"Sara, 3 , was bom with a colon
blockage and has also had open heart
surgery," Virginia Ramirez, Sara's
grandmother, explained. "Sara is a
happy little girl and she loves ani-
mals. Her mother found out about
this program from Sara's teacher and
thought it could enhance Sara's reha-
bilitation therapy," Ramirez said,
"Some of the children in the pro-
gram are simply hyperactive and are
in the program to learn self-disci-
pline and improve their concentra-
tion," Snyder explains.
" The program is open to anyone
who could benefit from equine
therapy," he said.
More critical disabilities that re-
spond to equine assisted therapy are
cerebral palsy, autism, spina bifida,
developmental delay, emotional dis-
turbances, poliomyelits, scoliosis,
head injuries and strokes.
Therapeutic riding involves all of
the muscles of the body and stimu-
lates all body systems, including the
respiratory and cardiovascular sys-
tems. The rhythmical gait of the
Do you want a flu shot
Ms. Janice Irons, nurse prac-
titioner in the Student Health

encourages students to send
their requests via a survey
box located at the informa-
tion desk. You can clip this
box, sign your name and drop

When you

different phases of this growing area
of service," Snyder said.
"With the exception of the stu-
dents in my Advanced Topics in
Horse Science course all of the help
with the program is totally voluntary,
most of the students are members of
either the Horseman' s Association or
the Dairy Club," Snyder said. "There
is no funding from the university yet,
but we hope to start an endowment
fund to help make the program a
lasting one," he said.
All of the equipment that is being
used in the program has been donated
by local merchants including Cook
Lumber Co., Show Stoppers, Postons
Farm Store, Callahan General Store,
and Chick Elms. The horses have
been provided by Heather Wright
and Stephanie Bratcher.
" This program can use all the
help it can get. We would be very
grateful for volunteers and donations.
We need saddles, helmets, halters
and horses just to name a few things,"
Snyder said. For more information

ries because of the nature of the
funds...some of those funds, how-
ever, could be used for salary in-
creases and so forth."
The Sav-On lot is an example,
McCabe said. Tarleton has building
funds for only the purpose of buying
or renovating property. Such funds
are not sufficent to increase the sala-
ries consistently.
"One concept that is somewhat
hard to understand is once you make
a salary commitment to someone—
deserving as it is—then that commit-
ment is not only for the current year
but the next year and so on...if you
take a dollar and fix a roof, for ex-
ample, it's a one time cost."
The issue of salaries could effect
the campus indirectly by "weakening I
the morale" of the faculty, McCabe
said.
Compared with the rest of the
A&M System, Tarleton ranks in the
lower third in teachers' salaries.
Tarleton's ranking is also in that area
compared to universities across the
state.
"People feel that if their worth in
the institution is not compensated
appropriately that certainly can re-
duce someone's morale...If salary
dollars, over time, salaries dollars
don' t reflect a person's effort or per-
formance then I say overall effective
of the institution could fade."
