police spokesman said. “He just put
a few hoof prints on some people’s
lawns.”
At one point, police tried to chase
the moose out of town. But the
stubborn animal ignored them and
spent several more hours in the city
before leaving.
Game wardens armed with tran
quilizer guns were called to the city,
but police said the guns were not
fired.
Officials said their only major
concern was keeping any children

campus.
The usual procedure is for the
student to pick up the mail and de
posit, load the van with other mate
rials, and go to the main campus to
make deliveries to various places.
Page said.
However, to aviod missing a
class, the student left the mail and
deposit in the van overnight. Page
said.
"We think the money was taken
either before the student left the
annex or after he parked the van for
the night,” Page said.
A $1,000 custom-made Sicilian
bicycle was stolen from in front of
the Plant Sciences building Tues
day, but was recovered by Univer
sity Police Saturday.
The bike was custom-made for
Frank Deal in Catnia, Sicily, by
frame maker Alfio Bonano, who only
makes 10 to 12 per year.
The hike was secured with “a real
cheapie lock,” said Deal, a bio
medical science senior.
The bike was recovered near a
shuttle bus stop in some bushes.
Friday at 10:30 p.m., a burglary
was in progress in a suite of women’s
dorm rooms when one of the women
returned and scared away the thief.
The thief had wrapped several re
cords and a hair dryer in a towel and
left them piled together. Three
Texas A&M season football ticket
books were stolen.
College Station Police found a
Texas A&M student’s vehicle aban
doned at the intersection of Jersey
and Timber streets with the three
ticket books inside.
University Police are looking for
the owner of the vehicle for ques
