PET of the WEEK
by Dale Whiten
For a dog which was once
known as the “cat chaser of
the neighborhood,” Otto has
changed a lot since Tager
came to live at the home of
Alan Crockarell, son of Dr.
and Mrs. Bailey Crockarell
of Jackson.
Otto is a two-and-one-half
year old reddish-brown
dachshund, and Tager is the
five month old yellow
striped kitten which has
subdued considerably the
playful, frolicking Otto in the
relatively short time since
last November when Tager
was found abandoned.
And since then Tager has
turned Otto’s world upside
down-eating with him,
playing with him and
“always beating Otto up,”
says Alan.
Mrs. Crockarell adds that
Tager must think he’s a dog
because of the way he and
Otto wrestle and play-just
like puppies.
However, Otto’s submis
sion to Tager may not have
been totally of his own doing
since Alan and his sister
Kathy set in motion a
calculated plan to force the
“cat chaser of the neighbor
hood” to be on better terms
with Tager.
Sen. Nunn Proposes SBA
Centers at Universities
U.S. Senators Sam Nunn
(D-Ga.) and Gaylord Nelson
(D-Wis.) today introduced a
bill authorizing the estab
lishment of Small Business
Development Centers at
cooperating universities
around the country.
“The centers might be
described as an ‘extension
service’ for the small
business community,” said
Nunn. The centers would
provide advice, information
and service to small
businesses similar to the type
of service currently provided
to farmers and agribusi
nesses by the Agricultural
Extension Service.
“The small businessman is
the bedrock of our economy,
and Congress should do
everything within its power
to assure his success,” said
Nunn. Nunn pointed out that
small businesses account for
97 percent of all businesses in
the United States and
generate 43 percent of the
total gross national product.
Specifically, the bill
authorizes the Small Busi
ness Administration to make
grants to colleges and
universities for the establish
ment of development centers
which would provide man
agement assistance, techni
cal information, product
planning, and development
of both domestic and interna
tional markets.
Nunn explained that the
reason for choosing univer
sities to conduct this pro
gram is because “univer
sities are aware of local
problems and local business
conditions, and are therefore
better equipped than the
federal government to ope
rate these centers.”
“Over the past several
years, the SBA has been
working with certain univer
sities which have established
programs to assist local
small businesses. Gradually,
a pilot program was de
veloped which is being
expanded to cover eight
universities around the
country. Our bill would help
to further develop this
program.”
“Recently I talked with
representatives of the uni
versity community in Geor
gia and found enthusiastic
support for this concept,”
said Nunn.
“The Small Business Com
mittee recently received
testimony that, of the 400,000
small business failures each
year, over 90 per cent are.
attributable to management
weaknesses. Large corpora
tions can hire staffs and
consultants to keep them
The plan called for Otto’s
receiving small rewards
when he was nice to Tager,
.who must have missed the
training and whose aggres
sive behavior “gets the best
of Otto” and has even
resulted in a ruptured disc in
Otto’s back because of his
jumping after Tager.
And Mrs. Crockarell jok
ingly asserts that Tager’s
aggressiveness has not been
confined to Otto and is
abreast of changing market
conditions and to provide
management assistance.
Small businesses are simply
forced out of the market.”
Senator Nunn will chair
hearings of the Small
Business Committee on
Wednesday, March 23,1977 to
receive testimony on this bill
which will be known as the
Small Business Development
Center Act of 1977.

blamed for a broken arm
Alan suffered when he
tripped as he was chasing the
impish kitten.
Incidentally, the names-
Tager is a variation of the
name of former cat of
Kathy's which had the name
of Tiger, and Otto was
selected because it was felt a
dog of German breed
deserves an old German
name.
