Animal rights group:
'U' training involving
cats and pigs is illegal
By JILLIAN BERMAN
Managing News Editor
An animal rights organization launched
a formal complaint with the United States
Department of Agriculture against the
University of Michigan Health System last
week, charging that the use of cats and
pigs in a Survival Flight course for nurses
is cruel and illegal.
Is the complaint filed by People for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals, the orga-
nization calls for the USDA to investigate
UMHS's Survival Flight course. Accord-
ing to PETA Vice President of Laboratory
Investigations Kathy Guillermo, the use of
pigs and cats in the course is in violation
of the Animal Welfare Act, which governs
the treatment of animals in a laboratory
setting.
"It's indefensible and likely illegal for
the University of Michigan to maim and
kill cats and pigs," Guillermo said in an
interview.
-ut in a statement posted on the web-
ait of the Office of the Vice President for
* Research, UMHS defended the training
methods used in the course and vowed to
"cooperate fully" with the USDA investi-

Can the one-man show keep going?

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -
efore I say anything, it should be
noted that the fans who watched
Saturday's win against Notre
Dame watched what could have been
the greatest individual performance by a
Michigan player ever.
It was truly a special occasion. Denard
Robinson's feats of speed and agility and
moxie were so unbelievable that to try to
describe them with mere words seems
almost to cheapen them. Michigan
fans - not to mention all the Irish fans
who packed into Notre Dame Stadium
- should consider themselves extremely
lucky to have witnessed such an incred-
ible player's ascent into national super-

stardom.
That being said, prepare to get your
buzz effectively
killed.
I really hate to play
this role, but Ihave
to. On Saturday, Rob-
inson accounted for
502 yards of offense
(I'm sorry, just writ-
ing that makes my-
jaw drop. Re-affixing JOE
it ... now). STAPLETON
Michigan's total - -
yards, as a team?
532.
Any way you phrase it - he did, in fact,

account for more than 94 percent of the
offense - that number is either amazing
or terrifying, depending on your view.
For now, feel free tobe amazed, and
that's perfectly okay.
But here's the terrifying part: what
everyone saw on Saturday was as close
to a one-man team as you can get in foot-
ball.
Now, despite what people have
alleged, I'm not stupid - I fully realize
that there are five offensive lineman
clearing the way for every spectacular
run; there are receivers there catching
every 100-mile-per-hour pass; and there
is a defense playing valiantly while Rob-
inson is resting on the bench.

With that qualification in mind, I have
to reiterate: In football, the ultimate team
sport, this Michigan team has been as
close to a one-man team as one can be the
past two weeks.
For Michigan coach Rich Rodri-
guez, there appears tobe no limit to the
amount of carries he's willing to give
Robinson. Or if there is, it's just very
loosely defined.
, "What did I tell you last week?" Rodri-
guez said."'We can't be running him 29
times again.' We ran him 28. We're just
trying to win the game. That's more than
we wanted."
It has the ring of someone who insists

As Michigan Republican gubernatorial

his background isn't in politics.

1978. That's my only political experience,"
Snyder told a crowd of roughly 120 people
