COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY AWARDS HONORS Dr. Robert Shideler, Colorado State University, was recently inducted into the George H. Glover Gallery of Distinguished Faculty and Alumni for the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. The Gallery was established as a central location to recognize faculty and alumni who have been instrumental in the progress of the College, as well as to provide a fitting way to honor the name of the founding father and first dean, George H. Glover. The faculty and alumni honored are leaders in research, industry, education, and administration. Dr. Shidelerj oined the Department of Clinical Sciences at Colorado State University in 1974, where he served as professor of equine medicine before assuming the position of Interim Director of the Equine Sciences Program in 1990, and has continued his teaching and research interests while managing this internationally recognized program.
• In i974, ~3r. Shideler served as president of the American Association of Equine Practitioners and has been elected to numerous professional committees and editorial review boards including the Journal of Equine Veterinary Science. He is currently president and board member of the Roundup Riders of the Rockies. The Colorado Veterinary Medical Association honored him with the "Outstanding Faculty Member" award in 1993 for his longtime dedication to teaching and service to the profession. Dr. Shideler plans to retire from CSU in September. Dr. E.L. (Ed) Squires has received the Jack E. Cermak Outstanding Adviser Award for 1993-94. The graduate school at Colorado State University selects one individual, full-time academic faculty member to receive this award in recognition of excellence in the performance of academic advising. The selection was made by a committee of both faculty and graduate students. Dr. Squires has advised or co-advised nearly 50 graduate students over the last 18 years. His nomination was

students with recurring themes of a caring attitude, ability to listen, and the building of an honest relationship of trust which continues years after graduation. Current and former graduate students seek the advice of Dr. Squires, not only for his genuine care and concern for his students, but also because he has a great number of contacts with the industry through his publications, speaking engagements, and the short course series conducted by the Equine Sciences Program. Squires is director of the Equine Reproduction Laboratory at Colorado State University. He currently serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Equine Veterinary
Science. EDITORIAL continued
Currently Rhone Merieux has only one equine vaccine, Imrab~ (rabies
vaccine, labeled for horses), but they plan to soon have a vaccine for Potomac Horse Fever on the market. The same rationale applies for equine vaccines as dog and cat vaccines. Hildebrand says, "Veterinarians, through their use, recommendation, and dispensing, have made many products household names. To have these products then sold through OTC channels is an insult to every hard-working veterinary practitioner in the country." Animal vaccines are regulated by the United States Department of Agriculture. There is much political pressure brought to bear against controlling OTC vaccines for animals, from various livestock groups and animal industry groups. Increasingly, however, animal owners and producers are going to be held to the same standards as veterinarians for proper care and treatment of animals. It is overdue, in the opinion of this editor.
