Pro Football Brutality A recent book by a member of the Oakland Raiders pro football team emphasizes very nicely what's wrong with American professional football. The author, Jack Tatum, describes in the book how he and others seek to knock out members of opposing teams. He says they measure their tackling succgmi by whether their victims limp off the field or $tr$0firried off. Tatum, incidentially, is the player who tackled Darryl Stingley in 1978, a hit that left the New England player permanently paralyzed. In his book, he-says he went for an intimidating hit, not simply a tackle or an interception. Sportsmen all over the world react with astonishment to the brutality in American football. They are aghast that players are regularly carried off the field on stretchers, often with permanent injuries. That wouldn't be permitted in most civilized countries. But because Americans have grown up with the roughness and brutality of U;S.-style football and because periodically changes in the rules are made to lessen the brutality, the game continues to be played in an unsportsmanlike manner. Players sometimes use drugs to get psyched up, or to hate, and go out after their opponents with the idea of physically intimidating them. Of course, there are many more players in the game who dislike this sort of thing. Among them are Jack Lambert, who recently disagreed with Tatum's approach to the game. Lambert is acknowledged to be one of the game's best linebackers. Pro football's commissioner, and owners, should act to eliminate the kind of brutality represented by Tatum's philosophy, if the game is to continue to deserve the support from fans.

Farmers Learn How To Convert Corn To Fuel "Converting Corn to Fuel" is the title of a special seminar for farmers Saturday, Feb. 23, at the McHenry County college. The day long session is designed to give farmers expertise in setting up a processing plant to convert corn to alcohol. It is spon­ sored by the college in cooperation with the University of Illinois Cooperative Extension service, the Soil and Water Conservation district and the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation district. Speakers will include a farmer who is putting together a large still to produce alcohol for his own farm and to sell to service stations and other farm co­ operative; JwoiarmerswhoL use the by-products as feed on their dairy farms, a manufacturer of stills and a representative from the State Bureau of Tobacco, Alcohol and Firearms to speak on permits needed to set up a still. The seminar will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The cost is $15. Registration is being accepted in person on campus during regular College hours. The Veterans ad­ ministration says April 1, 1981, has been set as the new deadline for former military personnel separated before Jan. 1,1965, with undesirable discharges to apply to the Department of Defense for discharge review. The old deadline was Jan. 1, 1980. Without the extension, the former members would have been precluded from seeking upgrading by the discharge review boards because of the normal 15-year statute of limitations prescribed by law. DoD extended the deadline because of the significant | number of applications | being received. As of-Nov. 1,1979, the three discharge review boards have heard approximately Winter Special!

