New Regulations Proposed

iberately are accidentally.
BULBULS are gergarious birds
that feed on fruit, berries, and
insects. Two species are establish-
ed in the United States, and other
species could become established.
STARLINGS AND MYNAHS list-
ed in the proposal are gergarious.
aggressive, and omnivorous.
Species of these birds have de-
monstrated an ease of colonization
and have been introduced widely
throughout the world. Four spec-
ies are established in the United
State* and Canada. THE JAP-
ANESE WHITE-EYE- a smell
bird- is established in Hawaii,
where it appears to compete with
native species for food. It readily
colonises new gabitats and would
compete with many continental
species if established.
interest of agriculture, horticul-
ture, forestry, wildlife or to the
wildlife resources of the United
States. A number of venomous
snakes, sting rays, piranhas, vam-
pire bats and the like are included
on the new list.
The proposed regulations do not
involve a complete ban or prohibi-
tion on the importation of any
species. However, they attempt to
insure that creatures which pose a
threat are improted only by res-
ponsible people for justifiable pur-
poses.
-Economically, on a national
basis, the overall effect of these
proposed regulations is expected
to be insignificant. These regula-
tions, if implemented as proposed,
would affect those people who
have previously imported species
of wildlife on the so-called “dirty
list” for purposes for which per-
mits cannot be issued.
The proposal would add the
following species to the existing
list of injurious wildlife for the
reasons assigned: VAMPIRE
BATS feed only on fresh blood
lapped from woulds inflictecd on
warmblooded vertebrates includ-
ing domestic mammals and man.
They are carriers and transmitters
of rabies. FERRETS, STOATS.
AND WEASELS have been de- <
structive to native wildlife where •
Mynah birds and some species of
venomous snakes are among the
species being proposed as addi-
tions to the list of injurious wildlife
which may be imported only under
permit issued by the Secretary of
the Interior for scientific, educa-
tional, zoological, or medical pur-
poses.
Public comments are invited
through May 6, 1977, on the
Interior Department’s U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service’s recently
published proposed wildlife impor-
tation regulations which would
streamline and clarify the present
regulations governing injurious
wildlife. The regulations were
published in the March 7
federal register.
The proposal would add a num-
ber of high risk species of fish and
wildlife to the present list of
injurious wildlife which may be
imported only under permit issued
by the Secretary of the Interior for
scientific, educational, aOolopcsl,
or medical purposes. Comments
should be addressed to the Direc-
tor, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser-
vice, Washington, D.C. 20240.
These additions to the 1900
Lacey Act restrictions on wildlife
imports will not otherwise change
the concept of the present regula-
tions. They will result in increased
protection to human beings, to the

To Begin Next Week
ASSEMBLY OF GOD
LUBBOCK— Texas Tech head
coach Steve Sloan will welcome
back 17 of last year's top 24
players when the Red Raiders
open spring training March 29.
The 1976 Raider squad posted a
10-2 record winning a share of the
conference title and a berth in the
Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl against
Nabraska.
“Our main objectives this spring
are to find replacements for some
excellent seniors we lost,” Sloan
said. “We also will continue to
work hard on offensive and defen-
sive fundamentals.”
A11-8WC quarterback Rodney
Allison leads eight offensive reg-
ulars back from last year’s 10-2
team.
Also returning offensively are
runningfoacks Jimmy Williams and
Billy Taylor; wide receivers Sam-
my Williams, Godfrey Turner and
Brian Nelson; tackles Greg Davis
and Dan Irons; guard Greg Wea-
sels and center Terry Anderson.
A prime area of concern for
Tech is the kicking game. Kickers
Brian Hall and David Mellott mid
punter David Kuykendall were
loot to graduation and replace-
ments must be found.
Gone defensively for the Raid-
ers are All-American linebacker
