OUR READERS WRITE (Continued from Page Al 2) ' was unsuccessful, we were obligated to consider how else to preserve an embryo transfer service as a viable entity. Time was of the essence since any significant interruption in service could mean the permanent loss of our P.E.T.S. clientele without whom the School’s teaching and research opportunities in embryo transfer would vanish. In deciding to seek an arrangement with a commercial embryo transfer service in this general area, we quickly realized that there were only three possibilities: Dr. Troop, Dr. Pettit and the Em-Tran group. Em-Tran was selected because it is a large . enough organization to handle our teaching and research requirements on a year-round - basis and because the Em-Tran veterinarians have relatively strong academic credentials. They Ihave served on the faculties of University, the of Minnesota, Colorado State" University, and the .University of Pennsylvania. However, our decision was not meant to reflect adversely on Drs. Pettit and Troop, both of whom are known to be highly competent in embryo transfer technology.

At New Bolton Center, for such an arrangement with a eroun of investors resulted “.the establishment of a large swine confinement breeding unit. This highly successful 480 sow unit gives our veterinary students an opportunity for superior training in swine medicine arid swine management, an opportunity they would otherwise not have. Despite some early apprehension, the swine industry appears to'have accepted this arrangement as a necessary way to provide training for the veterinarians who will one day serve that industry. - Dr. Tfoop’simplication that the University’ is using taxpayers’ dollars to support a competing commercial embryo transfer service is without foundation. No public funds have been or are now being used for this purpose. Dr. Evans’ training expenses were paid with private funds.

Indeed, with one exception (the Bovine Leukemia Research Center built by the National Cancer In stitute), all of New Bolton Center’s facilities were built with private funds. Moreover, our state ap propriation accounts for only 26 percent of the School’s total budget. In this new arrangement, Em- Tran will be leasing our facilities at an agreed-upon rental fee and, as a private corporation, they will be obliged to pay their fair share of state and federal taxes. In closing, I would emphasize the following points: 1. The Veterinary School is not at all interested in running a business per se; our arrangement with Em-Tran was made because they are the only organization in this region that can provide the qualified manpower to meet the School’s requirements for embryo transfer technology; and 2., the Veterinary,School has no desire to compete with any com mercial embryo transfer organization. However, it is not as though we are about to enter a new field in which pre-existing organizations would be expected to regard us as potentially dangerous competition. We were, after all, the first embryo transfer service in the region. Finally, my faculty and I regard At E.M. Herr's. Is Your Savings a OF WOVEN WIRE 5 Gauge - 4xB & 5x7 s 2*39sq.Ft. No. 570 Reg.
