researching,
he said, is for students to carefully
analyze their own research skills.
“As graduate students, I think wc
need to reflect on our interests, on our
values and our goals,” Carranza said.
But if minority graduate students
want to research minority issues, he
said, they should expect people to
ask, “What kind of real research do
vou do?”
Where they want to get published
and what kind of impact the research
will have are the next things minority
students should consider when re
searching, he said.
If a person gets published only in
minority publications, Carranza said,
he or she risks being accused of nol
producing material publishable by a
so-called respected journal.
During the question-and-answer
period, audience members asked how
to deal with such criticism.
Panel member Keith Parker, an
assistant professor of sociology, re
sponded that if students spend too
much time trying to dispel the myths,
they’re spending too little time on
research.
Although lime is a precious com
modity, once students submit mate
rial for publication, they shouldn t
expect to be published immediately,
the panelists said.
“My first publication came about
as a result of at least four resubmis
sions,” Parker said. “It’s not an easy
task.”
Rejection isn’t necessarily a bad
thing, he said.
“Don’t give up because your work
is rejected.... It will humble you and
make you a stronger person over the
long haul,” he said.
Panel member Elizabeth Kean, an
assistant professor of curriculum and
instruction, said a few steps should be
followed once material is rejected.
“You accommodate as much as
you can. You revise it. And then you
fire that sucker back.”