Animal behavior studies there show that marmosets make good mothers if they have good role models as youngsters. Animal behavior studies are necessary for successful captive breeding programs, which in many cases are the last chance for the survival of endangered animals. 3,500 waiver cases and there are nearly 5,600 <Ases pending before them. Applications for discharge review, DD Form 293, can be obtained from VA regional offices, veterans service organizations and military installations. Discharge reviews can be initiated by filing the form with the discharge review board of the service con­ cerned. ^ An index of previous discharge review board decisions is available at certain VA regional offices and at all offices of state directors of veterans affairs. These indexes are available to assist former members in preparation of their par­ ticular cases. Tommie and Susie (not their real names) were the products of broken homes. Taken at the tender age of a few months from their respective families, they eventually found each other and had children. But Tommie and Susie were lousy parents-ignoring, mutilating and even killing their babies. Susie became known as "The Killer". Such bizarre behavior might have become a social worker's nightmare except for the fact that Tommie and Susie were golden lion marmosets, a rare and endangered South American monkey, and they were living in a zoo. Instead, their case became the perplexing problem of Dr. Devra Kleiman, an expert in animal reproduction and behavior at the Smithsonian Institutions' National Zoo in Washington, D C. Why, Kleiman asked herself, did these animals, taken from their parents and reared outside their families, breed prolificacy were born at the National Zoo. The work on golden marmosets also taught reserachers another in­ valuable lesson. "Behavioral and social studies of animals are ab­ solutely necessary for breeding and raising rare and endangered animals successfully in captivity," Kleiman says. "Of course, we must also know an animal's diet and nutritional requirements, what diseases it gets and what kind of environment it needs. But if we don't know the social and breeding customs, the chances of success are nil." Behavioral studies of animals require pain­ staking, sometimes boring and always lengthy ob­ servations of their eating habits and reproductive and social activities. Ideally, these studies should take place in the animal's natural habitat, but this is not always possible. More often, researchers combine these animals are among this tiny minority." What fascinates her are both similarities and dif­ ferences in how the animals express their monogamous behavior. The maned wolf, for example, lives mainly in savanna environments, feeding on small rodents and vegetation. The males and females appear to be solitary hunters, coming together only during the mating season. The males may not stick around long enough to help raise the young. On the other hand, the male and female crab eating fox travel in pairs in the wild and jointly hold a territory against predators and in­ truders. The male and female often hunt close together and reunite after a separation with an elaborate ceremony. They may sleep in physical contact and they periodically groom each other by nibbling and licking. The male invests heavily in the survival of his offspring and helps the animals express monogamy in different ways and take a different amount of interest in raising their young. "The differences may be influenced by many things - the natural habitat of the animal and the need to stick together either for food or to keep away predators. In some cases, this also means that the male takes a heavy interest in the survival of the offspring, but not always." Kleiman tries not to draw loo many analogies between animal and human behavior, although she admits.that the patterns seen in animals are also seen in humans. "Take the American suburban middle-class family," she says. "Some women rear their children essentially alone. The male protects the home and in­ directly provides food through wages received from a job. But the male frequently has little in­ teraction with the young and weak emotional bonds with both wife and children. "We see this pattern in animals too. but the major difference is that monogamy in humans is culturally ^imposed and is not usually related to survival. "If we can come up with some factors from our animal studies that seem to promote a particular form of mating system, we may eventually learn something about evolution of these systems, and perhaps, about ourselves." Whatever the message may be for humans, the message for zoos is clear. Understanding the behavior and social customs of animals is a must for suc­ cessful breeding programs. In many cases, these programs are the last chance for endangered animals who. like the golden marmoset, have no other hope for survival. College Honors Steve Kanter Serves Business Internship Steve Kanter was one of 27 students from Lakeland college, Sheboygan, who spent January serving in: ternships in businesses or institutions. The program was paft of the college's Winterim semester. Kanter worked in Forms Control and edited and prepared graphic technical communications manuals for the various departments of a Sheboygan firm. The material which he coor­ dinated went to the super­ visors of the various operations, outlining the procedures to be followed in their area. Kanter has majors in journalism and art so the work was particularly in­ teresting to him. « Kanter, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Kanter of 1808 Oakleaf drive, McHenry, is a, junior at Lakeland. He will continue to work part-time at the firm in addition to attending his classes. The young McHenry man is secretary of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity and an editor of the campus newspaper. Art is his hobby, including pen and ink sketches, working with acrylic paints and developing photographs in his own dark room. Outdoor activities include camping and cycling.

EARNS HONORS Lisa Ann Najdowski, of 502 Livingston street, McHenry, has qualified for the "Distinguished Student" rating at Purdue university in West Lafayette, Ittd. In order to qualify for the rating, a student must have a grade point average of at least 5.5 on a scale of 6.0. Establish Deadline For Discharge Review but make such' miserable parents? The answer had more than academic in­ terest : The only way to save the golden marmosets from extinction was to learn how to breed them successfully in captivity and raise healthy offspring. Only 100 of them remain in the wild. The answer was soon provided by detailed behavioral studies of the animal in captivity and the wild. Golden marmosets live in an extended family, Kleiman and others discovered. The young marmosets like Susie must be left with their parents until a second group of young are born and raised. By having role models and by babysitting with the new youngsters from time to time, the younger mar­ mosets learned how to be good parents. Armed with this in­ formation, the National Zoo began leaving younger marmosets with their parents until an appropriate age. The result? The number of golden marmosets in captivity has grown from 69 in 1972 to over lOO worldwide. Most of these new additions ibeservations of the animals female raise the young by in their natural habitats with studies in captivity. In one such project on social behavior, Kleiman is studying three relatively rare South American animals--the maned wolf, the crab eating fox and the bush dog. These animals belong to the same family as the common household dog. They share another key feature: Like humans, all three species are monogamous, that is, one male mates with one female at a time. "Monogamy is unusual in mammals," Kleiman says. "Only 3 percent of all the world's mammals are monogamous. Humans and bringing food. The short, squat bush dog shows behavior similar to the fox. Kleiman's colleagues have even observed male bush dogs assisting in the birth of young. "These observations will help in our breeding programs," she says, "but I also want to know why these McHenry County Weather 344-3100 SALES & REPAIRS LOW PRICES! 3937 MAIN STREET Experience RENTAL PLAN 385-7661 R.
